How about a Delicious special ability -- when they die, anyone within X ft has to make a Will save or start eating them? And perhaps they're poisonous or affect alignment in some way when you eat them?

Fattening - any living creature who eats a chocodaemon grows so obese they move as if their encumbrance was one grade worse than it actually is (e.g. a creature in light armor or carrying a light load moves as a medium encumbered creature. This effect lasts until the subject goes on a strict diet for X days.

I don't think the cacao/cocoa-daemon is too serious either.

Regarding the org, we wanted to revisit the amazon org also. We had previously

Organization: Solitary, party (10-20 plus 1 leader of 5th-6th level, and 1 emezon cleric, adept or wizard of 2nd-4th level), party (20-50 plus 1-4 leaders of 5th-6th level, 1 captain of 7th-8th level, and 1-4 emezon clerics, adepts or wizards of 2nd-4th level) or clan (30-100 plus 4-8 leaders of 5th-6th level, 1 captain of 7th-8th level, 1 queen of 9th-12th level, 30-100 emezon 1st level warriors, 60-200 noncombatants, 2-5 emezon clerics, adepts or wizards of 2nd-4th level, and 1 emezon cleric or wizard of 4th-8th level).

I think it makes much more sense if there are fewer emezons with class levels, and I also don't think there should be many in the smaller orgs (like party). Mostly emezons should be in clans (or subgroups of the clan sitting around at home).

If I remember correctly that was a pretty faithful interpretation of the original Monstrous Compendium Amazon, which had male clerics and low-level warriors. Those are probably "normal" male humanoids rather than Emezons, though, which suggests it would be easier to have a separate Organisation for the Emezons to represent an Amazon & Emezon clan.

How about we make the emezon warriors experts or else regular males and tone down the levels of teh emezon casters?

Why don't you write up a draft Organization so we have something to argue extensively over debate in a reasonable fashion. :)

For the amazon, how about this?

Organization: Solitary, party (10-20 plus 1 leader of 5th-6th level, and 1 emezon cleric, adept or wizard of 1st-2nd level), party (20-50 plus 1-4 leaders of 5th-6th level, 1 captain of 7th-8th level, and 1-4 emezon clerics, adepts or wizards of 1st-2nd level) or clan (30-100 plus 4-8 leaders of 5th-6th level, 1 captain of 7th-8th level, 1 queen of 9th-12th level, 30-100 male 1st level warriors, 60-200 noncombatants, 2-5 emezon clerics, adepts or wizards of 1st-2nd level, and 1 emezon cleric or wizard of 2nd-5th level).
