Voretooth (CR 6)
Close cousin of the sabertusk. Similar to its relative, the voretooth hunts in packs and ravages crops around Duscae. Unlike the sabertusk, however, this predator developed a venom gland in its tail through evolution, which allows it to fell foes much larger than itself.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Pounce (Ex)
A voretooth can make a full attack when it makes a charge attack.
Powerful Charge (Ex)
A voretooth, when it makes a charge attack, he also deals double damage with his gore attack and gains a free action to do a trip combat maneuver. On a failed combat maneuver check, the voretooth is not tripped in return. This ability works only on creatures of a size equal to or smaller than the voretooth.
Poison (Ex)
Sting — injury; save Fort DC 18; frequency 1/round for 4 rounds; effect 1d6 non-elemental damage; cure 1 save.
Throat-Rip (Ex)
As a full-round action, a voretooth can deliver a coup de grace against a helpless opponent. If the victim survives the attack, he must succeed on a Fortitude save (DC 10 + damage dealt) or dies. Opponents killed in this manner cannot be raised, but Arise, Full-Life, or the like can restore the slain creature to life.
