Built like a small badger, this creature has black fur with white stripes running from its face to its fluffy tail, which is raised in warning. Skunks are omnivorous, eating both plant and animal material and changing their diet as the seasons change. They particularly enjoy eating insects.

Combat
A skunk can spray a stream of noxious musk at a single target.

Musk (Ex): 10 foot range, +4 ranged touch attack. On a successful touch attack, the target must make a DC 14 Fortitude save or be nauseated for 1d4 rounds. This ability can be used once per day.

Skunks as Familiars
Skunks can serve as familiars for characters eligible to obtain familiars including arcane engineers, hexblades, mind weavers, shadowsworn, sorcerers, and wizards. Arcane casters with skunk familiars gain immunity to the musk attack of all skunk attacks.
