Druid companion list: 7th (−6)
Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, a lion must hit with its bite attack. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. If it wins the grapple check, it establishes a hold and can rake.
Pounce (Ex): If a lion charges a foe, it can make a full attack, including two rake attacks.
Rake (Ex): Attack bonus +7 melee, damage 1d4+2.
Companion note: A 1st-level druid’s companion is completely typical for its kind. As the druid advances, the companion gains bonus HD, natural armor, Str/Dex, tricks, and special abilities per the Druid animal companion table. Alternative-list animals use the level adjustment in parentheses when determining those powers.
The statistics presented here describe a male African lion, which is 5 to 8 feet long and weighs 330 to 550 pounds.
