First things first: fey?

 

[Shroomy]

Definitely fey IMO.

Hey, it's one of ours!

Edit: I'd call it a Large fey, with the kapre having the shapechanger subtype as well. The kapre is often depicted smoking a wad of rolled tobacco. You can read more about the kapre at Wikipedia, which is quite accurate.

These guys look like a lot of fun.

Large fey it is.

We can modify the elven cat's change size power...

Change Size (Sp): Twice per day, an elven cat can magically change its size. This works just like a enlarge person or reduce person spell (the elven cat chooses when using the ability), except that the ability can work on the elven cat.

Let's figure out ability scores.

Int: average-very

That puts Int in the range of 8-12.

Str is within the range of 18/01-23 (which converts to 19-26 in 3e). They are described as "muscular". One of the other demons in the article is described as stronger.

They are 10-12 feet tall.

Hill Giant (10-1/2 feet): Str 25, Dex 8, Con 19, Int 6, Wis 10, Cha 7
Stone giant (12 feet): Str 27, Dex 15, Con 19, Int 10, Wis 12, Cha 11

So....Str 24, Dex 13, Con 19, Int 10, Wis 12, Cha 11?

 

[Mortis]

So....Str 24, Dex 13, Con 19, Int 10, Wis 12, Cha 11?

That's a reasonable set of abilities.

The ability stats sound good.

The Agta, Bawo, or Ungo appears as a muscular, black-skinned humanoid, and can vary its size instantly between 1 ft. and about 30 ft. It is generally about 10-12 ft. in height, which may be its natural size.

As it increases in size, it becomes stronger, as follows: when it shrinks to 1 ft., it has 2 hp, attacks as a 1 HD monster, and causes 1d4 damage on a successful hit. It can enlarge itself to a maximum height equal to half its maximum hit points (as rolled on 8d8) in feet, i.e. an Agta with 54 hp can reach a maximum height of 27 ft. For every 4 ft. of its height it attacks as a monster of 1 HD and cause 1d4 damage. Thus, at 1-4 ft. it attacs as a 1 HD monster and causes 1d4 damage, at 5-8 ft. it attacks as a 2 HD monster for 2d4 damage, and so on, up to a maximum of 8 HD and 8d4 damage.

Assuming a cutoff at 1 ft. and 32 ft. on the high end (assuming max 8d8 hp/2), the agta could either be Diminutive or Tiny on the low end, and Huge or Gargantuan on the high end, per the monster size chart in the MM. Preferences?

Here's a first draft of the ability...

Change Size (Su): An agta can change size from Diminutive/Tiny to Huge/Gargantuan. The agta gains all size adjustments to space/reach, ability scores, skills, damage, and combat options such as grapple, as normal for a monster that changes size. An agta can remain in a given size until it chooses to assume a new one. A change in size cannot be dispelled, but an agta reverts to its natural size when killed. A true seeing spell or ability reveals its natural size.

Let's go Tiny to Huge, or else we might have to provide too many alternate stats.
