This large creature looks much like an elephant made of vines, chockers, twigs, leaves and branches. Large wooden tusks stretch forth from it's leavy head, and two huge fern-leaf ears twitch with every sound you make. The creature stamps the ground with one tree trunk-like leg and lets out a elephantine trumpet with its long, vine of a nose.

Vine Stamp is a powerful force of nature, using his massive physical form to punish those who would defile nature. Vine Stamp does not distinguish between evil defilers and those who are cutting woods for civilized purpose. Those who are harming nature may face the wrath of Vine Stamp.

Combat
Vine Stamp will begin combat by trampling smaller foes. Then it will gore and stamp on its foes until they stop moving - often after they have been mashed into a pulp.
Trample (Ex): Reflex half DC 25. The save DC is Strength-based.

The throne started crumbling... What?!
No, it wasn’t a throne, it was the coiled up body of this mostruosity who presented himself as Prince and with whom you just had one of the most interesting talks you will ever have. All the wile you were examined from the shadows covering the “throne”.
The Prince slithers from the shadows into the light, still this far away you can’t discern him... it... the Prince, only notice he has jet black hair combed backwards, and a clean cut appearence... finally he comes close enough, exquisite build of sculpted marble from his waist upwards, a great powerful black snake conforms his lower half.
But the most enthralling, his features, his ey...

Unquestioned lords of medusas and of themselves, these abominations delight themselves with beauty, intelect, and power, riches are secondary, and the power they cherish is not the power over their subordinates but over external creatures and societies.

Constrict(Ex): On a successful grapple check, a Medusa Lord deals 2d6+10 damage.

Gaze(Su): Turn to stone permanently, 30 feet, Fortitude DC 24 negates. The save DC is Charisma-based.

Poison(Ex): Injury, Fortitude DC 24, initial damage 1d6 Str, secondary damage 2d6 Str. The save DC is Constitution-based.



Elite Stat Array Tauric Medusa+Giant Constrictor

Land, you should really start your own thread for your monsters. The Medusa Lord doesn't fit the theme of this thread.

Plus, do you really need to post the Medusa Lord in more than one place? I think the creature catalog forums are just fine for your monsters.

Well:
1) technically it is still a Templated Giant Constrictor

2) my post at homebrew has for intention not a strictly templated creature, but one modified according to criticism and comments.

Perhaps if you could tell us the template? I am thinking Tauric snake/medusa, though it is technically not legal, looks neat.

And here is another neat monster, again the Cleric likes to summon this beastie. This is a Fire Element Stegosaurus.

This immense creature walks on four short but massive flaming legs. Two rows of magma plates run down the creature's flaming back and it's tail is covered in long fiery spikes. Its head is relatively small, and its mouth ends in a powerful beak. The creature looks at you with its smoldering eyes and its flame-like body radiates heat like a hundred bonfires.

Thunderfire lizards are stupid but powerful beasts that roam the elemental plane of fire. They are often pressed into service as pack animals by efreet, powerful elementals, and other powerful individuals on the plane. It is said that there is an Azer chief that has Thunderfire Lizard cavalry under his command.

Combat
Thunderfire lizards are generally peaceful creatures, but when roused to battle can be terrifying opponents. Their favored tactic is to charge or run over creatures and set them ablaze. Then destroy them with its slams and tail attacks.
Powerful Charge (Ex): When a thunderfire lizard charges, it gets to make a single slam attack with a +17 attack bonus that deals 4d8+12 points of damage plus 2d6 points of fire damage and may set the foe on fire (see burn below). This is in addition to the normal benefits and hinderances of a charge.
Trample (Ex): Reflex DC 27 half. The save DC is Strength-based.
Burn (Ex): Those hit by a thunderfire lizard's natural attacks must succeed at a DC 29 Reflex save or catch on fire. The save DC is Constitution-based. In addition a thunderfire lizard deals an additional 2d6 points of fire damage to any creature that it hits with a natural attack or that hits it with a natural attack or unarmed strike.

Tactics
Not stupid beasts like many think, ti-khana allosaurus’s like to keep terrain features between themselves and opponents, forcing them to move in without charging, and if they stay back, then the ti-khana can use Psionic Charge to charge them. When they charge, or when they get an attack of opportunity, they will always try to grapple the foe. If successful, next round, they will swallow whole and trample their allies. They save aversion to help them flee from a combat that is going poorly and can run impressively fast when fleeing.
