Kelsey's wildlife biology services - Need an animal or beast?


Homebrew and House Rules


Tell me what it is and what CR range you would like it to fit in to, and I'll write it up a set of Pathfinder statistics for it. It has to be of the Animal or Magical Beast type, and it must either be a real animal or present in mythology or folklore. It can be an extinct animal such as a dinosaur if that's what you want. I don't mind if it's a bit of an esoteric animal. My point here is to write up as many new animals and mythological creatures as I can (especially extinct ones).


A Dire Camel. Seriously. A stronger, more potent camel that can cause the Nauseated Condition with its Spit attack instead of Sickened like normal camels. Nice avatar btw.


Yea, I like the tiefling cleric avatar. For the specific purpose of wildlife biology, however, this other one perhaps works a bit better.

Dire camel up. I imagine it as having a bony carapace over vital areas like a dire bear, but you can disregard that if you don't like the mental image it presents. I can up the CR if 3 isn't powerful enough. Also, I could find a replacement for trample if you want. I added that ability with badass Osirian camel cavalry in mind.

Trample (EX): As a full-round action, a creature with the trample ability can attempt to overrun any creature that is at least one size category Smaller than itself. This works just like the overrun combat maneuver, but the trampling creature does not need to make a check, it merely has to move over opponents in its path. Targets of a trample take an amount of damage equal to the trampling creature’s slam damage + 1-1/2 times its Str modifier. Targets of a trample can make an attack of opportunity, but at a –4 penalty. If targets forgo an attack of opportunity, they can attempt to avoid the trampling creature and receive a Reflex save to take half damage. The save DC against a creature’s trample attack is 10 + 1/2 the creature’s HD + the creature’s Str modifier (the exact DC is given in the creature’s descriptive text). A trampling creature can only deal trampling damage to each target once per round, no matter how many times its movement takes it over a target creature.

Spit (EX): Once per hour, a camel can regurgitate the contents of its stomach, spitting the foul material at a single target within 10 feet. The target must make a DC 16 Fortitude save or be nauseated for 1d4 rounds. The save DC is Constitution-based.

** spoiler omitted **...

Please, do! I really like camels and would love to play a Samurai who rides one! Thank you very much!


A muscaliet, if you wouldn't mind. It can be wild or used for an improved familiar.

There are a whole list of things here for anyone else that might want something unusual.

Any animal from Australia or unusual animals like the capybara or tree sloth or, well, song birds for that matter...
