I wrote one up a few years ago, without knowing there'd been another conversion (they're native to a French folktale, I believe). Also, for some reason, I called it the "pedula". Serves me right for working from memory. My version can be found <a href="http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=101121" target="_blank">here</a>, and might be a good launching point for that conversion if it gets accepted.As for my offering up lambs of obscurity to the slaughter of conversion (great metaphor, eh?), I'm not exactly the most qualified here. I got into D&D via 3rd Edition, so all my exposure to previous editions has been retroactive. I have no idea if the creatures I'll be offering are actually one-hit wonders, or if there's another source I've missed. Keeping that in mind, here are some offerings:Garmorm (Planescape MC III): A vast floating worm native to the Astral Plane, the garmorm absorbs creatures into it with a song - creatures that fail to resist have their soul swallowed and join the choir of faces that cover its body. They are also accomplished spellcasters from all the souls they've absorbed over the centuries, and have a powerful bite.Linqua (Planes of Conflict): Linqua are the servitors of Sung Chiang, the god of theives from a Chinese mythos. Short squat humanoids tufted with green hair, they recieve the blessings of their creator in clerical spells, the ability to gain a burst of Strength (rather like the Strength domain power) and sneak attack. Despite their divine origin, linquas often escape the service of their master. These rogue linquas often make for powerful clerics, as they become addicted to the divine energy imbued by serving a god.Living Hair (Dragon 252): An manifestation of vanity, living hair forms when a person weaves a carpet or curtain out of their own hair, incorporating mystic runes into the designs. They despise all life, and dwell in the castles and manors of their creators (often after killing them). They strangle opponents in their fibrous mass, can ooze through tiny holes, and can only be killed with fire. Mole Dragon (Dragon 272): Wicked dragonets related to the pseudodragon, mole dragons have thick bodies and short tails. Their claws are huge and adapted to digging through earth and stone, and its hide is encrusted with gemstones. They have no breath weapon, but can summon earth elementals and cast spells as a cleric. They occasionally cooperate with derro and duergar and tend to be dour and sadistic.Murdrakus (Dragon 270): Creations of the Boneheart of Iuz, the murdrakus is a two headed draconic creature ninety feet long. It breathes lines of fire, and is so hot that merely touching the creature deals fire damage. Its tail can sever limbs on a successful critical hit. It regenerates rapidly, but can be permanently slain with acid and negative energy. (I have a feeling James Jacobs might like this one, because he wrote it back in the waning days of 2e).Demiurge out.</blockquote>
