Start with 8 possed 4HD small  demon-coyotes.  Kill one and the survivors all heal 4d10. Kill a second one and they grow +1 size to Medium, heal another 4d10 and gain +2 attack/+5 damage, +2AC, +1 to all saves and 4HD.  Repeat until you get to a Huge 16HD demon-coyote.  It turns one encounter into a whole plot arc.  Especially as the demon summoner, if they exist, will eventually lose control as the possesed creatures' HD got too high.This also works for Undead like vampires.  Imagine a vampire making empowered servants (Renfields) rather than spawn.  Doing so weakens the vampire while they live but as their servants die, they reclaim their power and get stronger.</blockquote>
