Special Abilities

Cavernous Maw (Ex) A holofang can open or close its maw as a move action and can make bite attacks or use its holographic lure ability only if its maw is open. If the holofang grapples or pins a creature with its swallow whole ability, its maw closes and remains closed for as long as the creature is swallowed. If a swallowed creature climbs out of the holofang, the maw reopens. Hardened Carapace (Su) A holofang gains DR 10/— when its maw is closed. This DR also applies against attacks made by creatures the holofang has swallowed who attempt to cut their way out. Holographic Lure (Su) As a move action, a holofang submerged underwater that has its maw open can project a visual hologram and minor sounds, as a 2nd-level casting of holographic image (DC 13) with a range of 100 feet and limited to no more than 10 feet beyond the water’s surface. Photosensitive Eye (Su) When a creature scores a hit with a laser weapon on the holofang while the holofang’s maw is open, the attack is a critical hit, and the holofang is both blinded and unable to use its holographic lure ability until the end of its next turn. Tentacular Eye (Ex) When a holofang’s maw is shut, its single eye is trapped inside its mouth, granting the creature the blinded condition.
