[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 6891084, member: 2209"] [b]Book of Beasts Legendary Foes[/b] [URL=http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/115564/Book-of-Beasts-Legendary-Foes-PFRPG?affiliate_id=17596]Book of Beasts Legendary Foes[/URL] Pathfinder 1e [b]Deific Guard:[/b] As the pharaohs of long ago ascended to godhood, they took their royal guards with them. Deific guards, as they were known, were mummified guardians left behind to protect the remains of the pharaoh or those that ascended into Abaddon with the ancient ruler. These warrior-priests are the unliving incarnation of the ancient pharaoh they once served. Only dwarves were chosen as deific guards in life, and they still retain some of their dwarf racial abilities in undeath.

A jack-in-irons is no mere ghost, but rather the spirit of a great general, powerful mercenary or bloody murderer that was tortured and died having been drawn and quartered.

[b]Shadow of the Void:[/b] A shadow of the void is an ancient shadow that burns with cold power, standing ready to suck out the life of any living creature it encounters. Many scholars consider a shadow of the void to be death incarnate, sent by the gods of death to be the last thing ever seen by their living victims. [b]Skeletal Storm:[/b] This deadly whirlwind of bones is believed to be the result of a failed attempt to create a lich. [b]Shadow Greater:[/b] If a creature is slain by a shadow of the void’s blightfire, icy fragments of the creature remain and it rises as a greater shadow. A living creature slain by a shadow of the void becomes a greater shadow in 1d4 rounds. [b]Banshee Witch 12:[/b] Bloody Bonnie is the spirit of an elven woman who was murdered by her philandering noble husband. When she violently confronted him about his infidelity, he clawed out her eyes and threw her from the highest tower of his castle.
