A strange mist rises from the ground, wafting into a vaguely humanoid shape. As the head coalesces, it takes the form of a handsome young man.
A vapor lover is a creature native to the elemental plane of air. It superficially resembles a blob of mist approximately 6 feet across, but it can assume a humanoid shape at will. The form taken by a vapor lover is one that its potential victim might find pleasing based on the victim’s sex and race.
For reasons unknown, vapor lovers feed upon intelligent creatures native to the Material Plane. With but a touch, a vapor lover can sap the vitality of its victim, feasting upon its very life force. The touch of a vapor lover puts its victim into a strange state of ecstasy which makes it difficult to resist.
Combat
Vapor lovers prefer to attack lone victims as they sleep. In combat, a vapor lover attacks with its incorporeal touch or with its telekinesis. If it has selected a single victim from among many, a vapor lover prefers to levitate that victim out of reach of any assistance so it can feed at will.
Charm Person (Sp): 3/day — as the spell cast by a 12th level sorcerer. The save DC is 17.
Ecstatic Touch (Su): Any living creature touched by a vapor lover must succeed on a DC 17 Fortitude save or take 1d3 points of Constitution damage. Once touched, the victim must also succeed on a DC 19 Will save or be overcome with ecstasy. Such a victim must succeed on a DC 19 Will save or seek out the touch of the vapor lover to once more reach that height of sensation. This effect lasts for 1d6 rounds. Outside influences, such as companions shouting at or physically restraining the victim provide a +2 circumstance bonus to the victim’s save.
A creature brought to Constitution 0 by a vapor lover dies. The Fortitude save DC is Constitution-based and includes a +2 Ability Focus bonus, and the Will save DC is Charisma-based.
Levitate (Su): At will, a vapor lover can levitate a single creature as per the levitate spell as cast by a 6th level sorcerer. As stated in the spell’s description, the creature must be willing to be levitated, so a vapor lover is usually only able to use this ability on a victim that has been overcome by ecstasy or which it has previously charmed.
Elemental Traits (Ex): Immune to poison, sleep effects, paralysis, and stunning. Not subject to critical hits or flanking. Spells that restore souls to their bodies, such as raise dead, reincarnate, and resurrection, don’t work on an elemental. Only a limited wish, wish, miracle, or true resurrection can restore it to life. Darkvision out to 60 ft.
Incorporeal Traits (Ex): Can be harmed only by other incorporeal creatures, magic weapons or creatures that strike as magic weapons, or spells, with a 50% chance to ignore any damage from a corporeal source (except positive energy, negative energy, and force effects such as magic missile); can pass through solid objects at will, and own attacks pass through armor; cannot make trip or grapple attacks and cannot be tripped or grappled; do not set off traps triggered by weight; always moves silently and cannot be heard with Listen checks unless it wants to be; can move at full speed even when it cannot see.
Hmmm... I like it!
Sorry to bother you, especially with your condition as weakened as it is, but would you mind, awfully, posting up some alternative stats for an undead version of this creature?
Or, alternatively, is there a way I can alter the existing stats to get an undead version?
This just screams 'gothic love story' to me!

Vapor Lover: Undead version
It would work well as an undead creature, too. The changes wouldn't need to be too drastic.

I think this just about cover it except for two. The man with the white feathered wings and the fire breathing baby.

I guess my brain is enshrouded by fog. You're right I did forget about those.
