Special Abilities

Antler Reverberation (Ex) Using its antlers to amplify its chattering, an arabuk can make a ranged attack as a standard action against a single target. This attack has a range increment of 40 feet, targets EAC, and has the deafen critical hit effect. A creature hit by the attack must succeed at a DC 16 Fortitude save or become staggered for 1 round. Arctic Guardian (Ex) An arabuk ignores difficult terrain and visibility penalties from snow and heavy snow. Territorial Pride (Ex) An arabuk rarely masks its presence, taking a –8 penalty to Stealth while in its home territory. Instead, it becomes a pillar of obstinacy, gaining a +4 circumstance bonus to AC against combat maneuvers unless the attacker is two or more size categories larger than the arabuk.
