<p>In this specific case, since we didn't yet have ANY CR 20 monstrous humanoids in any Bestairy, I wanted to fix that and put in a CR 20 monstrous humanoid. And rather than make one up (like I did with the deathsnatcher to do the same thing for another missing CR), I wanted the CR 20 one to have as much nostalgia and weight and impact as possible, so having it be something relatively recognizable from mythology that builds upon one of the game's most recognizable and iconic monstrous humanoids (medusa) made a lot of sense.</p>Sauce987654321 wrote:Milo v3 wrote:Unfortunately I was unable to psychically determine the CR of monsters (especially when it'd only be around CR 12 max going off the myths by paizo seems to put all real-myth figures at ridiculously high CRs)
