Woe the traveler that runs afaul of a horde of Lapahn in the dead of winter...
Lapahn are highly aggressive creatures. Outwardly, they appear to be a cross of many different sorts of creatures. Originally a highly devolved, carnivorous species of rabbit, lapahn are the size of polar bears and have the body build of a large primate, allowing them to jump and climb extremely swiftly, whilst having a wolf-like pack community. They are wily hunters and extremely cunning. An adult lapahn stands roughly 12 feet tall and weighs about 1,200 pounds.
Combat[]
Virtually untamable, lapahn are unrivaled in their aggression and often attack humanoids on sight. Any Handle Animal check involving lapahn is taken with a -20 penalty.
Expert Leaper (Ex): A lapahn is a very avid jumper. It may take 10 on any Jump check, even in adverse conditions or when it is being threatened. It is always treated as making a running start and may leap 1 foot high for every 2 points of its Jump check.
Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, a lapahn must hit with a claw attack. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity.
Rage (Ex): Lapahn may volutarily enter a state of rage 3 times per day. This functions like a barbarian's greater rage ability and lasts 1 minute once activated. The lapahn gains a +6 bonus to Strength and Constitution, a +3 bonus to Will saving throws, and a -2 penalty to Armor Class. At the end of its rage, a lapahn becomes fatigued for 1 minute.
Skills: A lapahn has a +8 racial bonus on any Jump check or any Climb check to perform some special action or avoid a hazard. It can always choose to take 10 on a Climb check, even if distracted or endangered. It can use the run action while climbing, provided it climbs in a straight line. *A lapahn’s white coat bestows a +12 racial bonus on Hide checks in snowy areas.
