Converting monsters from Second Edition Monstrous Compendiums

Flavor with hints of "divinely morphic" sounds ok. I guess the same would be true of the dream web artifact. Do you both agree to Crafting feats. Standard bonuses for having the workshops, or do you want to make them more powerful somehow?

I like the divinely morphic bits. I'm not really keen on giving her Item Creation feats. She mostly seems to whip up monsters and mutations. I'd rather we give her another ability to create "stuff".

Since it's almost Christmas, would the "Item Master" ability you gave Santa Claus work?

Ho ho ho, that's a jolly idea!

Item Master (Ex): Santa Claus can use any magic item, even spell completion items such as wands or scrolls. He can also create any item or construct as though he had the necessary feats and prerequisite spells or other requirements.

That approach looks ideal.

I'd add "Undead" to "Construct" since she makes flying heads, lost souls and such.

We might need to expand the ability a bit to allow for undead, as they aren't created in quite the same manner as constructs and items.

Mistress of Creation (Su): Mullonga can use any magic item, even spell completion items such as wands or scrolls. She can also create any item or construct as though she had the necessary feats and prerequisite spells or other requirements. Mullonga can also create undead as if using any spell capable of undead creation, such as animate dead or create greater undead, provided she has the necessary corpses.

Looks good.

It doesn't really need the "provided she has the necessary corpses" bit since she'd create them as per whatever Necromantic spell she employs, but it doesn't hurt to leave it in.

Updated.

Organization: Solitary, x (Mullonga plus 13 arcane heads), or x (Mullonga plus 13 arcane heads and x ennui and x golems)

Challenge Rating: 14-15?

Treasure: Double (or even triple) standard?

Mullonga is 5 feet tall and weighs 90 pounds?

Mullonga speaks Abyssal, Celestial, Common, and Infernal in a voice as dry and brittle as a mummy’s wrappings? (I borrowed the languages from a night hag).

Hmm, for the first x I would use the name of something worn on the head - a crown, a diadem?

No, a circlet, then we can make the second x a circle and add a covey with 2 more hags.

Organization: Solitary, circlet (Mullonga plus 13 arcane heads), circle (Mullonga plus 13 arcane heads and x ennui and x golems) or covey (Mullonga plus 2 night hags, on nightmares, and 13 arcane heads)

Challenge Rating: 14-15?

Let's say 15. The Auto-Quicken is enough to merit the higher CR.

Treasure: Double (or even triple) standard?

Triple's fine by me.

Mullonga is 5 feet tall and weighs 90 pounds?

100 pounds would suit me better, but 90 is OK if freyar prefers that.

Mullonga speaks Abyssal, Celestial, Common, and Infernal in a voice as dry and brittle as a mummy’s wrappings? (I borrowed the languages from a night hag).

Those are OK by me.

90 lb, make her skinny. And definitely triple standard treasure, since she should be a big boss. The rest looks pretty good.
