Sinthar, also known as scythebeasts, are vicious, highly adaptable insectoid-like creatures that roam the planes, and stand at waist height to a man. Its claws and mandibles, with the aid of acid-like saliva, are used for burrowing into the ground where it often lies in wait for prey, sensing vibrations through tremorsense. It has very powerful rear legs and runs on all fours with its forelimbs. On its back are two very formidable limbs with scythe-like blades made of bone.
Spell-like Abilities
At will—ghost sound (DC 16), 1/day—planeshift. The save DCs are Wisdom-based and the Sinthar gains a +4 racial bonus to the save DC.
Pounce (Ex): If a Sinthar charges, it can make a full attack.
Trip (Ex): A Sinthar that hits with a scythe claw attack can attempt to trip the opponent (+1 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 Sinthar.
Skills
A Sinthar has a +8 racial bonus on Hide, Jump, Listen, Spot, and Survival checks, and have a +4 racial bonus on Survival checks when tracking by scent.
