A rast has anywhere from ten to fifteen claws, though it can only use four at once.

A rast has a body about the size of a large dog’s, with a head almost as large as the body. It weighs about 200 pounds.

===Combat===

Rasts paralyze as many of their foes as possible, then attack any that are still moving. A rast can claw or bite, but cannot do both during the same [[SRD:Round|round]].

'''Paralyzing [[SRD:Gaze|Gaze]] ([[SRD:Su|Su]]):''' [[SRD:Paralysis|Paralysis]] for 1d6 rounds, 30 feet, [[SRD:Saving Throw|Fortitude]] [[SRD:DC|DC]] 13 negates. The save [[SRD:DC|DC]] is [[SRD:Charisma|Charisma]]-based.

'''[[SRD:Improved Grab|Improved Grab]] ([[SRD:Ex|Ex]]):''' To use this ability, a rast must hit with its bite attack. It can then attempt to start a [[SRD:Grapple|grapple]] as a [[SRD:Free Actions|free action]] without provoking an [[SRD:Attacks of Opportunity|attack of opportunity]].

'''Blood Drain ([[SRD:Ex|Ex]]):''' A rast drains blood from a grabbed opponent, dealing 1 point of [[SRD:Constitution|Constitution]] damage each [[SRD:Round|round]] it maintains the hold.

'''[[SRD:Flight|Flight]] ([[SRD:Su|Su]]):''' A rast can cease or resume [[SRD:Flight|flight]] as a [[SRD:Free Actions|free action]]. A rast that loses this ability falls and can perform only a single action (either a [[SRD:Move Actions|move action]] or an attack action) each [[SRD:Round|round]].
