Special Abilities

Ink Spray (Ex) A squiddog can spray ink in a 30-ft. long cone-shaped burst once every 1d4+1 rounds as a standard action, blinding exposed creatures that fail their Reflex saving throw (DC 16) for 1d4+1 rounds. The saving throw DC is Wisdom-based.

Squiddogs are strange cephalopods that occasionally emerge from warm coastal waters and underground lakes in search of food and entertainment.
