Need monsters for Mononoke-hime inspired game...

[Zombieneighbours]

Hey guys,

I am starting to put together a scenario for a new group. One of the core elements of inspiration is Mononoke-hime(Princess Mononoke). Giant animals spirits, Kodama, Samurai, that kind of thing.

Any suggestions for monsters that might be fit into the game, would be very useful.

Kodama = Kami
Elk (Giant Elk, River Elk)
Other herd animals:
Antelope
Aurochs (Mountain Aurochs, Storval Aurochs)
Bison/Buffalo

Camel
Deer
Goat

Grangeri
Moose
Ram

Sheep
Scythe Horn

Giant Animal Template

Bestiary A & B Second section is "Animals".

For reference of oriental stuff, check this wiki on Tian Xia (and the rest of the world).

Off the top of my head there's a template for "The Worm that Walks" that might work, stat-wise, for the creatures that die and become animated.

You could also convert some animals to magic beasts the math is basicall bab saves and hp i think.

If there are wolf gods and boar gods, why not spider gods? Sinces spiders tend to scare people you could add sentience, hit dice and spell like abilities for swarm creation and control to you favorite giant spiders.

The samurai could also be some flavor of Oni as well. Ogres, ogre mages and even orcs could fill in the mechanics with an altered appearance.
