If it pins the foe, it drains blood, dealing 1d4 points of Constitution drain each round. On each such successful drain attack, the vampire spawn gains 5 temporary hit points.Domination (Su): A vampire spawn can crush an opponent’s will just by looking onto his or her eyes. This is similar to a gaze attack, except that the vampire must take a standard action, and those merely looking at it are not affected. Anyone the vampire targets must succeed on a DC 14 Will save or fall instantly under the vampire’s influence as though by a dominate person spell from a 5th-level caster. The ability has a range of 30 feet. The save DC is Charisma-based.Energy Drain (Su): Living creatures hit by a vampire spawn’s slam attack gain one negative level. The DC is 14 for the Fortitude save to remove a negative level. The save DC is Charisma-based. For each such negative level bestowed, the vampire spawn gains 5 temporary hit points.Fast Healing (Ex): A vampire spawn heals 2 points of damage each round so long as it has at least 1 hit point. If reduced to 0 hit points in combat, it automatically assumes gaseous form and attempts to escape. It must reach its coffin home within 2 hours or be utterly destroyed. (It can travel up to nine miles in 2 hours.) Once at rest in its coffin, it is helpless. It regains 1 hit point after 1 hour, then is no longer helpless and resumes healing at the rate of 2 hit points per round.Gaseous Form (Su): As a standard action, a vampire spawn can assume gaseous form at will as the spell (caster level 6th), but it can remain gaseous indefinitely and has a fly speed of 20 feet with perfect maneuverability.Weaknesses: Vampire spawn are vulnerable to all attacks and effects that repel or slay vampires.[/sblock]These ghouls were assigned to another area of the cavern complex, guarding the hidden stairs that led down to the more important areas of the dungeon.[sblock=Assassin guards; CR 10 (x2)Ghoul rogue 3/assassin 6]CE Medium undeadInit +6; Senses darkvision 60 ft., low-light vision, Listen +10, Spot +11Languages Common, Draconic, Giant-----AC 22 (+4 Dex, +2 natural, +6 armor), touch 14, flat-footed 22; improved uncanny dodge, trap sense +1hp 71 (11 HD); turn resistance +2Immune ability damage (Str, Dex, Con), ability drain, critical hits, death effects, disease, effects that require Fort saves (unless the effect works on objects or is harmless), energy drain, fatigue, massive damage, mind-affect effects, nonlethal damage, paralysis, poison, sleep, stunningFort +3, Ref +12, Will +8; evasion, trap sense +1-----Spd 30 ft.

The save DC is Charisma-based. An afflicted humanoid who dies of ghoul fever rises as a ghoul at the next midnight. A humanoid who becomes a ghoul in this way retains none of the abilities it possessed in life. It is not under the control of any other ghouls, but it hungers for the flesh of the living and behaves like a normal ghoul in all respects. A humanoid of 4 Hit Dice or more rises as a ghast, not a ghoul.Paralysis (Ex): Those hit by a ghoul’s bite or claw attack must succeed on a DC 14 Fortitude save or be paralyzed for 1d4+1 rounds. Elves have immunity to this paralysis. The save DC is Charisma-based.Poison (Ex): Both ghouls have two doses of dragon bile poison. Given time, they coat their claws with this substance.
