Special Abilities

Devour Life (Ex) Whenever a living creature within zombie-hare space recovers hit points, the healing is halved and the zombie-hare swarm regains the same amount of hit points. Whenever zombie-hare swarm consumes eggs of Diminutive or larger creature, it heals 1 hit point per egg devoured.

Ravenous (Ex) Zombie-hare swarm inflicts 1d6 points of additional damage against creatures that are dazed, nauseated, paralyzed, prone, stunned, surprised, or unconscious. Zombie-hare swarm doesn't deal damage to creatures that aren't alive.


Zombie-hare swarms spread to roam grasslands and hills on a few spring nights, consuming whatever living creatures come in their way, especially humanoids, chickens, and sheep. Their only weakness is their rapacious appetite for eggs, which they will devour with great enthusiasm, giving other prey time to flee.
