A shissah feels at home in the desert and does not treat light rubble or sand as Difficult Terrain. It gains a +4 Racial bonus on Survival checks in the desert, and it treats hot temperatures as one category less for the purposes of heat danger. Thus, a shissah does not suffer unduly in very hot conditions, treating severe heat as very hot and extreme heat as severe heat.

Easily Trained (Ex)

Desert Senses (Ex)

A shissah is familiar with mirages and gains a +4 Racial bonus on Saving Throws against mirage effects and against effects that cause the Dazzled condition. It gains a +4 Racial bonus on Perception checks in deserts.
