Special Abilities


Thunder-Bite (Su) A thunderwolf's bite strikes with the promise of thunder, dealing additional 3d6 points of sonic damage and causing deafness for 1 round.

Thunder-Howl (Su) A thunderwolf can issue a thunderous roar as a standard action. All creatures within 30 feet suffer 6d6 points of sonic damage, become deafened for 1 minute, and staggered for 1 round. A successful Fortitude saving throw (DC 17) halves the damage, negates staggered condition, and reduces deafness duration to 1 round. A thunderwolf can howl once every 1d4+1 rounds. Thunderwolves are immune to thunder-howls of their pack-mates. The saving throw DC is Constitution-based.

Savage Tracker (Ex) Thunderwolves can use their Perception skill to follow tracks, and they gain Endurance as a bonus feat.


Thunderwolves are massive, wolf-like predators that roar carries the might of thunders. Not terribly subtle predators, they usually hunt in packs, trying to surround their prey and harry it toward each other with their thunder-howls, often chasing particularly tenacious game for hours or days.
