Euchambersia

This creature at the same time resembles both a monitor lizard and a dog-like mammal. Its head looks more dog-like, though, due to the whiskers and large fangs. Bristle-like hair sprouts in various places from its rust-brown hide.

Euchambersia waits for prey to come along, then charges in to bite. It usually attempts to hold on to its prey. If threatened by a larger creature, however, it will flee.

Poison (Ex): Euchambersia’s venom is a neurotoxin that slows the prey’s reflexes and prevents it from struggling (Fort DC 13, 1d4 Dexterity/1d4 Dexterity).
