Hey, everybody. I've been GMing for about two years now, and I've never had too much trouble with creative inspiration. However, I've been writing an 8th level Pathfinder campaign specifically for Halloween, and it takes heavy inspiration from Castlevania, the Diablo series, the Dark Souls series, and just a tiny pinch from The Lord of the Rings trilogy. It's made for four players plus my NPC(Leon Belmont), and it's a bit longer than a one-off(it should take about three sessions to complete, maybe one more if they have too much trouble with the boss), I've already planned the entire campaign area, traps, and ambush locations. There's just one problem: there are certain creatures that I want to convert into Pathfinder compatible monsters, and I can't figure it out!
First and foremost, the wheel skeletons from the Dark Souls series. Anybody who has ever played a Souls game knows that these guys are not to be messed with. Specifically, I'm looking for a somewhat fragile enemy that delivers a home run hit to anything it runs over with a charge action. I can just lay the wheel skeleton skin over it if anything existing fits my needs.
Secondly, Castlevania's iconic medusa heads and flea men. With the flea men, I think I'm probably going to use the Springheel Jack creature from one of the Pathfinder Bestiaries, but I'm not sure what to do for medusa heads. My first thought was to use 3.5 beholders as a template. I'm definitely open for suggestions.
Bear in mind that I'm planning to use Mimics, assassin vines, a succubus(or maybe two), some of the higher level undead creatures, hand-crafted hollows, and several other types of enemies that you would expect in this type of setting. I'm open to any and all suggestions as to what anybody might think would be good in this type of campaign, not just the ones listed above.
Thanks for your help everyone!
