Lasso (Ex) A sky fisher is capable of spinning and casting gooey filaments that target KAC and have a range increment of 50 feet (maximum 250 feet). A target struck by one of these filaments takes the listed amount of nonlethal bludgeoning damage and gains the entangled condition for 1 minute. While entangled, the target can’t move farther from the sky fisher than where it began its turn. As a move action, a sky fisher can attempt a combat maneuver check with a +8 bonus to reposition the target, though only to move the target closer; a sky fisher can lift a Medium or smaller target into the air in this way. A creature can end the entangled condition early with a successful DC 23 Acrobatics check to escape or by dealing at least 10 fire or slashing damage to the filament, severing it (the filament has the same AC as the sky fisher). A sky fisher can detach or remove slack in a filament as a swift action and can maintain up to three filaments at a time.

This predatory intelligence makes sky fishers a major threat to Castrovelian cities, most of which employ automated defenses to scare off the creatures. Though they spend the entirety of their adult lives in the air, sky fishers lay their eggs in saltwater. Their amphibious young spend 7–8 months in the seas before clambering onto nearby rocks—losing the ability to breathe underwater—and then catching the seasonal winds to become airborne.
