CRAWLING APOCALYPSE

Remnants of a lost era found in desert wastes, crawling apocalypses are self-impelled relic weapons from ancient wars fought eons ago. Now bereft of purpose, some of these things have gone mad. Others still seek their long-destroyed adversaries, annihilating creatures that they presume to be enemies.

A crawling apocalypse is a horrific nest of withered, desiccated tentacles topped by a barrel-like body surmounted by two huge staring orbs. Ancient cerements caked with desert dirt and sand swath a crawling apocalypse’s form.

Combat Advantage: The invisible stalker deals an extra 1d6 points of damage when it has combat advantage. Since it is naturally invisible, this is most of the time. (See Blustery Invissibility.)

Blustery Invisibility: The invisible stalker is naturally and constantly invisible (meaning that it almost always has combat advantage). However, it is in constant motion, so it often reveals its presence by disturbing its surroundings. Thus, its opponents can automatically pinpoint what square it is in. However, they still suffer a -5 on attack rolls. When the invisible stalker takes a standard action, it reveals its presence more strongly, and enemies suffer only a -2 penalty on attacks.

SPAWN OF JUIBLEX

Juiblex, the Faceless Lord, has unfathomable intentions and incomprehensibly insane goals. It has dispatched agents across the planes, both demonic, ooze- and other. The spawn of Juiblex are eye-filled masses of atrocious liquid, a mix of disgusting slimes and sludges with utterly malign intent. A spawn of Juiblex resembles a great heaving mass of clotted, filthy sewage filled with hateful red eyes.

Here is a revised giant sundew, up to MM3/MV standards.

SUNDEW
Source: A2 Secret of the Slavers Stockade.

A giant sundew is a sticky plant that uses the decaying flesh of creatures that it catches as mulch. Giant sundews are dangerous enough that those fortunate enough to recognize them tend to steer well clear of them.

HP 80; Bloodied 40 Initiative +12

STANDARD ACTIONS
(mbasic) Sticky Tendril (acid) * At Will
Requirement: The giant sundew may not have more than 12 creatures grabbed.
Attack: Melee 4 (one creature); +13 vs. Reflex.
Hit: 2d6+7 damage plus 1d8 acid damage, and the target is grabbed (until escape).

Attack: Melee 1 (one grabbed creature); +13 vs. Reflex.

Here's my revised version of the invisible stalker- this one has more major changes.

I changed it to a lurker and revised how its Blustery Invisibility works to give it an "every other round I can lurk up" element, added a "must be lurking" high-damage attack, adjusted hit points for the change to its role and fiddled with the damage of its existing attacks.

I also tinkered with its accuracy- it is one point lower than typical for its level, but since it will have combat advantage an awful lot, I figure that's okay (giving it a likely accuracy one point above its level most of the time).


Invisible Stalker --- Level 10 Lurker
Medium elemental humanoid (air) --- XP 500
An invisible stalker is a playful form of air elemental that is composed of pure wind, so it is naturally invisible. Invisible stalkers do not seem to understand the difference between living creatures and dead bodies, probably due to the lack of distinction between elementals and their environment.
HP 81; Bloodied 40 Initiative +14
AC 22; Fortitude 22; Reflex 21; Will 20 Perception +9
Speed 6, fly 12

TRAITS
Blustery Invisibility
The invisible stalker is invisible but is surrounded by blowing winds and debris. Despite its invisibility, enemies may attack it as if it merely had concealment (but see also Still Winds). The invisible stalker has combat advantage against creatures that cannot detect invisible creatures, so it usually gains a +2 bonus on attack rolls.

STANDARD ACTIONS
(mbasic) Invisible Strike * At Will
Attack: Melee 1 (one creature); +14 vs. AC.
Hit: 2d8+9 damage.

(m) Unseen Strangulation * Recharge when the invisible stalker uses Still Winds
Requirement: The invisible stalker must have used Still Winds on its previous turn.
Attack: Melee 1 (one creature); +12 vs. Fortitude.
Hit: 2d10+8 damage and the target is grabbed (Escape DC x). Until it escapes the grab, it takes ongoing 10 damage.

(close) Forceful Gust * Recharge 6
Attack: Close blast 6 (creatures in blast); +13 vs. Reflex.
Hit: 3d6+5 damage and the target is pushed 3 squares and knocked prone.
Miss: The target is pushed 1 square.

Still Winds * At Will
Effect: The invisible stalker stills the winds that surround it. Until the end of its next turn, enemies treat it as if it were fully invisible.

AVOLAKIA
Source: 3e Monster Manual II.

Avolakia are hideous creatures that combine the worst features of an octopus, a worm and an insect. In its natural form, it stands ten feet tall, with a pallid, grey-yellow wormlike body that shimmers with yellow slime. The creature supports itself and moves about on a set of six suckered tentacles, each of which is tipped by a staring yellow eye. Where the creature’s head should be, an avolakia has a sheath that contains a set of three cruelly hooked mandibles. Eight long, spidery arms tipped with insectoid claws protrude from ridges halfway up its body. Avolakia reek of mold and decay.

Unnatural Diet: Avolakia can eat living or dead flesh, but they find it disgusting. Instead, they prefer undead flesh, preferably fresh off the flank of a zombie. Because of this, avolakia interested in the arcane arts tends to necromancy, and every community of avolakia has large herds of undead that they treat as cattle.

Linked to Kyuss: Avolakia are known to have a preference for the worm-god Kyuss. They make living sacrifices during terrible rituals, seeking to grant power to (or receive power from) their restless deity. Some avolakia serve as priests, even assuming humanoid form to create cults of the Worm That Walks.

Alliances with Illithids: Avolakia are known to work with other intelligent creatures at times. Their most infamous alliances are with mind flayers. When the two species work together to capture prey, the illithids extract the brains and devour them while the avolakia animate the dead to serve as undead shock troops and food. Since they do not compete for resources (a brainless body makes a fine zombie), they rarely find themselves at cross purposes.

CRAWLING APOCALYPSE
Source: 3e Sandstorm.

A crawling apocalypse is a relic of an ancient era. Found in what are now desert wastes, crawling apocalypses are self-impelled weapons from ancient wars fought eons ago. Now bereft of purpose, some of these things have gone mad, while others still seek to destroy long-vanished adversaries, annihilating whatever crosses their path.

A crawling apocalypse appears to be a nest of withered, desiccated tentacles topped by a barrel-like body surmounted by two huge staring orbs. Ancient cerements caked with desert dirt and sand swath a crawling apocalypse's form.

MORKOTH
Source: 1e Monster Manual.

A morkoth is a strange monster from the deepest ocean depths. They are rarely seen, for their victims do not often survive an encounter with the strange beast. Even the form of the morkoth is uncertain, as the few reports from those that do survive meeting a morkoth are inconsistent. According to most reports, the morkoth's body resembles that of a deep-sea fish with bulging eyes and protruding teeth. Most reports claim that the morkoth has a sail-like fin running along its back. Its lower body is said to trail away in a series of tentacles- variously numbered at two, four, eight or twelve- but other reports claim that it has crustacean-like legs on its underbelly.

Hypnotic Lairs: A morkoth lives at the center of a series of spiraling, interconnecting tunnels. Travel through this lair is inevitably confusing and lays strange enchantments upon the minds of intruders, leaving them easy prey for the morkoth. Merely traversing the tunnels subjects such unfortunates to a hypnotic lulling effect. Many creatures that fight a morkoth do not even realize that it is there until the fight is almost over.

Accompanied by Opportunists: Often, opportunistic predators will accompany a morkoth, hoping to feed on its leavings or snatch a victim out of a group of intruders. These predators are constantly in danger of becoming the morkoth's prey, should it grow hungry. A morkoth knows no loyalty to any creature save itself.

Morkoth of Baphomet --- Level 11 Solo Lurker
Medium aberrant magical beast (aquatic) --- XP 3,000
A morkoth of Baphomet is a morkoth that has been touched by the demon lord of mazes, sometimes through worship and ritual, and sometimes through the demon lord's own capriciousness. Either way, such a monstrosity resembles a morkoth with a bull's head, and it stinks like a horrid mixture of cattle and fish.

GREENVISE
Source: 3e Monster Manual II.

A greenvise is a larger version of the Venus flytrap, able to easily consume creatures of human size. Being ambulatory, it is more dangerous than most carnivorous plants. A greenvise often haunts the fringes of humanoid settlements, preying on solitary travelers or assaulting small groups on the outskirts.
