Shade Strike (Ex) A shadewolf can anticipate the moves of its opponents as a full-round action. The next time during that round that the shadewolf is attacked, it turns momentarily incorporeal, potentially evading the attack. If this ability triggers on a melee attack, the shadewolf may use its bite against that opponent. The shadewolf may move 5 foot without provoking attacks of opportunity as part of this attack.
Unnatural Aura (Su) Animals do not willingly approach within 30 feet of a shadewolf, unless a master makes a DC 25 Handle Animal, Ride, or wild empathy check.
