Anyone have CR-reducing templates?

Well? I'm looking for some templates to reduce creatures' CRs for my low-level game. Like "young" or "sickly" or "starved" - hopefully something with a little flavour. Anything like this out there? Maybe a cheap PDF?

Not quite what you're asking for, but Book of Templates Deluxe has the Ablative template. It represents building golems using sub-standard materials and other cost-saving shortcuts. It's available at http://www.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=2122&.
 

It's an alternative to template, but I believe it was Savage Species that introduced the concept of monster classes. A given monster that has only a single level in his "class" would be considerably weaker than one that had the full progression. The WotC web site also has a series of articles about it.
 

I believe Direkobold's Mirror of Stone module had a template in it whereby all the monsters where pale reflections of a true monster. Cr -2 or Cr -3
 


D20 Modern has the Replacement, a -1 CR template that can be applied to any humanoid. Basically it a grown-in-a-vat style clone.
 


The PDF Bodies and Souls Twenty Templates has a -2 CR template, Faded.

d20 Modern SRD has a -1 CR template, Replacement.
