Forgotten Realms: creatures that are not what they seem

[BOZ]

I am working on a theme for the Forgotten Realms for monsters that, at first, seem to be an object or something other than what they really are. I have come up with a few critters so far which have not yet been converted to 3.5; add to it any that you can think of.

Duleep, lock lurker, magebane, monkey-spider, palimpsest, peltast, ring-worm, skuz, winless wonder, xaver

What about the Greater Doppelganger? Isn't that an FR monster that hasn't been updated to 3.5E yet?

I think it's in Monsters of Faerun.

I think it's in Monsters of Faerun.

Monsters of Faerun is 3.0, not 3.5.

Monsters of Faerun is 3.0, not 3.5.

It's not, but it did receive the 3.5E update in the Player's Guide to Faerun web enhancement. I can't believe I missed that.

What about the gambado, those Springing Skulls of Doom (TM)?

I second the gambado, I used them to great effect during 2nd edition. It also fits with the "desert creatures" theme.

winless wonder

Gotta do this one first!

Since you have the Xaver, why not the Steel Shadow?

 

[John Q. Mayhem]

I believe Gambado are in the Tome of Horrors. Still'd need 3.5ization, though.

gambado would be interesting...
