The cauthooj nimbly hops aside, redirecting the triggering [[Strike]] against the adjacent enemy. The cauthooj [[Stride|Strides]] up to half its Speed, and this movement does not trigger reactions."

    desc: "⬻ ([[mental]], [[primal]], [[sonic]]);  With subtle alterations in the pitch and tone of its song, the cauthooj directs one creature [[confused|confused]] by its Warbling Song to make a [[Strike]]. This works like other [[Strike|Strikes]] made by [[confused|confused]] creatures, except that the cauthooj chooses the target. If no target is in reach or range, or the creature is unable to [[Strike]] for any other reason, this ability has no effect."
  - name: "Warbling Song"
    desc: "⬺ ([[auditory]], [[incapacitation]], [[mental]], [[primal]]);  The cauthooj gives a strange, ululating cry that causes nearby creatures to lash out violently and without control. Each creature within a 120-foot emanation that can hear the cauthooj must attempt a DC 32 Will save to resist the effect.\n__Critical Success__ The target is unaffected and is temporarily immune for 1 minute.\n__Success__ The target is unaffected.\n__Failure__ The target is [[confused|confused]] for 1 round.\n__Critical Failure__ The target is [[confused|confused]] for 1 round and immediately attacks itself (in the normal fashion for attacking oneself while [[confused|confused]]). This [[Strike]] doesn't give the creature a flat check to recover from the confusion."
