Golden CactuarThis creature appears to be a small cactus made entirely out of gold, having physical characteristics similar to a humanoid: two arms, two legs and dark spots on its anterior in the shape of a mouth, moustache, 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. – Imban

SPECIAL ABILITIES

Evasion (Ex)

A golden cactuar can avoid even magical and unusual attacks with great agility. If the golden cactuar makes a successful Reflex saving throw against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save, it instead takes no damage. A helpless golden cactuar does not gain the benefit of evasion.

Resistant (Ex)

A golden cactuar is unusually resistant to everything, gaining a +5 resistance bonus to all saving throws.

Thorns (Ex)

A golden cactuar’s body is covered with sharp metal thorns. Any creature attacking a golden cactuar with a non-reach melee weapon or with natural attacks takes 1d4+4 points of piercing damage from the golden cactuar’s sharp thorns. A creature that grapples with a golden cactuar takes this same damage each round.

Three Thousand Needles (Su)

3/day, a golden cactuar may conjure up a spray of needles and fires them at targets in a 30-ft.-cone. Creatures within the area take 10d4 points of piercing damage (Reflex save DC 16 for half damage).
