Combat

Shonorr is now weary of those around him, having been brought low during a fight with a blue dragon, he now keeps a watchful eye on those he interacts with and if attacked, he doesn't hesitate to deal out lethal force, especially to blues.

Alternate Form: Shonorr can assume any animal or humanoid form of Medium size or smaller as a standard action three times per day. This ability functions as a polymorph spell cast on itself as a 13th caster, except that Shonorr does not regain hit points for changing form and can only assume the form of an animal or humanoid. Shonorr can remain in his animal or humanoid form until he chooses to assume a new one or return to his natural form.

Breath Weapon (Su): Line of lightning, 100ft long, every 1d4 rounds; damage 14d6, Reflex half DC 27. Shonorr can use a cone of repulsion gas instead of lightning, those that fail their saves against it move away from him for 1d6+7 rounds.

Crush: Area 20ft by 15ft, Small or smaller opponents take 4d6+9 of bludgeoning damage and must make a Reflex saving throw (DC 27) or be pinned; grapple bonus +41.

Frightful Presence (Ex): 210ft radius, creatures with 24HD or less, Willpower save DC 27.

Spell-Like Abilities: At will –speak with animals, 3/day –create food & water, fog cloud.
