Strange creatures that seem to dwell is some far plane inaccessible by conventional magic, the ethergaunts are can be encountered on any plane, but they are most common on the Elemental Chaos and the Astral Sea- and even there, they are very rare. Some adventurers who have had extensive conflict with the ethergaunts claim that they are an extremely advanced culture that abandoned the material world over 10,000 years ago- and now they are finally coming back.
Ethergaunts are strange beings, resembling 8’ tall, extraordinarily emaciated humanoids. To gaze upon the face of an ethergaunt is trying on the psyche of all but the strongest willed creatures, so ethergaunts tend to wear special bisected masks that serve to give them a somewhat humanoid face. Dozens of colorful, prehensile tendrils emerge from behind the mask like a mane of thick, fleshy hair. The faceplate resembles a featureless porcelain visage, and its color reveals the ethergaunt’s role in the creatures’ enigmatic society. Red ethergaunts serve the race as explorers and scientists; white ethergautns mangae the reds’ affairs and form the primary government of the entire society. The dreaded black ethergaunts control the entire race; fewer than one hundred blacks are thought to exist. Other colors and roles exist as well, but these are less well known.
Although the origin of ethergaunts is listed as “immortal,” this is only an approximation. They seem to have come from an earlier cosmological era, when the nature of the planes was somehow different. There may be some connection between ethergaunts and inevitables in this respect.

Belligerent, swaggering creatures that wander the plains looking to hone their fighting prowess, quaraphons often infringe upon the territory of other creatures. These intrusions almost always turn violent, for quaraphons take great joy in battle and require enormous amounts of food.
A quaraphon vaguely resembles a deep blue centaur, but its skin is covered with warty knots. Its head is unusually large, including two mouths atop one another and four eyes. The placement of the eyes and mouths of a quaraphon varies from individual to individual, with some even having them in the back or sides of their heads.

The horrors known as phantasmal slayers are literally fear incarnate. They exist only to terrify others- to death, if at all possible. They have no true form, but appear to all observers as an amalgamation of their greatest fears.

Terrifying Presence is vicious. Especially when they start their turn and have to make a save just to approach (or the stalker backs the hell up). I like the Stalkers.
Also, if you can do a couple extra Spawn of Kyuss that are between 10th and 13th level, that would be awesomeness.

These strange aberrations are terrifyingly alien and menacingly powerful. Mixing the ultimate in hideous appearance with a terrifying indifference to all non-aberrant life and a desire to collect the brains of intelligent creatures, which they use to fuel their own powers, brain collectors are extremely dangerous enemies.
Brain collectors call themselves neh-thalggu. They are known to associate with other aberrations, such as mind flayers and uvuudaum.

A penanggalan is a horrifying undead monstrosity. During daylight hours, it appears as a female humanoid of any type (most commonly human). At night, however, its head and guts detach from the rest of its body, and it becomes a ravenous, bloodthirsty monster. It prefers to attack children and pregnant women, and always prefers sleeping or helpless prey.
Before dawn, a penanggalan must soak its viscera in vinegar for at least twenty minutes in order to reduce their swelling and bloating enough for them to fit back inside the rest of her body.
Penanggalan prefer to operate by deceit, and often try to insinuate themselves into groups of people during the day in order to choose a victim. They always leave before dusk, so as to conceal the moment of their transformation and their true nature.
