ECOLOGY

Treasure: None

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Absorb Metal (Ex): A living iron statue has a body that can absorb iron and steel. It takes normal damage when hit, but if a nonmagical metal weapon is used, the attacker must make a Reflex save (DC = 10 + damage dealt) or the weapon will become stuck in the body of the living iron statue, and can only be removed if the statue is killed. (If the weapon is left in the statue, the statue will eventually absorb the metal completely and eject nonmetal parts, so the statue will not forever walk around with weapons sticking out of it.)¹

Immunity to Magic (Ex): a living iron statue is immune to any spell or spell-like ability that allows spell resistance. In addition, certain spells and effects function differently against the creature, as noted below. A heat metal spell increases the statue's speed as if affected by the haste spell. Conversely, a chill metal spell will slow the statue, as per the slow spell. A rusting grasp spell deals 1d6 points of damage per caster level to the living iron statue, while an ironform spell restores the statue to full hit points.

Statue (Ex): A living statue can stand perfectly still, appearing to be a completely ordinary sculpture. An observer must succeed on a DC 20 Perception check to notice the statue is alive.

-----

Living iron statues are cast from molten iron poured into clay molds, making a perfectly seamless and hollow statue. They can be made in nearly any shape or size, but armored warriors, graceful women, and serpentine animals are most common. Their hollow bodies clang loudly when struck.

----------

CONSTRUCTION

An iron statue's body is cast from molten iron, which has been imbued with small amounts of rare metals and tinctures. This molten iron is then poured into a specially-made clay mold, which has also been treated with rare ingredients and annointed with magical oils. Assembling the mold requires a DC 15 Craft (sculpting) check, and casting the statue requires a DC 15 Craft (metallurgy) check.

CL 9th; Craft Construct, polymorph, lesser geas, heat metal, caster must be at least 9th level; Price 15,000 gp; Cost 8,000 gp.

LIVING STATUE, ROCK

Special Attacks: Fiery spray

STATISTICS

Base Atk +3; CMB +10; CMD 19
Feats: None
Skills: None
Languages: None
SQ: DR 10/-, statue

ECOLOGY
Environment: Any (especially ruins)
Organization: Solitary, pair, or statuary (3-6)
Treasure: None

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Fiery Spray (Ex): as a standard action, the living rock statue can squirt a stream of magma from its fingertips (or similar appendage, if the statue is not humanoid-shaped), to attack a single target up to 30 feet away. This ranged touch attack deals 2d6 points of fire damage on a successful hit.

Immunity to Magic (Ex): a living rock statue is immune to any spell or spell-like ability that allows spell resistance. In addition, certain spells and effects function differently against the creature, as noted below. A quench spell deals 1d6 points of damage per caster level (max 10d6) to a living rock statue, with no saving throw. A soften earth and stone does not change the statue's structure but negates its damage reduction and immunity to magic for 1 round.

A magical attack that deals cold damage will slow a living rock statue (as per the slow spell) for 2d6 rounds, with no saving throw. Conversely, a magical attack that deals fire damage will break any slow effect on the statue and heal 1 point of damage for every 3 points of damage that the attack would have otherwise dealt.

Statue (Ex): A living statue can stand perfectly still, appearing to be a completely ordinary sculpture. An observer must succeed on a DC 20 Perception check to notice the statue is alive.

-----

A living rock statue has an outer crust of stone but is filled with hot magma (fiery lava).¹ They are typically carved to resemble savage animals, primitive humanoids, or fire giants.

-----

CONSTRUCTION

A living rock statue's body is carved from a single 2000-pound block of granite, pumice, basalt, or other volcanic rock. The rock must be of exceptional quality, and costs at least 3,000 gp. Assembling the body requires a DC 15 Craft (stonecutting) check or a DC 15 Craft (sculpting) check.

CL 9th; Craft Construct, polymorph, lesser geas, stone shape, produce flame, caster must be at least 9th level; Price 18,000 gp; Cost 10,000 gp.

Fear (Ex): a giant rattlesnake can frighten or unnerve opponents by shaking its rattle (a standard action). All creatures within 30 feet of the rattlesnake must make a Will save (DC 12) or become panicked; creatures who make their save throw become shaken instead. The save DC for this ability is Charisma-based. These effects last for as long as the snake keeps rattling its tail and for 1d4 rounds thereafter.

Creatures with more Hit Dice than the rattlesnake are not affected by this ability. This is a sonic, mind-affecting fear effect.

Uncanny Speed (Ex): a giant rattlesnake attacks with incredible speed, making two attacks each round at its highest base attack bonus. Both attacks must be made against the same target.

Poison (Ex): Bite--injury; save Fort DC 12; frequency 1/round for 6 rounds; effect 1d6 Con; cure 1 save.

-----

A giant rattlesnake is a 10' long snake with brown and white scales set in a diamond pattern. On its tail is a dried, scaly rattle, which it often shakes to warn off intruders or attackers who are too large to eat. This snake is very fast, and attacks twice per round.¹

Well, I think that's about it for the Isle of Dread monsters...everything else can be easily replaced with an SRD monster substitution.

I imagine that all of my monsters will need a complete rebuild once I can get my hands on a copy of the Bestiary. Which will be just a couple more weeks, right?
