Gibtanius

When a gibtas feeds regularly but never receives sufficient food to procreate, it grows into a mighty gibtanius. They become surly, uncontrolled predators, forsaking their bonded masters to satiate their unending hunger.

Powerful Stench (aura, olfactory) 20 feet. A creature that enters the aura must succeed at a DC 26 Fortitude save. On a failure, the creature is sickened 2; on a critical failure, the creature is also slowed 1 for as long as it is sickened. A creature that succeeds at its save is temporarily immune for 1 minute.

The gibtanius Leaps and can end this Leap occupying the same space as other creatures. It deals 5d6 bludgeoning damage to each creature in the space it Leaps to (DC 26 basic Reflex save), then Shoves each of those creatures. If it fails to Shove any creature out of its space, it bounces to the closest available space of its choosing that does not contain any creatures. Bouncing Crush counts as one attack when determining the gibtanius's multiple attack penalty.Breath Weapon Two Actions

(acid, evocation, primal) The gibtanius vomits a stream of acid that deals 9d6 acid damage to all creatures in a 60-foot line (DC 26 basic Reflex save). It can't use Breath Weapon again for 1d4 rounds.

Gibtas

Source Pathfinder #164: Hands of the Devil pg. 80
This rubbery, spheroid scavenger is nearly all acid-dripping mouth, with five bulbous black eyes and two powerful, gangly legs. A gibtas often forms a bond with a single other creature—usually, a more powerful aberration— and serves this master loyally, if erratically. Creatures who keep a gibtas as a pet or guard soon learn to keep it away from any important possessions they don't want spattered with acid.

Gibtas Companions

A gibtas can make for an unusual animal companion, with the GM's permission. Use the statistics for a bear animal companion, except the companion has the rare trait, is an aberration rather than an animal, has darkvision rather than low-light vision, and gains the gibtas bounder's Bouncing Slam as an advanced maneuver instead of Bear Hug.

Wild Gibtases

In the wild, gibtases are scavenger creatures, avoiding much larger and more powerful predators while feeding off abandoned scraps. This limits their consumption-based reproduction. By spawning hundreds of offspring at once during times of plentiful food, they ensure the propagation of their species only during times of plenty.
