If you notice the EL on the Sample encounter is EL 6, with the Nabassu already having claimed 8 commoners as soul food and made 4 more into corpse crunching expendables. That is about a EL 6 ‘mixed pair’ encounter with a CR 5 and a few CR1s. Unless the Ghouls are “counted in” the Nabassu’s CR as summoned allies are for other demons and the 2 pseudo HP are what makes that Nabassu CR / EL 6."The Haunted Henge (EL 6): ...The nabassu has fed on eight humanoids so far and transformed four others into ghoul thralls. "Since the benefits are fairy solid and the Nabassu is no wimp for its CR, some increase is warranted.For every three humanoids the juvenile nabassu devours in this fashion, it gains the following benefits:+1 profane bonus on attack rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks+5 hit points+1 profane bonus to its natural armor+1 effective level (whenever the nabassu's level is used in a die roll or calculation, increase it by 1) Outsiders normally gain 1 CR for each 2 HD, so mirroring that for the pseudo HD it eats it’s way through, I think is about fair to determine a ballpark CR on the Nabassu. Though IF PCs let the thing feed hoping to XP farm, Cap the CR at the first time they let it go, if you award any xp at all for such an appauling act.</blockquote>
