SPECIAL ABILITIES

Baleful Whinny (Su) As a standard action, a sagari can
emit a monstrous whinny. Any creature within 60 feet
must succeed at a DC 12 Will save or become sickened for
1d4 rounds by the hideous sound. This is a sonic, mindaffecting effect. Whether or not the save is successful, the
affected creature is immune to the same sagari’s baleful
whinny for 24 hours. The save DC is Charisma-based.
Flight (Su) A sagari’s flight is supernatural in nature.
Lashing Strike (Ex) Although a sagari is Tiny, it does not
provoke attacks of opportunity when it makes melee
attacks. In addition, its tentacle attack is a primary attack.

air with their terrifying neighs and diving upon utterly
helpless, nauseated victims in a rush.
The tentacle of a sagari is not strong enough to
grab or strangle enemies, but serves the creature well
as an additional attack to augment its bite. Sagaris are
strictly carnivorous, and while they resort to feeding
on carrion if necessary, they greatly prefer fresh meat.
When a sagari makes its way into a settlement either to
wreak havoc or by accident, it can be found hanging
from the rafters of a barn or some other structure

with a tall ceiling. Stabled livestock are ideal prey for
sagaris, who can swiftly kill and devour the flesh of a
trapped animal in minutes. A sagari will not attack a
creature that it suspects is much stronger, though it will
sometimes assault groups of creatures, hoping to sicken
enough of its foes to distract them while it attacks the
weakest individual.
