Ebon Tigers appear to be large tigers composed entirely of black flame. Their origin is uncertain, but given that Rakasta priests commonly use them as guardians they may be magical in origin.

Blinding Bite (Su): Ebon Tiger bites are poisonous. Injury, DC 18 (Save DC is Constitution based), Initial damage is Dazzled 1 Minute, Secondary damage is permanent Blindness.

Separated from Nature: Ebon Tigers do not require water or sleep, and can go (Constitution Modifier) months without eating before they risk starvation.

Shadow Invisibility (Ex): Ebon Tigers are invisible in complete darkness.

Out of Phase (Ex): Ebon Tigers co-exist on the Material and Ethereal Planes simultaneously. They are considered corporeal versus Ethereal or incorporeal beings and vice versa.

Skills: Ebon Tigers have a +8 racial bonus on Hide, Listen, Move Silently and Spot checks.

Combat: Ebon Tigers are pretty much like regular great cats, ambushing prey from hiding.
