4E Monster Competition II - EEEEEKKK!!!

http://img709.imageshack.us/img709/8606/newcomimgii.png

In the dead of night cackling hags stir their bubbling cauldrons in their bleak caves, soul-eating wraiths stalk city slums and abandoned streets searching for fresh life-energy, ancient trolls lie in wait in hiding for unlucky travelers to feast on, and demented cultists sacrifice innocents for their unholy gods. Brave heroes fight back shadowy horrors but in the end darkness always swallows the light and the candle always goes out.

What horrors lurk in your mind?

MY ENTRY
Tommy Rawhead & Boody Bones Converted from Celtic mythology (Wiki Page) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloody_Bones)
Tommy Rawhead & Boody Bones was once a mortal Oni before he ventured into the Shadowfell. He lived there for centuries feeding on dark energy and growing more malevolent and powerful. After 1000 years he found his way back to the mortal world where he now stalks city slums, bleak forests, and abandoned roads searching for living prey. He feeds on his victim's fear and soul and values tormenting and killing his prey above the actual nourishment it provides.
His arms and claws are so long, he can reach into the furthest hiding places. His fingers can reach up drainpipes and down heating vents. But the funniest thing about him, even though he's a great big bugger, he can fit himself into the smallest of places.

"He's a sloppy eater, Tommy. Think he likes his meals to struggle and scream. No one's ever escaped ol' Rawhead and Bloody Bones. Not once he's made up his mind to have them."
--Butterworm, from Courtney Crumrin comics.

Razor Eddie
The smell hits you first, a bad smell, of someone who lay down in garbage and dead things.then if your lucky you see a painfully thin presence wrapped in an over sized gray coat held together with accumulated filth and grease, fly's always buzz around him watch them close if one gets too close he kills it. This is Razor Eddie. He is someone you ever want to run into. His speed is fast, faster then the eye can see sometimes when he moves you can't tell if he teleported or just moved. Few that meet him are lucky to still live. Usually only those that he considered friends or friends for the moment live. One second he is there and the next he is gone. Not many could keep up with the power he has gained. If you live consider yourself lucky and change your ways he won't give you a second chance. After all he is considered a god.

DC:15 Razor Eddie is originally from the nightside, where it's always night, always dark, always three O' clock in the morning

Me!? A bloodthirsty killer!? All this talk of blood and murder has put me off my tea...
~A Cheshire Cat.

Deep within the deepest woods, the Cheshire Cats stalk the night. Thought to be the ghosts of tormented house cats, they drift into cities and creep into childrens' bedrooms, eating the children alive while their parents bicker in another room. When the parents come to check on their child, all that is left is a blood spatter and a slowly receding toothy grin, blood dripping from its vicious canines. They and their lairs are avoided at all costs by all manner of travelers, even most adventurers, for their child-eating reputation as well as their other reputation, for petty theft and philosophical banter.

In truth, only one of the Cheshire Cat's reputations is deserved - rather than eat children, it saves them from abusive or divided homes, and tends to them in the woods. When they are old enough, the Cheshire Cat releases them from the woods with a new name. However, the Cheshire Cat is still as creepy and eerie a fey as one will ever meet, truly understood only by its clutch of orphans and raving madmen. Its wide grins, backwards way of speaking, and fascination with elaborate hats makes it a trying creature to speak to.

In combat, a Cheshire Cat toys with its foes, turning their words on their heads and stealing their things. It especially enjoys dissolving in the face of a power attack, smiling with sheer glee at its opponent's frustration. If its clutch of orphans is present in an encounter, the Cheshire Cat will do everything in its power to draw attention and let them escape, using his Cheshire Grin to unsettle his foes while the children run away as fast as they can, free of opportunity attacks and with slowed pursuers. Until it is sure the kids are safe, the Cheshire Cat with continue to steal, dissolve, evaporate and vanish, raising the ire of its foes and distracting them. Though with all its invisibility, negation and reduction abilities in place it is a tough foe to slay, it does not itself aim to slay its foes but rather annoy, irritate and inconvenience them. If it is bloodied and has no use of Dissolution available when it starts its turn, it will probably flee.

Lore and encounter groups later, gotta take care of some other things.
