Darnit site maintenance ate my post. Basically I came up with an ogrekin flind, with the usual disclaimer.
Lamashkin CR5
Ogrekin Flind Slayer (Bloody Jake) 2 (CR5)
Stats to come
Lamashkin- horrific ogre/gnoll hybrids fanatically loyal to the Mother of Monsters, potentially allies against the cult of Shub-Niggurath if one can get past their murderous insanity. They might be questionable allies of the traditionalist faction or simply wandering marauders taking advantage of the chaos.
With a quick change to their blessing ability and alter their demonic obedience to deific obedience to the black goat and the Lamashkin could also serve as converts to Mozreh's cause and therefore direct enemies. They'd also need a name change.
I've always wanted to use the bloody jake archetype (particularly on ogrekin) but would like to see it on a higher level creature.

Probably swap the bow and the pilum on the flind and gnoll respectively. Can't edit the post now.
Broken moon might consider going all or multi class oracle.
Also, Gnolls might be attracted to undead no matter what they were in life. I'm tempted to stat up a half gnoll daywalker.

I picked cleric a) because trolls have a super low CHA and b) there's at least one important oracle in Ita. That said, you could absolutely make her an oracle (at 5th level she'd only have 2nd level spells which a 12 CHA would cover). Lunar or Apocalypse mysteries are probably most thematic, but they're not very mechanically relevant with exception to fire or acid resist from apocalypse. Powerless prophecy is also very fitting but mechanically painful.
When you say daywalker, do you mean vampire, dhamphir, or something else?
Whenever I say half vampire I always get corrected to daywalker.
It simply means they can walk around in broad daylight, but they have vampire powers at night.

Is there a specific template for that? Or is it homebrew?
Here's the link for an earlier attempt.
Go to Daywalker.
https://paizo.com/threads/rzs2mvfc?What-is-the-best-way-to-create-a-Daywalk er
I mean you could either add the vampire template to a gnoll or flind with 3 non-key levels (or racial hd) for a total of CR4 or CR5 depending on the base creature. Vampire spawn would be 1 CR lower and a lot weaker. Both aren't daywalkers obviously.
You could add the gnoll or flind character traits to a regular dhamphir, but that would basically be homebrew anyway.
I was never a fan of vampires. I always liked the feral, animalistic blood-drinker angle more than the seductive, twilight-esque vamps that fiction is full of nowadays. The template follows the second trope too much for my tastes.
Also the weaknesses are cheesy and weird. Accurate to the legend, but cheesy and weird.
That's fair. You could go nosferatu, but the template interacts weirdly at low levels.
There are vampire-like brute creatures but I'm pretty sure they're too high CR.
Nosferatu fits better for Gnolls.
I was thinking of the Vrykolakas, but at CR10 they're well out of reach of this adventure. They're pretty much the image of a feral, animalistic vampire and bonus points for not being from Western mythology.
That said, none of their abilities are really all that level dependant (but they're all super cool). You could theoretically drop HD and ability scores and have a variant, lesser Vrykolakas at CR6 or 7.
I may actually stat this out for fun.
I could throw in a weakened and variant version of a vyrkolakas as the undead animal companion of the former commander of Grasswall. He's a juju zombie now and will be encountered just before Nukariax's cave.

You could, but you'd have to drop it's CR really hard and probably lose it's cooler abilities. Plus Vrykolakas are supposed to be dead humanoids that weren't given a proper burial, though the fluff is hardly an ironclad rule.
I was thinking of it being a solo encounter in or near Ita, possibly a gnoll leader who was assassinated in Mozreh's rise to power and never give a proper burial?
That way you could make it CR6~
I wasn't aware of the fluff. Stupid real-world monsters ported over to Pathfinder. :C
I would definitely fit as a gnoll. That might not even be a real combat encounter, as it would function more like a revenant than a normal monster, wanting revenge against the cult of Shub-Niggurath.
The fun thing about undead is their thirst for revenge quickly devolves into a thirst for suffering for all living beings. But yeah I really like the idea of at least the PCs having the chance to finding out the Vrykolakas's backstory. But potentially a clever and well informed PC could turn the feral undead against their mutual enemy, at least for a while.
Plus now you have a gnoll vampire :)
I'm not really a fan of always-evil undead, anyways. I don't think that negative energy should be any more evil than positive energy is good.
Sure, but I doubt the gnoll that was assassinated in the first place was a kindly and gentle individual. Even if they're not more evil, they're definitely more feral and savage and revenge obsessed. So I think it works out either way.

I've taken a crack at creating a lesser Vrykolakas (CR6). Add two charmed hyenas or a charmed dire hyena for a CR7 challenge. A pair of ghouls could serve the same function.
Cool story: a vrykolakas can appear as whoever they were before they died, and they're not much less intelligent than the average gnoll. Interesting possibilities here...
As always, I'm just having fun here. Don't feel obligated to use any of this, though your are welcome to use our change it.
This twisted, barely-humanoid monstrosity has rancid-looking flesh, an unnaturally long neck, and a mouth full of fangs.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Create Spawn (Su)
A humanoid slain by a lesser vrykolakas becomes a free-willed ghoul or ghast (depending on HD) with the pestilent aura ability in 1d4 days if not blessed and given proper funerary rites. A slain humanoid with the (gnoll) subtype instead becomes a lesser vrykolakas. A blessing might entail either the spell bless or a more mundane consecration, but at the very least requires a proper prayer (with a successful DC 15 Knowledge [religion] check) invoking a good-aligned deity.
Feral Possession (Su)
Upon being reduced to 0 hit points, a lesser vrykolakas attempts to possess any animal within 100 feet.
This ability is similar to possession and has a duration equal to 1 day for every Hit Die the lesser vrykolakas has (typically 9). The target must succeed at a DC 17 Will save or be possessed. Hyenas, dire hyenas, and hyenadons have a -2 to this saving throw. If the possession fails, the lesser vrykolakas immediately dies. If the possession succeeds, the animal immediately retreats to the vrykolakas’s lair, where it attempts to bury itself in the earth.
If left uninterrupted for 1d4 days, the animal transforms into a new lesser vrykolakas with all the same statistics as the original. If discovered and slain during this time, both the animal and the lesser vrykolakas are destroyed. If discovered and the possession effect is ended via dispel magic or a similar effect, the animal returns to normal and the lesser vrykolakas is destroyed (caster level is equal to the lesser vrykolakas’s CR for the purposes of resolving this dispel magic attempt). The save DC is Charisma-based.
Pestilent Aura (Su)
Creatures within 5 feet of a lesser vrykolakas must succeed at a DC 17 Fortitude save or contract lesser bubonic plague. Any creature that successfully saves against a lesser vrykolakas’s pestilent aura cannot be affected by the aura of that same vrykolakas for 24 hours. The save DC is Charisma-based.
Lesser Bubonic Plague: save Fort DC 16; onset 1 day; frequency 1/day; effect 1d2 Con damage and 1 Cha damage and target is fatigued; cure 2 consecutive saves.
PS: I'm actually rather proud of the job I've done. I think this keeps all the flavor of the original but won't overwhelm a 5tb or 6th level party.
I have a feeling that a lot of the stuff you're designing will show up in the module. Great work.
Actually, I kind of want to keep writing now just so that I can get to Ita eventually. I'm pumped about that section now that I have all these new ideas for it.
So I've noticed there aren't a ton of fey so far. Which is fine, but in case you want options, lurkers in the light are creepy as hell and super challenging to fight. I can also see them falling under the sway of an eldritch power, or being drawn by the carnage to practice their bloody craft.
But in case you want a fun custom fey, I've created a Satyr inquisitor of Shub-Niggurath. You could just as easily convert them to the service of any other deity with a few tweaks. If the PCs are having a hard time you could make them a possible ally.
If They-Watch-Over is in the service of Mozreh, he may send them to track down and ambush the PCs, preferably when they're at their weakest.
The Satyr inquisitor strongly prefers to work alone with only the company of their skittergoat companion named Bramblebuck. However, They-Watch-Over has no concern with endangering their companion; the death of Bramblebuck barely registers as an annoyance as the Satyr knows their patron has many children.

Special Abilities
Pipes (Su) A satyr can focus and empower his magic by playing haunting melodies on his panpipes. When he plays, all creatures within a 60-foot radius must make a DC 17 Will save or be affected by charm person, fear, sleep, or suggestion, depending on what tune the satyr chooses. A creature that successfully saves against any of the pipes’ effects cannot be affected by the same set of pipes for 24 hours, but can still be affected by the satyr’s other spell-like abilities as normal. The satyr’s use of his pipes does not count toward his uses per day of his spell-like abilities, and if separated from them he may continue to use his standard abilities. The pipes themselves are masterwork, and a satyr can craft a replacement with 1 week of labor. The save DC is Charisma-based.

I'm currently statting up the leader of the gnoll Fangs (Pain Taster! Woo!), and the troll cleric Broken Moon. I've made her a cleric 1/evangelist 6 to get some spicy boons and for all the flavor that it comes with.
The Fangs of the Twisted Claw gnolls are an order of elite barbarian warriors. The position of High Fang is coveted and difficult to maintain- one flind named Shikare has held the position for an impressive 7 years now. She serves as the right-hand woman to Oskenja, guarding his longhouse from all intruders and working daily to train the next generation of ferocious gnoll warriors. She has little political power, but as a flind and powerful warrior, she commands great respect and fear from all other gnolls.

TACTICS

Shikare drinks a potion of enlarge person.
During Combat
Shikare moves to a tactical location so that she can make as many attacks of opportunity as possible, and enters her rage. She’ll target the strongest-looking foe each round, alternating between full attacks and trip or disarm attempts with her whip.
Morale
Shikare is no stranger to pain or death. She fights until slain.
Broken Moon is an oddly peaceful troll cleric who arrived in Ita not long before the civil war erupted. She's a neutral party, hoping to watch the civilization tear itself apart or settle back into normality- she doesn't mind much either way, as long as she can observe the process. She spends much of her time preaching to a crowd of surprisingly devout gnolls who she's converted to the worship of Groetus- unknowingly weakening the cult of Shub-Niggurath in the city.

TACTICS
Before Combat
Broken Moon chooses her 5 closest companions as her traveling companions each morning. This allows her to use her touch of madness domain power on them at range- she most likely uses it to enhance attack rolls. She prefers to talk before fighting, using diplomacy for individuals and perform (oratory) to sway crowds. If she feels pressured to fight, she’ll cast bull’s strength, shield of faith, divine power, protection from energy (fire), resist energy (acid), and bear’s endurance.
During Combat
If Broken Moon has buffs not yet cast, she spends the first few rounds of combat setting them up. She then casts aura of doom, hoping to cow her opponents into submission. She fights with offensive spells until forced into melee, upon which she tears into a foe with her bite and claws. If she has allies in the combat, she’ll cast rage to strengthen them.
Morale
Broken Moon is greatly interested in the end of all things- life (including her own), civilization, and otherwise. She’d prefer to be alive to witness it all, though. If reduced below 30 hp, she surrenders and offers to heal damaged foes as payment.
I like my Broken Moon better :P
But I did say feel free to use my ideas as you please. :)
I'm actually surprised she managed to make converts.
To be perfectly honest, I forgot to add the mongrel giant template until I was already done (and I also forgot if you'd statted her out at all), and chose the one that seemed most thematic. I wanted a higher-CR foe to make sure that the party wouldn't just try to gank her in her sleep. Monster permanency is notoriously fragile when it comes to this module, so if I playtest and this Broken Moon is too strong, I'll probably switch to your version.
She's only really getting converts because the gnolls in Ita are so disjointed already, and it's easier to get people to worship a god of the apocalypse if everything around them is already falling apart. She's also serving to turn the gnolls away from evil somewhat through converting them to a less horrible (but still chaotic and destructive, which is attractive to gnolls) deity.
Next up is the Mudeater family, consisting of Lurtoh the ogre, his lovely wife Shaadiqi, and their two ogrekin children Drooler and Qarn. Oh, and Qarn's pet hyena. They'll be encountered in their cliffside home on the path to Ita, and fight together as a CR 8 encounter!

Next up (I'll likely post it later today or maybe tomorrow) are lots of monsters that'll be found in Ita and Grasswall. As a taste of what to expect, you'll be getting stats for Oskenja, Mother's Fang, Utobi's mount Xheltu, the Gorecrows (a happy family of werehyenas), and Godah the resistance leader.
Oh, and also an awakened dire hyena with levels in Student of War. Monster building is TOO MUCH FUN!
So... I disappeared for a bit. Is this still going?
Hrm. Dot.
