#### special abilities
### Antimagic Cone (Su)
A gouger's central eye continually produces a 150-foot cone of antimagic. It can set the area of effect once per round as a free action, or it can choose to deactivate this ability by closing its central eye. This ability otherwise functions as antimatic field. ~~ Limited Range (Ex): A gouger's bite attack only threatens creatures both within its reach and within the area of effect of its antimagic cone.
### Augmented Critical (Ex)
The gouger's tongue attack threatens a critical hit on a 19-20 and deals ×3 damage on a critical hit.
### Eye Gouge (Ex)
When the gouger's tongue attack hits another beholder or beholderkin whose eyes have special abilities, that beholder must succeed at a DC Reflex save or lose the use of one of its eyes for the next 2d6 rounds. If the result of the 2d6 roll is 12, the loss is permanent. There is a 50% chance that the tongue hits the central eye. If not, randomly determine which lesser eye is struck. The eye gouge ability can strike the same eye more than once, in which case the loss of the eye is cumulative.
