Charnel Deception (Ex) A Leng hound can retract its bestial features into its body as a full-round action—its fur and wings retract, the skin covering them slithers into hidden cavities, and its jaws pull back into a humanlike face. This grants it a +10 bonus on Disguise checks to appear as the decayed corpse of a slightly deformed human or similarly sized humanoid.

Grave Link (Su) As a full-round action, a Leng hound can designate a grave containing the corpse of a creature that was evil in life as its grave link. When the Leng hound uses word of recall , it returns to this grave (a Leng hound with no active grave link cannot use word of recall ). If a creature disturbs this grave or loots it, the Leng hound’s locate creature and locate object spell-like abilities have no range limit when searching for the creature that disturbed the grave or any objects looted from the grave.

Haunting Howl (Su) Three times per day, a Leng hound can emit a deep, sardonic howl. Only creatures within 300 feet that the Leng hound has tracked or attempted to find with divination spell-like abilities can hear this haunting howl. Such creatures must succeed at a DC 20 Will save or take 1d4 points of Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma damage and become shaken for 1 hour. This is a mind-affecting fear effect. The save DC is Charisma-based.

Mutilate (Ex) A Leng hound savages its victims, shredding flesh and crushing bones. Whenever a Leng hound hits a creature with all three natural attacks in a single round, or with Vital Strike, the target must succeed at a DC 21 Fortitude save or take 2 points of Constitution drain. The save DC is Constitution-based.
