Laser Eyes (Su) A lasereye falcon can fire a laser beam from its eye with 10 feet range increment, dealing 2d8 points of fire damage on a successful ranged touch attack, and dazzling the target for one round, even if the attack missed. A laser attack can pass through force fields and force effects. It can also pass through transparent barriers, though it deals damage to the barrier in the process. Invisible creatures are immune to laser damage. Fog, smoke, and other clouds provide cover as well as concealment against laser attacks. Darkness (magical or otherwise) provides concealment against laser attacks. Lasereye falcon can't use its laser eyes attack when suffering from blindness.

Glare-Resistant (Ex) A lasereye falcon eyes are resistant to light-based dazzling and blinding effect, though they can be blinded normally through other effects.

Opportunity Mark (Ex) When a creature takes an action that provokes an attack of opportunity while within 30 feet and line of sight of a lasereye falcon, the lasereye falcon can focus its senses on the target, ignoring any concealment the target has until the end of the falcon's following turn.


Lasereye falcons are creation of mad android druid, enhanced with a biocybernetic enhancement that allows them to fire beams of focused light from their eyes and is passed to their offspring.

While they can be tamed, they are quite unruly and defiant, and may scorch their handlers when ruffled in the wrong way. They also tend to be picky about their diet, having strong preference for half scorched meats.

Greater Lasereye Falcons (CR 4) have advanced template and multi-frequency laser eyes ability, dealing 4d6 points of damage, and capable of switching between a laser beam that passes through force fields and ignores invisible creatures, and a laser beam that is stopped by force fields and harms invisible creatures. Their opportunity mark ability tracks an enemy for three rounds after an action that provokes attacks of opportunity was taken.
