Running along the forest path towards you is a massively built wolf-like creature, its head down. It rams into you and begins its merciless attack.

Burning Saliva (Ex): A Hound of Death has fiery spittle and deals an additional 1d3 points of fire damage on a successful bite.

Partial Psychic Immunity (Ex): A Hound of Death is immune to Mindblast, but not Psi-surge.

Hounds of Death (also known as Oudaska) are native to the forests of Dessi and other lands around the Tentarias. Unlike their cousins the wolves, Hounds of Death are fiercely independent and always battle each other when they come into contact with each other.

Advancement: 8-14 ED (Huge), 15-20 ED (Gargantuan)

A huge creature, like a ghastly mix of worm and toad, drags itself into the sunlight. Jagged horns crown the shoulders of its clawed feet, and it is covered in oozing, pus-filled sores.

Frightful Presence: Triggered by the Zagothal’s croak (with which it usually opens combat), Will DC 15. The save DC is Charisma-based.

Poison: Contact, Fortitude DC 21, initial and secondary damage 1d4 Dex. The save DC is Constitution-based. When underwater, a Zagothal’s poison becomes an aura, affecting all creatures within 20 feet of the creature as though they were in contact with it.

Zagothal are repulsive amphibians found along tropical river and lakesides. Often, they are simply basking in sunlight or moonlight, and usually ignore adventurers unless hungry.

Swimming through the river comes a ridged back. It comes out of the water and you see that it is a large lizard, with a small head-shield and two large horns. A forked tongue flicks in and out of its mouth.

Enormous lizards found in the Hellswamp and other marshy regions, Gorodons are leftovers from some long-forgotten age of Magnamund’s history. Some sages believe they are related to the Kwaraz of Maakenmire. They are often hunted and and killed by soldiers of Eru, as their scaly hide makes for an effective suit of armor.

Something breaks the water from behind you. Spinning around, you see several arachnids coming at you!

The spider-like Avagnids are merciless hunters, tracking and stalking prey like wolves. They are the size of a large dog, and have vicious barbed forelegs. Their eyes are somewhat unnerving; instead of the eyes of a spider, they have four human-like eyes.

A sickening tide of maggot creatures is approaching you in a slow wave. They are disgusting, almost making you wretch.

Distraction (ex): Anyone in the Nemagog swarms space at the start of their turn must make a Fortitude save (DC 13) or be nauseated for one round. Spellcasting or using a skill that requires concentration requires a Concentration check of DC 20 inside the swarms space.

Often summoned and controlled by sorcerers devoted to the Dark Arts, a swarm of Nemagog resembles are sickening carpet of maggots. Fighting one is definatley not something anyone forgets in a hurry.

===============================================

And that is it for Curse of Naar. I too left out the unique creatures such as Zantaz and Kekataag and pretty much anything that would have class levels, as they would be better as NPCs. I did do Huan'zhor however.

From up ahead comes the roar of a large cat. When the creature comes into view, you cannot believe what you are seeing – a massive tiger-like beast is bounding towards you!

Pounce (ex): If a Rahjaz charges, it may make a full attack that round.

The sight of a Rahjaz charging towards you is enough to fill even the bravest of warriors with fear. They are massive tiger-beasts, standing around seven feet tall at the shoulder. They are aggressive and always hungry.

An arrow suddenly whistles passed your face. Spinning around, you see a small, blue reptilian creature reloading its bow.

The blue-skinned Knoarcs resemble humanoid crocdiles, though with human, rather than reptilian, hands. They are primitive, making use of bone swords and their specially crafted bone Knoarc bows, whih are capable of firing six arrows every round at the same target (they must make a seperate attack roll for each arrow). However, it does take one round per arrow to reload these bows. Often, Knoarcs use greenblood oil poison on their arrows.

You can see your enemy ahead, waiting for you. As you approach the sevrant of Naar, he summons several rubbery-limbed horrors and directs them to attack you.

The creatures known as Crypodeans are creations of none other than Naar himself. They live only to do his, and his minions, bidding. They attack with their razor sharp claws and mouths filled with needle-like fangs. They are also hard to kill – their rubbery bodies seem to absorb damage.

An in-human, blood-curdling howl is your first indication of danger. Your second comes as a huge, shadowy thing gcomes swiftly towards you, fangs gleaming.

Natural Concealment (su): The blurriness of a Katakas form makes them hard to hit. Any attack on them has an automatic 20% chance of missing.

No one is quite sure what a Kataka looks like. When they attack, they are seen as nothing more than black blurry shapes, with the occasional glint of fangs as the creature tries to rip its victim apart. The howling noise has lead some to believe that it is some sort of canine, but it is impossible to tell.

*Kataka have a +8 racial bonus to Stealth checks.

From out of the darkness, a metallic wolf lunges at you. The smell of oil and the sound of gears and cogs overwhelms your senses as you fumble for a weapon.

Created as guardian creatures by the forces of Darkness, Mech-wulfs resemble normal wolves in every way except for the fact that they are made of metal, cogs and gears. Their eyes are gems that radiate an eerie yellow light, and oily saliva drips from their metal fangs.

It would also be nice if contributors added the volume from which the monster was taken.

It's in my version, which is the UK one, so I guess so
