Combat
Dune Prowlers are remarkable hunters, using the sands to
conceal them from their prey. They relentlessly attack with both
claws and bite. A dune prowler will usually retreat if it is suffering
more damage than its prey. When hunting in packs dune
prowlers use their reach and flanking to maximum effect.
Frightful Presence (Ex): The presence of a dune prowler can
inspire fear in its foes. Whenever a dune prowler attacks, charges,
or howls, all creatures that can see the dune prowler must make a
Will save (DC 15) or become shaken for 1d6 rounds.
Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability a dune prowler
must hit with a claw attack. It can then attempt to start a grapple
as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity.
Rend (Ex): A dune prowler that wins a grapple check after
a successful claw attack establishes a hold, latching onto the
opponent’s body and tearing the flesh. This attack automatically
deals 2d6+7 points of damage.
Tremorsense (Ex): Dune Prowlers automatically sense the
exact location of any moving object in direct contact with the
ground within 120 feet.
Skills: Dune prowlers have a +2 racial bonus to Listen
and Spot checks. *They also receive a +4 racial bonus to Hide
checks while in their native environment due to their coloration.
Further, a dune prowler can lie under the sand with only its
eyes, nostrils, and part of its hump showing, gaining a +10
cover bonus on Hide checks.

Treasure
Armor smiths can use dune prowler hides to make armor.
Armor made from dune prowler hide has no special properties
though it is prized for its rarity and typically increases the
value of the armor.
Also of note is the membrane found within the dune
prowler’s hump. Once cured it makes about a dozen excellent
waterskins worth about 5 gp each.
Finally, dune prowler eggs are considered a delicacy in some
portions of the Iron Kingdoms and sell for about 5 gp each.
Hooks
• An armor smith who desires a batch of dune prowler
hides for his business approaches the PCs. He is willing to
pay for a small expedition to the Bloodstone Marches and has
offered to share in the profits of the venture with the PCs.
• A caravan from Ternon Crag has gone missing, and the
PCs are asked to find it and return its goods. When they
come upon the abandoned caravan they find it has been ransacked
by a pack of dune prowlers. It is up to the PCs to find
any trinkets or baubles the dune prowlers have brought back
to their lairs.
