The deities of Sumerian, Babylonian, and Persian pantheons employ THING as guardians. THING are normally faithful creatures, but while renowned as guardians, they sometimes covet what they guard a little too fiercely.THING on the mortal planes are always summoned, although they sometimes find ways around their magical servitude and can be found living free in the wild. These free THING are somewhat less benign than most guardians. They prefer to live in high places, with tops of ziggurats and temples favored over natural formations. When a temple is unavailable, they try to build their own crude versions.Free THING are sometimes the objects of local veneration by small cults, who bring them sacrifices of meat and wine, which they enjoy. THING also enjoy frightening and intimidating mortals, even when they have no interest in hurting them.CombatPounce (Ex): If an THING dives or leaps upon a foe during the first round of combat, it can make a full attack even if it has already taken a move action.Rake/Improved Grab (Ex): An THING that makes a flyby attack can make two rake attacks (+17 melee) with its hind talons for 1d6+4 slashing damage each, still performing a full move, without provoking an attack of opportunity. If both talons hit the same target, the THING may do an improved grab against the target, attempting to life him into the air. It can drop the creature as a free action.Spell-like Abilities: An THING can cast the following spells: magic aura, misdirection (three times per day); discern location, instant summons, vanish (once per day); as a 16th level spellcasterDeflect Missiles (Ex): An THING can deflect any normal incoming missiles by making a Reflex save (DC10 + the opponent's ranged attack bonus). It may perform this as a free action.Skills: THING receive a +4 racial bonus on Jump and Spot checks.#44need 2 featsHuge Magical BeastHit Dice: 6d8+12 (39 hp)Initiative: +4Speed: 20 ft.Armor Class:  15 (-2size, +4 Dex, +3 natural)Attacks: Bite +5 meleeDamage: Bite 1d4 and poisonFace/Reach: 15 ft. by 15 ft.(coiled)/10 ft.Special Attacks: Confusing gaze, poison, taste victim, spell-like abilitiesSpecial Qualities: Keen senses, night healing, scent, unholy armor +4, Detect GoodSaves: Fort +5, Ref +8, Will 2Abilities:   Str 10,  Dex 19, Con 15, Int 8, Wis 12, Cha 4Skills: Balance +12, Climb +12, Hide +3, Listen +9, Spot +9Feats: Weapon Finesse (bite)Environment: Temperate and warm landOrganization: SolitaryChallenge Rating: 3Treasure: NoneAlignment: Always neutral evilAdvancement: 5-6 HD (Huge); 7-12 HD (Gargantuan)THING are desert-dwelling creatures living in deep burrows. THING are the offspring of the Egyptian pantheon's greatest enemy the serpent Apep (who attempts to swallow the chariot of Amun Ra every day but is beaten back).THING frequently approach civilaized areas looking for victims, devouring children, blinding women and priests, and attacking temples. THING often come out in storms and eclipses by rampaging through human settlements.CombatPoison (Ex): The bite of THING is poisonous, doing initial and secondary damage of 1d6 temporary Constitution and blindness, unless a Fort save (DC14) is made. Furthermore, if an THING spends a full round licking an opponent with its tongue before biting (a separate attack roll is required), the victim ets a -4 penalty to his poison saving throw.Confusing Gaze (Sp): Once per day, as a free action, an THING can stare directly into an opponent with 30 ft. facing. If the target makes eye contact with the THING (Reflex save at DC 18 to avoid gaze), he must make a Fort save (DC 13)or fall under the effects of a confusion spell.Spell-like Abilities: An THING can cast blindness or deeper darkness three times per day as a 5th level cleric.Night Healing (Su): THING are able to draw healing from the dark. At night, or within the fastness of its darkness, they have fast healing 5.Keen Sense (Ex): THING can see four times as well as humans in low-light conditions but only half as well in normal light. They also have darkvision 100 ft.**Detect Good: An THING prefers to kill good things. It can cast detect good at will as an 8th level caster.Unholy Armor (Su): THING have a +4 profane Armor Class bonus against holy creatures: angels, celestials, and those wielding holy weapons.#45need 3 feats (I will probably make the Snatch ability into the feat of the same name - Monster Manual p304)Huge Magical BeastHit Dice: 16d10+98 (186hp)Initiative: +2Speed: 20 ft., fly 80 ft.

Its red and purple plumage (highlighted by occasional tongues of flame coming out from beneath the feathers) is glorious beyond compare. Its nest is composed of the finest woods. Even its dropping are precious. Its dance is the most beautiful sight that the Egyptians gods permit to exist in the world.The THING is not a predator; it only fights in self-defense or when an obviously hostile intruder gets too close to its nest. Some seek the THING for its treasures; others seek it just so they can behold it.The THING dwells in high hills, sometimes close to flaming mountains, where its dance is said by some to cause earthquakes.CombatSnatch (Ex): A THING that hits a creature of Small or Medium size with a claw attack attempts to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. If the THING achieves a hold, it can fly off with its prey and automatically make a beak attack each round in lieu of a claw attack. It can drop a snatched creature as a free action.Glorious Dance (Su): A THING may spend a full round action dancing in place, fanning its feather flames with its wings. This dance is so beautiful that a creature with 8 Hit Dice or less that comes within 30 ft. of the dancing THING must make a Will save (DC19) or die, and any creature with between 8 and 16 Hit Dice must make an identical save or be slowed. Those with more than 16 Hit Dice are immune to this effect. While it is dancing, the flames serve as a fire shield (warm) as cast by a 20th level sorcerer.Pyre (Su): When a THING dies (its natural lifespan is a thousand years) or is slain, the flames that constantly surround it expand and intensify to consume its body. Everyone within 120 ft. (even those with evasion or improved evasion) takes 16d6 points of fire damage; a Reflex save (DC 26) halves damage.24 hours after its death, a new THING rises out of the ashes of the old. It then encases the ashes of its predecessors in an egg of myrrh and takes it to the altar of the sun god Amun-Ra in Heliopolis. The egg is worth a great fortune, but anyone interruption its journey is cursed by the gods of Egypt. *Everything is great except for that last part to Heliopolis. Can you think of something more generic in its place?Luminous (Su): The THING constantly radiates a rosy dawn light in a 200-foot radius. There are no shadows in this light. No magical spell or force short of a god's power can dispel the light of a THING.#46need 1 featLarge AberrationHit Dice: 8d8+16 (52hp)Initiative: +3Speed: 40 ft.Armor Class:  21 (-1size, +3 Dex, +3 banded mail, +6 natural)Attacks: 2 claws +10 melee, 1 tail +8, longsword +8/+3 meleeDamage: Claws 2d6+4, tail 1d6+3, longsword 1d8+3Face/Reach: 5 ft. by 10 ft./5 ft.Special Attacks: Aura of Fear, death gaze, constrict, improved grab, poisonSpecial Qualities: Acid, cold, and fire resistance 15, DR 10/+2, SR20, darkvision 60ft.Saves: Fort +6, Ref +7, Will 12Abilities:   Str 19 Dex 17, Con 15, Int 14, Wis 14, Cha 8Skills: Climb +8, Intimidate +7, Hide +6, Listen +8, Sense Motive +8, Spot +8Feats: Multiattack, Power AttackEnvironment: Temperate and warm hills and mountainsOrganization: Solitary or pairChallenge Rating:  9Treasure: NoneAlignment: Always neutralAdvancement: 12-16 HD (Huge)THINGs have the torsos of men mounted on the bodies of giant scorpions. The human half is typically armored in a banded mail shirt and armed with a gleaming bronze longsword.THINGs are said to watch over the road to Shamash, the land of the Babylonian sun god. They are fearless defenders, totally obedient to their cause and to the gods whom they serve. THINGs may be summoned though lesser planar ally spell.CombatPoison (Ex): A THING's tail stinger's poison has initial and secondary damage of 1d8 Str (Fort save of DC 26).Death Gaze (Su): Once per day, a THING can take a full action and stare directly into an opponent's face. If the target makes eye contact with the THING (Reflex save DC 17 to avoid gaze), he must make a Fort save (DC16) or immediately die.Aura of Fear (Su): A THING continually radiates an aura of fear in a 60-ft. radius. Those within the area must make a Will save (DC16) every round; failure results in the victim being panicked for 2d4 rounds and attempting to flee; those who successfully save are shaken while within the confines of the fear aura.Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, a THING must hit a creature its own size or smaller with its claw attack. It if gets a hold, it hangs on and stings its opponents.Constrict (Ex): A THING that gets a hold on an opponent of its size or smaller automatically deal damage with both claws, stinging at its full attack value.</blockquote>
