All right, so, with my life getting more complicated, of course now is the time I need a unique critter...

So, here's an open call to people with more time on their hands and/or more experience building their own critters from scratch:

I need a CR 12 medium-to-large-sized neutral evil unique outsider who bills himself as "the Prince of Pleasures," but who is mostly a big, fat, horrible thing- charm abilities need not apply, although compulsions are absolutely within theme. Ideally, he's mostly-humanoid, with four arms- claw or slam attacks preferred. I see him as having an abysmal ground speed, but supernatural flight (poor maneuverability). Dexterity low, constitution high, good saves will and fortitude... and that's all I've got on him... Jabba the Hutt meets Baron Harkonnen with evil outsiders of all sorts working for him (he has Kytons, Devils, Demons, Daemons, and Oni all on his payroll as it were- no summon ability required, and plot device hand-wavery will account for his diverse hiring practices).

Thanks in advance for any unpaid labor you feel like putting in on this project...


I may be able to put something together for you.

Edit: Maybe a Heresy Devil could be adapted for your purpose? When I looked up Harkonnen and saw the illustration on the article, one of those things was the first thing that came to mind - and they happen to be exactly CR 12.

Hmmmm... maybe if a lot of its magic were swapped in for physical capabilities... be a heck of an overhaul, but not quite as troublesome as building a creature from scratch...

But... Corpulence? Yes. A lot of what I want is there, both in terms of looks and the basic ability scores... hav to do something with all the summoning expertise and magical grab-bag, but... it's DEFINITELY a good place to start...


Well, here is a more recent printing of the monster if you think this version would be a better starting point.

Definitely leaves more room to just tweak the size and swap out some spell-like abilities... maybe add a couple of arms for more slam attacks...

Ah-hah... Young template to bring it down to Large, then Dread Lord to bump the CR back up... swap out some abilities to taste, re-flavor a couple of abilities to be slightly more disgusting... I think I’m in business!

Glad to have been able to help.
