Temporal filchers do not speak.

===Combat===

'''[[SRD:Improved Grab|Improved Grab]] ([[SRD:Ex|Ex]]):''' To use this ability, a temporal filcher must hit a creature of Large size or smaller with two claw attacks. It can then attempt to start a [[SRD:Grapple|grapple]] as a [[SRD:Free Actions|free action]] without provoking [[SRD:Attacks of Opportunity|attacks of opportunity]]. If it wins the [[SRD:Grapple|grapple check]], it establishes a hold and uses its time filch ability.

'''[[SRD:Psi-Like Ability|Psi-Like Abilities]]:''' At will—''[[SRD:Chameleon|chameleon]]'', ''[[SRD:Distract|distract]]'' ([[SRD:DC|DC]] 13), ''[[SRD:Psionic Dimension Door|psionic dimension door]]'', ''[[SRD:Psionic Levitate|psionic levitate]]'', ''[[SRD:Wall Walker|wall walker]];'' 3/ day—''[[SRD:Mental Barrier|mental barrier]]''. [[SRD:Manifester Level|Manifester level]] 8th. The save [[SRD:DC|DC]] is [[SRD:Charisma|Charisma]]-based.

'''Time Filch ([[SRD:Su|Su]]):''' If a temporal filcher successfully grapples a Large or smaller creature, it latches onto the opponent’s body and shifts 7 minutes forward in time as a [[SRD:Free Actions|free action]]. Observers (if any) see the temporal filcher and its prey disappear in a shimmer, then reappear 7 minutes later in exactly the orientation and condition they left. For the filcher and its prey, no time passes at all. The victim must succeed on a [[SRD:Saving Throw|Will save]] ([[SRD:DC|DC]] 16) or be [[SRD:Dazed|dazed]] for 1 [[SRD:Round|round]] from temporal disorientation. The ability is otherwise identical to ''[[SRD:Time Hop|time hop]]'' manifested by an 8th-level manifester.
