So using the Pathfinder Create a Race (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/gamemastering/arg-creating-new-races) I made a few new races for my campaign, Now some started off with an image idea, like the Coluans (Constructs ala Brainiac 5), Some with a concept like my Aventi reboot from stormwrack, and some with just looking at a cool feature.
Hence my issue with my Atailians. I built them around one thing I saw and thought was cool. The following three abilities.Slapping Tail (3 RP)
Prerequisites: None.
Benefit: Members of this race have a tail they can use to make attacks of opportunity with a reach of 5 feet. The tail is a natural attack that deals 1d6 points of damage plus the user's Strength modifier if Small, 1d8 points of damage plus the user's Strength modifier if Medium, or 1d10 points of damage plus 1-1/2 times the user's Strength modifier if Large.
Special: If a Large creature has the reach trait, its tail also gains reach.
Tripping Tail (3 RP)
Prerequisites: Slapping tail trait.
Benefit: When a member of this race hits with its slapping tail, it can make a trip attack as a free action that does not provoke attacks of opportunity.
Prehensile Tail (2 RP)
Prerequisites: None.
Benefit: Members of this race have a long, flexible tail that can be used to carry objects. They cannot wield weapons with their tails, but they can retrieve small, stowed objects carried on their persons as a swift action. So it's a monstrous human, with no defined benefits or deficits yet. However I have no real idea what they should look like. They have al sorts of races out there, and many who have tails just for look. However I'm not sure what ones haven't ben done. But I do want them to be sort of individualistic.
TL;DR
Name some animals that have tails that have not been made into a race already please and thank you.
