10 more creatures added to the CC

Shrek the Halls and Troll the Yuletide Carols!

This week, we stuff your stockings with six new trolls and a quartet of ogrish creatures.

Representing trollkind are the hill-dwelling bjerg-trolde and ragnhilder, the woodsy skovtrolde, the hardy stone troll, the arctic-terrorizing snow troll, and the dreaded gray troll.

Ogrekind offers up the blood-frenzy prone stonecrown ogre, the hybrid horag, the massive ogre giant, and the vile, aberrant ogre slug.

Yeah, some of those are so old I barely remember the conversion process.

I'm going to try to get another batch uploaded tomorrow. Since I couldn't find the time to upload anything last month, I figured I'd do double weekly batches this month.

Here's today's update...

Nothing but (Dragon)net!
Well, not exactly. In addition to the six dragonets (blue, common, crow's-nest, geyser, mole, and pavilion), we've got the lizardlike, extraplanar botswanna golgalarka, the Nessie-like pythosaurus, and two true "mixed bags", the fierce dingonek and the near-unkillable questing beast.

I saved the other "oldies" for later themed batches (elementals and epic, specifically).

I like this batch! The dragonnets are a lot of fun, and I really like just saying "botswanna golgalarka" to myself.

Not-so-figgy Pudding, Calling Birds, and a Giant Partridge in an Evil tree

And the bad holiday puns continue!

Along with the giant partridge and the evil tree (the lyrannikin, or "black treant"), come several birds (kookaburra and utoyasukata).

The not-so figgy puddings include the deadly and marble puddings, and their cousin, the living pool.

We've also got the cute koala and its not-so-friendly relative, the drop bear.

Rounding out the batch is the slithering Christmas lights known as the light worm.

Hmm, should compare our drop bear to the one KQ had recently.

These little updates always make me happy.

Don't get trampled in the holiday rush

...especially by these guys.

10 more dinosaurs enter the Creature Catalogue! This batch includes the titanic brachiosaurus, camarasaurus, and cetiosaurus, as well as the stampeding camptosaurus, the tripping coelophysis, the spiky dacenturus, the venomous dilophosaurus, the moving maelstrom dinicthys, the swift euparkeria, and the trampling iguanodon.

Auld Lang Syne

As 2008 fades into history, here are a batch of creatures that long ago did the same.

The ambelodon and anancus are precursors to the elephant, lesser-known than the mighty mammoth and mastodons.

The labrynthodonts (or more accurately, temnospondyli) are prehistoric amphibians. From the tiny cacops, the larger eryops, and the massive mastodonsaurus and paracyclotosaurus, to the odd-shaped dplocaulus and platyhystrix, these ancient amphibians would fit in nicely into a "Lost World" campaign.

The Dead of Winter

Ten more undead rise from their graves, including the martial blood warriors, the deadly elevated ghoul, and the icy mummy, which exemplifies this batch's title. We've also got the lesser and greater ghuls and their kin, the soultaker and witherer, as well as the ghul mage. A couple of templates round out the batch: the mysterious elven wyrds and the enhanced bole-undead.

Elementary, my dear Watson

The elementals of chaos include the eolian (Air), pyrophor (fire), erdeen (earth), and undine (Water).

The elementals of law include the anemo (Air), helion (fire), kryst (earth), and hydrax (Water).

Additionally, we have the tiny Tim gingwatzim, and the crystal spider.

Super!

As the Super Bowl approaches, the Creature Catalog celebrates with a batch of unique or high-powered creatures.

The offense is provided by the riot-invoking Bauhei the Black Leopard, the ichor-dripping Duke Nergal, the flame-throwing feng huang, the ship-smashing sea titan, and the troop-corrupting Kazgaroth.

The stout defense is provided by the soul-biting A'azzatz, the shape-shifting Jakar, the matter-dissolving star leviathan, and the flying electrical storm known as the Thunder Bird.

Halftime entertainment is provided by Santa Claus, fresh off his post-holiday rest.

Nergal certainly is pretty offensive!

Some of those have been waiting a really long time...

Huh... Kazgaroth is great and all, but something is missing about it: where's the Blood Warrior template which is used for its troop transformation ability ?

Really ?

*goes check the CC*

Well, what do you know, it was already added, eh eh.

Huh... may I suggest to create a link from "blood warrior" to its corresponding stat page, so we don't have to search in order to get them ?

Thanks !

...and if it works the way you wish, perhaps you could do the same for other references in the Catalogue, like the various vampire templates.
