Below you will find stats converted to the Pathfinder Beta for the set piece contained in A Memory of Darkness. Our group has decided to finish of the Second Darkness AP using the beta rules and then switching to the final rules when we start our next campaign.
Our group consists of 6 rowdy characters so the CR of most creatures have been advanced by 1. This set piece has been commonly commented upon as being not very difficult for a group of 12th level characters. My players were not quite to 12th level and the set piece worked well to get them the extra xp needed to get over the 11th level hump, but I must agree with the masses... Even with the added CR, this was a cakewalk.

Quills (Ex)
A howler’s neck bristles with long quills. While biting, the creature thrashes about, striking with 1d4 of them. An opponent hit by a howler’s quill attack must succeed on a DC 16 Reflex save or have the quill break off in his or her flesh. Lodged quills impose a -1 penalty on attacks, saves, and checks per quill. The save DC is Dexterity-based.
A quill can be removed safely with a DC 20 Heal check; otherwise, removing a quill deals an extra 1d6 points of damage.
Howl (Ex)
All beings other than outsiders that hear the creature’s howling for an hour or longer are subject to its effect, though it does not help the howler in combat. Anyone within hearing range of a howler for a full hour must succeed on a DC 12 Will save or take 1 point of Wisdom damage. The save DC is Charisma-based. The save must be repeated for each hour of exposure. This is a sonic mind-affecting effect.

Challenge Rating: 12
Treasure: Large +2 breastplate, dusty rose prism (ioun stone), belt of mighty constitution +2, 30 pp
Alignment: Always chaotic evil
A hezrou’s natural weapons, as well as any weapons it wields, are treated as chaotic-aligned and evil-aligned for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.
Improved Grab (Ex)
To use this ability, a hezrou must hit with both claw attacks. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity.
Spell-Like Abilities
At will—chaos hammer (DC 18), greater teleport (self plus 50 pounds of objects only), unholy blight (DC 18); 3/day—blasphemy (DC 21), gaseous form. Caster level 13th. The save DCs are Charisma-based.
Stench (Ex)
A hezrou’s skin produces a foul-smelling, toxic liquid whenever it fights. Any living creature (except other demons) within 10 feet must succeed on a DC 24 Fortitude save or be nauseated for as long as it remains within the affected area and for 1d4 rounds afterward. Creatures that successfully save are sickened for as long as they remain in the area. A creature that successfully saves cannot be affected again by the same hezrou’s stench for 24 hours. A delay poison or neutralize poison spell removes either condition from one creature. Creatures that have immunity to poisonare unaffected, and creatures resistant to poison receive their normal bonus on their saving throws. The save DC is Constitution-based.
Summon Demon (Sp)
Once per day a hezrou can attempt to summon 4d10 dretches or another hezrou with a 35% chance of success. This ability is the equivalent of a 4th-level spell.
Skills
Hezrous have a +8 racial bonus on Perception checks.

Lastly, during the climatic battle with Vodzur. Our love-able, invisible wizard riding on a flying carpet decided it would be nice to cast baleful polymorph on the Hezrou during the first round of the encounter. He ended up with a net result of 27 to overcome the Hezrou's spell resistance. I then proceeded to have the d20 come up a 2 for the demons fortitude save and a whopping 6 for his will save. The result is a very unusual bunny now in the care of our group's druid. Dare I say that it has sharp pointy teeth....
