Red eyes appear in the darkness before you, and a loathsome creature shuffles towards you. It appears to be a horrid mixture of ape and hyena. It snickers in excitement as it extends its claws towards you...

Yawshaths are predators of the woodlands, occasionally taking up residence in some dungeon or subterranean temple. At night, the frightening hunting cries of Yawshaths are commonly heard.

 

[Eternalknight]

Hmm, i think the Yawshath's CR should be 1 higher.

You push aside the hanging vines that block your path. But then you notice they are twitching; with suddeness they lash out at you!

Haemodyl are plant-like creatures native to the Plane of Darkness. They resemble green hanging vines covered in moss; in truth, the moss hides many vicious barbs that are capable of shredding and tearing flesh.

A tree full of vicious bards? Sounds like a bad dream I had once... Do they smash you with their guitars? :wink: :lol:

Sorry, couldn't resist.

From above you hear a sound like thunder approaching. Looking up, you see the mighty form of a dragon; no, it's not just a dragon, it is the Dragonlord, ruler of all dragonkind!

Breath Weapon (su): Huan'zhor can breath a cone of fire every second round. This cone is 140 feet long and 70 feet wide at the end. Anyone caught in the area of effect must make a Reflex save (DC 40) or suffer 24d10 damage (half if the save is successful).

The King of Dragons, Huan'zhor the Dragonlord is one of Naar's favourite champions. In fact, as reward for the evil he has commited in the name of the God of Darkness, Naar rewarded him with his own realm upon the Plane of Darkness. Here, when not out hunting, Huan'zhor rests his great frame upon a nest of fire atop the 'Tree of the Wyrm'. His nest is surrounded by one of the richest treasure hoards in all of Aon, plunder he has stolen from the people of the many worlds he has halped conquer.

Nah, its just their horrible, Britney-esque singing that does it :twisted:

Kakarmi
Tiny Animal

Woohoo, the Kakarmi. The cutest Lone Wolf monster, aside from the Noodnics, of course.

But those vicious Haemodyl bards, just like all others, shall be devoured if they pass into the Frozen Land of Nador.

"Haemodyls of Nador - This Time, the Bards Eat YOU!!!"

Fixed the Yawshath's CR.

The honey of a Muntaag hive is extremely poisonous. Anyone ingesting it must make a Fortitude save (DC 16) or suffer 1d4 Strength and 1d4 Dexterity initial and secondary damage.

Rushing at a horrible speed along the stone passageway towards you is a gigantic, warty, grey-skinned hand. It extends its fingers towards you before it clenches itself into a fist.

Darklords, powerful evil spellcasters, and other forces of darkness often use Trakkas to hunt down and retrieve intruders in their lairs.

* Tracking purposes only.

 

[Eternalknight]

Whatbook are they from?

 

[Winter Wolf]

It sounds lik one of the beasties from book 7 Castle Death.

 

[Ordovician]

Yeah, I statted up the Giant Fist from Castle Death and just renamed it, since Tavig was talking about the Trakka and I reckoned that was it.

A growling, gurgling sound alerts you to the presence of danger behind you. Spining around, you see a hyena-like creature stalking you.

Plague spittle (su): A Ghazoul is able to spit a disease-infected glob of saliva at an opponent within 30 feet as a standard action. The target must make a Reflex save (DC 18 ) or be hit by it, in which case they must make an immediate Fortitude save (DC 15) or be infected with the Red Ache disease.

Diseased bite (ex): Any living creature bitten by a Ghazoul must make a Fortitude save (DC 15) or be infected with the Red Ache disease.

Rage (ex): When a Ghazoul takes damage, it goes into a berserk frenzy. A Ghazoul that takes damage gains a +4 bonus to Strength and Constitution and a +2 Will save bonus for ten rounds, after which time they suffer a -4 penalty to Strength and Constitution and a -2 penalty to Will saves due to exhaustion. This lasts for one hour.

Natives of the Plane of Darkness, Ghazouls are sabre-toothed hyena-like creatures. They have dark, evil eyes that burn with a deep crimson fire and claws as touch as steel. They are constantly drooling saliva, which is tainted with a nasty disease. They also seem to be constantly hungry, and are always on the prowl for warm flesh – their favourtie food.

 

[SableWyvern]

Found one you've missed: Sandsnake, from Fire on the Water. It's just a standard, venomous snake that inhabits the coasts of the Wild-Lands, but since there isn't a default snake in the book, might deserve a write-up.

Since I'm too lazy to actually do any such thing myself (I came to this thread planning to steal an already done sandsnake), I'll leave it to you monster-makers as to whether or not it's worthwhile adding it here.

 

[Eternalknight]

Care to give a paragraph so I can get a basic description? Saves me going through it

 

[SableWyvern]

63 and 8. Doesn't really say much though: It's a sandsnake, it's venom is deadly, and it enjoys the warmth of your Kai cloak as much as you.

The mist covering the rocks slowly coalesces into a shadowy form, its eyes glowing crimson. A deadly barbed flail is held in its hand. It howls and swings the flail’s massive head at you.

Finesse Attack (Ex): The Oudakon may use its Dexterity bonus on attack (but not damage) rolls, rather than Strength.

Frightful Presence: Before entering battle, an Oudakon utters an unnerving cry. This requires a Will save (DC 12).

Oudakon are undead warriors summoned from the same section of the Plane of Darkness as the Dhorgaan. They are used as guardians of treasures (and homes) by despicable spellcasters and Darklords.

Lying on the floor in front of you is a large, discolored hand. It has long, sharpened nails. Without warning, it leaps from the floor and flies at your head!

Partial Psychic Immunity: The Rahkos is immune to Mindblast, but not Psi-surge.

Relentless: The Rahkos may continue fighting unabated until it reaches -10 Endurance.

The Rahkos is a horrific predator. Their origins are a complete mystery; they seem to live for one thing, and one thing only - to feed on the brains of living creatures, extracted from their skulls while still alive. Add to that disturbing habit the notorious toughness of a Rahkos, and you have a lethal combination.
