In the Taihei chronicles of old Japan, in the autumn months of 1334, a ghastly spirit in the form of a bird appeared in the sky at night above the capital's ceremonial hall. In a chilling and eerie voice, the bird would rasp "Itsumademo?!" meaning "How much longer?!". This was the first chronicled appearance of an Itsumade. The restless spirit could breath fire, had the body of a snake, a boney human-like face, claws like knives, and a wingspan of five meters. The visage and sounds of the beast disturbed and frightened the court nobles, so they hired a master archer to shoot down the Itsumade, bringing its wailing to an end. It is said that the creature was born from the spirits of the countless victims of the plague, whose dead bodies had been dumped on the capital's outskirts. Its cries were in sympathy for the spirits that bore it, asking how much longer they would go without a proper burial.
As well as those that died from the plague, other Itsumade have been born in times of great suffering. People who are allowed to starve to death are known to become Itsumade and haunt the ones that allowed them to starve. Their screeching at night can be heard as saying "Itsumade?" meaning "How long?", asking how much longer they must go on being neglected. You hear a scream from the sky. It means something along the lines of "Itsumade!?" (How long!?). When you check its source, you see a immense, bizarre creature - it has an oversized human skull in the place of its head, the body of a bird, covered in blue feathers, and a snake tail. Its head displays bright feathers growing straight from the bone. Occasionally small flames leave the creature's mouth.
CombatBefore engaging in combat, Itsumade uses its wailing in order to spread chaos among its enemies, then attacks using its Flyby Attack, taking a -5 penalty to its attack rolls in order to use Power Attack. However, should the target prove to be too nimble, Itsumade stops using Power Attack.
If its foes are grouped, it will use its breath weapon coupled with entangling exhalation to leave them evem more susceptible to its aerial assaults. Itsumade also uses its breath weapon to finish off running foes.
Once engaged in combat, Itsumade fights to the death.
Dark Aura (Su): Itsumade's existance is a cursed one, and the dark powers that created it grant him protection. Itsumade is constantly under the effects of a
protection from good spell. Additionally, all attacks and spells targeted against it have 20% miss chance.
Death's Gift (Su): depending on how the people who gave origin to the Itsumade died, it gains one of the following abilities:
Beastly Form: people devoured by wild animals or magical creatures are the source of this Itsumade. This creature gains 2 secondary claw attacks that deals 2d6 + half of Itsumade's Strength, the Multiattack feat and the pounce extraordinary ability.
Contagious Essence: victims ravaged and killed by plague gave birth to this Itsumade. Unlike other gifts, this ability is separated in two:
Contagious Cloud: As a standard action, Itsumade may release a cloud of infectious fumes, affecting all living creatures within 30 ft. from it. An affected creature is afflicted with a disease that slowly consumes their life unless they succeed on a DC 25 Fortitude save. If the creature makes this first save, this ability has no other effects, as the disease has been countered.
When using this ability, roll a d6. The result determines which ability score will be affected by this disease:
1- Strength
2- Dexterity
3- Constitution
4- Intelligence
5- Wisdom
6- Charisma
This disease takes 1 day to incubate, then the affected creature must make an additional Fortitude save every day or take 1d4 points of ability damage to the selected ability score. This ability can be used once every 1d4 rounds.
Countagious Presence: all creatures afflicted with any disease within 30 ft. from this Itsumade must make the Fortitude saving throw related to their diseases every round they remain within this area. On a failed save, they suffer the effects of the disease normally - usually ability score damage. On a successful save, they avoid the effects of the disease for that round, and the disease still affects him normally.
Drowning Urge: Itsumade was born from victims of drowning. As a standard action, each living creature within 30 ft. from the Itsumade are subject to the
stolen breathSpC spell. This ability can be used once every 1d4 rounds.
Hungry Presence: the Itsumade was born from those who starved to death. At the start of each round, each living creature within 30 ft. from the Itsumade take hit point damage equal to half the Itsumade's hit dice (rounded down). Then, for every creature damaged in this way, the Itsumade gains 5 temporary hit points. These temporary hit points disappear after 1 minute. Temporay HP granted by this ability does not stack; only the greater value applies.
Poisonous Presence: people who were killed with poisons gave birth to this Itsumade, who is enveloped in a poisonous aura. At the start of each round, each living creature within 30 ft. from the Itsumade take 1d4 points of Constitution damage. A successful DC 25 Fortitude saving throw negates the ability damage.
Suicide Urge: the Itsumade was born from people who met death by killing themselves. As a standard action, each living creature within 30 ft. from the Itsumade are subject to the
death urge psionic power. A successful DC 25 Will saving throw negates the effect.
Violent Urge: the Itsumade was born from those killed with excessive violence, such as victims of particularly cruel assassins, who would leave nothing of the victim. As a standard action, all living creatures within 30 ft from the Itsumade must succeed on a DC 25 Will saving throw or be taken over by uncontrollable rage, seeking only to kill and destroy all. For 1 round, all affected creatures must make a full attack against an adjacent creature; if there's no target within range, it moves to such target, charging if possible, otherwise it takes a move action then attacks it. This is a mind affecting ability.
Breath Weapon (Su):Wailing (Ex): Itsumade's wailing freezes the soul of those who hear it. Itsumade can wail as a standard action, and all creatures within 120 ft. from it must succeed on a Will saving throw (DC 25) or be panicked for 2d4 rounds. Creatures who make the save are shaken for the duration instead. Each creature affected by this ability is immune to further wailings from the same Itsumade.

What else can I add to this little fella? The way it is now, Itsumade is quite plain... limited to flyby attack'ing to death, with the occasional breath weapon... I was thinking in adding some Necromancy SLAs ...Edit: added some stuff to Itsumade... increasing its CR by 1.
Edit1: added plague related stuff to Itsumade...
