Three tentacles sprout from each shoulder and two others from each thigh. Its head is adorned with a squid cap, two large bulbous eyes and a beak-like mouth.Cephalopals represent squids and octopi in the planar realms. Although often see as a bad omen for sailors, cephalopals are actually kind and gladly help others, mainly aquatic races. They live in the Oceanus river, yet some also make themselves at home in the Material Plane or the Elemental Plane of Water. Elysium is also a good place for cephalopals, yet they lives in rather deep waters. They are about 8 feet tall and weigh around 200 lbs.    Cephalopals speak Celestial, Infernal and Draconic, but can speak to almost any creature, thanks to their tongues ability. In addition, cephalopals speak more commonly Aquan.CombatAlthough not strong enough to battle single-handily, cephalopals often gang up against krakens and other giant sea creatures such as evil storm giants. Like other guardinals, they tolerate no evil, even if the source is huge. Sahuagins, kuo-tuas, aboleths and their skum minions are often hunted and darfellans and merfolks team up to help a cephalopal. Against a non-water breather, the cephalopal tries to grapple its foe and drown it. Against aquatic opponents, it batters them to death while crushing them.A cephalopal’s natural weapons, as well as any weapons it wields, are treated as good-aligned for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.Amphibious (Ex): Even if cephalopals are aquatic, they can survive indefinitely on land.Constrict (Ex): A cephalopal deals 1d4+7 points of damage with a successful grapple check.Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, a cephalopal must hit an opponent of Large size or smaller with a tentacle attack. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. If it wins the grapple check, it establishes a hold and can constrict.*A cephalopal has a +4 racial bonus on grapple checks.Ink Cloud (Ex): A cephalopal can emit a cloud of jet-black ink 20 feet high by 20 feet wide by 20 feet long once per minute as a free action. The cloud provides total concealment, which the squid normally uses to escape a losing fight. All vision within the cloud is obscured.Jet (Ex): A cephalopal can jet backward once per round as a full-round action, at a speed of 210 feet, or 105 feet if the leg tentacles are twisted. It must move in a straight line, but does not provoke attacks of opportunity while jetting.Lay on hands (Su): This ability works just like the paladin’s ability, but the cephalopal can heal as much damage per day as its own undamaged hit point total.Spell-like abilities: At will- aid, blur, detect evil, detect magic, light, magic circle against evil (self only), water breathing; 3/day- create water, cure light wounds (DC 13); Caster level 6th. The saves DC are charisma-based.*Skills: A cephalopal has a racial +5 to Escape Artist and a +10 bonus to Hide checks. A cephalopal has a +8 racial bonus on any Swim check to perform some special action or avoid a hazard. It can always choose to take 10 on a Swim check, even if distracted or endangered. It can use the run action while swimming, provided it swims in a straight line.Tentacle Twist (Ex): The cephalopal can twist its arm and leg tentacles to form stronger appendages. When wrapping its arms, it loses 2 tentacle attacks per arm, but gains a slam attack that deals damage as in one category larger and with 1-1/2 times the Strength bonus. When wrapping its legs, its swim speed is halved but its land speed increases by +10.AnuralSmall Outsider (Extraplanar, Good, Guardinal)HD: 5d8+10 plus 3 (35 hp)Initiative: +5Speed: 20 ft.

Its chest is humanoid-like, and its hands and feet are webbed. It also possesses large eyes and a dark green hide. Anurals swim through the ponds and rivers of Elysium with ease and joy. As the guardinal equivalent of frogs and toads, they often serve as messengers or good people willing to give information on a specific subject. They don’t really travel, preferring to stay at home without worrying about the world, but strong-willed anurals are common, making their way into the Material Plane and even following a group of adventurers. They are about the same size and weight of an halfling.    Anurals speak Celestial, Infernal and Draconic, but can speak to almost any creature, thanks to their tongues ability. In addition, anurals speak more commonly Aquan.CombatAnurals usually hide when trouble abound. Their Small size gives them an advantage when setting ambushes and traps. Black dragons and lizardfolks are the primary targets of an anural, and many have fell to a swarm of anurals. Anurals lash out with their tongue to grapple its targets and chew it to bits. They develop flanking and ambushing tactics.An anural’s natural weapons, as well as any weapons it wields, are treated as good-aligned for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, an anural must hit an opponent of Medium size or smaller with its tongue attack. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. If it wins the grapple check, it establishes a hold.Lay on hands (Su): This ability works just like the paladin’s ability, but the anural can heal as much damage per day as its own undamaged hit point total.Spell-like abilities: At will- aid, blur, detect evil, detect magic, light, magic circle against evil (self only), water breathing; 1/day- create water, cure light wounds (DC 13); Caster level 5th.

It is covered with scarce hair and its feet end with thick hooves. A greatsword is swung behind its back and its horns are engraved with runes.Bovinals are strong and bold, second to the leonal. They represent cows, bulls and other cattle animals and they value the lives of these creatures. Often mistaken for minotaurs, they lives in caves near plains, rarely showing themselves to travelers, yet they are helpful to them concerning directions and paths. They stand at 7 feet tall and weigh 250 lbs.    Bovinals speak Celestial, Infernal and Draconic, but can speak to almost any creature, thanks to their tongues ability. CombatBovinals are powerful fighters and they fight to the end. They charge into the fray and don’t let go of their targets. They usually wait before charging, in case they could fell into a trap. This tactic is however pushed aside when confronted to minotaurs and followers of Baphomet the demon prince. They don’t even think before charging; to them, these evil creatures deserve a quick and brutal death.A bovinal’s natural weapons, as well as any weapons it wields, are treated as good-aligned for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.Lay on hands (Su): This ability works just like the paladin’s ability, but the bovinal can heal as much damage per day as its own undamaged hit point total.Powerful Charge (Ex): A bovinal typically begins a battle by charging at an opponent, lowering its head to bring its horns into play. In addition to the normal benefits and hazards of a charge, this allows the guardinal to make a single gore attack with a +15 attack bonus that deals 4d6+9 points of damage.Spell-like abilities: At will- aid, detect evil, detect magic, light, magic circle against evil (self only), virtue; 3/day- bull’s strength, cure moderate wounds (DC 14); Caster level 9th.

It has long elliptical ears, a flat nose, small beady eyes and sharp fangs. It has leathery wings along its arms.Hailing from the darkest caves of Elysium is the mysterious chiropteral. If vampires represent the dark aspects of bats and darkness, chiropterals represent the good aspects. These bat-like guardinals serve as guides and travelling companions for travellers in caves. Desmodus and nycters sometimes see them as divine emissaries, while drows and other races see them as pets and divine invaders. They prefers dark areas, while not being sensitive to light, and the Material Plane and even the Elemental of Earth are good homes for chiropterals.    Chiropterals speak Celestial, Infernal and Draconic, but can speak to almost any creature, thanks to their tongues ability. CombatA chiropteral is rarely encountered alone. Like bats, a chiropteral is quite protective about its colony and all members defend one and other. They ambush their opponenets from above and, if possible, from dark areas. Like guardinals, a chiropteral hates evil. In this case, vampires and werebats are their prime targets. Many colonies masquerade as slaves for vampires, in order to turn on them and bite them to dust.A chiropteral’s natural weapons, as well as any weapons it wields, are treated as good-aligned for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.Wounding (Ex): Any living creature damaged by a chiropteral continues to bleed, losing 1 hit point per round thereafter. Multiple wounds do not result in cumulative bleeding loss. The bleeding can be stopped by a DC 10 Heal check or the application of a cure spell or some other healing magic.Blindsense (Ex): A chiropteral notices and locates creatures within 60 feet. Opponents still have total concealment against the chiropteral. If the blindsense is negated, the chiropteral must rely on its vision, which is as good as a human, with its normal darkvision. Lay on hands (Su): This ability works just like the paladin’s ability, but the chiropteral can heal as much damage per day as its own undamaged hit point total.Spell-like abilities: At will- aid, blur, detect evil, detect magic, magic circle against evil (self only); 1/day- darkness, cure light wounds (DC 13); Caster level 5th.

It has turtle-like traits, such as a beak-like mouth, stump-like legs and feet and a large shell that it wears almost like a clothe. It walks slowly and steadily and its eyes reflect kindness and calm.Testudals are guardinals who symbolize turtles, tortoises and other terrapin creatures throughout the planes. Slow, steady and often long-lived, testudals have time to watch the world and witness its events. They do not travel often preferring to stay in Elysium’s riverbanks. When summoned to the Material Plane, they help travellers with directions and, if the location is not too far, as guides. Druids, nymphs and dryads are good company for a tesdutal.    Testudals speak Celestial, Infernal and Draconic, but can speak to almost any creature, thanks to their tongues ability.CombatDue to its slow-moving gait on solid ground, testudals really initiate attacks, but never turn back on endangered creatures, and always rush to defeat an evil creature. Underwater, being faster, a testudal charges its opponents, which often surprise them. Skums, sahuagins and locathahs are the main enemies of the testudal, and its size and shell grant it a effective defense.A testudal’s natural weapons, as well as any weapons it wields, are treated as good-aligned for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.Hold Breath (Ex): A testudal can hold its breath for a number of rounds equal to 6 x its Constitution score before it risks drowning, such as 96 rounds, or almost 10 minutes. Lay on hands (Su): This ability works just like the paladin’s ability, but the tesdutal can heal as much damage per day as its own undamaged hit point total.Spell-like abilities: At will- aid, blur, detect evil, detect magic, light, magic circle against evil (self only), water breathing; 3/day mage armor, shield; 1/day- create water, cure light wounds (DC 13); Caster level 7th.

Its hands and feet are tipped with small but sharp claws and are partly webbed. Its scales are dark green and its eyes are an hybrid between the standard human and reptilian eye.Lacertals are the lizard equivalent of the guardinals. They live in the forests and deserts of Elysium, but they have been seen in other upper planes and the Material Plane. They usually spy on travellers before helping them or, at worse, striking them. They take their duties at heart, and usually are seen defending other creatures, regardless of strength. They patrol their domains thoroughly and often fight to the death to protect their territory, along with the creatures in it. Metallic dragons often choose lacertals as minions and lair guards.    Lacertals speak Celestial, Infernal and Draconic, but can speak to almost any creature, thanks to their tongues ability.CombatA lacertal strikes its foes from ambush, from the branches of a tree to underneath their feet in the sand. If the intruders flee, they chase them up the border of their home, at a slower speed not to catch them but to show them the exit. Against evil creatures, they show no mercy, regardless of health or size, eating them in order to clean the world of evil. Evil lizardfolk tribes, troglodytes and kobolds are the choice “meal” for the lacertal, as are green dragons.A lacertal’s natural weapons, as well as any weapons it wields, are treated as good-aligned for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.Chameleon Skin (Ex): A lacertal’s scales can shift tones and coloration to blend with its surrounding. This grants the lacertal a +8 bonus to Hide check (already featured above).

It has powerful arms ending in partially webbed hands. A large tail snakes at the end of its spine. Its scales are green and as hard as the toughest armor.Crocodals are the guardinals of all crocodiles and alligators in the planes. Living the rivers and marshes of Elysium, they lie in wait in the muddy water when hunting, making excellent hunters for travellers stranded in this part of plane. They work closely with lacertals when dealing with adventurers, but a lone crocodal can be a good guide when dealing with marshes. Their strength and hide are valued by those who summoned them to the Material Plane. Crocodals are about 7 feet tall, but 12 feet long when their massive tail is included. They weigh about 300 lbs.    Crocodals speak Celestial, Infernal and Draconic, but can speak to almost any creature, thanks to their tongues ability.CombatA crocodal surprises its opponents by jumping out of the water and grabbing them before dragging them into the bottom of their lakes.
