Special Abilities

Flowing Mist (Su) Ghost buffalos dissolve into mists when they move, flowing across and around their enemy spaces without provoking attacks of opportunity. They can occupy the same space as other creatures, including enemies. When ghostly buffalos don't share their space with any corporeal creatures, they gain total concealment against attacks.

Mist Sight (Su) Ghost buffalos see through natural and magical fog, mist, and other weather effects without hindrance.

Spectral Stampede (Su) Ghost buffalos deal 20d6 points damage to all creatures within their space at the end of the buffalos' turn and knock corporeal enemies of Large or smaller size prone. A successful Will saving throw (DC 27) halves the damage and negates being knocked prone. The saving throw DC is Charisma-based. Casting spells (or similar actions that require intense concentration) while within ghost buffalos' space requires making a concentration check (DC 20+twice the spell level).

Ghost buffalos are spectral vestiges of great herds of aurochs, bison, cattle or other similar beasts. They haunt their old pastures, often scaring farmers and hunters away. They are rarely aggressive, only attacking those who hunted their kin in the past or are despoiling their habitat, though they might hurt those who come too close, disrupting local agriculture or animal husbandry.
