effect: The elananx disperses into a cloud of smoke and cinders, filling its space
and a 20-foot emanation. While in this form, the elananx can't be attacked or
targeted, and it doesn't take up space. Anything inside this cloud is concealed,
and any creature ending its turn there takes 2d6 fire damage. At the start of
its turn, the elananx returns to its normal form in any square the cloud covered.
If the elananx Strikes a creature using its first action after returning to its
normal form, the target is flat-footed and the Strike deals an extra 1d6 fire
damage.

description: 'These strange, fey felines resemble large, broad bobcats from a distance,
but a closer view reveals something amiss. Their forms ripple and billow with heat,
and their eyes glow from within as if they contain tiny, flickering flames. The
pungent scent of rotting leaves smoldering in a bonfire clings to their fur. Yet
those who have the chance to watch elananxes hunt or attack prey witness the greatest
indication that these creatures are something more than mere predators, for they
act with cruel and savvy instincts, reveling in the pain they infiict.
Elananxes typically hunt alone, but sometimes these cunning and malicious hunters
of the First World roam in packs called "billows" to take down large prey. Like
many house cats, elananxes are not content to merely track and devour prey, but
prefer to toy with their victims, drawing joy and excitement from the fear and pain
of those they capture. To this end, elananxes rarely use their cinder dispersal
ability to evade their targets, instead opting to foil their quarry just before
the end of the hunt—though, as selfish creatures who wish to live to hunt again,
elananxes often reserve one use of this ability, just in case.
Because of their clever and malicious ways, elananxes are favored as hunting companions
by __redcaps__, who go out of their way to befriend or make deals with these creatures.
Redcaps also flnd great sport in hunts where competing elananxes chase a single
creature. Although they''re large enough to serve as mounts for redcaps, elananxes
despise being ridden and resist such attempts—little is as sure to cause a supposedly
friendly elananx to turn on its redcap ally than a foolhardy attempt to treat the
fey cat as a horse!
Elananxes have a strange affinity to forest fires. Because they are immune to the
damage caused by flickering flames, they enjoy capering and caterwauling through
the smoky, burning ruins of forest infernos. Some have even been known to use their
burning bites to deliberately light undergrowth on fire, simply so they might experience
the beauty of the flames combined with the inevitable pain such disasters inflict
on other creatures.
