Just some thoughts on what I learned writing the Book of Monster Templates

If you reply to the blog with your template suggestion I will work on those for the next part.
Interesting thoughts. I attempted to post my template suggestion at the blog, but I'm not sure it worked. Just in case, here's my template suggestion: Tanngrisnirian Beast. This template can be applied to any animal. It changes the animal so that it comes back from the dead the day after it is killed, even if it is eaten. :)
Pet Sematary, Young Sherlock Holmes (the dead chicken coming back to life on the plate) or something else? Which version?
I'm flexible. I just like the idea of PCs wondering, "Didn't we kill that exact same dire tiger yesterday?"
I did something very similar to this with the Eternal Creature in Book of Monster Templates but why not.
