**SPECIAL ABILITIES**

**Death Throes (Su)**
When a dark stalker is slain, its body combusts in a flash of white-hot flame. This acts like a fireball that deals 3d6 points of fire damage to all creatures within a 20-foot-radius burst. A DC 15 Reflex save halves this damage. A dark stalker's gear and treasure are unaffected by this explosion. This save is Constitution-based.

**Poison Use (Ex)**
Dark stalkers are skilled in the use of poison and never risk accidentally poisoning themselves. Like their diminutive kin, the dark creepers, dark stalkers use black poison on their weapons and generally carry six doses on them.
Black Smear—injury; save Fort DC 15; frequency 1/round for 6 rounds; effect 1d2 Str; cure 1 save. The poison DC is Constitution-based.

**See in Darkness (Su)**
A dark stalker can see perfectly in darkness of any kind, including that created by deeper darkness.

**Hide in Plain Sight (Su)**
A Darkstalker can use the Stealth skill even while being observed. As long as it is within 10 feet of an area of dim light, a Darkstalker can hide it's self from view in the open without anything to actually hide behind. It cannot, however, hide in it's own shadow

**Ghost Touch (Su)**
A Darkstalker grants the Ghost Touch enchantment to any weapon it touches so long as it stays in it's possession. This is granted even if the weapon doesn't have a +1 bonus already and does not grant the weapon a +1 bonus.

**Evilities**
