Vampiric Aura (Su): Any living being within 30 ft. of a malyx at the end of it's turn receives 1d3 points of permanent constitution drain. The malyx heals 5 hp for every point of Con drained from an opponent. There is no save against the aura although a death ward will prevent the drain.

Unholy Tail (Ex): A malyx has a powerful tail, drastically oversized for it's body. It has a reach of 30 ft. and attacks from it are treated as if from a huge creature (giving it a +16 Strength bonus, and a +8 bonus to grappling and trip attacks). Any creature struck by a malyx's unholy tail attack must make a Fort save (DC 27) or be stunned for 1 round. The save DC is strength based.
