Creatures in the Epic-Level Handbook

[Shade]

In case anyone hasn't seen this yet, here are the monsters found in the Epic-Level Handbook. I don't have the book yet. This was gathered from posts on the other boards and WOTC boards, so I can't answer any specifics:

Abomination
Advanced Dragon (template)
Anaxim
Atropal
Behemoth
Brachyurus
Chichimec
Colossus
Demilich (template)
Devastation Vermin
Dragon, Force
Dragon, Prismatic

Thorciasid

The Mercane are reprinted because they are crucial to the Epic city of Union.

Also, the latest issue of Dungeon has another epic monster, the Thunder Worm.

I can't wait to get my hands on this tomorrow!

Whoa, what are the CR's of those critters, and more importantly, which ones are unique?

 

[Grazzt]

Yeppers- I have seen those. They are being added to the database for the Creature Locator and will be on the new site when I launch it (a few weeks I hope).

From what I know, none of these are unique. I think Andy Collins stated that some time ago. As for the CRs - An Infernal is CR 26, a Prismatic Dragon (Great Wyrm I presume) is CR 66(!), and the Hundred-Handed Giants (Hecatoncheires) are 57. At least for one range of hit dice, the Paragon template adds +12 CR.

Hmm... I like my prismatic cousins allready

 

[AmerginLiath]

My favorite are the Abominations, a new subtype of Outsiders comprised the aborted offspring of dieties -- rolling forms of elemental fury, colossal monsters, and even giant shriveled fetuses that span the power gap between mortal and god and just want revenge on all that lives...

 

[Grazzt]

All have been added to the database. When the new site launches they will be there.

 

[BOZ]

well, guess i'll have to get this book then eh?
guess i'll probably wind up having to toss out my hecantonchiere conversion too... unless it's quite different than theirs.

 

[BOZ]

there's also a rumor on the general discussion boards ("epic mordenkainen") that the cat lord is in the book. i'm planning on getting my copy tomorrow.
