SPECIAL ABILITIES

Freeze (Ex)

A komainu can hold itself so still it appears to be a statue, allowing it to take 10 on its Stealth check to hide in plain sight as a stone statue.

A komainu can maintain this position for as long as it wishes.

Paired Protectors (Su)

When two or more komainu or other guardian creatures are within 30 feet of one another, they both gain the benefit of a protection from evil spell. The caster level of this protection from evil effect is equal to the highest Hit Dice of the affected creatures. This effect can be dispelled, but if it is, a komainu can reactivate it as a swift action.

Stony Defense (Su)

A number of times per day equal to its Hit Dice, a komainu can harden its skin to unyielding stone as an immediate action. It gains hardness 8 until the end of its next turn, but its speed is reduced by 10 feet for the same duration.

ECOLOGY

Environment any (Nirvana)
Organization solitary or pair
Treasure none

There can be no mistaking this animal-like creature for a mere beast, for its face has an almost supernaturally human look to it.
