Verakoden

During the years when He Who Eats was destroyed, Verkoden started to make his move. He slowly enslaved people either through his abilities or by convincing them that he should lead them. His movements were slow and it wasn’t until he had taken a large potion of the communities near the equator that others started to realize something was.

Krakens strike their opponents with their barbed tentacles, then grab and crush with their arms or drag victims into their huge jaws.
Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, the kraken must hit an opponent of up to gargantuan size with an arm or tentacle attack. If it gets a hold, it can constrict.
Constrict (Ex): A kraken deals automatic arm or tentacle damage with a successful grapple check against gargantuan or smaller creatures.
Jet (Ex): A kraken can jet backward once per round as a double move action, at a speed of 840 feet.
Ink Cloud (Ex): A kraken can emit a cloud of jet-black ink 80 feet high by 80 feet wide by 120 feet long once per minute as a free action. The cloud provides total concealment, which the kraken normally uses to escape a losing fight. Creatures within the cloud suffer the effects of total darkness.

I'm using Savage Species and the templates in Dragon to create scads of new critters.

Hey, HIVEMIND, allow me to procure your talents to brainstorm on the following: what should I name the following races?

- anthropomorphic gorillas
- anthropomorphic baboons
- anthropomorphic squid (and giant squid) - my new baddies

The anthropomorphic squid remind me of the dreugh in Morrowind.

For the others, it depends on whose name for them we're talking about, I suppose. If it's the name usually given to them by humans it'll probably be something like 'forest-men', possibly 'demon apes' if tehy are suspicious of them. If its the name they call themselves, it could be something you can only really pronounce in hooting and other odd noises that humans aren't used to

Oh, your time is limited, fiend. You may think that nothing is wrong, that everything is okay. However, HAL was just the first part in a very long plan!! MuHahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fwah Blah. I been sayin' ta bring it on all day, an' I ain't been gnomed yet, for starters

Carnifex, I got a call right after I contacted him. I told him you were eager to speak with him but gave no message about getting on MSN or anything. Darn work gets in the way sometimes

The gorillas are relatively peaceful and keep to their forests, and the baboons tend to be rowdy and warlike. I'm using them both as relatives of the vanara.

I suppose that if your'e using them as relatives of the vanara, you could indicate the relation through the names. The other races could be called something along the lines of, day, 'vanara-ke' or 'vanara-aho' or something...
