View Full Version : [PF] Ancient Lands Bestiary
This thread is for creatures that I've made for my Ancient Lands (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=257661) setting, but since most of them are not particularly setting specific I am putting this here.
There will be lots of animals and magical beasts, mostly in the CR 1 to 6 range, as it's a somewhat E6-ish world. (Flat maximum level for PCs and NPCs is 10th, and those are rare legendary heroes.)
All kinds of comments and suggestions are welcome, and if anyone spots wrong numbers, you are very much invited to point them out for me to correct.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Death Roll (Ex) When grappling a foe of its size or smaller, a crocodile can perform a death roll upon making a successful grapple check. As it clings to its foe, it tucks in its legs and rolls rapidly, twisting and wrenching its victim. The crocodile inflicts its bite damage and knocks the creature prone. If successful, the crocodile maintains its grapple.
Hold Breath (Ex) A crocodile can hold its breath for a number of rounds equal to 4 times its Constitution score before it risks drowning.
Sprint (Ex) Once per minute a crocodile may sprint, increasing its land speed to 40 feet for 1 round.
These crocodiles are growing to massive size and are far more dangerous than the more common kind.

Stampede (Ex) A stampede occurs if three or more creatures with stampede make a trample attack while remaining adjacent to each other. While stampeding, the creatures can trample foes of their size or smaller, and the trample’s save DC increases by +2.
These large reptiles have bodies resembling those of huge bulls and are walking tree trunk like legs. A short neck connects their large heads to their massive shoulders and they also have a pair of large curved horns.
These animals are often kept as beasts of burden, especially to pull heavy loads. However, they are easily angered and difficult to handle.

This big reptile is the size of a large horse or camel, but it's body shape also resembles that of cattle or wilderbeats. Though primarily running on four legs, they can rear up on their hindlegs and are able to climb in rougher terrain than most beasts of burden except for mules. Being herd animals, they are relatively docile and easy to train and keep. They are mostly used to carry loads on their back in difficult terrain like jungles, but can also be ridden. They are the most common beast of burden among the majority of lizardfolk clans, which often have four to six of them in their villages.

Derro are small humanoids that live in the Underworld. They might have once been descended from gnomes, but except for their size the two races don't share any real similarities anymore. Derro have pale white skin with a slight tint of blue or green and white or pale yellow hair that often grows in wild manes. The eyes of derro are completely white and provide them with excelent vision in darkness, but they are easily blinded by bright light and never travel outside to the surface during day or full moon.
Most people who met derro and had a chance to talk with them describe them as somewhat deranged and they are known to have very short tempers and attack at even slight provocations. They fight viciously and often suffer great casualties before they retreat from a battle, but they are not suicidal and won't stay to fight a battle they cannot win.

Undersized Weapons (Ex) Although a drider is Large, its upper torso is the same size as that of a Medium humanoid’s upper torso. As a result, it wields weapons as if it were one size category smaller than its actual size.
Driders are one of the many twisted humanoid races that inhabit the Underworld. Unlike grimlocks or derro, driders still can be clearly identified as being the descandants of dark elves, yet at the same time they have also undergone the most drastic transformation of these races. Driders have the upper bodies of dark elves but everything below their waists resemble giant spiders. Since driders are born and not created, they have no magical abilities by default, but drider oracles and witches are not uncommon among their populations.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Blindsight (Ex) Grimlocks can sense all foes within 40 feet as a sighted creature would. Beyond that range, they treat all targets as having total concealment. Grimlocks are susceptible to sound- and scent-based attacks, however, and are affected normally by loud noises and sonic spells (such as ghost sound or silence) and overpowering odors (such as stinking cloud or incense-heavy air). Negating a grimlock’s sense of smell or hearing reduces this ability to normal Blind-Fight (as the feat). If both these senses are negated, a grimlock is effectively blinded.
Grimlocks are tall and powerfully build humanoids that live deep in the Underworld. They have gray, stone-like skin and thin black hair, but their most distinguishing feature is their complete lack of eyes. Their skulls lack any holes for eyes and feature only a very slight brow. Yet they have extremely accurate senses of hearing and smell and it is often not immediately evident to onlookers that they are completely lacking any sense of sight.
Nobody knows where the grimlocks originally came from, but their great similarity to humanoids from the surface makes it almost certain that they are not belonging to the alien horrors that are native to the Underworld. Grimlocks are not very smart and have an almost feral culture, but anyone who has seen their camp can attest that they are far more than wild beasts.

Harpies are a race of winged humanoids native to the southern forests and hills of the Ancient Lands. They stand somewhat smaller than humans and are of almost delicate build, weighing even less than elves of similar height. The wings of harpies also function as their arms and they have three claws at the central joint of their wings which they can use as fingers. Their legs resemble those of humans at the top, but end in two large claws like those of an eagle. While highly agile creatures, the claws on their wings lack the precision of humanoid fingers and objects made by harpies are often rough and of simple construction. What clothing they have is usually made from animal hides stitched together, but they occasionally use cloth made by other races as well. Most harpies are female with males usually staying in the camps and villages as they are considered too valuable to risk in hunts or battles.
Since they lack separate pairs of arms and wings, harpies can not use their hands while they are flying, and they have to land to throw their spears and javelins. When attacking targets on the ground, harpies prefer to set ambushes in areas of rugged terrain, where they can land in hard to reach places and take to the air again before any enemies can get close enough to attack them.

The shie are an ancient race of humanoids from the spiritworld that once ruled over large parts of the Ancient Lands and were the main enemies of the naga. Shie appear similar to elves standing between six and eight feet tall but in their natural form are clearly beings of the spiritworld. Their specific appearances vary widely, but they often have skin and hair colored in unusual hues and eyes that are either sea green or purple, or even just orbs of perfect black or amber. Most shie show strong affinities towards one element or towards plant or animal life and in most cummunities one affinity is shared by the majority of indivduals, with the others usually being visitors or newcommers to the group. The shie gave up all their strongholds in the material world several thousands of years ago and are now only found in the Spiritworld but they had a major part in teaching many of the skills of civilization to mortals for the first time. Even if they were mostly slaves made to serve the shie in their castles.

Snake warriors were created by the naga thousands of years ago to serve them as elite warriors in their wars against the shie and the wild lizardfolk that inhabited the southern jungles and islands at that time. They have the stature of large and powerful lizardfolk but with the long neck and head of a large snake. Their origin is a mystery to anyone outside the ranks of the most powerful naga sorcerers, but the serpent warriors lack any form of culture of their own and are only found in the service of the naga. Whether that means that the naga enslaved their entire race and hunted any free survivors to extinction, or of they were created by naga sorcery is uncertain. Snake warriors are soldiers without exception. There are no farmers, craftsmen, or scholars among their race. Males and females are identical in appearance and are given the same training and equipment. When their naga masters deem it neccessary to replenish their numbers, individuals with desireable traits are selected for breeding. Once a female has laid the eggs, they are given to naga caretakers who raise the young and will eventually train them as warriors.
(Think of a mix of degenerate serpentfolk and the Jem'Hadar from Star Trek.)

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Distracting Gaze (Su) Staggered for 1d4 rounds, 30 feet, Will DC 16 negates. This is a mind-affecting effect that requires the spriggan to be visible to those it wishes to affect. The save DC is Charisma-based.
Merge with Ward (Su) As a standard action, a spriggan can merge its body and mind with its ward. When merged, the spriggan can observe the surrounding region with its senses as if it were using its own body, as well as via any senses its ward might have. It has no control over its ward, nor can it communicate or otherwise take any action other than to emerge from its ward as a standard action. A spriggan must be adjacent to its ward to merge with or emerge from it.
Ward (Su) A spriggan has a specific ward in form of a tree. If the ward is destroyed while a spriggan is merged with it, the spriggan dies (no save). If a ward is destroyed while a spriggan is not merged with it, it loses its merge with ward ability and its fast healing, and becomes permanently sickened.
A spriggan is a powerful spirit of the forest, appearing as a tall genderless humanoid made entirely from vines, leaves, and branches. It only has a barely visible nose and mouth, and its only prominent facial feature is its pair of glowing green or ember eyes.
Character Races
In my worldbuilding thread I finished the stats for the PC races. I didn't write up stat blocks for 1st level warriors, but the racial trait list are probably easier to read anyway.
The stats can be read here. (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showpost.php?p=15263551&postcount=64) If you want to comment, you can do so in either thread.

Amphibious (Ex) Rakurai have the aquatic subtype, but can survive indefinitely on land.
The rakurai are a race of aquatic creatures that resembles a mix of carp and eel with pairs of arms and legs. Their scaly skin ranges from blue-gray to blue-green and they have orange to dark red frills along their spines and tail. A rakurai typically stands about 160 cm high when walking upright, but their total length inclusing their long necks and tails is considerably longer. The most powerful and dominant warriors often grow to considerably larger size and gain the giant creature template.
The rakurai have always been found near the beaches and coastal waters of warm and temperate coasts and islands, but they are even much more numerous in the deeper parts of the oceans and inhabit flooded parts of the underworld. The rakurai were already around when the naga build their first citadels in the material world, but their culture seems to have made little progress over the millenia, if any. They typically worship poweful monsters of the deep oceans, of which landdwellers have never even heard.

Dragonhawks are large beasts that blend aspects of huge birds of prey and flying dinosaurs. They are faster and more agressive than hippogriffs, but can still be trained to serve as mounts for humanoid riders. Their feathers come in numerous variants of orange, light brown, and black, as well as some more rare cases of pale green or blue. Their heads resemble those of bearded vultures.http://www.biolib.cz/IMG/GAL/142177.jpghttp://fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2010/360/9/7/bearded_vulture_by_sonnystitt-d35qfik.jpghttp://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4dlsy7GdZ1r4t9h1o1_1280.jpg

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Blinding Flash (Ex) A wisp can release a bright flash of light at a creature within 5 feet range. If the target fails a DC 15 Fortitude save, it is dazzled for one round until the start of the wisps next turn. A dazzled creature takes a -1 penalty on attack rolls and sight-based Perception checks.
Natural Invisibility (Ex) Wisps have the ability to extinguish their natural glow as a move action, effectively becoming invisible, as per the spell.
Wisps are tiny gaseous spirits that appear as small balls of glowing light, often with a slight blue, green, or pink hue. They are barely intelligent and require no food or air. Wisps are often found in places of strong magical energies, but frequently serve more powerful spirits like nymphs, spriggans, or treants and scouts and sentinels.

Reavers are large horned humanoids from the spiritworld that resemble a cross between a bull and a lion. They roam the Spiritworld in small packs looking for fights and plunder, and occasionally find their way into the material world as well.

Those taken by the spiders are almost never seen again.
