When the creature makes a full attack with unarmed strikes or natural attacks, it can make an extra attack of the same type (of its choice) with a –5 penalty. If the creature uses unarmed strikes, it deals damage as if it were a monk of a level equal to its HD (maximum 20 HD). A creature with 10 or more HD that uses natural attacks instead increases the damage dealt by all of its natural attacks by one die step.
