Special Abilities

Sonic Screech (Su)

A mobat can blast an ear-splitting screech that affects all creatures (except other mobats) within a 20-ft. radius. The screech stuns any creature in the area for 1d3 rounds if it fails a DC 15 Will save. This is a sonic mind-affecting effect. Whether or not the save succeeds an affected creature is immune to the same mobat's screech for 24 hours. The save DC is Constitution-based.

Organization: solitary or colony (2-8)

The mobat has a wingspan of approximately 15 feet. It is a nocturnal creature, cruising silently through the night sky in its never ending quest for food. A mobat, like any species of normal bat, has huge ears and an upturned snout. Mobats are omnivores, but they often include warmblooded prey in their diet.

A mobat attacks by biting its opponent using its razor sharp fangs. Surviving prey is subjected to the mobat's sonic screech attack.
