Well
....and here follow some more spoilers to the adventure....
The adventure is set in a small forest town that is home to a clan of werewolves that has lived peacefully with its human brethren for decades. A strange werewolf of large size and extreme ferocity comes to down and kills the leader of the pack, becoming its alpha. He then has the pack start digging in the woods. In the original adventure, he is looking for a deposit of gold (lame). In my revised adventure, he will be trying to unearth some kind of creature to wreak havoc on the surrounding area.
So there is already an awesome werewolf in the adventure, the above-mentioned Armon Bistle, who is actually using a magical cloak in order to assume wolf-shape.
The creature he is trying to dig up could be anything, really. Demon. Nasty undead. Whatever.
I just wanted to see what kind of possible nasties the fine folks at ENWorld could come up with.
I have recently run an adventure with a pack of werewolves in competition with evil fey for control of a site of ritual sacrifice in a forest. Stats for the band of evil fey follow (this was designed for 10th level characters):

Blood Drain (Ex) If Valicia pins an opponent in a grapple, she drains blood, dealing 1d4 Con damage per round. Every time she drains blood she gains 5 temporary hit points, which last for an hour.
Enchanted Gaze (Su) At will, as a standard action, Valicia can use her enchanted gaze on any creature within 30 ft. She can choose either to charm the creature or stun it with her otherworldly beauty. The charm has an effect identical to a charm monster spell (CL 10th, Will DC 22 resists), and is an enchantment, mind-affecting effect. The stunning gaze stuns the target creature for 2d4 rounds (Fort DC 22 resists). The saving throws are Charisma-based.
Energy Burst (Su) While Valicia has a cold spell-like ability of 2nd-level or higher available, as a standard action she can create a burst of cold energy in a 15-ft.-cone. This cone does 1d6 points of cold damage per level of the highest level cold spell-like ability she has available (Reflex DC 17 + spell level half). The saving throw is Charisma-based.
Moonlight Visibility (Su) Valicia is supernaturally invisible except when in natural moonlight. She retains her invisibility even when attacking, but she can be sensed by the usual means for detecting invisible creatures, including see invisibility and invisibility purge. She is plainly visible when in an area completely bathed in moonlight, and has concealment when in an area of shadowy moonlight.
Unearthly Grace (Su) Valicia adds her Charisma bonus (+7) to all her saving throws and as a deflection bonus to AC.

Change Size (Su) At will, a spriggan can change from Small to Large size and vice-versa.
Madness (Ex) As a tainted raver, MacSpurn is irretrievably mad. He uses his Cha modifier on Will saves. His sanity can only be returned by a miracle or wish spell or similarly powerful magic.
Perpetual Rage (Ex) As a tainted raver, MacSpurn is constantly in a state of insane fury similar to a barbarian’s rage, although he is not prevented from taking actions which require concentration, and can even act calmly and rationally.

Description This giant humanoid stands over 8 feet tall, even though it is hunched over like an old man. Its head is porcine and features prominent tusks. Its pale, warty flesh is covered by scraps of fur, leather and metal, and it carries a large silvery axe over one shoulder. Despite its bowed legs and shuffling gait, it moves swiftly through the snow.
Cheers, Al'Kelhar
