This creature appears to be a small cactus having physical characteristics similar to a humanoid: two arms, two legs and dark spots on its anterior in the shape of a mouth and eyes. Its limbs protrude and bend at ninety-degree angles giving it a rigid look, which belies the speed and agility with which it can move.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Evasion (Ex)
The cactuar can avoid even magical and unusual attacks with great agility. If the cactuar makes a successful Reflex saving throw against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save, she instead takes no damage. A helpless cactuar does not gain the benefit of evasion.
Thorns (Ex)
A cactuar’s body is covered with sharp wooden thorns. Any creature attacking a cactuar with a non-reach melee weapon or with natural attacks takes 1d4+2 points of piercing damage from the cactuar’s sharp thorns. A creature that grapples with a cactuar takes this same damage each round.
Thousand Needles (Su)
3/day, a cactuar conjure up a spray of needles and fires them at targets in a 30-ft.-cone. Creatures within the area take 8d4 points of piercing damage (Reflex save DC 14 for half damage). Blue mages may learn this ability as a 3rd level spell (Knowledge: Nature DC 21).
