SPECIAL ABILITIES

Prehensile Tail (Ex)

A zoog’s prehensile tail cannot wield a weapon or manipulate an object, but it can carry an object with ease. A zoog can retrieve a stowed item with its tail as a free action or pick up an adjacent item as a swift action, provided the object is relatively small (no more than 3 pounds).

Trap Mastery (Ex)

A zoog gains a +2 racial bonus on all Craft (traps) checks, as well as on all Disable Device and Perception checks made to disable or notice traps (this racial bonus stacks with the standard +4 racial bonus zoogs possess on Perception checks). A zoog gains a +2 dodge bonus to its AC against traps and has a +2 insight bonus on any saving throw it makes against the effects of a trap.

ECOLOGY

Environment temperate forests (Dreamlands)
Organization solitary, pair, or family (3–12)
Treasure standard

All four of a zoog’s limbs are clawed and form small prehensile hands. They are small rat-like beings, rarely weighing more than 20 pounds.
