I think the horgar should be an aberration.

Suggested ability scores (basically advancing a delver to Gargantuan for physical stats): Str 35, Dex 13, Con 25, Int 7, Wis 14, Cha 8.

I agree, and not just because of the delver, but because it was my first instinct as well. ;)

Since they’re not related creatures, as far as I know, I’ll allow that. ;) we might want to make the Dex lower though; I’ll think about that.
 

Give it blindsight rather than blindsense, so it can see where it's going. ;)

Based on its HD and description, I'd go with DR 15/bludgeoning or maybe even 20/.
 

I don’t think this one has eyes; that’s why I suggested blindsense instead.

Given the HD and size, I’ll go with DR 20/blgn.

Right. That's why I suggested blindsight. ;) Blindsense is inferior and often given to sighted creatures to help them sense the presence of hidden foes, while blindsight is echolation, and so on.

Sweet.
 


Thanks for the agreement, I think, but I suggested blindsight. ;)

WOTC should be poked in the eye for adding such a similar-sounding, similar-usage term to the game. :mad:
