SPECIAL ABILITIES

Time Filch (Su)

If a temporal filcher successfully grapples a Large or smaller creature, it latches onto the opponent’s body and shifts 7 minutes forward in time as a free action. Observers (if any) see the temporal filcher and its prey disappear in a shimmer, then reappear 7 minutes later in exactly the orientation and condition they left. For the filcher and its prey, no time passes at all. The victim must succeed on a Will save (DC 16) or be dazed for 1 round from temporal disorientation. The ability is otherwise identical to time hop manifested by an 8th-level manifester.

Grab (Ex)

To use this ability, a temporal filcher must hit a creature of Large size or smaller with two claw attacks. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking attacks of opportunity.

If it wins the grapple check, it establishes a hold and uses its time filch ability.

ECOLOGY

Environment any
Organization solitary
Treasure standard

Yellowish in appearance, with gray and blue markings, temporal filchers use their psionic abilities to hop their prey forward in time, preventing the prey’s allies, should there be any, from offering aid.

Large, aggressive, and dangerous, temporal filchers are predators that hunt by using its chameleon power, waiting for prey. Preferring to ambush the rear of a group, the temporal filcher uses surprise as part of its strategy, then hopping forward in time to confuse any other possible opponents.

If wounded, a temporal filcher will use its time filch ability on itself in an attempt to confuse its opponents and then retreat to safety once its enemies have departed.
