Mome Rath

(Stolen from Zak Sabbath, like so many things; Pathfinder conversion and in-world background by me)

This ill-tempered beast's tiny, bloodshot eyes glare angrily above a mouth filled with sharp tusks. It resembles a wild pig, possessing the curved tusks and rich hairless green skin of Satan as depicted in Michael Pacher's Wolfgang und der Teufel.

 SPECIAL ABILITIES
Ferocity (Ex)A creature with ferocity remains conscious and can continue fighting even if its hit point total is below 0. The creature is still staggeredand loses 1 hit point each round. The creature still dies when its hit point total reaches a negative amount equal to its Constitutionscore.
Feeding on Failure (Su)
Mome raths feed on failure. Any missed attack on a mome rath adds d4 to its hit points (these are permanent, not temporary). Rolling a critical failure when attacking a mome rath causes the mome rath to grow an extra set of tusks. giving the mome rath an extra attack per round for the rest of the encounter (use the same statistics as the gore attack, but these extra attacks are secondary attacks and so are at a +0 attack bonus).
ECOLOGY
Environment temperate or tropical forests
Organization solitary, pair, or group (3–8)
Treasure none

Mome raths bellow at the coming of danger and gnaw the bones of the dead in the fields where bodies lay burning.

Even more ill-tempered and dangerous than the boars they resemble, mome raths are omnivorous creatures common to the coast of the Two Kingdoms.

The mome rath's stubborn nature and habit of eating the failure of its enemies to make itself grow stronger makes it well suited as a warpet for certain folk, such as the ghostly Pharaoh of the Two Kingdoms.

A mome rath is four feet long and weighs 200 pounds.
