Bad Breath(Su)
4/day, a great malboro can emit a 30-ft.-cone of foul gas. All creatures caught within the cone are affected by the following status effects for 1d4 rounds each: Berserk(Will save DC 18 to negate), Blind(Fortitude save DC 18 to negate), Confuse(Will save DC 18 to negate), Silence(Fortitude save DC 18 to negate), Poison(Fortitude save DC 18 to negate), and Slow(Fortitude save DC 18 to negate). The great malboro must wait 1d4 rounds to use this ability again. Blue mage may learn this ability as a 5th level spell(DC 25).

Camouflage(Ex)
Because a great malboro blends in with the foliage that is its natural habitat, a DC 20 Perception check(modified for distance) is required to notice it before it attacks for the first time. Any creature with ranks in Survival or Knowledge(nature) can use either of those skills(also modified for distance) instead of Perception to notice the plant.

Feed(Ex)
When a great malboro grapples a creature with its tendrils, it begins to drain the creature's bodily fluids through the target's pores or other body orifices with its tendrils. This feeding deals 1d8 points of damage and 1 point of Strength damage to the target. If the vine tendril is severed or the target breaks the grapple, this feeding ceases until a new grapple is established.

Vine Tendrils(Ex)
A great malboro can take control of any network of vines it has attached itself to and use up to four of those vines as weapons to strike out at targets up to 100 feet away. The vine tendrils have 15 hit points, DR 5/slashing, and a Break DC of 21. If one of these vines is destroyed, the great malboro can assume control of another vine as a move action to bring it to bear in combat.

Malboro
A large black-and-green-patterned plant, with countless rows of dripping teeth. Hundreds of thick twitching tentacles cascade from its base.
