SPECIAL ABILITIES
Blood Rage (Ex)
When a bashura takes damage in combat, on its next turn it can fly into a rage as a free action. It gains +2 Constitution and +2 Strength, but takes a -2 penalty to its AC. The rage lasts as long as the battle or 1 minute, whichever is shorter. It cannot end its rage voluntarily.
Raise Dukes (Su)
Once per day and below 50% hit points, a bashura can root itself in place, powering up its defenses and countering any physical attack. Using this ability, a bashura gains DR 10/- and is able to counterattack once per round, once per opponent. Also, the bashura will be unable to move but it is also immune to Bull Rush combat maneuvers. This ability lasts 1 minute. Blue mages may learn this ability as a 5th level spell (DC 25).
