Mongrels play on people's perceptions of their cuteness. They look like squat pigs whose bellies slide on the ground when they walk. However, this is all a charade to cover up what they really are. Their tongues, which they never show to any but those they kill, look like a skinless vulture head on a long stalk.
Combat
Mongrels never enter normal combat; they prefer to sneak attack the opponents caught off guard by their true nature.
Sneak Attack (Su): Deals +2d6 points of damage against foes who are flat-footed, flanked or denied their Dex bonus.
Cute Posture (Ex): Foes are taken by a Mongrel's cute looks. Each makes a Sense motive check against the creatures Bluff check. Those who lose are certain it is harmless and try to help it. The first attack made by a Mongrel in this time treats the opponent as flat-footed.
Extra-Terrain Qualities (Ex): Mongrels can survive 1 hour out of their own atmosphere for every point of Con bonus (1 hour minimum).
Ecology
Mongrels are the first unsuccessful attempts by the alien organisms to create and oxygen-tolerant creature.
