The wotc page where these critters debuted
http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/mm/20031018a

I am pleased to inform you, the Glantrian expansion council, that further training of the Praetorian troglodyte - lizard folk amalgamation is possible. Selective breeding supplemented with sufficient force has proven effective to keep the creatures in check. Their minds, while resistant on charms that affect normal humanoids can still be enspelled with sufficient potency, of which, in our great kingdom of magic, there is no short supply.

One recent development is that these creatures have been coaxed to use armor. As some of you may know, most of the scaled bipeds are not well disposed to wearing armor due to skin conditions they suffer from such accoutrements. However after a brief field study I found that crocodile leathers can be safely worn by this breed and that they can manufacture this armor given the need and materials. I submit to you Glantri city canal guard report #126 form the Month of Dragon’s Fire of last year. I won’t bore you with too many unfortunate details, but several of our canal cleansing scorpion-crocodile hybrids where found skinned among the lair of the escaped band of these creatures who were wearing the hides. Their penchant for slave taking was evidenced by the unfortunate apprentice found who had been worked to death by the rogue band.

The Troglizards should be used to take the Malpheggi swamp of Darokin and the marshlands of Karmekios at the soonest opportune time. Once they replace the indigenous lizard folk tribes, their accelerated metabolisms and increased aggression will ensure the Troglizards become a major military threat that will deplete the forces of those countries, easing our expansion goals.

I feel that it would be appropriate to allocate funds for the master warsmiths to fashion armor and weapons for the Units kept for our own shock troops. Should mundane crocodile supply be inefficient for this process, then I propose using our remaining stock of scorpadiles as raw materials.[Sblock=Troglizard – Warrior 2]

Stench: Like their troglodyte forebears, troglizards excrete an oily, noxious liquid when excited or agitated. This musklike scent is repellant to all creatures others than troglizards. All other living beings within 30 feet must make a DC 15 Fort save or be sickened for 10 rounds. Creatures that successfully save are not affected by the same troglizard's stench for 24 hours. A delay poison or neutralize poison spell removes the sickened effect. Those creatures that are immune to poison are unaffected, and those resistant to poison enjoy their normal bonuses on the saving throw against the stench. The save DC is Constitution-based.
Skills: Troglizards have a +4 racial bonus on Hide checks due to the troglizard's ability to alter its coloration somewhat. This ability functions like that of a chameleon although not to the same extent.[/Sblock]

Roa’Gulko, The Bully can fly despite its small wings.
Roa’Gulko, The Bully is 28 feet tall and weighs 11,000 pounds.

Roa’Gulkoe’s natural weapons, as well as any weapons it wields, are treated as chaotic-aligned and evil-aligned for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.

Smite (Su)
Three times per day Roa’Gulko can create a nimbus of unholy light. When the demon triggers the ability, rainbow-colored beams play around its body. One round later they burst in a 60-foot radius. Any creature within this area must succeed on a DC 25 Will save or be dazed for 1d10 rounds as visions of its worst fears hound it. The creature receives its full Dexterity and shield bonuses to AC if attacked but can take no actions. Other demons are immune to this effect. The save DC is Charisma-based.
Spell-Like Abilities
At will—call lightning (DC 18), feeblemind (DC 20), greater dispel magic, slow (DC 18), greater teleport (self plus 50 pounds of objects only), unholy aura (DC 23). Caster level 12th. The save DCs are Charisma-based.

Summon Demon (Sp)
Twice per day Roa’Gulkoe can attempt to summon 1d4 vrocks, 1d4 hezrous, or one glabrezu with a 50% chance of success, or another Nafleshee with a 20% chance of success. This ability is the equivalent of a 5th-level spell.
True Seeing (Su)
Roa’Gulko continuously uses true seeing, as the spell (caster level 14th).

Skills
Roa’Gulko has a +8 racial bonus on Listen and Spot checks. [/Sblock] [sblock=Unholy Aura]
Abjuration [Evil]
Level:Clr 8, Evil 8
Components:V, S, F
Casting Time:1 standard action
Range:20 ft.
Targets:One creature/level in a 20-ft.-radius burst centered on you
Duration:1 round/level (D)
Saving Throw: See text
Spell Resistance:Yes (harmless)

A malevolent darkness surrounds the subjects, protecting them from attacks, granting them resistance to spells cast by good creatures, and weakening good creatures when they strike the subjects. This abjuration has four effects. First, each warded creature gains a +4 deflection bonus to AC and a +4 resistance bonus on saves. Unlike the effect of protection from good, this benefit applies against all attacks, not just against attacks by good creatures. Second, a warded creature gains spell resistance 25 against good spells and spells cast by good creatures. Third, the abjuration blocks possession and mental influence, just as protection from good does. Finally, if a good creature succeeds on a melee attack against a warded creature, the offending attacker takes 1d6 points of temporary Strength damage (Fortitude negates).[/Sblock]

Here is a Lesser planar ally for the cult of elder elemental evil. I believe the Elemental would loose the ability to receive STR 1.5 on it's slams use to having additional [un]natural attack. Though from my understanding the template does let it keep the special qualities of being an elemental

From the wall, a distorted being, slightly larger than yourself, exudes forth, the stone giving no resistance to the creature as if grateful to be rid of it. A heartbeat later, a foul scent violates your nostrils, leaving you grateful your eyes only have to contend with hints of stone and slime. Almost bipedal, 4 arm like appendages flail near the top of the thing’s form. Even glancing upon the creature’s muted form call up sensations, urgent and primal, that demand ‘Destroy this creature or flee from it!'[Sblock=Half Far spawn Earth Pseudomental, Medium]Medium Outsider (Earth, Extraplanar)

Earth pseudomentals speak Terran but rarely choose to do so.

Combat
Though an earth pseudomental moves slowly, it is a relentless opponent. It can travel though solid ground or stone as easily as humans walk on the earth’s surface. It cannot swim, however, and must either walk around a body of water or go through the ground under it. An earth pseudomental can move along the bottom of a body of water but prefers not to.

Earth Mastery (Ex): An earth pseudomental gains a +1 bonus on attack and damage rolls if both it and its foe are touching the ground. If an opponent is airborne or waterborne, the pseudomental takes a –4 penalty on attack and damage rolls. (These modifiers are not included in the statistics block.)

Push (Ex): An earth pseudomental can start a bull rush maneuver without provoking an attack of opportunity. The combat modifiers given in Earth Mastery, above, also apply to the pseudomental’s opposed Strength checks.

Earth Glide (Ex): An earth pseudomental can glide through stone, dirt, or almost any other sort of earth except metal as easily as a fish swims through water. Its burrowing leaves behind no tunnel or hole, nor does it create any ripple or other signs of its presence. A move earth spell cast on an area containing a burrowing earth pseudomental flings the pseudomental back 30 feet, stunning the creature for 1 round unless it succeeds on a DC 15 Fortitude save.

Elemental traits: Immunity to poison, sleep effects, paralysis, and stunning. Not subject to critical hits or flanking. Raise dead, reincarnate, and resurrection, don’t work on this creature. Nor does it eat, sleep, or breathe.[/SIZE]

True Strike (Su): Once per day, this creature can make a normal attack with a +20 insight bonus on a single attack roll. The half-farspawn is not affected by the miss chance that applies to attacks against a concealed target. Note, This is not casting true strike, the creature chooses to use this ability and launches the attack that round, often power attacking for full and fighting defensively, reducing the bonus to +12.

Change Shape(Su): As a standard action, a half-farspawn can take the form of a grotesque, tentacled mass.This ability functions as described for the change shape ability (see page306 of the Monster Manual), except the creature: looses its slam attack, Push and Earth mastery, movement modes do not change, retains the tentacle attacks and gains two additional tentacle attacks when making a full attack, cannot be flanked, criticaly hit, and Creatures native to the Material Plane take a –1 morale penalty on attack rolls against a half-farspawn in its amorphous form.[/Sblock]

Dire ligers prey on just about anything that moves. They will patiently stalk a potential meal, striking whenever the creature lets down its guard.

Dire ligers grow to be over 14 feet long and can weigh up to 9,000 pounds.

Combat
A dire liger attacks by running at prey, leaping, and clawing and biting as it rakes with its rear claws.

A Dire liger frequently uses power attack, sacrificing 8 points of its attack bonus for +8 to damage. If it fails to hit, or the only available prey is encased in stone or metal, it attacks normally. Claws +17 to hit, 2d4+16 damage; bite +14 to hit, 2d6+12 damage; Rake + 14 to hit, 2d4+12 damage.

Girallons are savage, magical cousins of the gorilla. When moving on the ground, a girallon walks on its legs and lower arms. An adult girallon is about 8 feet tall, broad-chested, and covered in thick, pure white fur. It weighs about 800 pounds.
Combat
A solitary girallon usually conceals itself in the branches of a tree or under a pile of leaves and brush, with only its nose showing. When it spots or scents prey, it charges to the attack. A girallon picks up prey that is small enough to carry and withdraws, often vanishing into the trees before the victim’s companions can do anything to retaliate. Against larger foes, a girallon seeks to tear a single opponent to bits as quickly as it can.
Rend (Ex)
A girallon that hits with two or more claw attacks latches onto the opponent’s body and tears the flesh. This attack automatically deals an extra 2d4+9 points of damage.
Skills
A girallon has a +8 racial bonus on Climb checks and can always choose to take 10 on a Climb check, even if rushed or threatened. [/Sblock][Sblock=Fiendish Girallon 2nd in command]

Girallons are savage, magical cousins of the gorilla. When moving on the ground, a girallon walks on its legs and lower arms. An adult girallon is about 8 feet tall, broad-chested, and covered in thick, pure white fur. It weighs about 800 pounds.
Combat
A solitary girallon usually conceals itself in the branches of a tree or under a pile of leaves and brush, with only its nose showing. When it spots or scents prey, it charges to the attack. A girallon picks up prey that is small enough to carry and withdraws, often vanishing into the trees before the victim’s companions can do anything to retaliate. Against larger foes, a girallon seeks to tear a single opponent to bits as quickly as it can.
Rend (Ex)
A girallon that hits with two or more claw attacks latches onto the opponent’s body and tears the flesh. This attack automatically deals an extra 2d4+9 points of damage.
Skills
A girallon has a +8 racial bonus on Climb checks and can always choose to take 10 on a Climb check, even if rushed or threatened. [/Sblock]

[sblock=The Beast of Radlebb Woods]

Spellweaver @ wotc boards said:

It was a dark and windy night. Rain poured endlessly from black skies that lit up when the occasional lightning forked its way across them, followed by thunderous crashes that made the very earth shake. It was the biggest lightning storm of living memory, and to Pasha that was a long time.

'Tell us a story, grandpa' little Boris and Natascha pleaded. The noise outside had kept them awake long past their usual bedtime and they gathered with the rest of the woodcutter family around the fireplace of the small cottage.

'A story?' Pasha said thoughtfully, rubbing his beard with a gnarly hand.

'Yes. A ghost story!', Boris said eagerly.

'Hmm... I do believe I don't know any ghost stories', Pasha said slowly and the children moaned in disappointment. 'But let me tell you about the time when I went hunting for the Beast of Radlebb Woods. It was a dark night, much like this one. We had heard that the beast had been sighted near the hamlet of Tristan's Creek...'

THE BEAST OF RADLEBB WOODS

The Beast of Radlebb woods is a legendary monster, feared by woodsmen and elves from Radlebb Keep to Rifflian. Few have encountered it and escaped with their lives and tales spoken in fear in taverns all over Karameikos tell of evil, glowing red eyes and fangs the size of daggers that can tear an armoured knight apart in moments.
Nobody really knows what the monster is or where it came from. It has lived in Radlebb Woods as long as any living human can remember and even the elves of Rifflian are unsure of when or from where the creature came.

[DMing notes]:
The Beast of Radlebb Woods is a creation of the priesthood of Orcus, a juggernaut of a boar released to guard the territory in which one of their main temples lies hidden. It is a killing machine that will savagely slay any humanoids it encounters (and quite a few animals) unless they are protected by the beast-head medalions worn by the priesthood.
The DM can use the Beast in a number of ways; PCs could be hired to track and capture or kill the monster. They might encounter it just travelling through Radlebb Woods. Or they could stumble across the hidden temple of Orcus (unlikely, but possible) and be hunted through the dark woods by the monster! If they figure out how the priesthood stays safe they might try to acquire beast-head medalions to protect them while in the forest and then investigate the temple (which is manned by dark clerics, devil swines and other nasties).
The DM should flesh out the statistics of the Beast to suit his campaign needs.

Dire boars are omnivorous and spend most of their time rooting around, much as ordinary pigs do. They viciously attack anything that approaches them, however.
Dire boars grow up to 12 feet long and weigh as much as 2,000 pounds.
Combat
A dire boar charges its opponent, trying to rip the target open with its tusks.
Ferocity (Ex): A dire boar is such a tenacious combatant that it continues to fight without penalty even while disabled or dying.[/Sblock]The priesthood of orcus has taken the shoes from the mount of a fallen hero and placed them on the Beast they infused with Daemonic essence.

For parties who don't bother with tactics, here is one that could provide a wake up call / death knell. Not that smart, but wise enough to hit, take cover, and hit again. Familiarize yourself with the "ready action" before this fight and don't forget it has spell resitance.

If the previous beast was not enogh to be a threat, here is a beast that should be a deadly fight. The rules use was fast and loose so it ain't perfect...

[Sblock=Hogzilla!]it is smart enough to use its feats effectivly. The Cult has equipped it with the magical chain barding of a Huge beast as well. The have given it bloated, enchanted ticks that act as potions when they are consumed:yuck:. Add other potions as needed to challenge the party. A beast this ferocious has left great ruin in the woods, one could get rich looting the woods, though the cult has rounded up the enchanted items they can find.
