Drain Humanity (Su): The touch of a Darkwraith drains humanity. Any creature, living or undead, touched by a Darkwraith gains 1 negative level, even if they would normally be immune to negative levels due to creature type. The Darkwraith, meanwhile, gains 5 temp HP (which last for 1 hour) for every negative level they bestow. Furthermore, for 1 minute after a Darkwraith drains humanity, it gains a +1 morale bonus to hit and damage.

Special Abilities
Grime Spew (Ex): This ability functions as a breath weapon. The mass of souls releases a vomit-like spew of clinging acid. Creatures can avoid this spew with a DC 26 reflex save. Those that fail to evade suffer 4d6 acid damage per round for 6 rounds and are slowed. A creature may make a Fort save each round (DC 26) to negate the slow effect and reduce the acid damage to 2d6 for that round.
Whisp Release (Ex): As a standard action, a mass of souls can release a whisp - a humanity-seeking skull-shaped orb that explodes on contact with a humanity-possessing target, dealing 14d6 fire damage (Ref DC 20 for half) to a 20 ft radius burst. The mass of souls must wait 1d4 rounds before creating another whisp, but there is no limit to the number they can create per day.

Ground Upheaval (Ex): A stone guardian can, as a full-round action the round after missing a target with an greataxe attack, tear its axe out of the ground to cause an explosion of debris around it. This explosion causes no damage to the stone guardian, but all other creatures within a 15 ft. radius of the stone guardian take 10d6 blunt damage and are knocked prone. A DC 18 Reflex save halves the damage and negates being knocked prone.
Keen Vision (Ex): Stone Guardians have unusually good vision, particularly when seeking threats at range. They take half the usual penalties for distance to perception checks. Also, they treat perception as if they had ranks equal to half their HD in it, even though stone guardians do not have an int score.

Skills Climb +20, Perception +14
Languages Abyssal, Common, Infernal
Special Abilities
Impale (Ex): As a standard action, the chained prisoner can attempt to impale a victim of medium size or smaller. The chained prisoner must first hit the target (with a +21 bonus). If successful, the target takes 2d10+12 damage and 1 con damage as the chained prisoner runs them through. At that point, the chained prisoner makes a CMB check against the victim's CMD score. Success indicates that the victim is also grappled, in which case they are lifted bodily into the air, stuck on the end of the spike. A chained prisoner never gains the grappled condition from while grappling a foe in this manner. A chained prisoner cannot impale a second victim so long as the first victim is still attached to its spike. An impaled victim does not take additional damage each round, but instead takes 2d6 bleed per round while impaled and for 4 rounds after being freed. A cure spell can end the bleed early, but not while hte victim remains impaled (ie, still has the grappled condition).
A victim can free itself by making a successful CMB check to break the grapple as normal (effectively pulling themselves off of the spike). Alternatively, a victim can choose to take an additional 1d6 con damage to end the grapple condition as a full-round action by tearing themselves off of the spike, effectively disemboweling themselves. Again this special method of freeing oneself only applies to impale-based grapples, not any other grapple the chained prisoner attempts.

Special Abilities
Abyss Rain (Su): Manus rains bolts of dark energy down from above. This ability functions in a similar fashion to the firestorm spell, but rather than dealing fire damage, it deals 22d6 negative energy damage. All creature in one of the effected 5 ft squares may make a Reflex saving throw to dodge or a Will saving throw to resist, but not both. The DC for both saves is 25, and either save reduces the damage by half (abilities that cause creatures to take no damage on a successful save, such as Evasion or Stalwart, work normally).
Dark Orb Barrage (Su): Manus releases a cone of negative energy (in the form of many dark orbs) that blast any target in its path. All creatures within a 60 ft cone must make a DC 25 Reflex saving throw to dodge or a DC 25 Will saving throw to resist, but not both, or take 22d6 negative energy damage. Creatures that pass either save take half damage (as Abyss Rain above).
Long Arm (Ex): Manus can manifest a "long arm" - a tentacle-like limb that functions as a tail for the purposes of attacks and damage. This "long arm" is able to make tail sweep attacks as if Manus was a gargantuan dragon.
Multiattack Expert (Ex): Manus is skilled at the use of both manufactured weapons and his natural attack. As such, he applies his full strength bonus to both, as if he were a two-weapon fighter with the double-slice feat.
Soul Deflection (Su): Manus gains a bonus to deflection equal to his charisma modifier.
Yay!
What about Artorias and Gough?
Gough is a friendly NPC, and other than Priscilla (who is also technically an area boss), I haven't stated any of the friendly NPCs yet.
For Artorias, I thought about it and originally planned to, but I got stuck on how to portray him.
The Artorias we meet in game is wounded and corrupted. That meant that I had two design options:
Option 1: Build the unseen full power non-corrupted Artorias and then apply modifications based on his broken arm and the abyss corruption.
Option 2: Just create a monster based on his corrupted form and assume that new monster to be at full power/health.
Option 1 felt cumbersome, and Option 2 felt incomplete.
Instead, I'm thinking that what I want to do is, at some later point, create a set of healthy NPC stat blocks for Artorias, Orinstein, Gough, and Ciaran. And maybe Havel too, since I skipped his hollow form.
Which means that, for proper monsters, I am down to just Gwyndoline and Gwyn.
After that, it's all NPCs, which I should probably make a new thread for.
Also, I'm not sure I want to do NPCs next or a smattering of DS3 monsters. This all started because I got my DS miniatures, and several of them are DS3 specific (Giant Hollow Axemen, Winged Knight, Outrider Knight, and Dancer of the Boreal Valley), so I want to stat those four at the very least.

Special Abilities
Dead Eye (Ex): All of Gwyndolin's ranged attacks, including ranged touch spells, apply his dexterity modifier to damage as precision damage. This additional damage does not apply to creatures that are immune to sneak attacks, critical hits, or other forms of precision damage.
Permanent Images (Su): Gwyndolin's illusion spell-like abilities are extended unto infinity - they only end if disrupted, dispelled, or if Gwyndolin specifically cancels them. As such, they are all treated as both permanent image spells as well as the spell listed. For example, the Dark Moon Sanctum is protected by a permanent screen SA. This ability is tied to his illusion of Gwynevere. If that image is destroyed, all of his other illusions lose their permanency (and, since they have all since continued past their duration, end immediately). Gwyndolin can create a new master image of Gwynevere (using programmed image above), but doing so takes 24 hours.
Edit: Whoops! Typo fixed.
Gwyndolin is closer to the deadly-level I'll actually use as written...so thanks!! I'll probably slap some serious kineticist options on him as well. :D

Special Abilities
Godsword (Su): Any sword that Gwyn holds becomes +5 flaming burst speed while in his hands.
Explosive Hand (Su): If Gwyn grapples a creature (requiring an unarmed strike), that victim suffers 24d6 Fire damage in addition to normal grapple damage.
Mythic Rank 0: Gwyn, Lord of Cinders, was an MR 10 creature in life. However, what remains of a Lord of Cinder is little more than a burnt out husk. As such, Gwyn retains MR 0, which causes him to count as a mythic creature for the purposes of feats and abilities that specifically target (or fail to target) mythic creatures while retaining almost none of the other benefits. He only gets half of the proper Mythic DR for his HD, and he can only use the base ability of his one remaining mythic feat. Gwyn has no Mythic Power or Mythic Surge. Gwyn loses his champion's strikes and all of his path abilities except one - "always a chance", which eliminates automatic misses on a roll of natural 1 to hit (ie, if he rolls a nat 1 on his first attack, and 31 to hit would hit his target's AC, then he hits as normal rather than auto-failing).

Anyway, since I'd prefer to do some more low-to-mid CR monsters rather than high level NPCs next, I've moved on to Dark Souls 3 for a few highlight monsters.
While I work on Outrider Knights, I will pose this question to all of you: what creature type is Pus of Man?
Ooze?
Aberration?
Something else?
I'm currently leaning towards a large Ooze with a vaguely proto-shoggoth bent.
It's technically something else...lorewise but we aren't to spend too much time on that part:
I would go with an Ooze, just because it would give about the same immunities as undead.
My DS3 Lore isn't as good as my DS1 Lore, but I was under the impression that the Pus of Man was basically wild humanity (similar to the Humanity Phantoms and Bloatheads). That was one of the reasons I went with ooze or aberration as my top two - because that's how I stated the Humanity Phantoms and Bloatheads respectively.

Somewhat related to that, the age of Gods, when the pact between humans and gods were respected was known as the dragonless era.
Some people essentially believes that Pus of Man is the last stage before the birth of a dragon and related to the Dark Sigil(Accumulation of curse, seems to always be on the shoulder).
So guess it would be something between undead and dragon if that makes any kind of sense.

Interesting. Okay, I can work with that.
A semi-related question: Outrider Knights. I was planning to stat them as undead, but then two things occurred to me.
1) They appear to be abyss-corrupted, which I often stat as aberration instead of undead (such as bloatheads).
2) They don't respawn. While that obviously has more to do with them being mini-bosses (or actual bosses) than anything else, it could also imply that they aren't actually undead.
Thoughts?

Monstrous Humanoid (If just monster HD) or Elemental-infused Human (if you want to go with class levels).
Trying to avoid class levels. My earlier builds relied on that and they took a lot longer to make. Plus, with one exception, the Outriders appear to have lost all semblance of their former selves, so class levels don't make much sense.
Also, I decided to go with aberrations because aberrations and undead have the same HD and saves and I didn't want to have to recalculate everything (since I was 85% done with them when I had my "they aren't undead" realization). Plus wiki page for the Dancer specifically mentions "caustic dark ooze that drips from her body" and compares her to abyss-tainted Artorias. And if I was going to build him post-abyss tainting, it would be as an aberration.
Speaking of which...

Special Abilities
Control Host (Su): The Pus of Man can occupy a living or undead creature. While it does so, the possessed creature behaves normally, although the Pus of Man can choose to control the creature as if it were dominated. However, the Pus of Man cannot use any of its other abilities while controlling a host. To do battle itself, it must Emerge (see below).
Emerge (Ex): When the host creature is slain or when the Pus of Man decides to take direct action, it can emerge from its host, exploding up out of the host's body from the shoulder and taking the form of a proto-dragon (see below). If the host is not already dead, emerging immediately kills the host.
Proto-Dragon (Su): After emerging from its host, a Pus of Man takes the form of a dragon made of Ooze sticking out of the corpse of its former host. It retains control over the host's legs - one of the few parts of the host that still work, but otherwise behaves entirely as a large sized dragon for the purposes of attacks and breath weapon.

Cool!
Hmmm, why did you decide to make he Winged Knights Undead, more specifically the ones with access to miracles and who can actually fly?
Well, I didn't make the more advanced version. The one I made was the one wandering around in the Undead Settlement.
As to why undead - because I had no reason to assume it was otherwise. When I see a dude in armor in Dark Souls who does not speak, I tend to assume "hollow" unless given evidence otherwise.
That is, of course, why I started making the Outrider Knights undead, then started working on the Dancer, realized she wasn't undead, and had to go back and fix the basic Outriders.
The Dancer's Lore made me question whether she or the other Outriders were undead. The Winged Knights lore, meanwhile, doesn't suggest much of anything except that they may be some sort of experiment created in the Grand Archives that escaped. There was nothing to suggest creature type, so I went with default (undead).
However, I will be the first to admit that I am much better versed in DS1 lore (which I have played) to DS3 lore (which I have not played yet).
Honestly, the only reason I statted the Winged Knight at all is because I have a miniature of it that I want to use. If not for that, I'd likely just have skipped it for now.
Pontiff Knights are hell on wheels with their multiple guard breaking attacks.
Since Pontiff Sulyvahn is going to feature in my game this fall/winter, Pontiff Knights have made the short-list of remaining DS3 monsters I'm going to make.
However, my employer needs me to do some extra work this week, so I may not have them up as quickly as I have the last few.
Pontiff Knights are hell on wheels with their multiple guard breaking attacks.
Speaking of Pontiff Knights, would you say that they are Medium or Large size?
I wanted to make them Medium to match the other Knight style enemies (Black/Silver Knights are medium for example), but one look at a Fire Witch and I was like "yeah, Fire Witches are large" so I was wondering if I should go back and size-up Pontiff Knights to match.
Thoughts?
Hmmm I am guessing medium
Hmmm I am guessing medium
Okay, good.
They're very tall, but also very skinny. I don't really get the impression that their weapons or stuff are larger than normal.
Am I over-reacting to the Fire Witch size then? Should they be medium also, since they to are tall and skinny? Cause they're REALLY tall.

As a full-round action which costs of 2 uses of channel negative energy, Archdeacon Royce can create a dark orb above his head. Any nearby deacons can also spend 2 uses of channel negative energy to add their own power to the orb. The following round, at the beginning of Archdeacon Royce's turn, the orb tracks its target. This tracking does not require line of sight, but the target must be within 120 ft of Archdeacon Royce. The target is permitted a reflex save to dodge the attack at the last moment (DC 21 negates), but the target takes a -2 penalty to that save if they cannot see the orb (such as if they have hidden behind a wall). The orb deals Archdeacon Royce's channel negative energy damage plus the damage of each deacon that adds to it, up to a maximum of 26d6. Furthermore, a creature slain by this attack suffers a Bestow Curse spell (Will 21 negates) upon respawning at the bonfire.

Oh - here's some guys I made a while ago, but planned to post after I did more NPC type entries. Since I've jumped over to DS 3 instead, I figured I'd just stick them up anyway.
Also, in case anyone's wondering, this represents my current idea for creating NPCs with the Undead Curse. They remain "humanoid" type but gain "undead" as a subtype. They also gain 2 undead HD in addition to the HD they gain as humanoids with class levels (I may take that out, since it is rather cumbersome and I have streamlined my approach more since this, but these guys can be grandfathered in since I don't want to have to recalculate everything).
For the purposes of spells, effects, positive energy, etc, they count as humanoids not undead - unless the go hollow, in which cast their type changes fully to undead and they no longer count as humanoid for the above.
Thus Cure Light heals these guys, but harms Hollows. Detect Undead, Searing Light, and Control Undead treat creatures that are humanoid (undead) as any other humanoid.
However, for the purposes of aging, eating, sleeping, drinking, breathing, etc, humanoid (undead) creatures count as undead. Plus the whole "respawn at bonfires" thing.
So yeah, that's my solution - a humanoid type that has "one foot in the grave" so to speak.

Here's an open conceptual question for people.
What race are the people of Anor Londo?
Some of them appear to be at least part-human. While the Silver Knights in Anor Londo seem to be illusions, the Black Knights you fight elsewhere do appear to be undead.
Likewise, the Darkmoon Fire Keeper appears to be a former human as well.
Plus, there's the whole "everything in two sizes" thing that Anor Londo does - big stuff for the big people and small stuff for the small people.
Artorias and Ciaran both look human, but apparently neither identify as human. However, Artorias seems to have SOME trace of the dark soul in him since he was corrupted by the Abyss (which requires humanity).
Contrast with Dusk of Oolacile, who is an elf in concept art, and who is the only female (non-fire keeper/non-hollow) other than Ciaran that you can't drain humanity from (implying that neither of them is human). This also explains why Dusk is unaffected by the abyss (she has no humanity to drive wild).
Artorias, meanwhile, does. Not much (Elizabeth says he has not a trace of darkness, and Ciaran doesn't consider him human), but apparently some since he is transformed.
Anyway, so in Anor Londo, we have some medium humanoids that have no humanity (Ciaran), some medium humanoids who DO have humanity (Artorias, Silver Knights/Black Knights), some large humanoids who are either independently immortal or can become undead, and the gods.
One suggestion I've seen is that the "gods" are actually just the same giants we see elsewhere, but ascended to "Lordship" by Gwyn's First Flame fragment and the resulting bloodline therefrom.
Another suggestion I've seen (in this very thread) is that the residents of Anor Londo are celestials. In theory this could work - if Artorias was an Aasamar with human blood, thus tainting him with the Dark Soul.
I have also considered following the Dusk president and making the medium humanoids of Anor Londo into elves and half-elves.
I ask because I'm doing some concept work (race and class) for the Four Knights of Gwyn and Havel the Rock (all of whom I am building in their 'prime').
One idea was to make Artorias and Havel half-elves, Ciaran a full elf, Gough a huge giant, and Ornstein a large giant.
Another idea was to make Artorias and Havel aasamars, Ciaran a medium celestial, Ornstein a large celestial, and Gough a huge giant (since everyone seem to agree that Gough is a straight-up giant).
Sooo... thoughts?

"However, Artorias seems to have SOME trace of the dark soul in him since he was corrupted by the Abyss (which requires humanity)."
I don't think it's stated anywhere that you have to have humanity in order to be corrupted by the abyss, in 3 you fight a Dragon corrupted by the abyss even. Having a piece of the Dark Soul would make you more susceptible to the abyss though.
As for Artorias and the other knights I believe Aasimar would work, being lesser gods serving Gwyn and his family.
Regarding the Gods though that I think about, something Keith Baker said regarding the Dael'kyr from Eberron and why they looked like humans, "That's not what you should be asking, what you should be asking is why humans look like them."
Also going off the appearance of Gwyndolin, Priscilla, Yorshka, Fillianore, and the Painter and reading the description of the Gold and Silver Covestous Serpent Rings my headcanon is that the Gods, and not the Primordial Serpents, are the "Serpents" the rings speak of. It's possible they could even be offshoots.

Guess the four knights are technically lesser gods. I suppose in pathfinder term, you could even compare them to Nephilim. but corrupted of course.
If you are doing stuff from Dark Souls III, wouldn't Ornstein at least have to be an alter ego or a Tulpa?
You mean Ornstein's empty armor that you fight in DS3? I think I would just make that a separate monster. Like one of those CR 2 Undead Armor creatures from B4 (I think? Maybe B3?). But much higher CR, obviously.
Anyway...
Okay, the consensus seems to be to go with the Aasamar build. Cool.
I suppose in pathfinder term, you could even compare them to Nephilim but corrupted of course.
**makes a face**
While the Paizo interpretation of the Nephilim is accurate to some legends, I really dislike it. Several other (arguably more important) legends rely on Nephilim being nearly indistinguishable from humans. Which is why the Book of Passion features a version more accurate to those legends.
... of course, I suppose I could use my version of Nephilim from the BoP... which is medium sized and basically an aasamar/tiefling crossbreed.

Rolling Attack (Ex): As a full-round action, a ravenous crystal lizard can roll 80 ft., attacking all creatures in its path. During the roll, it may attack a total of six times, each at +14 for 1d8+3 damage. If only a single target it in its path, it can apply all six attacks to that target. If multiple creatures are in its path, it can divide up the six attacks as it likes.

No transformation sequence?
They can't/don't attack in wingless form, and they don't use their 'transformation' for ambushes or surprising people, really, so it's more of a descriptive flavor thing. It doesn't "do" anything to help them mechanically.

Here's two knights and Havel. I did them at "minimum" level - that is, the lowest level they could be and still do all the things they do. To create tougher versions, just level them up some more.
Oh, and note the Design Notes below Havel which explain where some of the feats come from.

DESIGN NOTE: Divine Heritage is a feat I just made up. It is identical to "Fiendish Heritage" except that it applies to nephilim instead of tieflings. It replaces all nephilim racial traits aside from the ability bonuses, darkvision, and languages.
DESIGN NOTE 2: Archon Defense and Archon Technique are taken from "Path of Iron" as the only way I could find to allow Havel and Artorias to shield bash with tower shields.
