ENVELOPER
An enveloper is a strange creature that is nearly formless in its natural state. It wraps its dough-like body around that of its victim, and then crushes it to death and consumes the remnants. An enveloper learns the knowledge of its victims and gains access to their memories. In addition, envelopers sometimes gain access to crude mirrors of their victims’ powers and abilities.

Thank god, Jester, I was afraid you fell off the planet!
Nope, just been busy.
Gulgar is in progress right now, but I don't know exactly when I'll have time to finish it... maybe tonight, but I remain very busy.

GULGAR
Gulgars are strange, grey-skinned humanoids with rhinoceros-like ears set high on its head and small black eyes set deep in its head. Where a man might have a beard, a gulgar has a thick crystalline horn that projects from its chin, and its shoulders, knees, knuckles and forehead also sport crystal growths. Its hands have two thick, powerful fingers and a thumb.
Migrants to the world from the Elemental Chaos, gulgars seem to outsiders to be dour and laconic. However, they are actually boisterous and full of vigor. Their speech is inaudible to most beings, though dwarves can sometimes hear a low thrumming sound emanating from a gulgar.
As a gulgar grows older, it lightens (if female) or darkens (if male). Very old gulgars are white or black. The crystalline bone that protrudes from them yellows and becomes cloudy with age, eventually becoming opaque.

DEODANTH
Deodanths are strange, silver-skinned creatures with a strange, elfin look to their features and wicked barbed spurs on the backs of their hands. They claim to be vampiric elves from the future, but not all of their claims hold up to scrutiny; for instance, they seem to be largely ignorant of the racial separation between the elves and the eladrin, and deodanths that claim to have been in the present for only a short time often seem ignorant of the very existence of eladrins. One thing is certain, however: deodanths have an uncanny mastery over their own personal time frame. They are deadly opponents that prefer elven and especially eladrin victims (whom they insist on referring to as elves).

When the deodanth reappears, it gains combat advantage against each creature until the start of that creature’s next turn.

[Melee] Bite (standard; at will) Necrotic: +25 vs. AC; 2d8+9 necrotic damage, plus ongoing 10 necrotic.
[Melee] Deodanth Embrace (standard; recharge 5 6) Charm, Necrotic: Only against an immobilized target or with combat advantage; +23 vs. Will; Hit: 4d6+5 necrotic damage, and the target cannot target the deodanth lifesucker with any attacks (save ends).
[Ranged] Captivating Gaze (minor; recharge 5 6) Charm: Range 10; +23 vs. Will; target is immobilized (save ends).
Timeslip (move; at will) Time: The deodanth vanishes and reappears 1d4 rounds into the future. If another creature or object occupies its space at that point, the deodanth slipper instead reappears prone in the closest open space (if multiple spaces are equally close, the deodanth chooses which space it appears in) and both it and the creature or object occupying the space it was originally in suffer 3d10 points of damage. When the deodanth reappears, it gains combat advantage against each creature until the start of that creature’s next turn.

GOLEM, GLOOM--- Level 16 Soldier
A gloom golem is constructed from clay from the banks of the River Styx. It is pure malevolence given physical form. A gloom golem appears to be a misshapen, ogre—sized brute with faces pressing out against its body from within, as if clamoring for release. Where its face should be is only a gaping black orifice, from which emanates its incessant wailing.
Large immortal humanoid (construct)--- XP 1400

Initiative +12; Senses Perception +8
Incessant Wail of Despair (Thunder) aura 6; all living creatures within the aura take a -2 penalty on all attacks; deaf creatures are immune

[Melee basic] Touch of Woe (standard; at will) Psychic: Reach 2; +21 vs. Reflex; 1d12+7 psychic damage plus followup attack: +21 vs. Will; Hit: target is dazed (save ends); First failed save: the target is dazed and takes a -1 to attacks and skill checks (save ends both); Second failed save: the target is dazed (save ends) and takes a -1 to attacks and skill checks until the gloom golem is destroyed.
Danger of Gloom (immediate reaction; when targeted by an attack vs. Will; at will): The gloom golem is made of despair and gloom, and thus, touching its mind risks mental backlash. It makes an attack against the creature targeting it as a free action: +19 vs. Will; Hit: the attack triggering Danger of Gloom effects both the gloom golem and the target.

Just a quick bump for now.
I haven't forgotten or abandoned my monster project, but I've had several weeks of heavy prep for my game- so I've slowed down a bit. I'm hoping to post a little something later today- we'll see how that goes!

LIVING WALL
A living wall (a misnomer, to be sure) is an undead wall that contains the bodies and anima of its victims. It twists their power to fuel its own evil needs. As a living wall consumes more souls, it becomes progressively more powerful, often attaining twisted mockeries of the powers its victims had. Although largely immobile, a living wall is nonetheless very dangerous.
Though cloaked by an illusion that causes it to appear to be made of stone, brick and mortar or even wood, a creature that can see past this illusory form will realize that it is actually a gruesome construction of graying and sinewy flesh; hands, broken bones and feet rest just under the surface.
A living wall is only dangerous if in a position that its enemies must approach, or if it has allies that can use its presence to aid them.
LIVING WALL GRAPPLER--- Level 16 Controller
A standard living wall covers at least a 10’ section of wall, and sometimes a length of up to 20’ will be a single living wall. Often, multiple living walls will be constructed adjacent to each other. Some living walls appear to have doors in them, but this is merely part of the illusion that lures their prey.

[Melee basic] Desperate Grab (standard; at will): +20 vs. Reflex; Hit: 1d10+7 damage and the target is grabbed (escape ends); Miss: half damage and the target is slowed until the end of its next turn.
[Melee] Hold Against the Wall (standard; at will): Only against a grabbed target; +20 vs. Fortitude; Hit: target is restrained (escape returns to grab) and takes a -2 penalty to escape attempts until it is no longer restrained.
[Melee] Absorb Essence (minor; at will) Necrotic: Only against a restrained target; +20 vs. Fortitude; 1d10+5 necrotic damage. If the target dies while restrained, it is absorbed into the living wall grappler and lost forever.
[Ranged] Terrible Lure (minor 1/round; at will) Charm: Even when a victim knows the living wall is a threat to it, the wall can psychically force them to approach. Range 8; +20 vs. Will; Hit: the target is pulled 4 and immobilized (save ends).
Illusory Appearance * Illusion: It requires an Insight or Perception check, DC 28, to recognize a living wall as dangerous before it attacks.
