Dreadful Eye (Su): Three times per day a marzanna can cast her dire gaze upon any single creature within 30 feet. The target must succeed on a DC 15 Will save or become panicked for 10 rounds. Creatures that are panicked by a marzanna's dreadful eye must succeed on a DC 15 Fortitude save or die from fright. This is a mind-affecting fear effect. The save DC is Charisma-based.

Rend (Ex): A marzanna that hits with both claw attacks latches onto the opponents body and tears the flesh. This attack automatically deals an extra 2d6+7 points of damage.

Spell-Like Abilities: At will - dancing lights, ghost sound (DC 11), obscuring snow, pass without trace, ray of frost (+9 ranged touch); 3/day - disquise self, bestow curse (+13 melee touch; DC 15), numbing sphere (DC 13), and wall of ice (DC 15); 1/day - ice storm; 1/week - control weather, nightmare (DC 16). Caster level 8th.

A marzanna prefers not to fight if she can convince others to give up without a fight, or if she can convince others to do her fighting for her.

Cold Subtype

A creature with the cold subtype has immunity to cold. It has vulnerability to fire, which means it takes half again as much (+50%) damage as normal from fire, regardless of whether a saving throw is allowed, or if the save is a success or failure.
