Crush (ex) - This dragon can land on foes as a standard action, using its whole body to crush them. Crush attacks are effective only against opponents three or more size categories smaller than the dragon. A crush attack affects as many creatures as fit in the dragon's space. Creatures in the affected area must succeed on a Dex save or take bludgeoning damage and become grappled (level 2). Crush attacks deal damage equal to the maximum melee attack the dragon can make. Grappled targets automatically take this damage again at the beginning of their turns for as long as they remain grappled.
Vital Strike (ex) - As a standard action, the Brass Dragon (Mature Adult) can make one attack at full bonus that deals additional damage. Roll the damage from the attack twice before adding other damage bonuses. This extra weapon damage is not multiplied on a critical hit but is still added to the total.

If the target loses sight of the creature, it gets a new save each round.
