Hello, all.
I am working on a long-spanning adventure arc for my players that has the Seven Deadly Sins as a recurring theme. For reasons that are too lengthy to go into here, I have reclassified them as Nine Deadly Sins, adding Shame and Despair.
I want to find a small handful of monsters and maybe one or two templates connected to each of the Sins. I already have plenty of monsters for the original Seven, plus Despair. What I am lacking is monsters that could be associated with Shame.
Does anyone have any ideas? I have access to all six Bestiaries, but looking through them for ideas is daunting, to say the least.
Thanks in advance for any help!
EDIT: If it helps, I have chosen as the definition for Shame "to believe one is damned absolutely."
Shame as a deadly sin sounds pretty weird. Even with your definition the gap between it and despair seems blurry. But a sacristan kyton is a failure of their kind which other kytons make use of. Druj nasu divs "represent the uncleanness of the body". Mites and nuckelavees are full of self-loathing.

It can be a bit hazy as a distinction, and I confess, the definition i used for Shame could also be applied to Despair. Shame is the sin of "Insufficient Self Love," whereas Despair ( "To allow fear to overshadow love." ) is the sin of Insufficient Love of Others. The way they have been redefined works very well for my purposes.
Be that as it may, I am very grateful for the suggestions! I will probably use most of them, especially the sacristan kyton. Much appreciated!
