Converting World of Greyhawk monsters

I really like the idea of this being an incorporeal, riddling fey

Yeah, I think that's my vote as well.

Is there anything else in the text that could give a clue to the "motivation" of the animals that attack at the same time as the firey face? (i.e. do they seem to be under the control of the face?)

The only other text for this encounter is the stats for the circling creatures (four jackals and three jackalweres), the answer to the riddle, and a line that says "Exits: The fire pit, the highest point of the three surrounding hills."

CoLtM isn't a traditional adventure, but 100 encounters strung together with the theme of being part of a labyrinth created by the lich Lyzandred on his own personal demi-plane. To say that many of the encounters are somewhat lacking in depth would be an understatement .

Well, in light of this, I'd say that this is probably intended to be an elemental bound by Lyzandred (and the jackals/jackalweres probably work for Lyzandred also). So there would be no need for riddling or druidic-type abilities.

But I still agree with demiurge that a riddling incorporeal fey would be much more fun.

Agreed.

So shall we go with Small Fey (Incorporeal)?

Sounds good. Let's figure out ability scores.

As an incorporeal creature, it will have no Str score. Int is 15. Since AC translates to 17, and it gets a +1 size bonus for Small, we'll need +6 split between Dex and Cha to account for the remaining AC. Con appears average. Wis is probably decent if it is a "riddler".

So maybe...

Str -, Dex 17, Con 10, Int 15, Wis 18, Cha 17?

Those ability scores sound good!

Added to Homebrews.

Let's set DR 5. Does it need DR /magic, since only magic weapons can hit something incorporeal anyway?

Are the sunlight vulnerability and talisman left over from something (like one of the Filipino "demons")?
