Gnaw (Ex) When an aatheriexa shares the same square as a helpless creature, it can automatically deal 3d6 points of damage as a swift action by gnawing with its central maw.

Float (Ex) Aatheriexa can fly, though they must remain with 2 feet of a solid or liquid surface.

Tentacles (Ex) An aatheriexa’s barbed eyestalk tentacles must all strike at a single target, but they do so as a primary attack. The tentacles deal bludgeoning and slashing damage and grant the aatheriexa a +8 bonus on grapple combat maneuver checks.

Withering (Ex) An aatheriexa’s tentacles secrete a toxin that causes flesh to swiftly rot and slough off the bone. A creature damaged by an aatheriexa’s tentacles or constrict attack must succeed at a DC 18 Fortitude save or take 1d4 points of Strength damage and 1d4 points of Constitution damage. This is a poison effect and the save DC is Constitution-based.
