Power Attack (ex) - A Cauchemar may choose to take a penalty to its attack roll (up to -5). For each point of penalty, the Cauchemar does one extra point of damage. The Cauchemar must decide to use power attack at the beginning of its turn and it applies to all attack made until the start of its next turn.
Improved Grappling (ex) - This creature is an expert grappler. It can use its level + strength bonus when making a grapple. This grapple check still counts as a skill check.
Attacks
- Melee (Natural) - 1 x bite +22 (2d6+10). Reach: 10 ft.
- Melee (Natural) - 2 x hooves +22 (2d6+5 plus 1d6 fire). Reach: 10 ft.
Cleave (ex) - As a standard action, the Cauchemar can make a single attack with a melee weapon at its highest attack bonus. If it hits, it deals damage normally and can make another attack against a foe adjacent to the first. The Cauchemar may continue making as many attacks as possible provided opponents are adjacent and in range. Using cleave, causes the creature to take a -2 penalty to AC until its next turn.
Fleet (Full Round)(ex) - When using a full-round action to move double its speed, the Cauchemar can also use its bonus action to run its movement in feet again.

This towering, burning equine stands upon smoking hooves. Hellfire shimmers in its hateful eyes.
The cauchemar is a more dangerous variant of the nightmare, particularly valued for its ability to enter the Ethereal Plane with its rider in addition to being able to use plane shift to invade other realities.
