[QUOTE="Terwox, post: 1842427, member: 1044"] Wrote some more tonight: Arrowhawk: A frozen bee, cold ray instead of shocking ray, uses its stinger instead of its beak. Assassin vine: Symbiont of a creature like a troll or an ogre -- they share a square, and the vine may protect the creature while it is asleep. As well, an intelligent creature could feign sleep, and have the vine entangle a creature, then beat them to death. Athach: Hard to adapt for something w/ three arms. Ideas? Azer: Substitute cold for heat. (Story: People that were frozen in a magic glacier that kept them alive for a few hundred or thousand years, and they bring their ancient culture (warlike or not) to the present.) Barghest: Evil dwarven were-panthers, benevolent gnomish were-panthers. Maybe give 5/silver for lycanthrope status, though this might up the CR a little. Basilisk: War hounds that watched their masters they loved be slain, and become malevolent spirits with gazes of doom. (Story: Some of these could be bred on purpose by an evil spellcaster, or even just an evil fighter.) Behir: Take the legs away, a snake that can oddly slither up walls or along ceilings is rather creepy. (Ceiling slithering might make the encounter a lot tougher, be careful.) Beholder: The players will know what you're doing if you use these stats. Belker: Tufts of black smoke, these are transformed familiars of vampires that are fed blood, they turn into large wispy black versions of themselves, in mist form they turn into blood that claws the heroes from the inside out, when inhaled. Blink dog: A swarm of teleporting rats teleports together into a swarm, which then starts blinking out and teleporting in synch. Enough damage just disrupts the swarm, and the rats scatter. Bodak: This creature has the form of a crazed-looking goblin woman. (Story: She only appears when a goblin holds a candle and chants her name one hundred times in front of a darkened mirror. Then she appears, killing the chanter with a glance, and terrorizes the nearby area. Slain creatures rise as bodaks in service of the crazed goblin woman, but gain freedom if she is slain -- maybe even part of their own minds back.) Got some more to type up from the sheet I'm working on them on, but for now I'm going to bed. I hope some of these are helpful, I thought the bodak interpretation was perhaps usable, and perhaps obvious. (Bloody Mary urban myth, etc, google it if you don't know it.) [/QUOTE]
