Despair (Su): The mere sight of a hunefer requires viewers to succeed at a Will saving throw (DC 48) or be paralyzed with fear for 1d4 rounds. Regardless of the outcome of the save, a subject is not again vulnerable to that hunefer's despair ability for 24 hours.

Hunefer Rot (Su): Supernatural disease - slam, Fort save (DC 35), incubation period instantaneous; damage 1d6 temporary Con. Unlike normal diseases, hunefer rot requires a victim to make a successful saving throw every round or take another 1d6 points of temporary Constitution damage. The rot continues until the victim reaches Constitution 0 (and dies) or receives a remove disease spell or similar magic.

An afflicted creature that dies shrivels away into sand unless both remove disease and raise dead (or better) are cast on the remains within 2 rounds. If the remains are not so treated, on the third round the dust swirls and forms an 18 HD mummy with the dead foe's equipment under the hunefer's command.

Resistant to Blows (Ex): Physical attacks deal only half damage to hunefers. Apply this effect before damage reduction.

Spell-Like Abilities: At will - chain lightning, displacement, haste, knock, greater dispelling, passwall, scrying, teleport without error, true seeing, unholy aura, weird; 1/day - ruin. Caster level 27th; save DC 23 + spell level.

Fire Vulnerability (Ex): A hunefer takes double damage from fire attacks unless a save is allowed for half-damage. A successful save halves the damage and a failure doubles it.
