A typical otherworld dog stands 4 feet high at the shoulder and weighs 100 pounds. Their coats are a mix of pastel and light-colored hues, ranging from blue to lavender to tan across their coats.

Otherworld dogs do not speak, but they do communicate with each other through a series of howls, barks and whimpers.

Otherworld dogs have never been domesticated, tough some have tried. They have the ability to plane shift a will, complicating the process of trying to keep them in one place for very long.

Combat
Otherworld dogs are efficient hunters. A favorite pack tactic is to surround prey quietly, then attack with all the hounds, tripping prey with their trip attacks. They do not give their prey a chance to escape.

An outerworld dog's natural weapons, as well as any weapons it wields, are treated as chaotically-aligned for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.

Trip Attack(): An otherworld dog has a trip attack resembling that of a wolf.

Skills

Otherworld dogs have a +5 racial bonus on Hide and Move Silently checks.

*They also receive a +8 racial bonus on Survival checks when tracking by scent, due to their keen sense of smell.

Fiendish Orcish Berzerker Horde

One of my Savage Tide players plays a teifling cleric who focuses on conjuring monsters. He asked about developing a creature, or a group of creatures that he can summon using the Summon Monster spells, who would be the same basic creatures at each level but would improve as he used higher level Summon Monster spells. I love coming up with custom stuff like this that makes the story we're all telling richer, so I started working with him to come up with something.

First I wanted to get a ballpark of how tough of a creature you get form SM 1-9. A little surveying and I came up with this chart. It's just an average of some monsters you get for each level of the spell.

SM level HD CR
1 1 1
2 2 2
3 4 3
4 6 4
5 8 5
6 10 5-7
7 12 6-9
8 15 8-10
9 18 11-12

His character is one of the daughters of his previous characters, Doombringer, an Orcish Warblade who died and became a petitioner in Archeron before traveling back to the mortal world to help throw down the Temple of Elemental Evil. That character retired to the outer planes somewhere and became something of a lord. Therefore we decided that his daughter could summon up orcish hordes from the netherworld to aid her. These are the stats for the summoned orcs, one stat block for each Summon Monster spell from 1 to 9.

Orcish Berzerkers in your game: Feel free to borrow these bruisers for your game. If your players ever end up in archeron, or if they're facing any type of orcish warlord these guys make a great army, or even just a crack squad or extra-bloodthirsty orcs in a group of normal orcs.

For your players, they could just as easily be re-cast as berzerkers from valhalla or another heavenly realm, summoned by a good cleric to help in their battles.

Plague Dog

Plague dogs are canines that carry a plague that afflicts humanoids.

These dogs are surprising nimble for as sickly as they look, with tufts of fur stripped, visible scars, and a foamy gleam in their eyes and maws. Though their mouths don't seem to close comfortably, there is no comfort that they will likely close around nearby flesh. Only the most aggressive breeds become proper plague dogs; their temper is only tempered by their desperation.

Plague dogs are canines that carry a plague that afflicts humanoids.

These dogs are surprising nimble for as sickly as they look, with tufts of fur stripped, visible scars, and a foamy gleam in their eyes and maws. Though their mouths don't seem to close comfortably, there is no comfort that they will likely close around nearby flesh. Only the most aggressive breeds become proper plague dogs; their temper is only tempered by their desperation.

Combat

Plague dogs often hunt in packs, surrounding their prey, allowing some of them to take advantage of flanking and delivering their plague through their diseased maws. However, some are loners that roam the dark alleys of cities.

Plague (Su)

Plague dogs carry plaguelets in their saliva, tiny creatures that eat through the flesh of humanoids.

Plague Offal/Dung (Su)

The dung of plague dogs also carries plaguelets. Any creature coming in contact with plague dog dung must make a Fortitude save or contract the plague.

Skills

A plague dog has a +4 racial bonus on Survival checks when tracking by scent.

Onyx / Deep Jungle Dragon

As you may have noticed, dear readers, we're back! After a creatively-draining couple months or rehearsals for my friend's student production of Steve Martin's "Wasp", I am once again free to pour my energy into bringing you drop-in elements for your d20 games. So without further ado, may I present the latest in our series of new True Dragons, the Onyx, or Deep Jungle Dragon!

-Adam

Onxy dragons, sometimes called Deep Jungle Dragons, hatch with glistening black scales flecked with tiny bright green and gray spots. As they mature their low, long bodies become very physically powerful. Their scales develop long thin spines and change to a lusterless matte black with vague splotches of gray and green. This coloration allows them to blend in with their jungle homes superbly.

Reclusive, secretive and unpredictable, Onyx dragons are very territorial. They can be very dangerous to any creatures they feel are invading their shaded jungles. Onyx dragons will stalk new arrivals and passers-through and observe them before deciding whether to let them pass or to eat them.

Type: Dragon (Fire)
Environment: Jungle and Plane of Shadow
Organization: Wyrmling, very young, young, juvenile, and young adult: solitary or clutch (2-5); adult, mature adult, old, very old, ancient, wyrm, or great wyrm: solitary, pair, or family (1-2 and 2-5 offspring)
Challenge Rating: Wyrmling 3; very young 4; young 6; juvenile 8; young adult 11; adult 14; mature adult 16; old 18; very old 19; ancient 21; wyrm 23; great wyrm 25
Treasure: Triple standard
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral with Good tendencies
Advancement: Wyrmling 7-8 HD; very young 10-11 HD; young 13-14 HD; juvenile 16-17 HD; young adult 19-20 HD; adult 22-23 HD; mature adult 25-26 HD; old 28-29 HD; very old 31-32 HD; ancient 34-35 HD; wyrm 37-38 HD; great wyrm 40+ HD
Level Adjustment: Wyrmling +4; very young +4; young +5; others —


Combat
Once they decide to attack, onyx dragons will lay in ambush and attempt to split up, exhaust and frighten off groups of combatants.

Spell-Like Abilities
3/day - blur (very young or older); 3/day—invisibility (juvenile or older); 1/day—shadow conjuration (adult or older), shadow walk (old or older), hallucinatory terrain (ancient or older); greater shadow conjuration (great wyrm).

Breath weapon: a line of burning steam (heat damage, reflex save for half damage) or a steamy cone of fatigue (fort save or become fatigued).

Skills: hide, move silently, and sense motive are considered class skills for onyx dragons. In addition, onyx dragons receive a +8 racial bonus to hide checks when in shadowy or heavily foliaged areas.

Headless

These horrible abominations stalk the dark forests and rocky hills of the world, muscular creatures like men or women but without any type of heads at all. How they can stalk their prey and why they kill is a mystery. Be they demon, undead or some mix of both is not known, but their horrific evil is undoubtable.

Improved Grab (Ex): If a headless hits with both claw attacks it can start a grapple as a free action that does not provoke an attack of opportunity. Once it establishes the grapple it can either attack with it's claws at a -4 penalty or it can roll a grapple check to deal claw damage.

Senseless (Ex): having no heads, these creatures are blind, deaf and dumb. Beyond the reaches of their tremorsense, they are not aware of their surroundings.

Eaglewolf

Eaglewolves have the head and wings of an eagle and the torsos and legs of a wolf.

An eaglewolf's coat ranges in color from brown-black to yellowish brown; its beak is a bright lemony-tan color. A full-grown male can stand as tall as 5 feet and weigh up to 500 pounds, with a wingspan of 12 feet. They are cunning hunters who sail through the sky on their giant wings. They swoop to the ground in almost no time and attack as wolves.

Eaglewolves build aeries high in the mountains, where they live in pairs and raise chicks/pups. Some of their young are born as an eagle or a wolf, and are fed to the others of the litter who retain both eaglewolf traits.

Combat

Eaglewolves attack their prey—any creature bigger than a fox and up to the size of a human—on sight, usually fighting to the death, though they have been known to flee to the skies to escape unexpected danger. They slash with claws and bite with their enormous beaks, trying to grab their prey and rip it apart.

Naahaogo Hunter and Warrior

Presented below are a two examples of the Naahaogo people that players might encounter in their mountainous homes. The first is a experienced hunter, who might just be a provider for his tribe, or might be specialized in stalking the arctic's Ice Kobolds, or fighting off encroaching human settlers. The second is a warrior, such as might defend the tribe in times of trouble.

Presented below is Unicorn Rampant, Claw / Claw / Bite !, and my first new, original True Dragon. I'm quite pleased for a number of reasons. First of all, I feel like I'm really contributing to the cannon of great d20 system material out there. A true dragon, and a chromatic dragon at that, is something that feels like a real creative accomplishment.

In addition, this post marks a new addition to the Claw / Claw / Bite ! crew: Joe Calkins of Cerberus Art. Joe's great illustration below really captures the terror and majesty of a water beast like this nicely. Welcome aboard, Joe!

These cruel river dragons crawl from their wet shells a icy blue color highlighted by tiny white spines in rows along their backs and limbs. Their long sinuous bodies are powerfully muscled making them excellent swimmers but their wings are somewhat small. As they age and spend long periods lying amongst the rocks and mud at the bottoms of progressively deeper rivers their hides take on the coloration of the river they inhabit, be it mossy, muddy, or rocky as they become impregnated with those materials.

Aquamarine dragons live in rivers; from headwaters at young ages to deltas once older. They spend their long lives hiding underwater, controlling currents and capriciously drowning people. They tend to bury their hordes in caches and caves they dig at the bottom of their rivers and into cavernous aquifers.

Occasionally they will encounter another river dragon as they age and move slowly from their mountaintop springs to deeper waters. When these encounters take place they will generally fight for dominance and control of the river. Losers are slain if they cannot escape back upriver. On the occasions when they are of opposite sexes, mating may occur before or after the fight for dominance, and the victor will send the loser upriver to hide the eggs amongst the stones at the springs and headwaters of the river.


Combat

River dragons are rarely found out of their rivers, and use the water as cover from which to make quick strikes and then fade away.


Breath Weapon (Su)

A river dragon's breath weapon is a powerful line of frigid water. The damage dealt is half cold and half bludgeoning. In addition to the damage, creatures must make a strength check opposed by the dragon's breath weapon DC or be affected as by a bull rush: being pushed back 5 ft and and additional foot for every point by which they lost the opposed strength check.


Water Breathing (Ex)

A river dragon can breathe underwater indefinitely and can freely use its breath weapon, spells, and other abilities while submerged.


Create Spring (Su)

A river dragon can create a new spring once per day as a full-round action. The dragon digs down into the earth and spits water from it's mouth as a use of it's breath weapon. This creates a small, permanent spring at that spot, large enough to feed a small stream.


Spell-Like Abilities

At will— water walk; 1/day fog cloud (young or older), 3/day control water (adult or older); 1/day—control weather (great wyrm).


Skills

Bluff, Intimidate, and Survival are considered class skills for aquamarine dragons.

A Wyndm-wolf grows about 6 feet long and stands about 3-1/2 feet at the shoulder. It weighs about 300 pounds. Wyndm-wolves can speak Fey and all three Wyndm tongues.

COMBAT

Wyndm-wolves typically hunt in packs, and tend to eat creatures smaller than themselves. However, with the colonization of the Wyndm-lands, and thus the introduciton of cattle to the lands, they have acquired a taste for beef and pork. A pack usually circles an opponent, each wolf attacking in turn to exhaust it. When solitary, they usually sneak up on their opponents.

Trip (Ex): A Wyndm-wolf that hits with a bite attack can attempt to trip the opponent (+8 check modifier) as a free action without making a touch attack or provoking an attack of opportunity. If the attempt fails, the opponent cannot react to trip the Wyndm-wolf.

Skills: Wyndm-wolves have a +1 racial bonus on Listen, Move Silently, and Spot checks. Wyndm-wolves have a +2 racial bonus on Hide checks. *Their natural coloration grants them a +7 racial bonus on Hide checks in forests and mountains. A Wyndm-wolf has a +4 racial bonus on Survival checks when tracking by scent.

Thousands of yellow cat eyes blink at you malevolently and a paralytic fear grips you. No sound comes from the horde of felines as they pounce upon and completely envelop you.

These creatures are indistinguishable from normal domestic felines. However, they are highly intelligent, well organized, magical beasts. Any mistreatment of the feline race incurs their vengeance. Once they learn of a crime, they gather under the light of the moon in sufficient numbers to dispatch the transgressor without warning. They are chillingly efficient, leaving behind no trace of their victims.

COMBAT

Stunning Aura (Su): Any living creature within 10' of the swarm of Cats of Ulthar must make a DC 15 Will save or be stunned for 1 round. A potentially affected creature that succeeds on its Will save remains immune to the cats’ stunning presence for 24 hours.

Distraction (Ex): Any living creature that begins its turn with a swarm in its square must succeed on a DC 15 Will save or be shaken (-2 to attacks, saves, skill and ability checks) for one round.

Skills: Cats have a +4 racial bonus on Climb, Hide, and Move Silently checks and a +8 racial bonus on Jump checks. Cats of Ulthar also receive a plus one million racial bonus on Jump checks when they leap from rooftops to the dark side of the moon.
