The Lurking Rays are Lurker Above(male), Trapper(female), and Executioner's Hood(baby) and they are in the Misfit Monsters Redeemed book.

Is the lurker family really in? Damn, hoped they were left out, that's 3 spaces less for me personally to feast my eyes on....
Really hope MANY of the re-used monsters AT least have new artwork, I know Vouivre has, I hope others like Jinmenju and Lorelei have too.
Spring Heeled Jack and Grim Reaper NEED new fanart, the old one is really really not suiting.
What exactly is a Lorelai? A search on google only comes up with Gilmore Girls junk.

In german myths a mermaid/siren like creature sitting on a rock luring men to their doom.
In Pathfinder a cool stone anemone creature that kinda looks like a medusa head made from stone.
The original myth is basically a siren/sirine, only on a rock in River Rhine.
The Pathfinder version is a fairly ugly rock-head with tentacle-hair looking aberration which murmurs into people's minds to make them come to it so it can drown them in a whirlpool.
Springheel jack is just as gothic as the Grim Reaper, it may have the horns and stuff, but the artstyle is just weird.
What are Spring Heeled Jack and the Grim Reaper originally from? One of the APs?
Carrion crown, which was a strange AP reeks with artwork, it didn't really suit in with all the other artwork in my opinion.
The part with the lovecraft monsters did very well on the other hand, but the gothic artwork of the others didn't really do the creatures right in my op.
What are the new playable races, if I may ask.
What are the new playable races, if I may ask.
There are none. A few of the playable races from Advanced Race Guide have been reprinted here for GMs to use as enemies, but otherwise there are no new 0 HD playable races.
Got my e-mail! Yes! Now downloading.
If anyone wants info, I'll be able to start talking about it in a few hours.

Yes, I'm hogging for myself at first. :p

Not sure if Mikaze is going to like the elohim. They are many things, but celestials (or even Good-aligned) is NOT one of them.
I wish I knew the CR of the elohim at least.

CR 23 (MR 6)
Also ... ew. After reading the Flesh Colossi's entry (and seeing its picture) I don't think I will EVER be clean again.
To all of you who thought that Colossi were just reskinned transformers ... no. No they are not.
I have 3 questions.
1: Any Mantis-based monsters in the book?
2: Are the Elohim normal creatures or Legendary unique creatures much like the Great Old ones?
3: Did the Springheeljack Get new artwork?
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
... oh.
Oh man.
Demon Lords can use polymorph any object at will while they're on their Abyssal Realm. And if they use this ability on something native to their realm, the duration factor increases by 6 ....
That's just ... AWESOME.
What is the juggernaut? Its CR and what kind of monster it is.
What creature type is the Jack o' Lantern?
2: Are the Elohim normal creatures or Legendary unique creatures much like the Great Old ones?
They're only CR 23; Cthulhu can eat them for brunch.
But the elohim are implied to be their own race and not a unique creature.

For the Outer Dragons, the alien presence ability is NASTY. It functions as frightful presence, but instead of the fear effect, each outer dragon's alien presence has a unique effect. Here's a rundown:
Lunar Dragon: Target is affected as touch of idiocy (or feeblemind if the creature has 4 or less Hit Dice) for 5d6 rounds.
Solar Dragon: Target is blinded for 5d6 rounds (or permanently if it has 4 or less Hit Dice).
Time Dragon: Target is staggered for 5d6 rounds (or stunned if it has 4 or less Hit Dice).
Void Dragon: Target is sickened for 5d6 rounds (or nauseated if it has 4 or less Hit Dice).
Vortex Dragon: Target treats all other creatures as though they were under the effects of blur (or displacement if it has 4 or less Hit Dice).
The art for the dragons is okay; they mostly look weird and translucent. All of them are Neutral on the Good vs. Evil scale except for the Void Dragon, which is NE.
What type of abilities do Elohim have? They sound very interesting.
Thanks for all the info so far, btw.
IS the Void Dragon artwork the same as the one in the mythic book?

Oh ... oh gods ....
The drakiana .... Its basically an evil, baby-making aberration. It can impregnate creatures with its spawn (yes, even the gentlemen) and all impregnated creatures within 30 feet of a drakiana have their gestation increased to 2d4 rounds, even if your baby WASN'T a drakiana-spawn! What's worse, the rapid, forced pregnancy deals damage to you and breaks any armor that you happen to be wearing. (Unless it was a natural pregnancy, in which case it is merely hasted, the baby is mutated.)
I'm barely through the D's, and I can say that this book is FILLED with horror monsters. Everything from psychological horror to body horror is in this book. Its very refreshing considering that these monsters mess with characters' bodies in a way that is more quantifiable than, "You take 2d6 points of Constitution damage."
Edit: She's a named monster, CR 25 (MR10), so just shy of the power level of a Demon Lord. She's called "a mother of monsters," so I wonder if she's a reference to Grendel's mother. We need a fact-checker, stat!

Drakiana sounds a bit like the greek female dragons? Are they related?
She sounds more like Echidna to me! That is also the greek mother of all monsters. Too bad she's such a high CR monster...
IS the Void Dragon artwork the same as the one in the mythic book?
No, its not. Its 100% different.

Guess who just got an idea for adventure involving one of Lamshtu's temples :3

Yeeeesssssss....

1. Though there are insectoid type creatures and some creatures with mantis like appendages, there are no Mantis-based monsters as such.
2. Not normal creatures by a long shot, but not unique beings either. Alien angel sort of works, but the problem is they are so alien they seem beyond the concepts of our morality.
3. No.
