So I finished reading through Expedition to the Demonweb Pits and I come across a strange creature on page 49, a Wild Hunter.
I looked through a personal file of mine where I keep tabs on monsters produced by WotC/Paizo for 3E and I didn't find it anywhere. So I figured it was brand new. However, there's no description for it in the Appendix section of the book.
Strange.
So I looked on page 41 where they talk about the encounter with it and then read the encounter itself on page 49. There's absolutely no description of it, no picture, nothing. Just a vague mention of it being humanoid and that it rides a megaloceros and attacks the PCs in the Beastlands.
So I study the entry for the Wild Hunter. No entry states what book it's from. And I don't even recognize it by memory (and I have a keen memory when it comes to which creatures exist and don't exist in 3E). It has the following statistics:
NE Medium Fey with 20 HD and CR 9, darkvision 90 ft., DR 5/cold iron, fights with ranseur and composite longbow, 40 ft. base speed, spell resistance 20. It possesses abilities that obviously make it a creature suited for mounted combat. It's mount gains a deflection bonus to AC equal to the Wild Hunter's Charisma modifier, it can charge on its mount along rough terrain and doesn't have to be a straight line, deals an extra 2d6 damage with ranged attacks made with a bow, can use a horn to blow a blast of sound that shakens creatures within 60 ft, and can use a swift action 3/day to designate one target as its "selected prey" and gaining a significant boost to its attack and damage rolls against that target and all critical threats made against it are automatically critical hits.
So what and where did this creature come from? Is it a new creature from Monster Manual V!?
