Special Abilities

Cold Inured (Ex) An espraksa treats severe cold as cold and extreme cold as severe cold. Snatch (Ex) This functions as the grab universal creature rule, except the espraksa must hit with two talon attacks during the same turn to grab. Only one talon must hit the target’s KAC + 4 (or + 13) to trigger the free grab (or pin), but both must hit.
