Does a Lammasu's natural attacks overcome DR/good?

[Olaf the Stout]

In our last session the party encountered 2 Vrocks. The Conjurer polymorphed herself into a Lammasu. However as the Vrocks have DR 10/Good, the Lammasu's natural attacks didn't do all that much damage to them. The way I understand it, the Lammasu doesn't have the Good subtype so its natural weapons aren't good aligned. Did we play this correctly or should the Lammasu's natural weapons overcome DR/Good?

Nope, it is a magical beast not an outsider. Outsiders almost always have that thingie, but magical beast do not.

You played it correctly.

Looks like my player will need to find a creature that does have the ability to overcome DR/Good then because we have lots of Demon fights coming up! (the players are currently in Occipitus, a demi-plane in hell as part of the Shackled City AP)

Only Elysian Thrush is the Magical Beast with Good subtype. As it is a CR 1/4, far from a good choice.

If your play group is using Magic Item Compendium, Fiendslayer Crystal (Weapon Crystal) is one of the cheapest way to get a good-aligned weapon. You need a lessor version (3,000 gp) or a Greater Version (5,000 gp) but cheaper than buying a holy weapon.
