Monster Descriptions

Statistics

Monsters are described by the following statistics.

Finally, if the bolded name includes a definite article, such as “The,” then that word is treated as the first word for alphabetizing purposes. For example, The Guzzler appears in section T, not G.

Armor Class (AC)

The monster’s ability to avoid damage in combat.

Ascending AC: The optional AAC score is listed afterwards in square brackets.

Hit Dice (HD)

The number of d8s rolled to determine an individual’s hit points.

Asterisks: One or more asterisks after the HD number indicate the number of special abilities the monster has, for the purpose of XP calculation.

Hit point modifiers: Modifiers to the HD (e.g. +3, –1) are applied to the hp total after rolling the specified number of d8s. Monsters with a hit point modifier are treated specially by some spells.

Fractional Hit Dice: Some monsters are listed as having less than one HD, either as ½ (roll 1d4) or as a fixed number of hp.

Average hit points: The average hit point value is listed in parentheses.

Attacks Usable Per Round (Att)

The attacks that the monster can use each round, with the inflicted damage in parentheses. (Note that monsters’ attack and damage rolls are not modified by STR or DEX, unless specified.)

Alternative attack routines: Are noted with “or” or square brackets.

Saving Throw Values (SV)

The monster’s saving throw values:

D: Death/poison.
W: Wands.
P: Paralysis/petrification.
B: Breath attacks.
S: Spells/rods/staves.

Save as HD: The HD at which the monster saves is listed in parentheses (with NH indicating that it saves as a normal human). This is usually the monster’s HD rating, but sometimes differs:

Unintelligent monsters: Typically save at half their HD rating.
Magical monsters: May save at a higher HD rating.
Character classes: Some monsters save as a character class. In this case, the class and level are listed.

Attack Roll “to Hit AC 0” (THAC0)

The monster’s ability to hit foes in combat, determined by its Hit Dice (see Attack Matrix).

Attack bonus: The monster’s attack bonus (required when using the optional rule for Ascending AC) is listed afterwards in square brackets.

Movement Rate (MV)

The speed at which the monster can move. Every monster has a base movement rate and an encounter movement rate (noted in parentheses, one third of the base movement rate).

Modes of movement: If the monster has multiple modes of movement (e.g. walking, flying, climbing), they are listed individually, separated by slashes.

Morale Rating (ML)

The monster’s likelihood to persist in battle. See Morale.

Alignment (AL)

The monster’s affiliation to Law, Neutrality, or Chaos. If “any” is listed, the referee may roll randomly or choose the creature’s alignment.

XP Award (XP)

Pre-calculated XP award for defeating the monster.

Number Appearing (NA)

Listed as two values, the second in parentheses.

Zeros: If the first value is a zero, monsters of this type are not usually encountered in dungeons. If the second value is a zero, monsters of this type are not usually encountered in the wilderness and do not usually have lairs.

Usage: The use of these values depends on the situation in which monsters are encountered:

Wandering monsters in a dungeon: The first value determines the number of monsters encountered roaming in a dungeon level equal to their HD. If the monster is encountered on a level greater than its HD, the number appearing may be increased; if encountered on a level less than its HD, the number appearing should be reduced.
Monster lair in a dungeon: The second value lists the number of monsters found in a lair in a dungeon.
Wandering monsters in the wilderness: The second value indicates the number of monsters encountered roaming in the wilderness.
Monster lair in the wilderness: The second value multiplied by 5 indicates the number of monsters found in a lair in the wilderness.

Treasure Type (TT)

The letter code used to determine the amount and type of treasure possessed by the monster(s) (see Treasure Types). The letters listed are used as follows:

A to O: Indicate a hoard: the sum wealth of a large monster or a community of smaller monsters, usually hidden in the lair. For monsters with a lair encounter size (see Number Appearing) of greater than 1d4, the amount of treasure in the hoard may be reduced, if the number of monsters is below average.
P to V: If listed for an intelligent monster, indicate treasure carried by individuals (P to T) or a group (U, V). If listed for an unintelligent monster, indicate treasure from the bodies of its victims.

General Notes

Infravision

All non-human monsters have infravision (see Darkness). Unless specified in a monster’s description, this allows monsters to see in the dark up to 60’.

Languages

20% of intelligent monsters speak Common (see Languages), unless the monster description states otherwise. Many intelligent monster species also have their own tongue.

Persons

Some spells or magical effects only affect creatures classified as “persons”. This includes all humans and demihumans, as well as human-like monsters of up to 4+1 HD. The referee should decide which monsters are affected (a suggested list is given overleaf).

Caterprism

Source TOEH

A caterprism is a caterpillar made of crystal with hexagonal body segments and twelve sharply angled legs. Each body segment is about 2-foot-long and contains a single pair of legs. The head of a caterprism is caterpillarlike, with large faceted eyes and huge mandibles.

AC 3 [16]; HD 6** (27 hp); Att 4 x legs (1d8), 1 x bite (1d6) or crystal silk (3d6); THAC0 14 [+5]; MV 90 (30); SV D10 W11 P12 B13 S14 (6); ML 10; AL Neutral; XP 725; NA 1 (1d2); TT T

Crystal mandibles: An attack roll of 20 on its bite attack severs the head from its target.
Crystal silk: 20 ft. long x 20 ft. wide cone. A caterprism can spew forth a crystalline silk that instantly solidifies into a rock-like substance impaling creatures as it hardens. Save vs. breath for half. Can be used three times per day.

Cave Fisher

Source TOEH

The cave fisher is a 7-foot-long insect-like creature with a hard outer shell. It has eight legs, two of which end in serrated pincers. The cave fisher lairs on ledges and cliffs underground, where it can quickly strike and reel in its prey. Its lair is always littered with bones and gear from its previous victims.

AC 3 [16]; HD 3* (13 hp); Att 2 x claws (1d6) or filament; THAC0 17 [+2]; MV 60 (20); SV D12 W13 P14 B15 S16 (3); ML 8; AL Neutral; XP 50; NA 1d4 (2d4); TT None

Filament: 60 ft. range. Save vs. wands or become stuck in the filament. Creatures stuck can be reeled in towards the cave fisher at a rate of 10 ft. per round.
Filament trap: The cave fisher’s preferred method of attack is to string its filament across the ground of its lair. Creatures have a 1-in-6 chance to spot the filament (2-in-6 for elves). Creatures wandering into the area covered become stuck.
Breaking filaments: Filaments are AC 2 [17] with 10 hp and can be cut by slashing weapons. An application of strong alcohol dissolves the filaments adhesive freeing a held creature.

Cave Leech

Source TOEH

Cave leeches measure about 8-feet-long and have a flattened semi- translucent body colored a sickly yellow or pale gray. Eight whiplike tentacles, each about 6-feet-long protrude from the cave leech’s body near its head.

Hundreds of smaller tentacles line its body and aid in locomotion. The cave leech has a large, round mouth ringed with dozens of razor-like teeth.

AC 9 [10]; HD 5 (22 hp); Att 8 x tentacles (1d4 + blood drain) or 1 x bite (1d6); THAC0 15 [+4]; MV 30 (10); SV D10 W11 P12 B13 S14 (5); ML 10; AL Neutral; XP 175; NA 1d4 (2d4); TT U

Blood drain: Attaches to victim on a successful hit, automatically doing 1d4 damage per round for each tentacle attached.
Detaching: A cave leech must be killed to detach it.
If victim dies: Leech detaches and finds a hidden place to digest.

Eight Recipes to Make from a Cave Leech d8 Result 1 Saliva is anticoagulant; poison that causes extra point of bleeding damage (until magically healed) 2 Blood pudding that gives a constituion bonus 3 Teeth can be ground into something that gives an attack bonus 4 The husk can be huffed to improve tracking 5 Tentacle spaghetti for ogres (if given to Ogres, gives a bonus to charisma checks for the character offering) 6 Potion/poison allowing one to make blood-draining attacks 7 Soup to attract vampires 8 Make potion from smaller exterior tentacles that allow Move 30 (10) while prone or supine (Potion of Slithering) – allows you to slither through gaps as if you are smaller

Cherum

Source TOEH

This hairless mountain of slick raw burning flesh constantly sizzles and oozes with the stench of burning fat. Two long meaty arms sprout from a hugely obese frame; its head appears to be little more than a bald sloping brow with black pits for eyes. Its maw splits open to reveal cavernous jaws, teeth glowing like huge red hot coals. A cherum stands about 70 feet tall and weighs well over 40,000 pounds.

AC -3 [22]; HD 24**** (108 hp); Att 2 x claws (2d8 + 1d6 fire), 1 x bite (4d6 + 1d6 fire); THAC0 5 [+14]; MV 60 (20); SV D2 W2 P2 B2 S2 (24); ML 12; AL Neutral; XP 10,500; NA 1 (1); TT T

Immunities: Immune to poison and fire-based attacks.
Cold vulnerability: Takes double damage from cold-based attacks.
Fiery aura: 40 ft. radius. Any creature within range takes 6d6 points of fire damage each round from the blazing heat radiating off the creature’s body. Save vs. breath for half.
Swallow whole: An attack roll of a 20 on its bite attack indicates a human-sized (or smaller) victim is swallowed.
Inside the cherum’s belly: Suffer 4d6 damage per round (until the creature dies); may attack with sharp weapons at -4 to hit; body digested in 6 turns after death.
Thermal regeneration: Regains 5 hp per round while in contact with flame or lava.
Magic resistance: +6 to all saving throws versus magic effects.

Cliessid

Source TOEH

The amphibious Cliessid are small, shelled humanoids with pincers in place of hands, three thick toes on each leg in a Y-shape, and a mass of writhing tentacles in place of a head. They stand no taller than a man’s knee. Cliessids live in sluggish rivers, shallow streams, stagnant ponds, and sewer systems, and can move as fast in, or under, the water as on land. Some cities have imported and domesticated these creatures for use in sewer maintenance, but with mixed results, for cliessids are viciously hostile to any who invade their territory.

AC 6 [13]; HD ½ (3 hp); Att 2 × pincers (1); THAC0 19 [+0]; MV 180 (60), 180 (60) swimming; SV D14 W15 P14 B17 S18 (NH); ML 7; AL Neutral; XP 5; NA 1d8 (2d8); TT None

Territorial: Ferociously defend their lair with violence.

Clockworks

Source TOEH

Clockworks are the creations of powerful machines called brain gears.

Each clockwork creature varies from its brethren and each is assigned a task by the brain gear that created it. Clockworks are automatons and follow orders without question. It is through these various clockwork creations that brain gears seek to destroy all living creatures. They come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes.

Clockwork Brain Gear

Source TOEH

The original brain gear began as little more than a collection of gears, chains, counterweights, and levers, but was enhanced and grown into a controlling intellect through a process very similar to flesh golem creation.

A brain gear in its true form resembles nothing more than a copper or gold box or cube that shines with a pale blue light. It is immobile, cannot attack, or speak.

A brain gear is designed to control the actions of all other clockworks created by its own creator, relieving the creator of having to oversee simple operations of the clockworks. It is rumored that some brain gears occasionally develop an evil intellect and turn their charges against its creator.

AC 2 [17]; HD 5* (40 hp); Att None; THAC0 NA [NA]; MV 0 (0); SV D10 W11 P12 B13 S14 (5); ML 12; AL Neutral; XP 300; NA 0 (1); TT None

Immobile: Unable to move on its own. It is also unable to make any attacks.
Mute: Unable to communicate except through the dream link or remote senses abilities.
Damage resistance: Half damage from all physical attacks (minimum 1).
Immunities: Unharmed by gas and poison; unaffected by charm, hold, and sleep spells.
Control clockworks: 2 mile range. Any clockwork that comes within range immediately falls under a brain gear’s control. If another brain gear attempts to control that clockwork (or if it is already under the control of another brain gear or overseer), each must make a save vs. spells. The brain gear beating its saving throw by the most gains control of that clockwork. If a controlled clockwork moves out of range it continues to perform the last order given to it but there is a 25% chance each hour that it ceases to function, collapsing into a pile of junk. If a brain gear later moves within range of the destroyed clockwork, it can reactivate if it has the self-repair ability. Otherwise, it remains destroyed.
Dream link: 2 mile range. Has a limited ability to send psychic messages to multiple creatures of a particular type (human, ogre, etc) through their dreams.
Remote senses: 2 mile range. A brain gear in control of at least one clockwork can use it to perceive the world through its senses. It is able to give commands to its clockworks allowing the usually mindless creatures to fight with highly coordinated tactics. Each clockwork is only capable of receiving roughly 100 words worth of orders or they become too complicated for the clockwork to act upon. The link may be moved from one clockwork to another once per round.
Magical origins: Created by powerful wizards and clerics.

Clockwork Drone

Source TOEH

Clockwork drones appear as human eyeballs encased within flat, metal disks. Imbued with magic that allows it to fly, a drone’s approach is announced by a low buzzing sound caused by its tiny gears and pistons working furiously to maintain this magical field. These clockworks are designed to act as observers.

When a drone finds an advantageous position from which to maintain its watch, it uses a small, metallic claw on its underside to attach itself to a surface.

AC 2 [17]; HD ½* (2 hp); Att 1 x slam (1d3); THAC0 19 [+0]; MV 90 (30), 240 (80) flying; SV D14 W15 P16 B17 S18 (NH); ML 12; AL Neutral; XP 6; NA 0 (1d4); TT None

Immunities: Unharmed by gas and poison; unaffected by charm, hold, and sleep spells.
Pacifist: Drones usually avoid combat at all costs. If pressed into fighting, they prefer to aid their fellow clockworks by distracting their enemies.
Brain gear link: 2 mile range. Must remain in ranger communicate or continues its last order but has a 25% chance each hour that it ceases to function, collapsing into a pile of junk.
Magical origins: Created by clockwork brain gears.

Clockwork Overseer

Source TOEH

Overseers are a recent invention of the brain gears. They look like 3-foot-tall wooden dolls with long, slender limbs.

AC 2 [17]; HD 2* (9 hp); Att 1 x slam (1d6); THAC0 18 [+1]; MV 150 (50); SV D12 W13 P14 B15 S16 (2); ML 12; AL Neutral; XP 25; NA 0 (1d2); TT None

Immunities: Unharmed by gas and poison; unaffected by charm, hold, and sleep spells.
Extended senses: 10 mile range. Able to maintain contact with a brain gear at an extended range.
Field commander: 100 ft. range. Acts as relay for a brain gear. Can control up to 20 HD worth of clockworks within range as long as it also remains within 10 miles of the brain gear.
Pacifist: Overseers avoid combat at all costs under direct orders of a brain gear. If cornered with no way of escaping, an overseer will fight but attempts to flee as soon as possible.
Magical origins: Created by clockwork brain gears.

Clockwork Parasite

Source TOEH

Clockwork parasites are fist-sized constructs that resemble mechanical beetles.

AC 4 [15]; HD 4** (18 hp); Att 1 x bite (1d4); THAC0 16 [+3]; MV 90 (30); SV D10 W11 P12 B13 S14 (4); ML 12; AL Neutral; XP 175; NA 0 (1d6); TT None

Immunities: Unharmed by gas and poison; unaffected by charm, hold, and sleep spells.
Self repair: Regenerates 3 hp per round. If reduced to 0 hp it repairs 1 hp in a round. Can repair lost limbs (including its head) in 3d6 rounds. Cannot repair damage caused by acidbased, cold-based, or fire-based effects.
Animate dead: Buries into the skull of the recently dead and reanimates it using electrical impulses. The animated corpses look and fight like zombies, but they cannot be turned or controlled by clerics. A host brought to 0 hp is destroyed, but can be repaired by the clockwork parasite’s self-repair ability.
Brain gear link: 2 mile range. Must remain in range to communicate or continues its last order but has a 25% chance each hour that it ceases to function, collapsing into a pile of junk.
Magical origins: Created by clockwork brain gears.

Clockwork Scout

Source TOEH

Scouts are constructed to resemble animals commonly found in the area that the brain gear operates within. Their inner wood and metal workings are covered by an animal’s pelt. Scouts serve an important role as reconnaissance, patrol, and pursuit troops.

AC 2 [17]; HD 1* (4 hp); Att 1 x slam (1d4); THAC0 19 [+0]; MV 150 (50); SV D12 W13 P14 B15 S16 (1); ML 12; AL Neutral; XP 13; NA 0 (2d6); TT None

Immunities: Unharmed by gas and poison; unaffected by charm, hold, and sleep spells.
Disguise: 1-in-6 chance a character notices they are not true animals (2-in-6 for demi-humans).
Reserved: Only if they have a chance to strike from a devastating ambush does a brain gear order them into battle.
Brain gear link: 2 mile range. Must remain in range to communicate or continues its last order but has a 25% chance each hour that it ceases to function, collapsing into a pile of junk.
Magical origins: Created by clockwork brain gears.

Clockwork Swarm

Source TOEH

Clockwork swarms are a collection of tiny, insect-like clockworks that work together as a single creature. An individual member of the swarm poses little threat. Yet when acting in concert, a swarm poses a deadly threat to adventurers.

Crypt Guardian

Source TOEH

Crypt things are hooded and robed skeletons found sitting in high-backed chairs, its eyes appearing as small pinpoints of reddish light. They are created by spellcasters as tomb guardians.

A teleported creature arrives in the closest open space at the determined destination. A teleported creature can arrive in mid-air rather than on a solid surface, if the crypt thing wishes. A successful save versus spells resists this effect.
Turning: Treated as a 10 HD monster.
Magical origins: Created by powerful wizards and clerics.

Variant: Crypt Thing There exists in some parts of the world (and perhaps only truly in legend; sages aren’t sure) a variant of the crypt thing known as a crypt guardian.

Instead, it can simultaneously paralyze and turn invisible all creatures within 50 ft. (save vs. spells negates). Affected creatures remain paralyzed and invisible for 2d4 days. A new save is allowed each day until the effects are broken, dispelled, or the duration ends.

Source TOEH

The vicious dracolisk is a rare crossbreed of dragon and basilisk. It has a scaled body the same color as its dragon parent that fades to a lighter shade on its underside. A short, curved horn, similar to a rhino’s, juts from its nose. Like the basilisk, it has six legs. Its dragon-like wings match its body color but fade to a slightly darker shade near the tips. A dracolisk’s eyes are pale green with sparkles that match its dragon-parent color. Dracolisks speak a crude and broken form of the language of their dragon parent.

Mirrors: The reflection of a dracolisk is harmless. Fighting while looking in a mirror incurs a -1 penalty to attack.
Hooded eyes: A dracolisk’s hooded eyes protect it from seeing it’s own reflection (1-in-6 chance), but if it does see itself it must also make a save or be petrified.
Energy immunity: Unharmed by their own breath weapon or lesser versions thereof. Automatically save versus similar attack forms. (e.g. a red dracolisk is immune to flaming oil and only suffers half damage from fire-based spells.)

Dragon

A proud, ancient race of gigantic, carnivorous, winged reptiles. There are many subspecies of dragon, many of which are distinguished by the colour of their scales. All dragons are egg-layers and hoard treasure in their lairs, far from areas of human Civilization.

Behavior: Chaotic dragons usually try to eat humans, but may sometimes capture them. Neutral dragons may attack or ignore humans. Lawful dragons may aid parties worthy of the honor.
Pride: Dragons are immensely proud creatures and will always listen to flattery.
Attack pattern: A dragon always attacks first with its breath weapon, then either breathes again or makes melee attacks (equal chance of either).
Breath weapon: Can be used up to three times per day. All caught in the area suffer damage equal to the dragon’s current hit points (save versus breath for half). Shapes of breath weapon:

Cloud: 50’ long, 40’ wide, 20’ high.

Line: 5’ wide along whole length.

Energy immunity: Unharmed by their own breath weapon or lesser versions thereof. Automatically save versus similar attack forms. (For example, a red dragon is immune to flaming oil and suffers half damage from fire ball spells.)

Sleeping: The chance of a dragon being asleep when encountered on the ground is listed by subspecies. A sleeping dragon may be attacked for one round with a +2 bonus to hit. Dragons may sometimes pretend to be asleep!

Subduing: Will surrender if reduced to 0 hp by non-lethal attacks (see Subduing), admitting that it has been defeated. (Subdual damage does not reduce the damage done by the breath weapon.) A subdued dragon will attempt to escape or attack its captors, if the opportunity presents itself or if given a suicidal command. A subdued dragon may be sold for up to 1,000 gp per hp.
Age: The following stats describe dragons of average size. Younger dragons may have up to 3 HD less and ¼ or ½ as much treasure. Older dragons may have up to 3 HD more and twice as much treasure.

Source TOEH

A chill mountain pass that links the young kingdom with the old is rarely used these days due to the presence of a reptilian horror with alabaster scales and leering, green eyes as big as saucers. The beast is a white dracolisk, a young, rambunctious specimen who has recently fled his mother’s lair deeper in the earth with a small portion of treasure. While the white dracolisk has held his new cave lair, he has managed to devour two peddlers, stealing their wares (a dozen copper pots worth about 5 gp and a large keg of fortified wine worth about 20 gp), which make up its entire treasure.

Cloud dragons are the most reclusive of all dragons, rarely leaving the safety and sanctity of their cloudy lairs. They have fringed and frilled heads and wings that sweep back from shoulders to tail. Large, piercing rose colored eyes dominate their somewhat triangular heads. A cloud dragon wyrmling’s scales are silvery-blue with a slight hint of red at the tip of each scale. As the dragon ages, its color slowly changes to a bright sunset orange. The oldest cloud dragons resemble gold dragons, save for the large bony plates on their heads and backs. Their tails trail off becoming misty and translucent near the tip.

Dragon, Faerie

Source TOEH

The faerie dragon is a tiny beast with delicate and brightly colored butterfly wings and a long, thin prehensile tail. Its scales are smooth and range in color from red to purple, with all colors of the spectrum falling in between. Its eyes are bluishgreen, and its backward curving horns are silver with gold flecks. Faerie dragons are fey members of the dragon family and are believed to be distant cousins of the pseudodragon. Female faerie dragons have a golden sheen to their coloring while males have a silver sheen.

Ten Tricks Played by a Faerie Dragon
d10	Result
1	Infiltrates the party while invisible, variously poking or tickling nearby individuals.
2	Swooping in while invisible, unleashing its Euphoria Breath against one creature.
3	Creeping into a party’s camp to steal baked goods, replacing them with gems.
4	Alternately, replacing some of the party’s treasure with baked goods and fruits.
5	The invisible faerie dragon uses its breath weapon on an unsuspecting party, and watches as affected individuals wander about acting foolishly. The dragon will intervene if anyone in the party faces harm however.
6	A faerie dragon arranges light sources in order to cast an enormous shadow, and speaks through tunnels to artificially amplify its voice, pretending to be a huge, angry dragon, and waiting for the party to prepare for combat before revealing its true size and nature.
7	While invisible, the faerie dragon utters a beguiling song, luring the party deeper into a dungeon or woods until at last they fall into a pond or pit prepared by the dragon.
8	The dragon works with a number of gnomes, kobolds, or other mischievous humanoids to set a number of annoying but harmless traps throughout a cave, dungeon, ruins, etc., including spring-loaded pies, greased floors, buckets of water suspended above doors, and other equally cheap tricks, all the while laughing and mocking the characters while invisible. None of these traps are deadly, but the party is likely to become quite annoyed after a while.
9	The faerie dragon works with local fae to create the illusion of an unattended treasure chest, which vanishes as soon as the party touches it.
10	The dragon tells the party of a hidden treasure and giving detailed directions, only for the party to discover it is actually a cache of pastries.

Dragon Horse

Source TOEH

This creature resembles a horse with a smooth coat of scintillating blue hues that seem to flicker and wash over its body in waves as it gallops through the air. Its deep sky blue hooves do not touch the ground as it moves. The mane and tail of a dragon horse is of purest white and flows out behind it in an elegant cascade. The name “dragon horse” is something of a misnomer, as these creatures have no relation to true dragons. They are, in fact, more closely related to the noble ki-rin. Dragon horses are creatures originally from the Elemental Plane of Air that have decided, for reasons unknown to anyone but themselves, to reside more or less permanently in the Material Plane. Dragon horses visit the Elemental Plane of Air frequently, however.

Draug

Source TOEH

The draug is the vengeful spirit of a ship’s captain who died at sea, thus being denied a proper burial. If an entire ship sinks at sea with the loss of all hands, the ship itself and its entire crew may return as ghostly wanderers. The captain usually rises as a draug and his crew rises as brine zombies (see that entry).

A draug looks as it did in life, wearing the same clothes and bearing the same possessions it held at the moment of death. The arrival of a draug is often taken as a death portent, for even if it does not attack, some dire circumstance is likely to befall the witness. A draug often acts as a death token, rising out of the sea and staring at or pointing a bony finger at a sailor fated to drown.

AC 2 [17]; HD 6* (27 hp); Att 1 x cutlass (1d6) or 2 x claws (1d4); THAC0 14 [+5]; MV 120 (40), 120 (40) swimming; SV D10 W11 P12 B13 S14 (6); ML 12; AL Chaotic; XP 500; NA 0 (1); TT I

Control ship: A draug has full control over its vessel (wind notwithstanding) so long as it remains at the wheel or within 20 ft. of the helmsman. Should it leave the area, its ship meanders in a random direction until the draug regains control.
Transform ship: When a ship sinks beneath the waves and a draug is created the ship itself is transformed by the evil surrounding it and gains the following abilities:
1. Seaworthy: Regardless of the condition of the hull, a draug piloted ship remains afloat in any weather conditions. Strong waves may toss the ship about, but will not capsize it as a result.
2. Wind resistance: It is not affected by wind of any type (though the draug can still use the wind to maneuver and sail the ship) and can even sail against gale-force winds.
3. Fire immunity: A draug ship is so waterlogged that it is completely immune to all fire-based attacks.
4. Fly: A draug can command his ship to leave the waves and take to the air as long as the draug remains on board. This functions as the fly spell (1d6+6 turns duration).
5. Crew: A draug ship is normally crewed by skeletons, brine zombies or zombies.

Flind

Source TOEH

Flinds are a race closely related to gnolls. The two races share some strong similarities, and at first sight inexperienced adventurers could easily confuse the two. Flinds are much stockier than their lanky kin, much stronger and hardier, and are certainly more dangerous. It is unknown if flinds are a subspecies of the gnoll or a genetic anomaly produced among large gnoll packs. Flinds are often found among gnoll bands acting as leaders; their strength and relatively superior intelligence puts them above their lesser brethren.

AC 1 [18]; HD 2+2 (11 hp); Att 1 x flindbar (1d6+1 + disarm); THAC0 17 [+2]; MV 120 (40); SV D12 W13 P14 B15 S16 (2); ML 8; AL Chaotic; XP 25; NA 1d6 (3d6); TT D

Flindbar: A flindbar is a weapon that consists of two iron bars, approximately 18 inches in length, connected by a length of chain.
Disarm: Each successful hit requires the target to make a save vs. wands or have their weapon torn from their hands by the flindbar’s chain.
Language: Speaks gnoll, 15% chance of speaking common.
Leader: Groups of 5+ are led by a sergeant with 3+3 HD (16 hp). Groups 20+ are led by a leader with 7+3 HD (34 hp).

The flind are led by a silver-haired male with 7+3 HD and a quick temper. He is assisted by one 3+3 HD sergeants per five flind. The sergeants of the tribe are all females wed to the chief and acting as his executioners and advisors. The sergeants are adorned with copper jewelry (bandles, neck bands, nose rings) and carry two-handed bronze executioner’s swords. Each female sergeant rules over a matriarchal clan and competes for the favor of the chief, hoping one of their cubs will one day replace him when he grows to old to defend his throne. The flind’s complete treasure consists of 1d8 x 1,000 sp, 1d10 x 100 gp and 20 square yards of lace (weighs 60 pounds, worth 100 gp) salvaged from a shipwreck.

Fogwarden

Source TOEH

This creature resembles a humanoid formed of fog and mist. The only discernible facial feature is its icy blue eyes. It is sometimes called an ice apparition, for much like the standard apparition, the fogwarden feeds on the fear of its victims. The fogwarden, however, is not undead. A fogwarden is usually found inhabiting the coldest and most desolate areas of the world. The fog surrounding it flashes with its life force. These flashes are often mistaken for the will-o’-wisp.

AC 4 [15]; HD 4*** (18 hp); Att 1 x lightning bolt (3d6 electricity); THAC0 16 [+3]; MV 150 (50) flying; SV D10 W11 P12 B13 S14 (4); ML 12; AL Chaotic; XP 225; NA 1d6 (1d6); TT V

Lightning Aura: Electricity constantly plays across a fogwarden’s form and can be utilized in multiple ways:
1. Animate dead: Can animate dead creatures within 20 ft. (as the spell). While the creatures resemble zombies (and use their stats) and are under the control of the fogwarden that animated them, they are not truly undead and cannot be turned. If the fogwarden is slain or moves more than 20 ft. from a zombie, the animated creature collapses dead and cannot be animated again.
2. Lightning bolt: 30 ft. line. Save vs. wands for half. Can be used once every other round..
3. Shock: Any creature holding a metal object that contacts the fogwarden takes 3d6 points of electricity damage (save vs. spells for half).

Their clothes are tattered and torn, and some still wear the armor they wore in life (though it is now rusted, dented, or damaged).

Golem, Tallow

Source TOEH

The tallow golem is a humanoid construct composed entirely of wax. It bears no facial features unless the creator chooses to render a lifelike “wax dummy,” in which case the golem can appear quite real indeed. Wizards who specialize in the creation of tallow golems refer to themselves as “chandlers.” Unlike other golem-sculptors, chandlers consider their work a form of art. The golem wears whatever clothing (if any) that its creator desires, usually rags or trousers. It has no possessions and no weapons. The golem cannot speak or utter any sound. It moves slowly, but relentlessly.

Ooze, Vampiric

Source TOEH

Some think the vampiric ooze was created by a lich using ancient and forbidden magic. Others believe the vampiric ooze was formed when an ochre jelly slew a vampire and absorbed it.

Skeleton Warrior

Source TOEH

The skeleton warrior is a lich-like undead that was once a powerful fighter of at least 8th level. Legend says that the skeleton warriors were forced into their undead state by a powerful demon prince who trapped each of their souls in a golden circlet. A skeleton warrior’s only purpose is to search for and regain the circlet containing its soul. Circlets are worth from 1000 to 5000 gp each.

A skeleton warrior appears as a lich-like creature dressed in the same type of armor and clothes worn during life. Its clothes and armor usually show signs of wear and age.

AC -1 [20]; HD 12* (54 hp); Att 1 x longsword +1 (1d8+1); THAC0 10 [+9]; MV 120 (40); SV D6 W7 P8 B8 S10 (12); ML 12; AL Chaotic; XP 1,900; NA 1 (1); TT G

Mundane damage immunity: Can only be harmed by magical attacks.
Undead: Make no noise, until they attack.
Immunities effects that affect living creatures (e.g. poison). Immune to mind-affecting or mind-reading spells (e.g. charm, hold, sleep).
Aura of Fear: 30 ft. radius. 6 round duration. Causes creatures with less than 5 HD to flee for the duration (as cause fear). Save vs. Spells negates.
Turning immunity: Cannot be turned by clerics
Spell Immunity: There is a 60% chance any spell cast at the warrior fails to affect it (includes both area effect and targeted spells)
Tracking: A skeleton warrior can track and find the possessor of its circlet unerringly. If a skeleton warrior ever gains control of the circlet that contains its soul, it places the circlet on its head and “dies”, vanishing in a flash of light. The circlet falls to the ground and crumbles to dust.

Skeleton Warrior’s Circlet

Source TOEH

The transformation into a skeleton warrior traps the character’s soul in a golden circlet.

Anyone possessing one of these circlets may exude control over the skeleton warrior (whose soul is trapped therein).

In order to establish or maintain control, the controller must be within 300 feet of the skeleton warrior and must wear the circlet on his head and spend one full round concentrating on the skeleton warrior. If the controller is interrupted during this time, he must succeed on a save vs. spells to establish control. If the check fails, the controller can try again. While wearing the circlet, the controller cannot wear any other item on his head. Doing so causes the circlet to cease functioning until the other headgear is removed. (A skeleton warrior can still detect the location of its circlet even if the controller wears something on his head to nullify the circlet’s powers.) While wearing the circlet and within 300 feet of the skeleton warrior, the controller can see through the skeleton warrior’s eyes and force it to act (attack, search, and so forth). This is called “active” mode. While the skeleton warrior is in active mode, the controller himself cannot take any action other than minimal movement.

Alternately, the controller can place the skeleton warrior in “passive” mode. In this mode, the skeleton warrior stands motionless and inert. The controller cannot see through the skeleton warrior’s eyes but he himself is free to act. If the controller moves more than 300 feet away from the skeleton warrior or if the circlet is removed from the controller’s head, the skeleton warrior automatically enters passive mode. The controller can switch the skeleton warrior between active and passive mode once a round. Should the controller ever lose the circlet (through accident, theft, or simply by discarding it), the skeleton warrior instantly stops what it is doing and moves as quickly as possible toward the former controller and attempts to destroy them. If a skeleton warrior ever gains control of the circlet that contains its soul, it places the circlet on its head and “dies”, vanishing in a flash of light. The circlet falls to the ground and crumbles to dust.

Troll, Tundra

Source Frozen Monsters

At 9’ tall, these uniquely-evolved specimens of trollkind have adapted to tundra life and even used the environmental cold to develop special defenses against their one glaring weakness—fire. Not only does a tundra troll’s skin naturally cool the air around it, which keeps its snowy lair from melting in the hotter months, but this same internal process actually lessens incoming fire attacks that target the troll’s body.

Because of this, the Enoruuk and other natives of the arctic landscape fear the bloodthirsty tundra trolls.

Worse, these northern monsters exhibit an especially cruel streak when killing their prey—they love to torment them for as long as possible, before eating them. Their victims’ body produces adrenaline when stressed and afraid, and the trolls relish the taste of this substance in the sweat of their victims. (The physically repulsive trolls gleefully claim that this “sweetens” their meals, like sugar.)

Tsathar

Source TOEH

A tsathar (pronounced “suh-Thar”) resembles an upright, humanoid frog with gray flesh and reddish-gold eyes. A typical tsathar stands 6 feet tall and weighs about 300 pounds. Its humanoid arms end in wicked claws. Tsathar have little contact with surface-dwelling races, preferring to make their lairs deep underground or in dark swamps. When they lair above ground, they are nocturnal. Some few surface-dwelling tsathar have joined cults of assassins.

Though cults and gods vary in makeup and worship, nearly all tsathar worship the foul, slime-covered demon-god Tsathogga.

Tsathar prefer to use short, barbed spears and curved daggers in combat. They sometimes employ nets as well. They charge into combat with maniacal fury, and rarely use elaborate tactics, unless a scourge or priest is present to control them. They favor leather armor crafted from the hides of the frogs they breed. Priests favor the curved dagger in battle.

Leap: Can leap up to 30 ft. and attack as a single action.
Slippery: Unaffected by webs, ropes or other forms of confinement due to a constant covering of muck and slime.
Implant: Tsathar are sexless and reproduce by implanting an egg into a host, normally dire rats and giant frogs. It is said that priests must be born of an egg implanted into a humanoid or other creature of great intelligence. An egg can be implanted only into an unconscious or restrained host. Accompanying the egg is an anaesthetizing poison that causes the host to fall unconscious for the two-week gestation period of the egg unless the host succeeds on a save vs. paralysis. If the save succeeds, the host remains conscious, but is violently ill (?10 penalty to hit and save) 24 hours before the eggs hatch. When the eggs mature, the young tsathar emerge from the host, killing it in the process. A cure disease spell rids the victim of the eggs.
Light sensitivity: Abrupt exposure to bright light (such as a light spell) blinds tsathars for 1 round.
Spellcaster: 10% of tsathar are able to cast spells as a 5th-level Cleric (2 x 1st, 2 x 2nd).
Language: Tsathar speak their own strange, guttural language and the eldritch speech of demons.

Tsathar Scourge

Tsathar scourges are special tsathar in charge of breeding the dangerous “killer” frogs. They wear a badge of station that indicates their control over the various beasts. All frogs bred by the tsathar obey scourges. Tsathar scourges never become priests and thus do not have the summoning ability of common tsathars.

Weirds are creatures from the various inner and outer planes (including the demi-, para-, and quasi-elemental planes as well as the elemental planes). They are sometimes encountered on the Material Plane, often in the employ of a powerful spellcaster. Bribery is the usual means of gaining the services of a weird, though some spellcasters resort to even more deceitful practices or trickery to gain the services of these creatures. Spellcaster beware! Weirds are intelligent creatures and do not take kindly to deception (unless they are the ones engaging in such trickery).

Weird, Lightning

A lava weird lives in the lava flow, and is tasked with keeping intruders from reaching the anvil. The weird is nearly 30-feet-long and rises out of the magma if PCs climb the stairs. The lava weird can reach anyone on the platform or stairs. The hilt sitting on the anvil is white-hot, although it appears normal. Anyone touching it takes 2d6 points of damage (save vs. breath for half) from the burning metal. The tongs are cool to the touch, but are coated with a gluey substance that sticks to flesh (1d6 points of damage to pull the tongs free). The hilt can be dipped into any normal fire to create a flaming blade for 2d4 rounds that does 2d6 points of damage.

Lightning weirds resemble 10-foot-long serpents composed of yellow or white crackling lightning. Brilliant flares of electricity function as the creature’s eyes and small bolts of electricity leap and dance from its form.

Witherweed

Witherweeds resemble large patches of dry grass and weeds and are most often found in areas where their natural makeup allows them to blend in with their surroundings. A subterranean version of this monster exists and makes its lair in desolate caves and caverns.

Hidden among the creature’s body are many long, sinewy strands that it uses to trap its prey. The average witherweed covers an area of 20-squarefeet, though specimens as large as 60-square-feet have been encountered by a few dungeon delvers.

Wizard’s Shackle

Source TOEH

The wizard’s shackle is a 6-inches-long, gray-green leech-like creature. Though it is small in size, it is greatly feared by spellcasters, for its bite drains arcane magic from a caster’s mind. In some rare instances, evil spellcasters have harvested these monsters and set them loose in an enemy spellcaster’s tower or laboratory.

AC 5 [14]; HD ½** (2 hp); Att 1 x bite (1 + spell drain); THAC0 19 [+0]; MV 30 (10); SV D14 W15 P16 B17 S18 (NH); ML 10; AL Neutral; XP 7; NA 1d6 (2d6); TT None

A spellcaster drained of spells or slots can attempt a save vs. spells with a +2 bonus to notice that something is wrong, though unless he searches his body, he might still overlook the wizard’s shackle. Once a wizard’s shackle has drained at least 4 spell levels, it detaches and crawls away to digest its meal. Lost spells or slots are regained the next day.

Xanntii

Source TOEH

The Xanntii are a previously human species that altered themselves with dark magic to better serve their sea-bound gods. The Xanntii consist of several subspecies: the Xanntii commoner, the fanatical Xanntii god-spawn, and the seemingly ageless Xanntii ascendants. The Xanntii ascendants rule over ancient underwater cities constructed in the worship of their dark sea god. They plot and plan for the drowning of the surface world and when they and their god can roam free.

Xanntii Ascendant

Source TOEH

Xanntii ascendants have taken the deep god’s blessing and transformed into an even more monstrous version, albeit one with a closer connection to their sea god.

Standing over 12-feet-tall with a thin, almost emaciated blue-skinned body, the Xanntii ascendant is a domineering presence. Two sets of long, thin arms sit one above the other, with each ending in a three-fingered hand.

Its fish-like head contains a wide, tooth-filled mouth. Two small tentacles that the Xanntii uses to manipulate food hang above its mouth.

Its head is crowned by three purple fins that sit above yellow, pupil-less eyes.

Deep god’s blessing: Xanntii ascendants can concoct vats of a vile potion derived from Xanntii ocean hunters that can further transform Xanntii commoners into two different forms, seemingly dependent on their god’s whim. The potion is deep blue in color with several purple ribbon-like strands that swirl and writhe around of their own accord. During a special ceremony, chosen Xanntii commoners drink from their supply of the potion and over the course of an hour transform into either a Xanntii god-spawn (80% chance) or a Xanntii ascendant (20% chance). Any other creature drinking the potion must make a save vs. poison or die an agonizing death 1d4 rounds later.
Dire flail: A dire flail is a four-foot-long metal haft with an attached chain that ends in a flanged metal head. It is usable only by larger-than-human-sized creatures.

Causing 4 or more points of damage in a single attack with a blunt weapon causes the sphere to break and collapse, freeing the victim.

Xanntii Commoner

Source TOEH

Xanntii commoners are an ancient offshoot of humans transformed centuries ago by dark powers to start a new branch of magical evolution. The average Xanntii commoner is five to six feet tall with blonde, brown, or black hair and pale to dark skin tones, the palest of which tend to be those Xanntii that live in caves. Xanntii commoners can pass for normal humans, but on closer inspection, patches of mottled purple skin are often visible.

Xanntii god-spawn have taken the deep god’s blessing and transformed into a more monstrous version. All Xanntii god-spawn are bald, with solid black eyes and a wide, frog-like mouth crammed with sharp teeth. A set of gills sits along the god-spawn’s neck, and multiple patches of mottled purple skin cover its body.

Xanntii god-spawn spend the majority of their time attending Xanntii ascendants in their underwater cities.

Ice Leech

A fearsome ambush predator that lurks beneath the surface of frozen lakes and streams. This large, wormlike creature has branching outgrowths that serve as rudimentary gills, allowing it to breathe underwater.

Its keen senses detect vibrations in the ice above from approaching prey; the leech secretes a powerful acid that weakens and melts the ice beneath its prey.

Once the ice gives way and its prey falls into the water, the leech rapidly swims towards its victim, latching onto it with powerful jaws and sapping its warmth and vitality. The leech is difficult to dislodge once it has attached to its prey, and multiple ice leeches can quickly overwhelm even the most skilled swimmers.

The victim’s legs are soaked if it escapes.

Isothermal Beetle

An isothermal beetle is about 2’ long and just as wide, possessing an oval, abdominous body. Its outer exoskeleton is bone-white, but its softer interior parts have a bright turquoise sheen. The beetle’s organs transmit cold energy into the bug’s surroundings to maintain a constant internal temperature. A bioluminescent glow emits from nodules along the beetle’s thorax and abdomen. An isothermal beetle bites a humanoid only if it is handled roughly or attacked. Often times, Enoruuk use the beetles as a natural light source when their torches burn out in the wilderness, as well as a quick way to get warm in dangerous winter storms.

Iceberg Golem

The dazzling iceberg golem is a masterful humanoid sculpture of misting ice and sharp precision. During its long boredom, Saumen Kar spent the last few centuries chiseling these magic figures and then imbuing them with sentience. An iceberg golem appears as an alluring, 8’ tall cosmic being hewn and shaped out of a single block of ice. Its eyes glow with whitish-blue light as it moves to obey its creator’s commands. In fact, what many fail to realize is that the gorgeous being depicted by the sculptures is none other than Saumen Kar before its primeval fall.

Additionally, on full moons, the possessed victim transforms into an evil werebear (with maximum hp). The victim spends the entire night roaming the wilds, hunting and killing. The next morning, he awakes with no memory of these events, only haunting bestial dreams. If the possessed victim dies for any reason, Kappianartok can attempt to possess a new creature within 200’.
Indestructible Hide: Mundane weapons that hit the demon’s incredibly durable hide usually break (4:6 chance); even magically enchanted weapons deal only half damage to the demon, and they still have a chance to break on a hit (+1 weapons, 2:6 chance; +2 weapons, 1:6 chance; +3 weapons never).

Panagian Sentinel

Developed by the Caelorum and named in honor of the Aethereal Queen, Panagia, the Panagian sentinel was designed for one thing: to eradicate the minions of chaos. Long ago, the elaborate construct was joined with a willing spirit named Hevel, who now controls it. The sentinel was tasked with guardianship of Tower Vartoriak.

In its restored form, the Panagian sentinel is a huge construct of dull ivory marble over 10’ tall. It possesses perfectly symmetrical humanoid features. No eyes or mouth are visible on its face until the sentinel is activated. One giant hand always grips the intricate hilt of an enormous, two-handed stone sword. And its lower body lacks any leg forms; instead, a big egg-shaped dome replaces the figure’s pelvis. Once activated, a fulgent aura spreads over the construct’s surface, and eight golden spheres materialize around its head. Planes of multi-hued light radiate as well from its domed bottom. And with a surge of power, the sentinel magically propels into the air. Its stone blade cracks, the corrosion of ages falling away from the sword to reveal a glorious weapon, blazing with decipherable Caelus scriptc.

AC 0 [19], HD 20*** (90 hp), ATK 1 × fist (3d10) or 2 × divine blade (1d10+9 or 1d10+10 vs. chaotic), THAC0 6 [+13] or 5 [+14] vs. chaotic, MV 240’ (80’) fly, SV D2, W2, P2, B2, S4 (20), ML 12, AL lawful, XP 5,450, NA 1, TT –

Dictum: 1/round: the sentinel gazes at a single chaotic creature within 40’ and fires a white beam from its eye-line (as a free attack); the target must save vs. wands to avoid it; on a failure, the target erupts in a golden, viscous, liquid substance, like amber or honey; the warm resin gushes from the victim’s orifices and pores, engulfing its body and rapidly hardening into a translucid sphere that fully encases the victim. Later, as an action, the sentinel can telekinetically shrink or grow this magical encasing sphere, even lifting and moving it 40’ per round. The trapped creature is in stasis while so encased; it does not age, thirst, or starve, nor can it escape. If an anti-magic shell touches the sphere or a disintegrate destroys it, the victim is immediately released.
Holy Aura: Passively turns undead within 40’ as a 9th level cleric. This effect is automatic (i.e., always “on”). Chaotic creatures are at -8 on saves against the sentinel’s spells and dictum ability.
Hovering: Has natural levitation.

Piscina Demon

One of the lesser forms of Tarngrak, the piscina demon is a vicious entity tasked with polluting and befouling water ways, streams, lakes, and rivers. The demon has the power to enter a limited water source and corrupt it with its mere presence. As the entity murders more and more victims in the area, it can eventually weave an evil spell to animate their bones and turn them into sulfurous skeletonsa.

The piscina demon resembles a wave of water surging upward into the air from its acidic water source. This acid wave coalesces into a large, bubbling sphere.

Inside floats a blackened female skeleton, its pelvis hanging without legs. Abyssal glyphs cover the skeleton as if they were arcane tattoos. The thing’s eyes are two golden pinpoints of light, and its forearm bones end in cracked stumps. It lifts its broken arms, and instantly, two long tendrils of scalding liquid burst out of the floating sphere encasing it. They grow longer and longer, reaching 30’ in length. Then the skeleton hisses, and swinging its arm-stumps, both tendrils lash out in unison at its foes.

Baalor summoned one of these demons after he leveled Kangek. He compelled the entity to corrupt the sacred pool in the under-temple, and at the Skull God’s command, it slew those staalistas who refused to worship Baalor as a god. Then it took their bones and ensorcelled them with necromantic power, making of them its acidic skeletons.

AC 2 [17], HD 7** (31 hp), ATK 2 × acidic tendrils (1d10 + knockdown) or 2 × claws (1d6), THAC0 13 [+6], MV 60’ (20’) levitate or swim, SV D8, W9, P10, B10, S12 (7), ML 10, AL chaotic, XP 1,250, NA 1 (0), TT B

Acidic-Bodied: If water touches the demon or its acidic pool, a burst of acid splashes in a 10’ radius, dealing 1d4 damage to all creatures.
Corrupt Water: The demon can corrupt a water source 700’ in radius. To do this, it must enter the water source and remain there for 6 days; at that point, the demon has bound itself to the water source, which transforms into burning acid. Any corpses tossed into the water are cursed and rise as sulfurous skeletons^A at the demon’s command. The demon sees through the eyes of its skeletal spawn at all times and uses them to scout the surrounding area. This corruption might be removed, but only after the demon is slain or drive away and the greater Hadean rite of expulsion^B is performed over the water.
Damnation: If slain, the demon’s skeletal form shatters, as its acidic sphere rains down into the water; its invisible spirit moans with great fear and uncertainty as it is hurled across the air; it is trapped in the Megalith of Yetza-har’ab.
Demon Traits: Doesn’t need air, food, or water.
Immortal. Telepathy 100’.
Detestable Recrudescence: If 66 victims are ritualistically murdered and their suffering offered to a demon, the harnessed power frees and reconstitutes the piscina demon again.
Immunity: Immune to acid.
Knockdown: Victim must save vs. paralysis or be knocked back 1d3 × 5’ and fall prone.
Liquid Sphere: While bound to its water source, the piscina demon can create and encase itself within a magical, liquid sphere of acid. This sphere gives the demon immunity to missiles (but not siege weapons). Slashing and blunt weapons are at -4 to hit the demon, and fire attacks deal only 1 point per damage die to it. The demon’s husk floats in its sphere over the pool and moves as high as 20’ in its air space. The liquid sphere can be eliminated by dispel evil, but the demon can summon a new one on the following day. If the demon flees its piscina, it loses this sphere.
Long Reach: Its tendrils course through the air up to 50’ away. Against foes beyond 50’, the demon loses initiative as it stretches its tendrils up to 100’ to attack them.
Mundane Damage Immunity: Harmed only by magical attacks.
Spell Casting: As 7th level caster. Constant—detect evil, read languages, read magic; 3/day (targets demon’s water source only): lower water, part water; 1/day—dispel magic, invisibility, wizard eye.
Vulnerable: Holy water vials thrown into the demon’s liquid sphere deal maximum damage it; against lightning, it saves at -4.

Qivitoq

These arctic undead predators are closely related to vampires.

According to legend, the first qivitoq was thought to have been created when a young child, who did not obey his parents, got lost after a night wandering away from the edge of his family’s woodland. After spending hours in the cold, dark wilderness, he could not find any water to quench his thirst or food to sate his aching belly, nor could he find the familiar trees that he had lived under during his youth.

But a foul and cunning Tarngrak happened upon the boy as he wandered in the tundra. Seeing that the lad was malnourished and starving, the wicked demon promised to help the boy find his parents and even something good to drink and eat.

Desperate for these material needs, the boy agreed; but he did not even bother to ask what he had to exchange with the demon to gain them. Then, the demon vanished, and in the boy’s mind, he suddenly knew which way was home. Within a few hours, he saw the soft, warm glow of his mother’s hearth-fire in the windows of his cozy home. But his stomach growled, and he wondered aloud why the demon had shown him how to find his parents without ever giving him something to eat or drink. But when he opened the front door and stepped inside, he soon learned the answer.

Upon seeing his good parents, who were overjoyed at the return of their son and hurried over to embrace him, the boy became filled with a sudden and unnatural hunger. As his mother and father hugged him, the boy tore out their throats with his teeth, and drinking their still-warm blood, he saw that the Tarngrak had given him exactly what he had asked for—something good to drink and eat. Ravenous, the monstrous boy devoured his parents’ delicious flesh over the course of that night.

And in the morning, when he emerged, the boy learned the depths of his evil curse. Now, the sun hurt his eyes and made him dizzy; the cozy trees of his homeland loomed overhead, as if threatening to kill him; and the crystal-clear stream flowing nearby—all he had wanted to quench his thirst the night before—made him uneasy and repulsed him, for his longing for its waters had led him to murder his own loving parents in a bout of unthinking desperation. And even as he tried to use the water to wash their blood from his hands, it began to burn him.

The boy fled into the arctic wastes, the very place he tried to escape, and in time, he became a qivitoq—a blood-thirsty, ravenous, vampiric animal-spirit that feeds on others to preserve its own life at their expense.

It does this by raking with its brutal claws and biting with its strong jaws. A qivitoq hates forests, wood of any kind, families, fires, and unfrozen water, preferring the desolate, lifeless wastes of the tundra plains north of the arctic tree-line.

The qivitoq appear as a vapid, white miasmic cloud of roiling spiritual vapors shaped like a wolf-man. Its fell eyes are black pits without any light. Sometimes, as a qivitoq nears, hidden in the howling winds and endless snows, the faint sound of giggling children can be heard—and a few of their words discerned amid this wicked laughter:

“Do you see me now?”
“Let’s go this way.”
“We can’t hurt you. We just want to help.”
“Why not? We should try it.”

Referee Note. The qivitoq is an Enoruuk tale of warning. In the early evenings, when the elders gather their children together inside the tribal meeting tent, they tell this story to instill in them certain values to help prevent the return of an ancestral evil—the Magoth. For they fear the boundless destruction and cruelty that was caused by their sorcerous brethren during the long winter sun of the Skull God’s reign.

In the story, the boy wanders away from the safety of what he knows (i.e., what his parents had long taught him was true and right). And falling into desperate circumstances out in the wastes of immorality, he begs for the demon’s help, which it uses to forever ensnare him. It doesn’t matter that the boy didn’t understand he was making a deal in the first place. It doesn’t even matter that the demon never told him what was at stake. When he asked for its help, he gave it power over him, and this led to great tragedy.

The Enoruuk share this story to teach their young about the hidden dangers of sorcery, the occult, and Whudjan mystery religions—that those who tamper with evil powers (represented by the Tarngrak) in any measure, great or small, never really get what they hope to gain from it. Instead, they only find death and a cursed existence when the demonic source of their occult power betrays them in the end. “And so it is,” the elders say, “with the fell ways of sorcery.”

Water deals 2d6 damage per round, and full water immersion destroys on a failed save vs. death (10d6 damage even when succeeding).

Wood-Warping Gaze: 60’ range; action activates; 9 objects affected, as per the warp wood spell; magic items save vs. spells at -2.

Rime Hag

The vicious, secretive rime hag stands 7’ tall. She bears a grin of sharp yellow teeth and no body hair grows on her dark blue skin. To conceal this, the hag wears a thick, white veil over her head along with heavy white robes. Her two eyes have been gouged out and sewn shut; in her forehead, however, lies an unblinking and glaring eye.

Unlike other hags, rime hags do not associate with each other at all. They view their “sisters” as rivals to be outsmarted, driven off, or killed. A rime hag prefers eating Enoruuk children, but a plump Hadean child works nicely, too.

AC 1 [18], HD 8+2** (38 hp), ATK [2 × talons (1d8)] or [1 × wand, 1 × talon (1d8)], THAC0 12 [+7], MV 120’ (40’), SV D8, W9, P10, B10, S12 (8), ML 10, AL chaotic, XP 1,750, NA 1 (1), TT D, Gear wand of cold (2d10 charges).

Demon Traits: Doesn’t need air, food, or water.
Immortal. Telepathy 100’.
Detestable Recrudescence: If 666 victims are ritualistically murdered and their suffering offered to a demon, the harnessed power frees and reconstitutes Saumen Kar again.
Final Possession: Anyone who kills the demon must save vs. spells or suffer its diabolical possessionc. Additionally, any time the possessed victim enters combat or is threatened (even jokingly) by another, he has a 4:6 chance of flying into a berserker rage, attacking his foes until dead and never retreating. While raging, the victim has +5 to hit and damage but cannot cast spells or think clearly. If the possessed victim dies for any reason, Saumen Kar can attempt to possess a new creature within 150’.

Shelled Horror

The monstrous crustacean native to the great lake of Imaryuk likes to bury itself in rocks, stones, and other underwater matter. This hidden burrow helps the shelled horror to ambush prey as they swim by it; then the crustacean explodes from its burrow in a spray of rocky debris to seize and dismember victims.

The monstrosity resembles a 10’ long hybrid of a giant crayfish and fiddler crab. Its flattened round body spans 7’, heaving a thick greenish shell crusted with lake slime and bottom filth. Five pairs of armored legs scuttle it nimbly across the ground. Giant claws snap at potential prey; one is grossly enlarged and razored. And as the black-orbed eyes of the shelled horror glares at its victim, its mouthparts scythe together.

Little else is known about these mysterious creatures beyond a physical description.

AC 3 [16], HD 10* (45 hp), ATK 1 × claw (2d6), 1 × big claw (4d6 + dismember), THAC0 11 [+8], MV 60’ (20’) / 120’ (40’) swim, SV D10, W11, P12, B13, S14 (5), ML 7, AL neutral, XP 1,600, NA 1 (1d2), TT –

Strong Men: Does not lose initiative for using slow weapons in melee combat.

Snow Goblins

Snow goblins are loping, malformed, blue-skinned goblinoids native to arctic mountainous regions. Their legs end in wide, elongated feet that help them traverse through heavy snow. The Hadeans refer to them as hrimmelen, which means “ice gremlins” in the imperial tongue.

Packs of these troublesome creatures stalk the wilderness looking to steal or kill whatever they need to survive. The goblins prefer weaker prey, and though they sometimes barter with remote Enoruuk villages and traveling merchants, they are not above murdering and eating a dwarf or human, if they think they can get away with it. Snow goblins prefer living flesh instead of cold, rotting meat. When they are desperate, hrimmelen consume the feces of other arctic creatures—their noses are keen to the scent of undigested nutrients in freshly vacated stool.

During harsh winter seasons, the goblins forgo peace and brutally attack those whom they trade with. The Enoruuk never fully trust the snow goblin tribes they encounter regularly.

AC 6 [13] or 0 [19] vs. missiles, HD 1-1* (3 hp), ATK 1 × claw (1d4+1), THAC0 19 [0], MV 90’ (30’), SV D14, W15, P16, B17, S18 (NH), ML 6 (or 8 in groups), AL chaotic, XP 6, NA 2d4 (6d10), TT R (C).

Theft: Sneaks up and snatches valuable objects with pick pockets, then runs away (1:4 chance per round of dropping stolen object if chased).

Sook Guardian

Ancient warriors who were cursed for betraying their oaths in order to save themselves, these staggering rotting corpses still bear the arms and armor of their long-vanished kingdoms. Unlike most undead, a sook guardian can be heard due to its rusty, clanging, metal equipment and its unnatural whimpering. It is a relentless foe but not because of bravery. Instead, the undead is cursed to fight on, even though it always feels great terror in its wicked heart and mind—though a tomb robber slain by one never knows it.

AC 4 [15], HD 2* (9 hp), ATK 1 × spear (1d6), THAC0 18 [+1], MV 60’ (20’), SV D12, W13, P14, B15, S16 (1), ML 12, AL chaotic, XP 25, NA 2d4 (2d10), TT –, Gear rusted chain mail, shield, and spear.

Relentless: Saves vs. death at 0 hp to stay at 1 hp.
Undead: Immune to effects that affect living creatures (e.g., poison). Immune to mind-affecting or mind-reading spells (e.g., charm, hold, sleep).
Whimpering: While animated, the unnerving sound of a man’s fearful whimpering can be heard from within its corpse.

Spell Vore

A spell vore resembles a slithering mass of rocky scales, writhing tentacles, and a gaping maw somewhere in the middle big enough to snap a man in half. Its stubby suction “feet” cling to cavernous ceilings, allowing it to ambush its prey from above. An infamous predator among the dwarves of the Malgorgian underworld, the spell vore locks on to well-equipped, magic itemrich adventuring parties who are seeking to delve for treasures in that realm’s sub-surface tunnels.

AC 3 [16], HD 10** (45 hp), ATK 2 × tentacles (1d10 + grab), 1 × bite (1d12), THAC0 11 [+8], MV 150’ (50’) climb, SV D6, W7, P8, B8, S10 (10), ML 10, AL chaotic, XP 2,300, NA 1d2 (0), TT –

Detect Magic: As the spell, but always active and 120’ range.
Grab: Grabbed victim is constricted for 1d10 damage per round; a save vs. paralysis allows escape on later rounds.
Null Aura: Spells fail to function within 40’ of a vore; if cast by a 6-10HD (or 6th-10th level) creature, there is a 4:6 chance a spell fails while in the aura; if cast by an 11-15HD (or 11th-15th level) creature, there is a 2:6 chance a spell fails while in the aura; spells cast by creatures higher than 15HD (or 15th level) ignore this effect.
Suppression Gaze: 1/round: can gaze at a single, non-artifact magic item within 60’ and suppress its powers for 2 turns (no save).

Spell-Page Mummy

These undead horrors are created when a magicuser or illusionist is held by magic, tightly bound in mummification wrappings while enchanted and helpless and then buried alive. After the doomed magician’s death, the creator writes upon his exterior wrappings every letter of the victim’s spellbook. The styling must be done precisely by hand, and it must match the original author’s penmanship. Finally, through forbidden necromantic rituals, the creator infuses the dead magician’s corpse—twisted in horrible terror as he tried to cry out for help and mercy while suffocating to death.

AC 3 [16], HD 5+1** (23 hp), ATK 1 × touch (1d12 + disease), THAC0 14 [+5], MV 60’ (20’), SV D10, W11, P12, B13, S14 (5), ML 12, AL chaotic, XP 575, NA 1d4 (1d12), TT D

Disease: Infectious touch can deliver arcane debilitation disease (transmit 4:6; incubation 1d4; severity 3; resistance 1d4 INT and recovers only lowest-level spell slot after a night of resting).
Damage Immunity: Harmed only by fire and magical attacks, but even magic weapons and spells deal only half damage to it. Fire attacks always deal full damage.
Frightful Appearance: Anyone seeing the mummy for the first time must save vs. paralysis or be paralyzed with terror for 2d6 rounds or until the undead attacks or cannot be seen; clerics and paladins of 5th level or higher save at +4. A victim of 8th level (or 8HD) or higher is at -2 to hit if affected.
Magic Resistance: Saves vs. magic at +4.
Undead: Makes no noise, until it attacks.
Immune to effects that affect living creatures (e.g., poison). Immune to mind-affecting or mind-reading spells (e.g., charm, hold, sleep).

Sulfurous Skeleton

This red-boned skeletal undead creature drips with sizzling water. When combat begins, the undead opens its jaws and howls out a blood-curdling feminine scream. Under the creature’s jawbone, where its throat would be, hangs a pulsating sack of green flesh.

Sulfurous skeletons are all female, as they were made from the cursed bones of the loyal staalistas at Kangek who refused to worship Baalor in his guise as the Skull God.

The undead spews an acid arrow at a foe, if it cannot reach the victim with its claws. They are incredibly dangerous in large mobs, where those fighting them must face acidic barrages from a distance while suffering scalding claw attacks up close in melee.

AC 7 [12], HD 2* (9 hp), ATK 1 × claw (1d4 + 1d4 acid) or 1 × sulfur sack, THAC0 18 [+1], MV 60’ (20’), SV D12, W13, P14, B15, S16 (1), ML 12, AL chaotic, XP 25, NA 3d4 (3d10), TT –

Taiga Dragon

The cunning and fearsome taiga dragon is a blackand green-scaled dragon that lairs in the endless taiga forests of Titherion. It digs or burrows a den, if it can, usually leaving a trail of markings that only it can interpret to find its way back to its (well-hidden) treasure hoard and lair. The dragon enjoys spending its free time putting together a devious combination of riddles, puzzles, and obscure references to confound any thieves.

A taiga dragon approaches combat cautiously. It much prefers frightening potential foes away first with a loud roar. But sometimes, a battle is inevitable, and the dragon knows it. It prefers to open combat with an ambush, blasting out a cone of lethal cold onto its gathered enemies. The dragon uses the thick boreal foliage to swoop around its targets and attack them suddenly again and again until they are dead or it must revise its strategy for some reason. If it knows melee will be required to finish the fight, the dragon weakens its enemies first, then hides among the trees until it is close enough to charge at them.

AC 1 [18], HD 8** (36 hp), ATK [2 × claw (1d6), 1 × bite (2d12)] or breath, THAC0 12 [+7], MV 90’ (30’) / 240’ (80’) fly / 60’ (20’) burrow, SV D8, W9, P10, B10, S12 (8), ML 9, AL chaotic, XP 1,750, NA 1d4 (1d4), TT H

Age: This stat block gives a dragon of average size. A young dragon may have up to 3HD less and 1/4 less treasure, while an older dragon may have up to 3HD more with double treasure.
Ambush: Hides within tree line and bursts out when something walks past it.
Breath Weapon: 3/day: 90’ long cone of cold, 2’ wide at the mouth, 30’ wide at far end (damage equals dragon’s current hp; save vs. breath for half) or 50’ long, 40’ wide, 20’ high cloud of weakness gas (save vs. breath or deals half damage with melee attacks for 2d6 rounds).
Lairs: A dragon’s treasure is always kept in its well-hidden lair and is seldom unguarded.
Language & Spell Casting: 30% chance taiga dragon can speak (its own tongue, Drakon, plus others) and cast randomly selected magic-user spells, using its HD as a caster level. It knows 3 × 1st level spells and 1 × 2nd level spells.
Immunity: Immune to cold and hypothermia.
Sleeping: 35%. May be attacked at +2 to hit while sleeping on the ground.
Subduing: Will surrender if reduced to 0 hp by non-lethal attacks (see “Other Combat Issues” in Old-School Essentials Advanced Fantasy Player’s Tome), admitting that it has been defeated. (Subdual damage does not reduce the damage done by the breath weapon.) A subdued dragon will attempt to escape or attack its captors, if the opportunity presents itself or if given a suicidal command. A subdued dragon may be sold for up to 1,000 gp per hp.

Taiga Wight

The dreaded taiga wight lurks in the shadowy, needled evergreen groves in Titherion’s boreal forests. A ravenous corpse gifted with the “dream of unlife,” a taiga wight’s mind is partly trapped within a hellish, red-misted dreamscape where it is haunted forever. This undead creature violently envies the warmth enjoyed by the living and hates them for possessing it. And so, the wight seeks out those whom it might forcefully “gift” with its own miserable, cursed existence.

AC 4 [15], HD 4** (18 hp), ATK 1 × claw (1d6 + quietus) or 1 × red paralysis, THAC0 16 [+3], MV 90’ (30’), SV D10, W11, P12, B13, S14 (4), ML 12, AL chaotic, XP 175, NA 1d6 (1d8), TT B

Averting Eyes: Victim averting its eyes is at -4 to hit and -2 to AC against the wight.
Mundane Damage Immunity: Harmed only by silver weapons or magical attacks.
Quietus: Victim cannot naturally or magically heal the wight’s claw damage. If the wight is destroyed, the victim may save vs. spells once per day to end this condition. A remove curse also ends this effect.
Red Paralysis: 1/turn: the wight glares into the eyes of a victim within 40’. Unless the victim saves vs. spells, his eyes fill with an engulfing red mist. He sees horrific visions of nightmarish landscapes and dark, drifting entities beyond the nebulous crimson. While in this state, the victim is at -2 to hit. One round later, the victim senses a black, wispy shadow emerging from the encompassing red fog. It is moving towards him rapidly. The victim must save vs. death once per round; if he gets three successes before three failures, this condition ends. But if the victim ever fails one save, he is at -4 to hit; if the victim fails two saves, he becomes blinded to the real world around him; if the victim fails three saves, the dark shape engulfs him—he can no longer be seen and cannot escape the dark miasma surrounding him. One round later, the hero’s time is up: he sees a demon’s face in the swirling red mist, and suddenly, it kills him. A continual light, protection from evil, remove curse, or remove fear ends this condition by blocking the shape from engulfing the victim, and it departs.
Spawn: Victims slain by quietus or red paralysis rise as taiga wights^A that same night.
Surprise: A surprised victim meets the wight’s red paralysis glare automatically.
Undead: Makes no noise, until it attacks.
Immune to effects that affect living creatures (e.g., poison). Immune to mind-affecting or mind-reading spells (e.g., charm, hold, sleep).

Tarktuktulak

AC 0 [19], HD 16**** (72 hp), ATK 4 × claws (1d8), 1 × antlers (2d8 + poison), THAC0 8 [+11], MV 180’ (60’), SV D2, W3, P4, B3, S6 (16), ML 11, AL chaotic, XP 5,150, NA 1, TT R

Charge: Can charge in a line up to 60’; attacks all in its path, inflicting double antler damage.
Damnation: If a possession attempt fails after the demon is slain, Tarktuktulak’s spirit flies into the closest animal (or herd), where it forces the afflicted animal(s) off a cliff or into a body of water to drown; then, howling with rage, it is trapped inside the Megalith of Yetza-har’ab.
Demon Traits: Doesn’t need air, food, or water.
Immortal. Telepathy 100’.
Detestable Recrudescence: If 666 victims are ritualistically murdered and their suffering offered to a demon, the harnessed power frees and reconstitutes Tarktuktulak again.
Final Possession: Anyone who kills the demon must save vs. spells or suffer its diabolical possessionc. Additionally, the possessed victim is struck mute. After 6 days, he stops desiring normal food, hungering for grass and tree leaves instead. After 12 days, he removes his clothing and wanders deep into the wilderness, unable to read or speak and acting more like a wild beast. After 18 days, he vanishes forever in the wild, his mind totally lost (if the victim is somehow detained, his eyes become white orbs, he growls like a beast, developing a taste for live human flesh). If the possessed victim dies for any reason, the Dark Deer can attempt to possess a new creature within 160’.
Mundane Damage Immunity: Harmed only by magical attacks.
Poison: Victim must save vs. poison or lose 1d4 CHA points per round until dead; when ability loss occurs, the demon heals 1 hp per point, and the victim may save vs. poison at -4 every round to end this effect.
Scent: Can follow a scent from 12 miles away.
Shapechange: At will; can polymorph self into an animal native to Titherion; while in animal form, its natural weapons deal double damage, and it gains all of that animal’s special abilities.
Spell Casting: As 16th level caster. Constant—detect evil, nondetection, read languages, read magic; at will—cause fear, entangle, faerie fire, ventriloquism; 3/day—dispel magic, improved invisibility, tree shape, wall of thorns; 1/day—control weather, pass plant, solid fog.
Summon: 1/day—1d6 tree-beastsa.
Surprises: On a 1-5, due to camouflage.
Volant Decomposition: Once dead, its corpse liquefies into a hissing, black, tar-like substance called demon blood^B that forever scorches the ground where the Tarngrak fell. The first time the greater demon is killed, it leaves behind one of the five parts of the tower key of chaosb.

The Guzzler

AC 7 [12], HD 6+3*** (30 hp), ATK 1 × massive hand (2d6 + grab), THAC0 13 [+6], MV 120’ (40’), SV D8, W9, P10, B10, S12 (7), ML 12, AL chaotic, XP 1,650 (extraordinary peril bonus), NA 1d2, TT D

Echolocation: Warbles to detect sounds and vibrations from prey within 40’. This effect automatically pinpoints anyone who is not frozen in place. Motionless prey are also detected (4:6 chance), even those with partial cover (2:6 chance). A silence 15’ radius spell blinds Guzzler.
Eyeless: Visually blind; immune to vision-based spells or effects.
Grab: Grabbed victim is constricted for 2d6 damage per round (until Guzzler swallows); a save vs. paralysis allows escape on later rounds.
Massive Hands: Can grab up to an ogre-sized creature in each hand. Can’t interact with doors or use handles or levers.
Mundane Damage Immunity: Harmed only by magical attacks but even they deal half damage.
Outer Void Physics: If a magical attack deals 7+ damage to Guzzler, it must save vs. paralysis to avoid being stunned for 1 round; its form struggles to stay in this reality.
Seep: Can seep through cracks and holes. This takes 1d4 rounds before it reforms again.
Swallow Whole: 1/round: swallows a grabbed victim in lieu of attacking. Its maw opens impossibly wide, revealing a malodorous pit in its slimy black gullet. It devours victims without limit.
The Gullet: 1/round: swallowed victims take 1d6 damage. If Guzzler is stunned or reduced to 0 hp, a victim can escape with a save vs. paralysis, forcing Guzzler to regurgitate it.
Unnatural Death: At 0 hp, Guzzler’s body begins contorting as if twisting and tearing into a thousand pieces. When the round ends, anyone within 10’ of Guzzler is sucked into a dimensional vortex and ripped apart forever (save vs. death avoids).
Zombie Spawn: Anyone swallowed and killed gets regurgitated as an entropy zombie^A in 1d4 hours.

Titanic Spider Crab

Massive crustaceans dwelling on the ocean floor near thick patches of coral reef, the titanic spider crabs are a rare sight. A single specimen’s shelled body is over 5’ wide with legs extending up to 15’ long. From end to end, its body-span is 35’. The crab’s twin pincher-arms reach out and grab prey from a great distance; in fact, oftentimes the spider crab’s target doesn’t even know the predator is lurking nearby before it’s too late. The spider crabs have bright red and orange shells that blend in with the colorful coral reefs they inhabit.

AC 2 [17], HD 7 (31 hp), ATK 2 × pincers (3d6), THAC0 13 [+6], MV 60’ (20’) / 120’ (40’) swim, SV D10, W11, P12, B13, S14 (4), ML 7, AL neutral, XP 650 (extraordinary peril bonus), NA 1d2 (1d6), TT –

Ravenous: Attacks any moving creature.

Tree-Beast of Tarktuktulak

These twisted, trunkish monsters resemble a dead tree, but are alive and hateful towards the living. A treebeast lingers among nearby jack pines and other foliage, hidden. It is possible to sneak up to one, thinking it is a tree. But then the character hears a faint but labored breathing. It suddenly attacks!

When a tree-beast turns violent, a guttural wortling noise emits from its trunk. Only a druid understands it: he hears the beast’s un-utterable curses in the name of its demon god, an entity called Tarktuktulaka, the Dark Deer. Research reveals it is an Enoruuk deity instituted during Baalor’s wicked reign. If asked, the Enoruuk elders become somber and then look out into the wilderness, saying only that “Tarktuktulak comes at night, with the dark and the moonlight,” and then they end the conversation.

After a tree-beast kills a victim, it plants its root-like feet in the ground near the corpse, slurping up the victim’s blood that seeps into the soil.

AC 2 [17], HD 5 (22 hp), ATK 2 × slams (2d4), THAC0 14 [+5], MV 150’ (50’), SV D10, W11, P12, B13, S14 (5), ML 10, AL chaotic, XP 175, NA 0 (1d4), TT K

Bark Skin: Takes only half damage from nonaxe-like weapons. Immune to smaller missiles, like bolts, stones, and arrows.
Rooting: If it plants its root-like feet into the soil within 15’ of a fresh corpse, it slurps up the victim’s blood as it seeps into the earth. This heals the tree-beast 5d8 hp over 1 turn.
Surprises: On a 1-4 in a forest, due to being mistaken for a tree.
Vulnerable to Fire: Saves at -4 against fire attacks and takes maximum damage from them; when fire attacks are first used against the tree-beast, its morale score drops to 6, and it must make a morale check immediately.

Trow

Sired by demons, the Trow are degenerate giants born from the infernally sullied wombs of their Ragnaalan mothers. The hulking brutes can grow to gigantic sizes: the typical polar white-skinned specimen stands around 15-18’ tall and weighs between 6,000-7,000 lbs. Called “the Wicked Gods of the North” by the Enoruuk, who greatly fear their destructive might, the Trow fled into the uninhabited wastes far beyond the Gorogungamar Mountains after the Cataclysm of Chaos.

The arctic giants truly despise other creatures, seeing in them only cheap slaves, tasty fodder, or bloody mortar for their fearsome “skin-walls,” which they often erect to make a pointed, diplomatic statement to those negotiating with them. Worse, the Trow do not merely conquer other races to plunder their riches—the giants prefer the sweet taste of human and dwarvish blood and pack their favorite dishes with the roasted organs and flesh of lesser races.

In battle, the Trow are devastating to smaller foes.

They prefer to ambush enemies, as the cruel giants very much relish the look of sheer surprise and absolute terror in the final moments of their victims’ lives.

Obscuring mist is their favorite way of doing this, as the spell resembles the misty polar air, and their foes rarely suspect it is magic. Underground, the Trow use the blacklight spell to avoid being seen when resting. When the giants close in melee, they unleash mighty kicks and fatal sword strikes. Few can withstand even one giant in direct combat, much less an angry squad of the enormous brutes.

AC 3 [16], HD 13* (58 hp), ATK 1 × sword (5d8) or 1 × ice boulder (2d8), THAC0 10 [+9], MV 150’ (50’), SV D4, W5, P6, B5, S8 (13), ML 10, AL chaotic, XP 2,300, NA 1d2 (1d4), TT D, Gear huge two-handed sword, polar bear furs (400 gp).

Spell Casting: As 6th level caster. 1/day—blacklight, obscuring mist, resist fire.
Wicked Cunning: The Trow are intelligent giants; they are military tacticians who view themselves with haughty superiority; they adapt quickly to the strategies of intelligent enemies.

Trow Skeleton

This is the corpse of a long-dead Trow that has been animated by a necromancer.

AC 7 [12], HD 13 (58 hp), ATK 1 × sword (5d8) or 1 × ice boulder (2d8), THAC0 10 [+9], MV 150’ (50’), SV D4, W5, P6, B5, S8 (13), ML 12, AL chaotic, XP 1,350, NA 1d2 (1d4), TT –, Gear huge two-handed sword, polar bear furs (400 gp).

Tundra Dragon

An airborne terror of the arctic plains, the tundra dragon rarely ever lands on the surface. It much prefers roaming the skies while scanning the ground below until it spots a suitable meal. Then, it begins circling its chosen victim, heightening the fear of those pursued.

The mighty predator loves to slow its target first, to further increase its terror. But when the dragon is finally ready to eat, it swoops within range and fires a precise bolt of lightning to slay its prey in a single shot.

Only after this is accomplished will the tundra dragon land to scoop up its meal. The dragon always returns to its lair with the victim’s corpse, eating in solitude and in secret.

The tundra dragon appears as a massive, horned dragon, with razor-sharp dorsal fins running down its back spine. Grayish-white scales cover its exterior body, but the dragon’s underbelly is sky blue. A tundra dragon’s ice-blue, vertical eyes can spot prey up to one mile away, though it is not the brightest among its kin—bore and taiga dragons are much smarter.

AC 0 [19], HD 10** (45 hp), ATK [2 × claw (1d8), 1 × bite (4d8)] or breath, THAC0 11 [+8], MV 90’ (30’) / 240’ (80’) fly / 60’ (20’) burrow, SV D6, W7, P8, B8, S10 (10), ML 9, AL chaotic, XP 2,300, NA 1d4 (1d4), TT H

Breath Weapon: 3/day: 100’ long, 5’ wide line of lightning (damage equals dragon’s current hp; save vs. breath for half) or 50’ long, 40’ wide, 20’ high cloud of slow gas (save vs. breath or suffer slowness: ½-normal movement rate, -2 to hit and saves, and always lose initiative for 6 rounds).
Lairs: A dragon’s treasure is always kept in its well-hidden lair and is seldom unguarded.
Language & Spell Casting: 40% chance tundra dragon can speak (its own tongue, Drakon, plus others) and cast randomly selected magic-user spells, using its HD as a caster level. It knows 3 × 1st level spells and 2 × 2nd level spells.
Immunity: Immune to lightning.
Sharp-Eyed: Can see incredibly far; its eyes are forward-facing, like a falcon or eagle, which grants it accurate binocular vision.
Sleeping: 35%. May be attacked at +2 to hit while sleeping on the ground.
Subduing: Will surrender if reduced to 0 hp by non-lethal attacks (see “Other Combat Issues” in Old-School Essentials Advanced Fantasy Player’s Tome), admitting that it has been defeated. (Subdual damage does not reduce the damage done by the breath weapon.) A subdued dragon will attempt to escape or attack its captors, if the opportunity presents itself or if given a suicidal command. A subdued dragon may be sold for up to 1,000 gp per hp.

Tundra Griffon

Born with the body, tail, and hind legs of a whitefurred tiger, but strangely bearing the head, foreclaws, and wings of a giant, white-feathered, rough-legged hawk, the legendary tundra griffon is a skilled predator of the arctic plains. It feeds on caribou, seals, otters, dall sheep, mountain goats, fresh-water fish, polar bear cubs, and sometimes foolish adventurers.

The griffon builds a cliffside nest out of sticks and animal bones. Interestingly, some adventurers swear that the tundra griffon’s eggs are often laid amid gold nuggets that the giant creature intentionally plants around them. Sages have no idea why the tundra griffons do this, but this is why greedy treasure-hunters often seek out griffon nests.

An interesting, little-known fact about this majestic beast: it sees partially into the ultraviolet light spectrum, allowing it to spot mammalian urine on the ground, especially in snow. This signals to the hungry griffon where it might find abundant prey.

AC 4 [15], HD 7+2 (33 hp), ATK 2 × claws (1d6), 1 × bite (2d6), THAC0 12 [+7], MV 150’ (50’) / 300’ (100’) fly, SV D10, W11, P12, B13, S14 (4), ML 8, AL neutral, XP 450, NA 0 (2d8), TT E (50% in gold nuggets).

Attack Arctic Mammals: Within 120’, unless a morale check is passed.
Hunter’s Best Friend: A trained griffon adds +2 to one’s wilderness hunting chances.
Taming: Captured young can be trained as loyal mounts. Their fierce nature, however, cannot be trained: griffons still instinctively attack their traditional prey if spotted within range. (Horses and mules are excluded from this, as they were recently introduced to Titherion, and the griffons have not tasted their flesh.)

Ulurrugnak

AC 1 [18], HD 18***** (81 hp), ATK 1-120 × tentacles (1d10 + paralysis), 4 × oral arms (1d12 + grab), 1 × snapping bite (4d6 + severing teeth), THAC0 7 [+12], MV 120’ (40’) / 150’ (50’) swim, SV D2, W3, P4, B3, S6 (18), ML 11, AL chaotic, XP 7,750, NA 1, TT R

Damnation: If a possession attempt fails after the demon is slain, Ulurrugnak’s spirit drenches its target in water, as if it had been fully submerged; then, howling with rage, it is trapped inside the Megalith of Yetza-har’ab.
Demon Traits: Doesn’t need air, food, or water.
Immortal. Telepathy 100’.
Detestable Recrudescence: If 666 victims are ritualistically murdered and their suffering offered to a demon, the harnessed power frees and reconstitutes Ulurrugnak again.
Final Possession: Anyone who kills the demon must save vs. spells or suffer its diabolical possessionc. Over 2d4 weeks, the victim’s skin changes, becoming more and more like the slimy, clear exterior of a jellyfish. The victim struggles to breath air and longs to swim in the depths of Lake Helvarragh or the ocean’s dark waters. After this period ends, the victim permanently transforms into a giant jellyfish. If the possessed victim dies for any reason, Ulurrugnak can attempt to possess a new creature within 180’.
Fire Defense: Only if the demon’s head has emerged from the lake water can it be targeted by fire attacks (e.g., fireball).
Grab: Grabbed victim is constricted for 1d12 damage per round; a save vs. paralysis allows escape on later rounds.
Killed Victims: Will be drawn to the body and digested over 1d4 rounds. Such victims cannot be raised or reincarnated.

Spell Casting: As 18th level caster. Constant—detect evil, know alignment, nondetection, read languages, read magic, true seeing; at will—darkness, ESP; 3/day—cause disease, curse, dispel magic, emotion, illusion, wizard eye; 1/day—contact higher plane, mass suggestion, visitation; 1/week—dream quest.
Tentacles: Each underwater foe within 240’ can be attacked with 8 tentacles per round.
Volant Decomposition: Once dead, its corpse liquefies into a hissing, black, tar-like substance called demon blood^B that forever scorches the ground where the Tarngrak fell. The first time the greater demon is killed, it leaves behind one of the five parts of the tower key of chaosb.

Ambush: Drops on its prey.
Carapace: The demon’s carapace has 94 hp and AC -3 [22]. Attacks hitting Yeguryaq target its carapace until destroyed, unless a called shot is made against the demon’s tough, rubbery flesh with a piercing weapon (e.g., arrow, spear) at -2 to hit. If successful, the inflicted damage reduces the demon’s hp, not the carapace’s hp. Once destroyed, Yeguryaq grows back the carapace 1 AC point per day until it is fully rejuvenated 12 days later.
Cling: Can move on walls and ceilings.
Damnation: If a possession attempt fails after the demon is slain, Yeguryaq’s spirit flies into the environment’s nearest cracks or holes as the sound of 10,000 rushing spiders crunch and squeal at once; then, howling with rage, it is trapped inside the Megalith of Yetza-har’ab.
Demon Traits: Doesn’t need air, food, or water.
Immortal. Telepathy 100’.
Detestable Recrudescence: If 666 victims are ritualistically murdered and their suffering offered to a demon, the harnessed power frees and reconstitutes Yeguryaq again.
Final Possession: Anyone who kills the demon must save vs. spells or suffer its diabolical possession^C. Additionally, the victim begins to itch at his skin, feeling something crawling on it. This sensation grows over the next week. Then, once per 4d6 hours, 1d3 insect swarms (4HD; black widow spiders; swarmed victims must save vs. poison or be at -2 to hit and saves for 1d4 days) erupt from the victim’s mouth, ears, and orifices. The victim takes swarm damage as the spiders exit (1 swarm per round). A swarm attacks all creatures in the vicinity, especially children. If the possessed victim dies for any reason, Yeguryaq can attempt to possess a new creature within 210’.
Legs: Palp-hook victims fall prone, while walking leg victims get knocked 15’ back.
Mundane Damage Immunity: Harmed only by magical attacks.
Pain Venom: Venomous bite inflicts agonizing pain; victim at -4 to hit and saves (2:6 chance per round victim falls to the ground screaming in agony, unable to act); venom kills in 1 turn.
Severing Legs: To cut a leg off, a melee attack is made with a slashing weapon (e.g., sword) at -4 to hit; the weapon must deal 15+ damage in a single hit to sever a leg. Once severed, the demon regenerates a new leg in 6 turns, if it’s sitting still and concentrating.
Sheer Terror: Victim seeing demon for the first time must save vs. paralysis or flee for 3d6 turns (3:6 chance of dropping held items); a cleric or paladin of 10th level or higher saves at +4.
Spell Casting: As 21st level caster. Constant—detect evil, know alignment, nondetection, read languages, read magic, true seeing; at will—dispel magic, hypnotism, web; 3/day—cause disease, curse, dimension door, fear, hypnotism, invisibility; 1/day—chaos, charm monster, cloudkill, death spell, finger of death, teleport.
Summon: 3/day—1d4+1 intelligent phase spiders; 1/day—1 Tarngrak (any).
Surprises: On a 1-3 in the wilderness; on a 1-4 underground; on a 1-5 in its lair.
Umbral Webs: Forms a nest by weaving a 10’ cubic area of magical darkness per round. This area blocks normal vision and infravision, and light sources brought within the enshrouded area do not illuminate it. A creature passing through the tangibly clinging shadows moves at 1/10th its movement rate; every round, it must save vs. spells or become entangled and unable to move. Breaking free requires an open doors check. Continual light destroys a single 10’ cubic area of the umbral webbing.
Volant Decomposition: Once dead, its corpse liquefies into a hissing, black, tar-like substance called demon blood^B that forever scorches the ground where the Tarngrak fell. The first time the greater demon is killed, it leaves behind the skull key of Thar-Gannonb.

Ground Swallow: 1/week: all living creatures within 40’ must save vs. paralysis while cracked and dried arms, caked in mud, burst from the ground and grasp at them; victims are pulled into the earth on a failed save at a depth based on their margin of failure: by 1-5 points, buried to their waist; by 6-10 points, buried to their shoulders or neck; by 11+ points, buried completely—suffocationc begins. Even on a successful save, victims are at ½-normal movement rate until next round. A protection from evil wards victims against this ability.
Mirror Magic: 1/day: if the magician fails a save against a spell (or is not allowed one to resist it), he may save vs. death to avoid its effect.
Shape-Shifting: 3/day: may take on the form of a humanoid creature roughly the same size; clothing and possessions are hidden, too. This lasts up to 3 hours or until dismissed. A detect illusion reveals the magician’s true form.
