A tayellah’s natural weapons are treated as epic for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.
Combat
Poison (Ex)
Sting, Fort save (DC 39); initial and secondary damage 2d10 temporary Con. The save DC is Constitution-based.
Pounce (Ex)
If a tayellah leaps upon a foe during the first round of combat, it can make a full attack even if it has already taken a move action.
Improved Grab (Ex)
To use this ability, the tayellah must hit with two of its claw attacks. If it gets a hold, it can rake.
Rake (Ex)
A tayellah that gets a hold can make two additional rake attacks (+44 melee) with legs it normally only uses for walking, dealing 4d6+5 points of damage each. If the tayellah pounces on an opponent, it can also rake.
