### Thorns (Ex)
The body of a saguaro sentinel is covered with long, cruel thorns. These thorns tear at any creature that touches it, dealing 1d6 points of piercing damage. Creatures striking a saguaro sentinel with natural attacks or unarmed strikes are subject to this damage, but creatures striking with melee weapons are not. A creature that is pushed into or falls onto a plant also takes damage from its thorns.
### Tough Flesh (Ex)
The flesh of a saguaro sentinel is tough and retains water in the harshest of conditions. It does not take extra damage from dehydration spells and effects (including horrid wilting) as plants normally do.
