Special Abilities

Aura Of Radiation (Ex) Atomic moose emit deadly ionizing radiation, being surrounded by zone of medium radiation (save Fort DC 17; initial effect 1d4 Con drain, secondary effect 1d4 Str damage per day) extending to 20 feet, and light radiation (save Fort DC 13; initial effect 1 Con drain, secondary effect 1 Str damage per day) extending between 20 and 40 feet. Radiation counts as a poison effect.

Sense Radiation (Ex) Atomic moose can detect presence of radiation within 100 feet, preferring to stay within while resting or fleeing predators.

Atomic moose are lineages of moose that lived in zones contaminated with deadly radiation —by ancient wars and catastrophes — and adapted to thrive within. They are stronger and more durable than their mundane kin, but their main threat is the deadly emanation that can slowly, but surely kill predators and hunters who come too close to those beasts.
