Jolt (Ex) A targotha stores electrical potential that it can expend as a ranged touch attack with a range of 240 feet. Using this ability within oil or tar reduces its range to 30 feet. A targotha can’t use this ability in water. A jolt deals 12d6 points of electricity damage, and the target is stunned for 1d4 rounds (Fortitude DC 28 negates the stun effect). It can use this ability once every 1d4+1 rounds. The save DC is Constitution-based.

Razor Fins (Ex) A targotha’s razor fins are a primary attack that deal slashing damage and threaten a critical hit on a 19 or 20, augmented to 17–20 by its Improved Critical feat.

Slippery (Ex) A targotha secretes a thick mucus that allows it to move gracefully through viscous fluids like tar and oil. This mucus dissolves away adhesives (such as sovereign glue, tanglefoot bags, and webs) in 1d4 rounds. Additionally, all combat maneuver checks to grapple a targotha automatically fail, and the targotha automatically succeeds at any combat maneuver checks and Escape Artist checks to escape a grapple or a pin.

Tail Slap (Ex) A targotha adds 1-1/2 × its Strength modifier to damage rolls for its tail slap. A targotha can attempt a bull rush combat maneuver check against a creature struck by its tail slap as a free action without provoking attacks of opportunity. The targotha can’t move as part of this bull rush.

Volatile Breath (Ex) A targotha can breathe a 60-foot cone of flammable gas as a breath weapon. As a swift action, it can ignite the gas by using its jolt ability. When ignited, the gas explodes, dealing 15d6 points of fire damage to all creatures in the area (Reflex DC 23 half). If not ignited, the gas lingers in the area until dissipating at the start of the targotha’s next turn. All creatures that breathe this gas in are confused for 1d4 rounds (Fortitude DC 23 negates). The save DCs are Constitution-based and have a –5 racial penalty.
