As if the normal Grizzly-Bat wasn't inexplicable enough every few years an esspecialy large and intelligent chick is hatched from a red egg. This is a Laser Grizzly-Bat. They appear as larger Grizzly-Bats except for their much larger, spike encrusted wings and their glowing red eyes. Laser Grizzly-Bats possess a rudimentary intelligence but are far more than the mere animals. They experience the range of emotions as you or I. Though their mouths cannot form words Laser Grizzly-Bats that live in civilised areas will have a basic understanding of common and one or two other languages prominent in the area.

Combat
Laser Grizzly-Bats only enter in to melee as a last resort prefering to circle in the air blasting away with it's laser eye beams. Even in melee it will attempt to use it's beam attack as much as possible. Laser Grizzly-Bats have an annoying habit of setting fire to the surrounding area in a circular pattern at the very beginning of a fight, blocking off any escape route. However Laser Grizzly-Bats function best when they are backing up a number of a normal Grizzly-Bats.

Magical beasts have darkvision with a range of 60 feet and low-light vision.

Eye Lasers (su): twin beams of concentrated red light shoot out from the Laser Grizzly-Bat's eyes and do 6d6 damage on a ranged touch attack. On a critical hit the target is permanently blinded. These lasers count as sunlight for beings that have a vulnerablility to the sun.

Society
Being larger and more intelligent than their brethren, Laser Grizzly-Bats usually acheive a form of leadership early in life. The normal disorganized flock morphs in to a tribe/pride organization with a social heirarchy determined entirely by their laser alpha. The flock will come to strongly reflect their alpha's alignment and temperment so a chaotic evil alpha's pack may attack and raid nearby settlements while a lawful good alpha's pack may defend it from invaders.

Most Laser Grizzly-Bats have a desrie to raise themselves from their animal roots and emulate the more cultured races. However often have very odd misunderstandings about the ways of the world and can easily kill those who try to correct them. Thus one Laser Grizzly-Bat might horde metal, not understanding why one ore would be worth more than another, while another might have a desire to kiss humanoids of the oppisite sex, having built up the kiss in their mind as the pinnacle of affection. Laser Grizzly-Bats have a great respect for combat oriented spell casters who they consider a sort of laser humanoid and wil either respond to them with intrest and curiosity or be sure to kill them first. Some Laser Grizzly-Bats become so enamoured of the civilised world that thye leave their Grizzly-Bat flock behind to travel within it. They can be found serving warlords and adventurers as trusty steeds and various magic users as guards or even familiars.
