Combat
Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, a giant space hamster must hit with its bite attack. If it succeeds, it may start a grapple as a free action, without provoking an attack of opportunity.
Cheek Pouch (Ex): By making a successful grapple check against an opponent at least one size category smaller than itself, a giant space hamster can stuff the opponent in its cheek pouch. A trapped opponent can escape by succeeding at an opposed grapple check or by dealing 5 points of damage to the hamster’s cheek, which has AC 12. A trapped opponent can only attack with a small or smaller slashing or piercing weapon, and then only if it was in hand when the opponent was stuffed in the cheek pouch. Opponents trapped in the cheek pouch do not take any damage while trapped. If they win the opposed grapple check or deal 5 damage to the cheek, they are spat out. In this case, the opponent is prone in a square adjacent to the Giant Space Hamster, and covered in saliva.
A Giant Space Hamster may also spit out a held opponent if offered food.
Immune to Disease (Ex): Giant space hamsters are immune to all diseases.
Skills: Giant space hamsters have a +2 racial bonus on Climb and Survival checks.
Giant space hamsters receive the Endurance feat for free.

Flavor text
These huge Giant Space Hamsters are very skittish. They will not attack other creatures, even if attacked themselves. Their only defense is their huge size and giant paws, with which they sometimes trample creatures in their attempts to flee whatever has most recently frightened them. Any display of magic, fire, bright light, loud noise, etc is sufficient to frighten a tyrannohamsterus rex, causing it to flee from the source at maximum speed. These Giant Space Hamsters usually flee for 1d4 miles before they calm down.
Combat
Trample (Ex): Those in the path of a fleeing tyrannohamsterus rex would do well to get out of the way. Any creature of large size or smaller is apt to be trampled by the Giant Space Hamster, suffering 1d8+12 points of bludgeoning damage. Creatures may choose to make attacks of opportunity on the fleeing Giant Space Hamster, at a –4 penalty. Those who choose not to make attacks of opportunity may attempt a Reflex save (DC 23) for half damage. The save DC is Strength-based.
