Foo-Inu

Leonine-headed spiritfolk which have an affinity with stone and a predisposition for protection.

Racial Traits

• Humanoid (Anthro, Spiritfolk): They are leonine humanoids with strong ties with magical creatures know as komainu. 
• Medium: As a Medium creature, a foo-inu has no special bonuses or penalties due to its size.
• Foo-Inu base land speed is 30 feet.  
• Low-Light Vision: A foo-inu can see twice as far as a human in starlight, moonlight, torchlight, and similar conditions of poor illumination. She retains the ability to distinguish color and detail under these conditions. 
• Defender: Foo-Inus gain the Intervene feat for free. It also gains a +2 racial bonus to Listen, Sense Motive and Spot checks. 
• Mystic Guardian (Su): Once per day, as a move action, the may replicate the effects of any protection spell, using their HD as caster level. 
• Statue Form (Ex): Foo-Inus may use a swift or immediate action to harden themselves into a statue form. They become similar to lion-dogs in a sitting pose. This effect is similar to the statue spell and the statue has the hp of the Foo-Inu and hardness equal to three times its HD. They perceive what happens to the statue and the flowing of time and may decide to come back in flesh within a minute, or as a full round action, if they accept to suffer non-lehtal damage equal to three times their HD. The same effect takes place whenever they sleep or fall unconscious, except that they may transform back only under conditions that would allow them to regain consciousness or wake up (such as sleeping for 8 hours). They still need to transform back in flesh form in the same ways presented above. If they take the Petrified in Death feat (they automatically qualify for it), the stone form they assume on death has the same statistics presented here. 
• Natural Armor (Ex): Foo-Inus have a +2 natural armor bonus to their AC.
• Automatic Languages: Common, Celestial
• Bonus Languages: Any
• Favored Class: Fighter
• Level Adjustment: +0
• Effective Character Level: 1
