| 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. |

| 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. |
