Alluring Scent (Ex) The Menotherian constantly exudes intoxicating pheromones that cause creatures in her vicinity to grow relaxed and react favorably toward her. Any creature within 30 feet of her must make a DC 26 Fortitude save or adjust its attitude one step closer to friendly; the creature makes a save on the first round of exposure and every minute thereafter. Creatures with the scent ability take a –4 penalty on their saving throws. The Menotherian prefers to let this ability take effect before trying to negotiate with others, though it works even in combat (in long-term battles, opponents have been known to ask to parlay with her after sufficient exposure). A creature ceases to attack her once its attitude shifts away from hostile (but if she attacks it again, its attitude resets to hostile). This is a mind-affecting poison effect. The save DC is Constitution-based.

Alternate Form (Su) The Menotherian can change into her elf-like form or back again at will as a move-equivalent action. In her elf form she cannot use her natural attacks, implant swarms, or mind control, but can still use her spell-like abilities and alluring scent. She can also take the form of a giant wasp or a normal wasp, though she normally only uses these shapes as disguises rather than for battle.

Implant Swarm (Ex) Once per day as a standard action, the Menotherian can use her stinger to implant a cluster of eggs in a target. The affected creature must make a DC 26 Fort save to avoid implantation; this DC is Constitution-based. The eggs gestate in 2d4 rounds, during which the target is nauseated. When the gestation period ends, the eggs hatch into a chaotic neutral hellwasp swarm with a hive mind. The swarm swiftly consumes the victim’s innards, killing the host immediately, then inhabits and animates the body as a zombie-like creature. A remove disease spell rids a victim of the eggs during the gestation period, as does a DC 30 Heal check made as a fullround action that provokes attacks of opportunity.

Mind Control (Su) The Menotherian can inject a concentrated form of its alluring scent directly into the brain of a helpless or willing humanoid creature. If the creature fails a DC 26 Fortitude save, the herald can control the target for the next 24 hours as if using dominate person , though the Menotherian must verbally give the target instructions.

Poison (Su) Injury, Fortitude DC 26, initial damage 2d6 Dex, secondary damage 1d6 Dex. The save DC is Constitution-based.
