[QUOTE="Shade, post: 3214440, member: 287"] Just a few off the top of my head: Chronotyryn (Fiend Folio) - Time-manipulating magical beasts from Acheron. I like these critters because they have a cool niche, they aren't outsiders like you'd expect, and they seem to come from an unlikely place for an affiliation with time. Ethergaunts (Fiend Folio) - They just drip flavor and provide for so much campaign inspiration. Plus, they have a cool Stargate kinda vibe. Nerra (Fiend Folio) - A great exemplar race for neutrality that lives on an underused plane. Obyriths (Fiendish Codex 1) - An excellent treatment for the mysterious proto-demons that predated the tanar'ri, oozing with Lovecraftian flavor. Maug (Fiend Folio) - The playable construct race that predates the warforged, with an interesting history and potential for expansion with their grafts. Rotripper (Dragon Annual 5) - An almost-forgotten creature, this undead giant can rip the arms off its victims and add it to its own body as natural weaponry. Nothing says creepy like being beaten to death with your own arms. Minion of Chaos (Dungeon #99) - The perfect ambassador from the Far Realm to scare the bejeezus out of your players. Xixecal (Epic Level Handbook) - A walking glacier accompanied by white dragons circling its head like birds, it literally can bring on an ice age when it appears. An entire campaign in one creature. Malebranche (MMII) - The name's not new, but the creature is. A good use of a nostalic name on a creature that fills a niche previously lacking in the devil hierarchy. Kaiju Template (Dragon #289) - Create your own Godzillas, Mothras, etc. quickly and easily. Elemental Monoliths (Complete Arcane) - These keep elementals viable at high-levels. Rune Golem (Dragon #343) - A cool twist on an overused creature type, it incorporates Norse and druidic elements. The incredible artwork ices the cake. Hellchain Weaver (Dragon #343) - Another nice gift for the Planescape fans, these infernal metallic spiders are tied to the kytons and have some truly frightening abilities. [/QUOTE]
