Hold Breath Ssazter can hold its breath for 8 minutes and 2 rounds before it risks drowning.
Poison (Ex) Injury (bite attack), Fortitude DC 22, initial and secondary damage 1d6 Str. The save DC is Constitution-based.
Deforestation (Sp) Once per day, as a full-round action, Ssazter can kill all nonsentient plant life within a 120-foot radius. The controller of any potentially affected plant must make a DC 23 Fortitude save to keep the plant alive. The plants show no immediate visible signs of death, but within 24-hours they turn brown and wither. Only protected plant may grow in a deforested area until it has a hallow spell cast upon it and is reseeded. Ssazter must use this ability each day in a terrain that has more than sparse vegetation in order to cast its spells.
Blightfire (Su) As a standard action, Ssazter can deal 5d6 points of fire damage to all creatures within 10 feet of it (Reflex half; DC 23). The save DC is Wisdom-based. This ability ignites any flammable objects it touches.
Sustenance (Ex) Ssazter does not need food or water to survive.
Undead Wild Shape (Sp) Three times per day, Ssazter can take the form of a Medium or Large animal with the skeleton template. This ability otherwise functions like the druid's wild shape ability.
Speak With Dead Animal (Sp) Once per day, Ssazter can cast speak with dead on the corpses of animals.
Contagious Touch (Su) Once per day, Ssazter can produce an effect like that of a contagious touchCD.
Animate Dead Animal (Sp) Once per day, Ssazter can cast animate dead on the corpses of animal creatures without the need for material components.

Ssazter presented here had the following ability scores before racial adjustments, ability score increases, and template adjustments: Str 14, Dex 12, Con 13, Int 8, Wis 15, Cha 10.
