Return to White Plume Mountain monsters?

Arnwyn · Jul 11, 2006

Does anyone know if the monsters from 2e Return to White Plume Mountain have been converted to d20, anywhere?

There are a bunch of non-standard/new monsters in there, and it looks like only a few have ever been converted (eg. bog mummy - ToH, giant slug - ToH, kelp devil - ToH, meenlock - MM2, myconid - MM2, phycomid - ToH, and Remnant - Towers of High Sorcery).

But there are a whole lot of what look to be new monsters - at least, ones I've never heard of:
Bloodwight, bog golem, burning golem, fungus hulk, mold wyrm, mud mummy, skin puppet, and vampire moss.

Anyone know if some conversions exist?

Bloodwight and fungus hulk are also in ToH.

I swear I've seen a 3E skin puppet somewhere, but can't place it right now.

What, really? I know the "blood wight" is in ToH3 - but it's a different creature. The fungus hulk is definitely not in the ToH.

But wait! Now that you mention it, both of those are in the Creature Catalog. Cool.

My google-fu is bad...

Oops! I was going by the OGL information I found online, not the actual book.

Yeah, there too!

Apparenlty mine is today as well. :heh:

Well, all-in-all, not bad. I just saw that the Vampire Moss was originally introduced in Dungeon #41, so I know I've converted that already.

Five unconverted, I guess - not too daunting for now.

hmm, i thought we had done the vampire moss, but i guess not!

I thought I read somewhere that the true ghoul and elevated ghoul were the same. If that's true, then the true ghoul appeared in Dungeon #129.

EL-UH-VA-TION!

Echohawk · Jul 12, 2006

Based on the description on page 28 of RtWPM and p62 of Dungeon #129, I don't think they are the same thing. An elevated ghoul seems to basically be a ghoul with an amulet of repudation so it can't be turned.

Dungeon #129 says "True ghouls (also called shadow ghouls or greater ghouls) are much more human than common ghouls and ghasts. [...] These creatures originally appeared in Dragon #252, and were featured in Dungeon #70's "Kingdom of Ghouls" adventure."

Maybe the shadow/greater ghoul reference was what you were thinking of Shade?

Shade · Jul 12, 2006

Most likely. They definitely sound like different creatures than true ghouls.
