GOLEMS

There are many types of golems, but all share certain traits in common. They are all constructs made by sinister rituals, usually constructed predominantly of a single material. This material is animated by an elemental spirit that is difficult to control. Golems are all initially under the control of their creators, but the animating spirit too often manages to break free, usually with tragic results.

GOLEM, HANGMAN--- Level 12 Soldier
Also called rope golems, hangman golems are composed of numerous ropes that are twisted and wrapped into the shape of a humanoid figure. A hangman golem stands almost twice the height of a normal human.

[Rechan]

Jester, you didn't specify what the Phantom Stalker was vulnerable to.

Neogi look good. The gold-eater weasel is nasty.

 

[Rechan]

I wonder. If a Hangman Golem unravels, can PCs make a roll to find out if it's playing chicken?

Also, I wanted to point you to WotC's Will-o-wisp they released today. Just for kicks.

 

[the Jester]

Hey, thanks! It's cool to see the official take on things that I've done. I wasn't aware of that one until you pointed it out.

EDIT: Since there is an official 4e remorhaz, I'm not going to update these guys to MM3 standards unless someone specifically requests that I do so.

REMORHAZ

A remorhaz is a terrible, cold-dwelling creature similar in form to a huge centipede. Remorhaz (singular and plural) dwell in arctic and sub-arctic mountains and badlands, where they can find rocky caves in which to take shelter. When angry or excited, a remorhaz gives off tremendous heat.

EDIT: Updated to MM3 standards and substantially expanded here. You'll find the kolyarut, quarut and varakhut there as well.

INEVITABLES

Inevitables are strange, clockwork creatures that are relics of a lost, previous cosmology. They claim to be agents of law, but they answer to no authority and seem bent on overturning the very nature of the cosmos. Some say that maruts were once a type of inevitable, but have forsaken their former compatriots.

ZELEKHUT--- Level 12 Skirmisher

A zelekhut resembles a centaur in shape, but it is made of intricate clockwork. It wears ornate gold armor over alabaster skin. Zelekhuts claim to be charged with hunting down those that would escape their rightful punishment.

The scorpionfolk, updated to MM3 stats.

Comments: I added the "You're Not Going Anywhere" ability to both the minion and the soldier version in order to give them more soldieriness. Other than that, I adjust the driver's Driving Attack a tiny bit- otherwise, it was largely a basic attack with a rider if you moved first.

SCORPIONFOLK
Source: 3e Monsters of Faerun.

Tlincallis, also called scorpionfolk or stingers, are horrific monsters that combine the worst features of humanity with the deadliest aspect of a scorpion. A tlincallis (singular and plural) has a humanoid torso, arms and head. Its skin is a dark red color, sometimes mottled with black or deep grays. The hands of a tlincallis have only two broad, strong fingers and a thumb. It is hairless, with red, glowing eyes. Its lower body is scorpion-like, with six legs and a long, stinger-bearing tail.

Scorpionfolk live in desert cities, beneath which are thriving networks of burrows and tunnels. They often take humans and dwarves as slaves, forcing them to mine and craft weapons.

[the Jester]

A new conversion, rather than a revised one: the dakon.

Originally from the 1e Fiend Folio, I've flavored these guys for my campaign; my interpretation of them includes Gorilla City-style hidden communities and a taste for elf (most ape creatures in my campaign tend to have a taste for elf for some reason- hi there hadozee!)

DAKON
Source: 1e Fiend Folio.

A dakon is an intelligent, civilized ape from the Feywild. Typically shy and inoffensive, when aroused to anger a community of dakons is very dangerous. Dwelling deep in the jungles and forests of the Feywild, these creatures are surprisingly numerous but rarely encountered.

Hidden Communities: Dakon cities often include thousands of these creatures, with domesticated animals, agricultural areas, fantastic temples and incredible buildings. However, these communities are hidden in thick fey jungles and concealed from outsiders by a combination of woodcraft and magic.

Dangerous Appetites: One of the few things that creates problems between dakons and other races is their appetite for elf (or eladrin) flesh. To these apes, there is no delicacy more tempting, no flavor more enticing, no meat more delicious than elf. While many dakons refuse to eat elf because of moral qualms, many others poach elf when the opportunity arises.

Domesticated Animals: Dakon communities often have allies in the form of fey beasts that they use as pets or for meat. Some dakon communities include displacer beast packs that coexist with them; others have communities of blink dogs, drakes or others.

AURUMVORAX
Source: S3: Expedition to the Barrier Peaks

The aurumvorax, also called a gold-eater, golden badger or golden gorger, is a small, tough, voracious, vicious beast that resembles an eight-legged badger. An aurumvorax is a carnivore, but it also must consume gold to live. Thus, aurumvorax are detested by dwarves and dragons. Nonethless, some groups of gnomes befriend aurumvorax, and there are even a few instances in which the gnomes have managed to breed them.
