"Give us the women and children and we'll let you live."

Callicantzari are humans born anytime from Christmas to New Years day (or in some stories January 6) who become vampire or werewolf like beings after they die (although some stories consider them a type of Goblin) if they have led a sinful life or are not buried properly.  Half human and half animal their goal is to create more of themselves by stealing the souls of children, or abducting women they can forcibly impregnate (odd considering they're dead and all...).  Only active in our world from Christmas to New Years they ruin holidays by playing pranks, and committing murder to indulge their taste for blood and raw flesh.  They also molest women, ruin food, and eat corpses.  Callicantzaros speak their native languages, and Infernal.  

Sharp Claws (Ex): The claws of the Callicantzari are said to be able to deform metal.  Attacks made with them are considered touch attacks.

Steal Babies Souls (Su): At will as a Standard action the Callicantzaros can make a touch attack on a human toddler or infant, and if successful the victim must make DC 16 Willpower Save or die (Save DC is Charisma based).  The next year during Christmas it arises from Hell as a new Callicantzaros.

Rage (Ex): The Callicantzaros gets a +3 Bonus to Attack and Damage rolls (this increases to +5 against living relatives).

Spoil Food: At will as a Standard action a Callicantzaros may spoil and befoul up to 1 pound of food per Hit Die as long as it is within 60'.  It becomes obviously inedible, but if someone tries it is mildly poisonous (Ingested, DC 16 Fortitude negates, Initial and Secondary damage 1d3 Strength, Save DC is Charisma Based).

Hellish travel (Ex): If a Callicantzari can find a gave it may travel to hell as a Full Round Action, bringing up to one Medium Size creature weighing up to 160 lbs. with it.  It may also travel to Earth from Hell, but only during Christmas to New Years.

Weaknesses (Ex): Callicantzari cannot approach garlic closer than 10', and cannot enter any door or window with a cross painted on it (usually with tar).  To prevent them coming down chimneys it is thought wise to keep a fire going, particularly a fire that burns herbs like hyssop, thistle and asparagus, or the wood of fruit trees.  Some stories say they cant enter a fireplace that has a pig's jawbone hung from it.  Babies born at the wrong time can supposedly be saved from unlife by holding them feet first over a fire until their toenails are turned black, and then removing them.  Once the toenails are consumed by the family the baby is safe.  Ew.

Combat: Callicantzaros prefer to initially perform pranks such as causing noise, spoiling food, etc.  But eventually their rage at their situation overwhelms them and they give way to rape and murder, preferably by ambush.  They are savage and feral in combat using little in the way of tactics.

work in progress

"Looks like a rat, smells like a skunk - some call them bone-eaters."

Killer Shrews are mutants grown to enormous size due to scientific experiments.  They share their smaller cousins prodigious breeding rates, and (unfortunately) their enormous appetites.  This means they quickly wipe out the available food in any isolated areas in which they occur unless exterminated quickly.

Poison (Ex): Injury, DC 14 Fortitude Save, Initial and Secondary Damage 1d3 Constitution (Save DC is Constitution based).

Hyper Metabolism (Ex): Shrews must eat three times their own body weight each day or risk starving to death (see DMG page 304).  The Shrew may go 8 hours without food, and then must make a Fortitude check each hour (DC 10+1 per previous check).  However they get a Bonus to Initiative Checks, Attack rolls, and Damage rolls equal to their Constitution modifier.

Poison Assimilation (Ex): Killer Shrews gain a +8 Racial Bonus on ingested Poisons as they're metabolism quickly assimilates it.  If the Shrew eats an Ingested Poison and succeeds in it's Fortitude Save it's poisonous bite becomes worse.  If the Save DC of the ingested Poison is higher than that of the Shrews, the Save DC of the Shrews poison raises to match it for 24 hours.  Regardless of the other poisons effects it also increases the damage of the Shrews poison to 1d6 Constitution.

Skills: Shrews gain a +4 Racial Bonus to Listen, Search, Spot, and Survival Checks.

Combat: Shrews charge, take their prey down and begin eating even before it dies.  Ew...

"Have you heard the reports of a 'giant lizard'?"

The Giant Gila Monster is theoretically a normal lizard with a pituitary gland problem according to the film (yeah, right).  It hints there may be more than one, and the size of the creature in the film does vary a bit from around 30' long in some shots to over 60' in some.

Poison (Ex): Injury, DC 38 Fortitude Save (Save DC is Constitution based), Initial and Secondary damage 1d8 Dexterity.

Improved Grab (Ex): If the Giant Gila Monster successfully hits with it's Bite attack it can immediately make a Grapple Check as a Free Action without provoking an Attack of Opportunity.

Trample (Ex): DC 40 Reflex Save for half damage (Save DC is Strength based).

Burst of Speed (Ex): 3 times per day as a Swift Action the Gila Monster can increase it's base land speed to 50' for 1d4 rounds.

Combat: The Gila Monster generally ambles along putting up the occasional burst of speed to catch something and bite it, or trample it to the ground.

"Something in the sewers is killing people."

Sewer Gators are alligators supposedly surviving after being flushed down the toilet in their youth.  Sometimes there is also the rumor that they have grown to huge size or increased toughness due to exposure to toxic waste.

Improved Grab (Ex): If the Sewer Gator is successful with it's Bite Attack, it may immediately make a Grapple Check as a Free Action without provoking an Attack of Opportunity.  If it is successful it may Swallow Whole.

Capsize (Ex): If the Sewer Gator surfaces under a boat Large Size or smaller it has a 65% chance of capsizing the boat.

Crushing Tail (Ex): Opponents struck by the Sewer Gators tail must make a DC 25 Fortitude Save or be Stunned 1 round (Save DC is Strength Based).

Swallow Whole (Ex): With a successful Grapple Check a Sewer Gator may Swallow an opponent at least 2 Size Classes smaller than itself.  The swallowed opponents take 2d8+10 bludgeoning damage and 10 points of acid damage per round.  It may try to escape by doing 25 points of damage to the Gators stomach (AC 15) with a light slashing or piercing weapon.  Once it exits muscular action closes the hole and other victims must cut their own way out.  A Gators stomach may hold 1 Medium, 4 Small, or 16 Diminutive or Smaller opponents.

Hold Breath (Ex): Sewer Gators may hold their breath for (8 times Constitution Modifier) rounds before it risks drowning.

Skills: Sewer Gators gain a +8 Racial Bonus to Swim Checks and may Always Take 10 on a Swim Check.  They may use the Run Action while swimming in a straight line.  They also get a +4 Racial Bonus to Hide Checks in the water, or can submerge until only their eyes and nostrils show giving them a +10 Cover Bonus to Hide Checks instead.

Combat:  Sewer Gators use their bludgeoning tail to clear a path and break up groups of opponents/prey.  Against a single victim they bite and swallow.

"Oh my God! They're herding us like cattle! "

After eating toxic waste ants grow to giant size and become intelligent and telepathic.  My god if only we had known this, bad things could have been avoided! 

Improved Grab (Ex): If the Ant successfully hits with it's Bite Attack it immediately gets to make a Grapple Check as a Free Action without provoking an Attack of Opportunity.  If successful it does bite damage each round.

Pheromone Spray (Ex): At will the Queen Ant can unleash a burst of pheromone gas in an area radiating 10' from herself.  Anything breathing this gas must make a DC 20 Willpower Save or become part of the ant Hivemind (Save DC is Constitution based).  They can communicate with the ants and willingly obey orders as though under a Dominate spell.  This lasts one week, and as long as it is reapplied before wearing off the victim doesn't get another Save.  If it wears off the victim gets a Save like normal when it is reapplied.  If however the Queen is injured and uses her Incite Frenzy ability all victims of this ability get another Willpower Save with a +6 Bonus.  They also get another Save (along with the Bonus) if attacked by Ants (or without the Bonus if they get reduced to half HP or less).

Incite Frenzy (Ex):  Whenever the Queen is injured she can put out a telepathic call for help as a Standard Action.  All Ants within 1 mile will make their way towards her, killing everything in their path to do so, even their mind controlled human pets.  The Frenzy lasts until 1d6 rounds after they have reached the Queen and killed whatever has caused her pain.  While in a state of Frenzy Ants get a +2 Bonus on Attack and Damage rolls.

Hivemind (Ex):  All Ants within 25 miles of their Queen are in constant telepathic contact, and if one is aware of a danger they all are.  No Ant is considered Flanked or Flat-Footed unless they all are.

Skills: Ants get a +8 Racial Bonus to Climb Checks and may always Take 10 on a Climb Check.

Combat:  Ants seem pretty straightforward in their attacks, but they try to herd intruders towards their Queen so she can gas them and make them part of the collective.


Writers notes: I know they're mutants due to toxic waste, but Magical Beast seemed the best fit Type wise

"Aww you's a good lil' kitty..."

The Chordewa is a vampire witch from Bengal known from the myths of the Oraon people.   The Chordewa crafts a second body in the form of a large black cat, and astrally projects him/herself into it to after leaving their own body in a safe place.  The cat then travels to a village and ingratiates itself to people behaving very affectionately.  It then licks one of them on the lips (usually someone already ill or dying to make it easy to hide their powers), and that persons soul is slowly drained away by the Chordewa.  Some legends say the cat can lick the person anywhere, or even just their shadow.  The cat can be identified because its meow sounds like a child in distress.  If the cat is injured, the wounds appear on the Chordewa's body, thus to rid oneself of the Chordewa one must destroy it's avatar.

Cat Body (Su): The Chordewa can prepare a second body in the form of a cat (see stats above).  Once it is ready she hides somewhere safe, and goes to sleep activating the cat form.  Damage and effects that are applied to the cat form are applied to her real form as well (they share hp).  The Cat Form has her 'soul' for lack of a better term inside it, so effects that target her life force must target the cat form once it is activated.  She only needs to eat and drink in cat form to nourish her hidden human body which does not age.  She automatically knows the location of her hidden body at all times.  Preparing the cat body requires materials costing 25 GP, and at least 24 hours.  Once she has activated the Cat Form she usually stays in it, but if she must switch she returns to her old body and it takes a Standard Action for her soul to switch places.  Once this happens if the inert cat body is found and destroyed, she must merely make a new one, but she gains no benefits from Devour Soul as long as she is in her human form.  While in Cat Form the Chordewa may use her Dex Mod instead of her Str Mod for CLimb and Jump Checks.  She also gains a +4 Competence Bonus to Climb, Hide, and Move Silently Checks, and a +8 Competence Bonus to Balance and Jump Checks.

Devour Soul (Su): If the Chordewa can make a melee touch attack on a victim while in her cat body she curses him if he fails a DC 15 Willpower Save (Save DC is Charisma based).  The curse does one point of Constitution Drain per day, and to stop it the Chordewas Cat Body must be destroyed.  Once the victim reaches 0 Constitution the Chordewa permanently devours his Soul, and he may not be Raised or Resurrected.  For every two points of Constitution the Chordewa Drains, the Save DC of her spells and Devour Soul ability is increased by +1 for 24 hours.  If she eats the victims Soul, she permanently gains a +1 to the Save DC's.

Spells: Chordewas can cast spells as a Sorcerer whose level is equal to their Hit Dice.  Any levels she takes in Sorcerer stack with her Hit Dice for spellcasting purposes.

Hard to Catch (Ex): In Cat Form the Chordewa gains her Charisma Modifier as a Bonus to all Initiative Rolls, Reflex Saves, and Grapple Checks made to Escape Grapples.  She also doesn't take Size Modifiers to Grapple Checks.

Combat: Chordewa usually avoid people in their human form, and pretend to be cats in cat form.  They do not initiate combat, preferring to let their ability to Devour Souls work for them.

I have a book called the Vampire Encyclopedia.  I'm slowly converting it to DnD.  No worries there will be other spookity critters coming.

Any thoughts on how I should make the ability to devour others souls benefit the Chordewa?  It says they grow more powerful but doesnt really get specific.

How about cursed individuals lose 1 con per day, and x con gives the Chordewa abilities?

The Ninki Nanka is described as a dragon or dinosaur like cryptid with a flickering tongue and bright red mouth.

Improved Grab (Ex) If the Ninki Nanka is successful with it's Bite Attack, it may immediately make a Grapple Check as a Free Action without provoking an Attack of Opportunity.  If it is successful it may Swallow Whole.

Swallow Whole (Ex): With a successful Grapple Check a Ninki Nanka may Swallow an opponent at least 2 Size Classes smaller than itself.  The swallowed opponents take 2d8+10 bludgeoning damage and 10 points of acid damage per round.  It may try to escape by doing 25 points of damage to the Nanka's stomach (AC 15) with a light slashing or piercing weapon.  Once it exits muscular action closes the hole and other victims must cut their own way out.  A Nanka's stomach may hold 1 Medium, 4 Small, or 16 Diminutive or Smaller opponents.

Hold Breath (Ex): Ninki Nanka may hold their breath for (8 times Constitution Modifier) rounds before it risks drowning.

Combat: Ninki Nanka usually charge, bite, swallow, and flee.  They will attack again if there are only one or two more opponents, but larger groups will cause an attack, swallow, flee, attack pattern.

"We told him not to go down by the river."

This is the mythic version of the Ninki Nanka an omen of death said to look somewhat like an oriental dragon.

Fiery Mouth (Su):  The Ninki Nanka's mouth is full of fire, doing an extra 4d6 fire damage with a successful bite attack.

Bad Omen (Su): Any living creature that can see the Ninki Nanka within 150' must make a DC 25 Willpower Save (Save DC is Charisma Based) or die.  If it succeeds the victim gains a -4 penalty on any Saving Throw that would mean it's death for 1 year.  This effect can be dispelled by Remove Curse, Miracle, or Wish.


Hold Breath (Ex): Ninki Nanka may hold their breath for (8 times Constitution Modifier) rounds before it risks drowning.

Combat: Since it's mere appearance tends to kill people the Ninki Nanka is generally satisfied with killing a victim or two.  It knows the rest will die.

"Burt...whut the hell is that thing on the freaky bald guys neck?"

Spinal parasites are foul three legged parasites with what appear to be an exposed brain and a proboscis they use to feed on their preys spinal fluids.  Common in the Far Realm borders with other worlds, they can be very dangerous to unsuspecting travelers.

Attach (Ex): If the Spinal Parasite successfully hits with a melee touch attack it attaches itself, and is effectively Grappling it's prey.  It loses it's Dex Bonus to AC, but has a +12 to Grapple Checks to maintain the Hold.  It can be struck with a weapon, or the opponent can Pin it in a Grapple to remove it.

Probe (Su): Spinal Parasites do 1d3 Int Drain with a successful Grapple Check.  If the opponent is Psionic he also drains 1d3 power points.

Crush Mind (Ps): The Spinal Parasite can use the Mind Thrust power at will (Manifester Level 1), however it has no power points and must use it's Probe ability first.  It may use Mind Thrust once for each power point drained.

Blind (Ex): Spinal Parasites have no eyes and are immune to attacks that Blind them by means of darkness, flashes of light, sand to the face, etc.

Skills: Spinal Parasites gain a +8 Bonus to Climb and Jump Checks, and may use their Dex Modifier instead of Str for these Checks.  They may always take 10 on a Climb Check.

Combat: Spinal Parasites try to Attach to unaware prey, and use their Probe ability.  It then uses it's Mind Thrust if able to cover it's retreat.
