Create a Bestiary-style Golarion monster, including physical description, stat block, and general monster description, in no more than 600 words.

• LIMITATION: Entry must be a CR 7 monster.
• LIMITATION: Entry cannot be a construct, dragon, ooze, or outsider.
• LIMITATION: Entry cannot be or use a monster template (fiendish, lich, and so on).
• LIMITATION: Entry cannot have class levels.
• LIMITATION: Entry must be no longer than 600 words. All words in the provided format count toward this total, but the code tags such as [b] do not. Note that if you hit the Preview button before you hit Submit, the message board software will tell you what the word count is for your monster, which gives you a chance to edit it down if it's over the word count.
• LIMITATION: Entry must be a new Golarion monster (not world-neutral or set in a world other than Golarion).

Entries must be submitted through the submission tool at paizo.com/rpgsuperstar beginning at 2 PM Pacific time on February 7, 2012, and must be received by 2 PM Pacific time on February 10, 2012. As with Round 2, you probably shouldn't wait until the last minute to submit your monster.

Public voting begins on February 14, 2012 and ends February 20, 2012.

FORMAT: You must follow the monster format included below. It can also be found under the Rules and FAQ for Round 3. The stat block format in the link is designed so you can copy and paste it into your submission form.

You probably should hit the Preview button just to give your monster a final look before you hit the Submit button. Remember to type your monster's name in the subject line of your submission (the submission process uses the message boards, so the subject line of your submission is what people will see first) and do not include BBCode (such as [b]) in your subject line. The subject field should include only the monster's name and, optionally, a *brief* descriptive tag. (Example: "Zurbolax, Eater of Eyes")

Notes for the Competitors

Here are some tips for using the above stat block, and building stat blocks in general.

• ## is a placeholder for a number, so an entry like "Init +##" should be something like "Init +2" or "Init -2" in your monster stat block.
• zz is a placeholder for anything other than a number (obviously, "zzSize" means you should replace it with a game term for size, such as "Medium," not "zzMedium").
• When you are finished, your monster stat block should not have ## or zz in it at all.
• If your monster doesn't have an ability mentioned in the sample stat block format (such as DR, SR, Immune, a "plus" effect for a melee or ranged attack, a conditional skill bonuses, or racial skill modifiers), delete that ability and its placeholders. For example, if your monster doesn't have damage reduction, delete the "DR ##/zzMaterial" and the semicolon after it so the line starts with "Immune."
• If your monster has an ability that isn't presented in the sample stat block format (such as Spells Known), add it to the stat block, making sure to put it in the correct section of the stat block (for example, Spells Known goes in the Offense section) and match the bold and/or italic format for that ability as shown in a printed stat block.
• If the monster doesn't have Feats, Skills, or Languages, delete the entire Feats, Skills, or Languages line.
• If your monster has Space 5 ft. and Reach 5 ft., delete that entire line (the default is a monster with that size and reach).
• When you are finished, your stat block shouldn't have any "blank" entries like "DR —."
• The Defense, Offense, Statistics, and Ecology lines have "-----" at the beginning and end to visually offset those section headers. This is because the messageboard code doesn't allow you to underline text, and this is an easy and clear way to duplicate the printed stat block format for this purpose. Do not tamper with those lines.
• In a printed stat block, the individual listings for the spell-like abilities are indented, but it's difficult to make that work in the messageboards, so if your monster has spell-like abilities, just use the non-indented format as presented in the above sample stat block.
• If your monster has a new ability (such as "Arcane Vengeance" or "Eyeball Eater"), you must explain it in the Special Abilities part of the stat block.
• If your monster has a common ability from the Pathfinder RPG Core Rulebook (such as sneak attack) or a universal monster rule from the Bestiary or Bestiary 2 (such as grab or stench), you do not need to provide the description of that ability in the Special Abilities part of the stat block (we assume the reader knows how sneak attack, grab, and stench work, or can look them up in the appropriate book).
• When in doubt as to how to format part of your stat block, check the monsters in the Bestiary and universal monster rules.
