SACROL
Sacrol are undead entities of fearsome power and overwhelming hatred. They are spawned in sites of great death, and they exist solely to bring more living creatures into the realm of the dead. They aggressively attack almost any creatures unfortunate enough to encounter them.

A sacrol looks like an oversized skull surrounded by a constantly shifting, multihued bank of mist. Two long, ropelike tentacles are the sacrol’s killing appendages; though composed of mist, they are uncannily suggestive of entrails. The skull resembles that of one of the creatures whose death gave birth to the unholy beast.

A sacrol is a conglomerate spirit of the angry dead. It often pursues those responsible for the deaths that created it. A sacrol that slays all of its killers returns to the site of its mass death and haunts it forevermore.

SCAMILLE
A scamille is an amorphous, amoeba-like creature of surprising intelligence. Though not always hostile, their ways are very alien to most creatures with a less fluid nature, and it is easy to accidentally trespass against scamille taboos.

GARMORM
A garmorm is a strange creature that swims the Astral Sea. A garmorm looks like a 12’ long thick worm with faces pressing at it from within, singing the infamous and disturbing “Garmorm Song”, which incorporates the snapping of teeth extensively:

We are many (snap)
We are one
Now we live (snap)
Never done.

Sing of days (snap)
Sing of night
Long to sing (snap)
Show our might.

Join us in eternal song (snap)
Live with us forever strong (snap)
Our choir seeks more of your kind (snap)
Our power grows with each new mind (snap).

Garmorms speak Supernal, but they only communicate via song. Usually, they don’t even do that, preferring to simply devour the creatures that they encounter.

Neothelid--- Level 22 Solo Controller
A neothelid is a huge slime-covered worm with a clutch of tentacles at its front. Although it resembles a mauve carrion crawler, a neothelid is actually the result of the illithid reproductive cycle going horribly wrong: a mind flayer "tadpole" that never managed to implant, yet somehow survived the loss of its pool and slithered away to grow strong in the darkness.

MAULGOTH
Among the most dangerous terrors of the Underdark, maulgoths are solitary masters of stone, able to glide through it as easily as they move through air. A maulgoth looks like a weird agglomeration of stone and flesh, shaped something like a large malformed rhinoceros. Four spiked tentacles emerge from the beast's body, and its huge drooling maw is full of rocky teeth.

ENCOUNTER GROUPS
Maulgoths are vicious and territorial. If they voluntarily work with other creatures, it is almost certainly with some form of earth creature. Maulgoths usually ignore the nonliving, and thus sometimes coexist with golems or other constructs.
