Nice pic. Plate probably would be a bit much, but a light rider in leather... it has possibilities. Also, I'd say double damage from a spear thrust if attacking as shown in the pic ;)

Watch out, though, if you do not have a flying spellcaster and are used to beating on things with physical attacks. I have run one of these, and it was a damn good fight, if fairly devastating for the fighter. The poor guy got plucked off his warhorse, though managed not to get swallowed. He...

Interesting idea as a mount, but it'd be one hell of a rough ride! And noisy! Imagine a warrior in full plate bounding along (*crash* *crash* *crash*). :D

Well, now you know who the gremlin is, BOZ. It's a shady one, it is.

+2 bonus to Swim and a +1 bonus to Ref saves?

My vote would be piercing damage, for a woodpecker's beak. It may not have the fine point of a claw or tooth, but it does taper to a point, and with that much force behind it...yeah, piercing. Dire Hippo and Dire Skunk have already been done, in the Tome of Horrors dire conversion. I don't...

No need for protection from arrows, I don't think, if we're going DR 10/magic and adamantine. I think the Charming Gaze and Create Spawn abilities are a good idea for the Greater. Maximized (or regular) Ray of Enervation once every 1d4 rounds? Level drain is fun for everyone! Would be...

Sounds good to me. Should it have a cheese affinity, Shade? ;)

I think that's more powerful than what we're looking for here. Would a simple "+2 to Spot and Listen checks while in forested areas" suffice? Good point, and good question! I know several PCs who would want to know the answer to this, and it would be good to provide the DM with this...

I have a pile of 2nd Ed. compendiums at home, but nothing with me currently (I'm at work). I'd like to submit a few; hopefully I can do so tonight when I get home (or tomorrow night at the latest).

I'd have to agree, here. Though it is a "beetle", it has a unique ability, more powerful than other vermin I've seen. Also, yes, they are more cunning than average vermin. I believe their entry states that they use pieces of grass and sticks to camouflage themselves, which shows intelligence.

Nicely done! I think this one will need to be in the next cavern my PCs adventure into :)

Awesome. I look forward to their preparation, as needed for the submission.

Nice concept!

I figured Baatezu would make its way in here as well ;) I've always pronounced it bah-tay-ZOO (and bah-tor). Do they include some pronunciations for the denizens of the planes as well?

Holy crap huge double-post!

That's how I used to pronounce it, and sometimes still do. I figure even if no one comes out with what's "correct" here, I'll at least get a feel for how others may pronounce it.

Tanar'ri? This has been a question I've had for quite awhile, but it was brought back to light for me during our last session, as the PCs stepped through a portal to the Outer Planes. During this journey, they are sure to encounter some of the above ;) I've heard it pronounced 2 ways, mostly...

True, true. Ok, 10 rounds is more sane :)

Cave Fisher! I used to love those in 2nd Ed; great subterranean creature! The Umpleby also gets my vote, along with several others. I always thought the Umpleby (umplebies? :-p) were interesting creatures, though I have yet to use one in an encounter.
