This saber-toothed tiger eyes you warily as you approach, then bounds away, letting a lightning bolt loose as it leaps.

Raikou is one of the three legendary beasts of Johto, loyal servants of Ho-Oh. Thought by some to be a reincarnated Jolteon, what is certain is that Raikou once perished in a terrible blaze, but was resurrected by Ho-Oh. Now Raikou runs wildly around the land of Johto, bringing lightning with it wherever it goes.

Combat

In spite of its fearsome power, Raikou is very skittish, and would much rather flee from a confrontation than stay and fight. However, if forced to do battle, then Raikou will launch lightning at its adversaries from the cloud on its back and bite at them with its cruel, vicious fangs.

Pounce (Ex): Like most cats and catlike creatures, Raikou is able to make a full attack from a charge.

Bite (Ex): Raikou's bite is really, really unpleasant to get hit by. Any creature hit by Raikou's bite attack must succeed on a DC 20 Fortitude save (Strength-based) or flinch for 1 round. A flinching creature reels back in fear, unable to take actions (but perfectly capable of defending itself); treat it as being dazed. This is a [Fear, Mind-Affecting] effect.

Leer (Su): As a standard action, Raikou may attempt to unsettle opponents and make them open up their guard a bit. Its menacing stare affects all targets within a 30-foot cone that meet Raikou's gaze, forcing them to succeed on a Will save (DC 21, Wisdom-based) or gain damage susceptibility 3/physical for 5 rounds. This is treated as a gaze attack, and thus can be avoided in any of the same ways that a gaze attack can be, but it is not continuously active; Raikou has to consciously choose to use it. (It's just like a vampire's dominating gaze in that respect.) Leer is a [Fear, Mind-Affecting] effect, with all of the capabilities and limitations that are implied by said descriptors (for instance, Raikou's wasting its time by trying to use Leer on a mindless creature or a paladin).

Quick Attack (Su): As a swift action, Raikou may use haste on itself and gain an additional standard or move action per round. (Normally, Quick Attack would grant the Spring Attack feat, but Raikou already has it.) It may deactivate both effects as another swift action. These boosts can only be active for a total of 40 rounds/day. This is a [Normal] effect.
