Juvenile Phase Spider (Written by Daniel Splitter on G+) Fading in and out of the woods like ghostly, too-many-legged wraiths, the phase spiders are neither here nor there in this world. Of course that means that when they eat you, you could end up only half-eaten...

Rats Of Unusual Size (ROUS') (Courtesy of Aaron R, Ash Law, and Graham Poole on G+)Ratlings are like skaven, if you're familiar with Warhammer Fantasy. About 3 foot tall, look like a humanoid rat. They are the result of long ago magical experiments that managed to escape and breed true. Common to sewers, living dungeons, and other underground areas. Vermin, but very cunning and dangerous vermin as they have a super natural ability to control rats. Don't get along with wererats. Often speak broken common. Larger than their swarming brethren, these ratlings haven't made the evolutionary jump to walking on two legs, and instead scurry around on all fours looking for food and whatever else it is they desire. Most folks don't actually believe they exist.

An anomaly created from one of the Archmage's efforts to create an all-seeing ward, the oculi (uh-kyuu-lai, plural form of oculus) are floating mass of eyeballs, with a giant eyeball and a large set of teeth for its central body.  It's known to fire a kaleidoscope of rays that spell death to those affected by them; an awesome sight to behold, thus they have eventually earned the nickname "Beholder".GM NOTE: Because of how this monster is designed, this creature plus its eyestalks is an average fight for four level 6 PCs. (Originally found here.) Dread OculusLevel 7 Large (Double-Strength) Caster (Aberrant)Init: +10HP: 216AC: 21PD: 18MD: 22Levitation: the dread oculus floats a few inches off the ground, and can fly to a nearby location as a move action, falling back to its normal levitation height at the end of its movement.Gaping Maw, one engaged enemy: +12 vs AC, 28 damage. On a natural 20, make one eyestalk attack as a free action.Central Eye: When an enemy targets the dread oculus with a spell, the dread oculus can roll a save; success means the spell has no effect on the oculus. If the level of the spell is lower than the dread oculus' level, it’s a normal save (11+). Against an equal or higher-level spell, the save is a hard save (16+). If the dread oculus is staggered, the save target increases by +5 (normal becomes hard, hard becomes 21+: impossible unless the dread oculus has a save bonus from some other source).Self-Preservation: Once per round as a reaction to an attack while staggered, the dread oculus can redirect the damage it takes to its eyestalks instead.Eye Rays: As a standard action, cause one eyestalk (chosen at random) to attack a nearby enemy.  On a natural even with that eyestalk's attack, make a second eyestalk (chosen at random) attack as a free action.  On a 6+ with the second eyestalk's attack while the dread oculus is staggered, make a third and fourth eyestalk (both chosen at random) attack as a free action.  You cannot use the same stalk for each attack, and if the oculus has less than four eyestalks, all subsequent attacks after the last stalk that hasn't attacked will automatically fail to trigger.Nastier Specials:EyeforCarnage: After the last eyerays attack has been resolved, make a number of eyestalks equal to the escalation die attack as a free action.EyeforanEye: When reduced to 0 HP the dread oculus can cause all remaining eyestalks to become unstuck as a free action.  Once per day the dread oculus can also cause one eyestalk to become unstuck as a standard action while staggered.  The surviving eyestalks all retain the memory of the last creature that the dread oculus faced.GM Note: While this does nothing for the current session, after 1d4+1 sessions (or whenever you feel is appropriate), the eyestalks that survive that long would grow back to full-fledged dread oculi, and would take vengeance on the creatures whose memory they hold on to with utmost hatred.- - - - -Dread Oculus EyestalksTypically oculi have a total of 10 eyestalks, each one having a bit of sentience, although all are under the will of the main eye of the oculus. Each stalk has its own effect and in the face of multiple enemies the eyestalks will collectively try to attack as many as possible.GM Note: Rather than copy-paste the stats of each eyestalk to get 10 eyestalks, each number in the eyerayblast below describes the effect of each eyestalk's attack.  Also, the eyestalks can attack independently of the dread oculus; choose either to have them attack immediately before/after the dread oculus, or roll their initiative separately.Dread Oculus EyestalkLevel 7 Mook Caster (Aberrant)Init: +10HP: 27AC: 19PD: 19MD: 23Attached: Dread oculus eyestalks are stuck to the dread oculus, until unstuck.  Once unstuck, they gain the dread oculus' levitation ability.Eye Ray Blast (close-quarters), one nearby enemy: +12 to hit, target defense and other effects depends on which of the stalks attack.1: Searing: vs. PD, 18 positive energy damage2: Withering: vs. PD, ongoing 18 negative damage and weakened (save ends both)3: Sleep: vs. MD, if the target is staggered, they are unconscious (hard save ends), effect also ends when target takes 10+ damage.  Otherwise they are hampered, weakened and take a -4 penalty to disengage checks (save ends all).4: Telekinesis: vs. PD, target pops free if engaged, and they are forcibly moved to a nearby location5: Hold: vs. PD, target is stuck (save ends)6: Confusion: vs. MD, the target is confused until the end of their next turn7: Fear: vs. MD, 18 psychic damage, and the target is afraid until they move far away from the dread oculus8: Petrify: vs. PD, the target must start making last gasp saves as they turn to stone9: Death: vs. PD, 18 negative energy damage, and the target must start making last gasp saves as they fight for their life10: Disintegrate: vs. PD, 36 damage and 56 ongoing damage.

Dryad This beautiful woman has flesh that seems made of wood and green hair that resembles ivy. 2nd level spoiler [plant] Initiative: +4 Dagger +6 vs. AC—4 damage R: Charm Person: +7 vs. MD (one nearby creature) — The target believes the dryad is their friend.

Large 2nd level blocker [ooze] Initiative: +1 Slam +7 vs. PD —15 acid damage, and the cube engulfs the target (functions like a grab; see below) if it’s smaller than the cube. Engulf and dissolve: Targets engulfed/grabbed (see page 172) by the cube take 15 acid damage at the start of the cube’s turn but the cube cannot this turn make any attacks. Multiple targets can be held within the cube simultaneously. Any engulfed creature that is also staggered must begin making last gasp saves or become paralyzed as the cube’s toxins overwhelm it.

*I know it looks like a lot of text, but most of it is just fluff. Holding a blade cursed by a devil, this swordsman commands great and terrible power. The jagged and misshapen blade this swordsman wields is sharper than any razor. The blade wreaks a horrid miasma that kills plants and sickens those who breathe it in for too long. Normally, the blade is kept in a sealed state where it appears like any other long sword, but, when a dark prayer is uttered, it takes its horrid, true form. Level 5 [Humanoid] Initiative: +2 Demonic Blade +10 vs AC 19 Damage On a natural 16+: The target becomes poisoned for 1d3 rounds and takes 5 ongoing poison damage. Let the Hate Flow Through You: When the intensity of battle runs hot enough to bring the swordsman’s blood to a boil, the demon sword sprouts tendrils from its hilt that dig into the swordsman’s arm. These hellish needles inject the swordsman with demonic essence. The swordsman’s skin turns an unnatural red and tiny bumps form on his forehead as a result of this unholy union of man and demon. When the escalation die is at 4+, the damage of the Demonic Blade increases to 22 and it crits on an 18+. Demonic Possession: While the blade may be from hell itself, it cares for its master. Not in the same way that one would care for a friend. It’s more like how one cares for a customer with deep pockets. If its master begins to knock at deaths door, the blade takes over his body and tries it’s best to protect its host. The behavior of the swordsman becomes animal-like and can be best described as a “berserk rage.” When the swordsman’s HP hits 0, it immediately gains 4d6 Temporary HP. The Swordsman’s MD decreases to 13 while in this state. (Don’t be afraid to mention that its MD is lowered in this state, GM.) AC: 20 PD: 19                                              HP: 72 MD: 15
