Converting "generic setting" second edition monsters

[demiurge1138]

The mimicry thing is too weird and specific. Just mention it sounds like that.

Extended reach for the bite, like a dragon. I don't think I like pounce for this guy, but I do like improved grab + rake, as well as Swallow Whole.

How about regen 10-15?

Given the quote listed above, the sound coming from its belly probably IS "thirty hounds questing".

Good point!

Let's fill in some x's.

Breath weapon: 40 ft cone

Rake: +14 (1d8+5) ?

Swallow whole: 1d12+10 bludgeoning plus 8 acid?; 2 Small, 8 Tiny, 32 Diminutive or smaller?

 

[demiurge1138]

All of those X's sound fine by me.

What feats do we want? Power Attack, Multiattack, Improved Multiattack, Cleave?

 

[freyar]

Those sound pretty good to me. Or maybe Imp Overrun instead of Cleave, either way.

 

[demiurge1138]

I prefer Cleave because that way, it can make a free attack after swallowing someone (at least, with my reading of the Cleave feat; I'm not sure how rules-legal that is).

 

[freyar]

That's good enough for me!

 

[Shade]

All that sounds good.

Updated.

Darkvision x ft.

Skills: 39
Hide 9, Listen 13, Move Silently 4, Spot 13?

Environment: Any land?

Challenge Rating: 10?

Advancement: 11-20 HD (Large) 21-30 HD (Huge)? [assuming we make it non-unique]

A swallowed creature can cut its way out by using a light slashing or piercing weapon to deal x points of damage to the gizzard

 

[freyar]

Umm, 60 ft darkvision. The rest looks good; 15 pts damage to the gizzard. Actually, with regeneration, does that work?
