(lightvisual)
The tashtari alpha causes their filaments to glow with intense light. Non-tashtari creatures within a 40-foot emanation must attempt a DC 21 Fortitude save. A creature that attempts this save is immune to all Bristle Flashes for 1 minute. The tashtari alpha's fur then dims, and they can't use this ability until they bask in sunlight for at least 10 minutes.
Solar Cry
[two-actions]
(fire)
The tashtari alpha unleashes a searing, rainbow muzzle beam that soars into the sky before splitting into countless rays of multicolored light that crash down in every direction. Each non-tashtari creature in a 20- foot emanation takes 4d6 fire damage (DC 19 basic Reflex save). On a critical failure, a creature that can see the tashtari alpha is also dazzled for 1 minute. Other tashtaris in the area recharge their Bristle Flash. The tashtari alpha's glowing heart dims, and they can't use this ability until they bask in sunlight for at least 1 hour.

Laser Wolf
Native to the green world of Castrovel, the tashtari has become known throughout the wider galaxy as the laser wolf. Wolflike pack hunters, tashtaris have a layer of flexible filaments that emit phosphorescent lights and allow them to silently communicate through a bespoke visual language. Each tashtari possesses a node within their throat that allows them to channel their stored solar energy and unleash a beam of focused light, giving them their moniker of laser wolves. A mating pair, consisting of one or two alphas, leads packs of tashtaris, who generally become the apex predators of large areas with one or more forested regions. The presence of trees is important for the nocturnal tashtaris, who sleep on the treetops during the day to bask in sunlight and recharge their solar energies.
