In my early days of gaming it was central to an encounter that has stuck with me. It was the first time I ever felt real fear in a game and the creeper has been a staple for me ever since.The original Fiend Folio always felt different than the other books. I still have two copies. The art was somehow grittier and more fantastic than the Monster Manual. With the exception of the flumph and the chaotic good tendencies of the booka and killmoulis there were no good creatures. And most of the creatures were weird, dangerous, and sometimes incredibly outlandish.I don't know that I've ever used a Frostman or an Elemental Prince of Evil but I know I've used Dire Corbies (against my friend Corby no less) and Jermlaine and Tabaxi and Kenku and whatever the hell else.I think your ethergaunt fits in with the original feeling of the Fiend Folio. Their alien physiognomy, overly mindful agenda of extermination, and psychogenic technology paints a memorable villain. I've always thought Doubt Bomb would be a great name for a band.My only problem has been that they are too powerful for the usual levels I run my games at. But that's not really a fault.</blockquote>
