[RPG] Do humanoids have natural attacks

natural-weaponpathfinder-1eunarmed-combat

This Trait allows anyone to bite as secondary attack for 1d2 damage. The Universal Monster Rules say "most creatures possess one or more natural attacks". Toothy half-orcs have tusks like orcs and can bite with them as primary attack for 1d4 damage. Orcs racial description includes them having tusks but a bite attack isn't mentioned. Still as half-orcs wouldn't get that from their human side I assume orcs can bite despite it not being mentioned anywhere? What about other humanoids?

Do humanoids without any traits or alternate racial features or other source of additional natural attacks have any natural attacks? And if so does the following apply?

"[…]if a creature has only one natural attack, it is always made
using the creature’s full base attack bonus and adds 1-1/2 times the
creature’s Strength bonus on damage rolls. This increase does not
apply if the creature has multiple attacks but only takes one. If a
creature has only one type of attack, but has multiple attacks per
round, that attack is treated as a primary attack, regardless of its
type."

How would you treat a strong elven fighter in a grapple saying he want to bite the opponent's nose?

Best Answer

Humanoids don't necessarily have natural attacks.

Bestiary, page 302

Some fey, humanoids, monstrous humanoids, and outsiders do not possess natural attacks. These creatures can make unarmed strikes, but treat them as weapons for the purpose of determining attack bonuses, and they must use the two-weapon fighting rules when making attacks with both hands.
