(10 squares)  Armor Class: 14 (-1 size, +1 Dex, +4 natural), touch 10, flat-footed 13Base Attack/Grapple: +6/+16Attack: Bite +11 melee (1d8+9)Full Attack: Bite +11 melee (1d8+9)Space/Reach: 10 ft./5 ft.Special Attacks: Scare, tripSpecial Qualities: Alternate form, darkvision 60 ft., immunity to enchantments, low-light vision, invisibility, scent, shadow guiseSaves: Fort +9, Ref +6, Will +7Abilities: Str 22, Dex 13, Con 18, Int 12, Wis 15, Cha 13Skills: ?Trip (Ex): If a ghula in hyena form hits with its bite attack it can attempt to trip  the opponent (+10 check modifier) as a free action without making a touch attack or provoking an attack of opportunity. If the attempt fails, the opponent cannot react to trip the ghula.  Immunity to Enchantments (Ex): A  ghula is immune to all spells and spell-like abilities with the  Enchantment descriptor.  Invisibility (Su): A  ghula can become invisible as a quick action, as per the spell invisibility  (caster level 15th) with an unlimited duration. The invisibility ends  if the ghula attacks. A ghula can become visible as a free action. Scare (Su): As a move-equivalent action, a ghula can become a  horrible, misshapen apparition for a fraction of a second. This alone  is usually  sufficient to terrify foes into cooperation or flight (treat  as a Bluff or Intimidate check with a  +3 bonus).   As a standard action, it can intensify this ability to produce an  unsettling  effect which works like a scare spell from a  9th-level caster (Will DC 14 partial). A creature that successfully   saves cannot be affected again by the same ghula's scare ability for  24  hours. Ghula are not affected by the scare attacks of other ghula. This  is a supernatural, sight-based, mind-affecting fear effect. The save DC  is Charisma-based.     Shadow Guise (Su): A ghula can take on the form of  any living, corporeal creature from two sizes smaller than itself to two  sizes larger. Thus a Medium-sized ghula can take on a form between Tiny  and Huge in size. Although this guise looks, sounds and smells real the  changes to its body are mostly quasi-real illusion, similar to  creatures created by a shadow conjuration spell. The ghula's  stats do not change except as follows: It gains the Aquatic subtype or  the Amphibious special quality if it  takes the form of a creature with  those traits; It gains the natural movement rates of its new form; It  applies the size adjustments of its new form to its grapple checks, AC,  attacks and skill checks; The damage caused by its attacks is reduced if  it diminishes in size, but does not increase it it enlarges itself.  Shadow guise gives a ghula a +10 bonus on its Disguise checks.Spell-Like Abilities (Sp): A ghula can use ghost sound and minor image at-will (caster level 6th).</blockquote>
