sorry, I was away for abit. What follows is a rough layout of a monster race called the Xizxx. Rough, as I haven't statted them up in 3e yet, so their may be some errors. Basically one of two races created by a demented demi-lich(ahem, me) in my old campaign. This one a mix of the Shadow Dragon and Scalamagdrion, and the Arachnoid and Shadow templates. They start off tiny, gain abilities till large in size, then lose intelligence as they get larger, by gargantuan in size they are just mindless constantly raging creatures. I have done a 'large' one below. will follow up with a small and gargantuan size later, if you want.
oh, at this size they hunt in packs, usually in threes.
