• Acid Spray (Ex): Plagas can emit a 20’ cone of acid (2d4 damage, Reflex save DC12 for half damage) every 1d4+4 rounds; creatures hit by the spray suffer a -2 penalty to all Will saves to resist infection from Plaga spores (see Las Plagas: Disease, above) for 10 rounds (1 minute)

• Head Bite (Ex): Beta Plagas can lash out with a bite attack (+6 melee, 3d8+2 damage, 17-20/×3) once every 1d4+4 rounds, hitting opponents up to 5’ away; this attack is aimed at an opponent’s head, & so ignores any armor bonus to AC unless the opponent is wearing a helmet; this attack cannot be used against creatures without a discernable head (such as an ooze or a swarm) or creatures immune to critical hits (such as constructs & undead)

• Command Host (Ex): Plagas within a host can direct the actions of that host, commanding it to perform any action that the host is capable of doing; this ability operates identically to a dominate monster spell, except the host is not allowed a saving throw to negate the effect, & the effect has a range of touch; this ability is in effect until either the host is dead (-10HP or below, even decapitation is not completely sufficient to cause death in this case), the Plaga is dead, or the Plaga is removed from the host

• Burst Forth (Ex): If the host has been critically injured (less than 25% HP remaining, all the way to -9HP), the Plaga can partially emerge from the body, exploding out of the largest wound; the Plaga can continue to control the body (via the Command Host ability, above), even if the host would normally be considered dead; this maneuver grants the Plaga cover, & allows it to survive the death of the host

• Infectious Spores (Ex): once per day, Plagas can release a cloud of infectious spores; all creatures within a 10’ radius are exposed to Plaga spores (see Las Plagas: Disease, above); this cloud has no effect in sunlight or within the radius of a daylight spell

• Light Weakness (Ex): Plagas are helpless in sunlight or within the radius of a daylight spell, taking 1d6+4 damage per round; in addition, a Plaga exposed to bright light must make a Fortitude save (DC20) or immediately die; Plagas can avoid these effects if it remains within significant shadow, underground, in moonlight or starlight, within the radius of a darkness spell, or while entirely within the body of a host
