The affected creature must succeed at a DC 20 Fortitude save or be transformed into a jackal. This effect cannot be dispelled, but remove curse or break enchantment can end the effect. This ability otherwise functions as baleful polymorph. ### Dominate Animal (Su) Jackal lords can use dominate animal (canines only) at will as if they were 16th level clerics. #### ecology **Terrain** Any desert and underground **Organization** Solitary **Treasure** Double **Advancement** By character class Jackal lords are mysterious creatures that serve dark andsinister gods.
