An Undervile is a vile creature, it attacks devours any creature it can see, although it may retreat if seriously hurt.
Standing from 10-15 ft high, these gruesome creatures seemed to have come from other planes even though these are rumours, the it sprang from the underdark. It seems that nothing of this sort could be Toril born; both hands are squid like and have amazing grip, and crushing power. These octopi-appendages are 2 to 3 foot long and coated with a slimy substance. The mouth has 3 razor sharp talons around it also 3-4 foot long, which can undeniably crush metal, mounted close into the bone under the skin is a pair of beady red eyes, that disallow site towards the side. It has dinosaur-esque feet, 3 talons and a thumb; these feet are gigantic to keep the creatures balance, which it looses if it raises one to attack. Its skin is almost as hard as rock and any blows that get through are almost instantly ignored. It’s most distinguishing mark is the large (½-1 foot) spike on its elbow (Upper arm) which is rarely used in combat.

These are the malformed offspring of Wyvern and Black Dravern.
At a glance, it may pass as its Chromatic cousins, but after closer inspection, the subtle differences arise and it becomes apparent it is a hybrid. One of the most prominent differences is that the monsters scales twists and spikes shift sonic vibrations away from it, the wings are too small to carry it fast, although flight is possible. The usual poison in its tail is gone; the breeding with black Draverns has produced powerful acid in its place. As soon as you see its mouth, and the strange shape of its teeth, you realize
It must screech at its victims causing vibration that can rip apart flesh, knock a man out, or shatter stone.
Combat
Frightful Presence (Ex): A Dravern can unsettle foes with its mere presence. The ability takes effect automatically whenever the Dravern attacks, charges, or flies overhead. Creatures within a radius of 30 feet x 6 are subject to the effect if they have fewer HD than the Dravern.
A potentially affected creature that succeeds at a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 Dravern’s HD + Dravern’s Charisma modifier) remains immune to that Dravern’s frightful presence for one day. On a failure, creatures with 4 or fewer HD become panicked for 4d6 rounds and those with 5 or more HD become shaken for 4d6 rounds. Draverns ignore the frightful presence of other Draverns.
Acid: The Dravern can use the acid on its tail to deal 4d4 damage
Breath weapon: A Dravern can blast sonic energy in a cone up to 80 feet long. It can tune the harmonics of this destructive power to affect different types of targets.
• Flesh: Disrupting tissue and rending bone, this horrible attack deals 10d6 points of damage to all within the cone (Reflex half DC 20) and have a chance to be deafened permanently (Fortitude 25) If they made the Reflex save they need not take the Fort save.
• Nerves: The Dravern can knock out an opponent that does not make their Fortitude save (DC 30) and their Reflex save (DC 15); you need to fail both to be knocked out. If you only fail your Reflex you are unaffected, if you fail your Fortitude save your next 1d4+1 rounds you can only take partial actions.
• Material: All objects within the cone must succeed at a Fortitude save (DC 25) or shatter. Objects (or portions of objects) that have up to 30 hit points are potentially affected by this attack. Magic items are immune to this
Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, the Dravern must hit with both claw attacks. If it gets a hold, it hangs on and stings.
Snatch: If a Dravern gets a hold on a creature, four or more sizes smaller, it automatically deals damage with both claws and its sting attacks each round the hold is maintained. The Dravern can drop a creature it has snatched as a free action or use a standard action to fling it aside. A flung creature travels 30 feet and takes 3d6 points of damage. If the Dravern flings it while flying, the creature suffers this amount or falling damage, whichever is greater.
Special qualities: Dravern have scent, DR (5/+1), Sonics Immunity, Hover and Blindsight. It also gains Push back, once a round, as a free action, jump and flap its wings to move back 15 feet
Skills: *Draverns receive a +3 racial bonus to Spot checks when flying during daylight hours.

Most of a Flay worms life is spent not getting killed and the rest is eating, after an attack on their lair Flay worms will sit perfectly still digesting flesh they have bitten of or brain tissue.
Combat:
Once encountered, Flay worms swarm and jump at the attacking character, and latch on where ever they can, though most go straight for the head.
Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, the Flay worm must hit a Small to Large Creature with its tentacle attack. If it gets a hold, it attaches the tentacle to the opponent’s head. A Flay worm can grab a Huge or larger creature, but only if it can somehow reach the foe’s head. After a successful grab, the Flay worm can try to attach its remaining tentacles with a single grapple check. The opponent can escape with a single successful grapple check or Escape Artist check, but the Flay worm gets a +2 circumstance bonus for every tentacle that was attached at the beginning of the opponent’s turn.
Extract (Ex): A Flay worm that begins its turn with all 5 tentacles attached and successfully maintains its hold automatically cuts through an opponents head, in the next round it extracts the opponent’s brain, instantly killing that creature, if the creature is Huge or larger the process takes +1 rounds for ever Size category larger then large.

With a round mouth and 5 tentacles, it resembles a mindflayer, around a contractible moth. It has a long (1/3 of the body) flat end of the tail, that seem to be webbed spikes. Flay worms can jump high and often surprise large creatures. Young Flay worms have 10's of eyes along it, these fall of at the advancement to medium-sized to 4 eyes around the mouth, these are dirty cream to yellow with almost no pupil, At the size large they have no eyes. Most of a Flay worms life is spent not getting killed and the rest is eating, after an attack on their lair Flay worms will sit perfectly still digesting flesh they have bitten of or brain tissue.
