[QUOTE="Sarelth, post: 995264, member: 13038"] Ok, this is my first post on this forum. I like to convert monsters to 3rd ed rules. I would list my sliver conversions, but I see that there is already a set here, so I will not step on toes. Though if anyone wants to peek at my version they are welcome to There is a link to were I store them in my signature. Well on with the point of the thread, Here is a creature I liked in a movie. I won't say what movie as I want people to guess. Without further BS from me, here comes the monster: This one was done a while back and is not up to 3.5 standards.
