Mammoth Spirit

The shaman's spirit animal appears more primal and prehistoric than an ordinary animal of its kind. It gains a +2 inherent bonus to its Strength score. The spirit animal loses this bonus when it manifests as a megafauna companion from the true spirit ability.

A shaman who chooses the mammoth spirit as her spirit or wandering spirit gains the following ability. Powerful Smash (Ex) As a standard action, the shaman can attack an enemy with an unarmed strike as if she had the Improved Unarmed Strike feat. If the shaman hits a creature in this way, that creature must succeed at a Fortitude save (DC = 10 + half the shaman's class level + her Charisma modifier) or be dazed for 1 round. The shaman can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + her Charisma modifier.

A shaman who selects the mammoth spirit using her greater spirit or greater wandering spirit class feature gains the following special ability. Strength of the Beast (Ex) The shaman gains a +2 enhancement bonus to her Strength score. This bonus increases by 2 every 6 shaman levels thereafter (at 14th and 20th levels for her spirit, and at 18th level for her wandering spirit).

A shaman who selects the mammoth spirit using her true spirit class feature or true wandering spirit class feature gains the following special ability. Megafauna Companion (Su) The shaman's spirit animal transforms into a megafauna animal companion, using the shaman's shaman level as her effective druid level. The shaman must choose an arsinoitherium, baluchitherium, brontotherium, chalicotherium, deinotherium, elasmotherium, glyptodon, mastodon, megaloceros, megatherium, uintatherium, or another mammalian megafauna (including most dire animals) that has animal companion statistics. It retains its Intelligence score and the special abilities it gains from the spirit animal class feature, but it also has the statistics and abilities of an animal companion. If the animal companion is dismissed, lost, or dies, it can be replaced in the same way as a normal spirit animal.

At 20th level, the shaman can transform into any animal listed under the megafauna or elephant heading. This ability works as per beast shape IV , but the shaman can activate and dismiss the ability as often as she likes and the duration is permanent.
