[QUOTE="SpiralBound, post: 2464343, member: 8396"] Here's an idea: Take an Orc or Bugbear stats, take out anything that doesn't match the idea you had in mind, add anything that you feel they need (like bonuses to climbing and such), and then boost their stats (like strength or HP) until they reach the equivalent of CR 2 or 3. Since your concept is kinda vague and generalized, there really isn't much point in scratch-building a monster in every detail. Your time is better spent just grabbing a quick approximation of the creature you want, ("oh noes! They're CR 2.47, not CR 2!), letting the description and behaviour flesh them out, ("You see long limbed, shaggy forms emerge from the shadowy depths of the forest. Suddenly three of them let loose with a keening howl, leap into the limbs of a tree and start swinging towards you... Fast!"), and spending that saved time on the other aspects of your campaign that are more important to you. Good luck! :-) [/QUOTE]
