SPECIAL ABILITIES

Aura of Fear (Ex)

Enemies within 30 ft. of the Squorrus must make a Will save DC 20 (10 + 1/2 HD + Charisma modifier) or be frightened for as long as they stay in the aura. If they pass the saving throw, they are immune to this effect for 24 hours.

Insanity

Due to the squorrus’ insane mind, it cannot distinguish allies (unless its allies are other squorri) and attacks anyone when in combat, even its owner if it is a pet. As an improved familiar it recognizes its owner as an ally, but not any of the owner’s allies.
