Anorith is an ancient creature, thought to be extinct. They appear to be heavily-armoured insects, and are indeed related to them - from long ago. They tend to hide in dark places, tracking down Vermin, and then slash them open to eat their squishy insides. It turns out that humans also have delicious squishy insides.
Damage Reduction (Ex): Anorith has Damage Reduction equal to half its hit dice.
Harden (Ex): If Anorith takes a full defense action, its natural armor bonus improves by 4 points for three rounds. Multiple full defenses do not stack.
Metal Claw (Ex): As a Swift action, Anorith may sharpen its claws, making them even more painful. The size category improves by another category and its Constitution modifier is added as extra damage. This lasts for one full round, and in this case means it deals 1d4+2 damage.
Predatory: Anoriths remember their ancient prey who seem to have never evolved, being creations, and as such they gain a +8 racial bonus to track Vermin, as well as a +2 bonus to hit and damage them.
