Bane Creature

Creatures exposed to the unique green-hued hellfire of a certain region of Hell will sometimes be forever transformed by their exposure. The hellfire infuses their body causing them to glow with a green flame and become unstable and volatile as it crackles and shifts ready to explode at any moment. 
Often the creature will have bane affixed to it's name either in front of or replacing the first part of it's name. For example a Hell Hound would be called a Bane Hound, a Bugbear a Banebear, or a Skeleton a Bane Skeleton. 
 
== Bane Creature ==
“Bane Creature” is an acquired template that can be added to any corporeal creature. A bane creature uses all the base creature’s statistics and special abilities except as noted here. 
Attacks: Loose all attacks. 
Special Attacks: A bane creature gains the following.
=== Kamikaze (Ex) ===
In lieu of normal attacks bane creatures can explode, killing themselves in a fiery explosion. This can be done either as a standard action, or during a charge in place of the attack. The explosion has the same effects as the spell Hellfire. CL equals the creature’s HD (or the CL of the base creature’s spell-like abilities, whichever is higher).
=== Volatile (Ex) ===
Bane creatures are by nature unstable. If a bane creature is hit with a critical hit it immediately explodes as it's kamikaze ability.
