Creating mythical monsters

[Nagaruo365]

Hey there,

I can't find anything in the mythical adventure book on monster creation. I wanted to know how do you know how much HP a monster gets per mythical rank and some sample powers you can give them.

If someone can point me out in the good direction it would be great, thanks!

OK sorry I searched 2 minutes and I found it on page 224... Sorry again

Creating mythic monsters is great!

As it turns out, mythic monsters can poach abilities from other monsters, specifically anything from the Universal Monster Rules section of the Bestiaries (in addition to any standard mythic monster abilities or mythic path abilities of heroes).

Additional Mythic Abilities: The monster gains a number of mythic abilities equal to its MR + 1. Such abilities can be drawn from the mythic path abilities for mythic heroes or the mythic abilities listed with the monsters in this section, or it can be a new ability you create by taking inspiration from those abilities. These abilities should be thematically appropriate for the creature.

Some new monster abilities are especially powerful; at the GM's discretion, they can count as two abilities toward this total. For example, the mythic fire giant's fire vortex ability could count as two mythic abilities.

In place of a mythic ability, the monster may gain a universal monster ability, such as rend or pounce, either from an existing Bestiary or from this section.

So...yeah...the creative possibilities are endless! A true monster mash up!

A troll with fire and acid immunity, as well as split would be nigh unstoppable! A water elemental that can move through beach sands thanks to earth glide or burrow? Or a multi-headed hydra with the split ability that turns into two (or more) single-headed hydras when struck with a slashing weapon?

What sorts of amazing, challenging, or fun ideas can you brainstorm?
