Bestiary 3 "Elusive" Definition

So, in the Bestiary 3 all Asura have the Elusive aura, but I can't seem to find where the aura is defined. Now, the Tripurasura defines Elusive, but only in the context of the effects on itself, and it does not have the Elusive aura, unlike its other Asura brethren.
Now, I can extrapolate on what the aura does given the one-sentence mention of the Asura's elusive quality in the summary on Asura, but I'd rather not get the rules wrong.
As near as I understand it, Elusive is like a nondetection spell as if cast by another person (CL = HD), and that this protection extends to everything in the aura. Is this a correct interpretation?

Here is my reasoning:
The Tripurasura's Elusive DC is 14. This is too low for its CL 6th spell-like abilities, and also too low for a personal version of nondetection (DC 15 + CL). It does, however, perfectly fit the DC for nondetection cast on someone other than the wizard, if we count the Tripurasura's HD as its Caster Level (11 + 3 = 14).

I actually forgot to check the subtype rules (whoops). Thank you.


Me too ... there is no cure for stupid apparently.
