[QUOTE="Shemeska, post: 6297415, member: 11697"] Pathfinder ceustodaemons (aka guardian daemons/guardian yugoloths) are threatening, but for a variety of reasons they aren't particularly frightening right out of the book. I wanted to use one in a demiplane my players were locked within. They find this thing locked within a warded cell, begging to be released, threatening them if they didn't let it out. They don't consider the situation all that worrisome, and then they notice that the fiend is spattered in its own blood, and its back and spinal column show signs of massive surgical intervention. They hold up a light and see the inside of its cell where it has compulsively written the following over and over and over again on the walls in its own blood: "Never change. Never grow old. Never sleep. Never dream. Never rest. Never hope. Never die. Please PLEASE LET ME DIE!" Creeped them the hell out as they realized that something else, something unknown, has been tinkering with the fiend like a living toy. No mechanics at all used there, but the delivery helped set the stage for when they encountered the thing that was responsible. [/QUOTE]
