The third in a series of new monsters to
populate his dungeons and wilderness. Each installment of the
Monstrous Menaces series presents three new monsters.
The third installment presents the
Castle Keeper with a 4 HD Aberration, a 5 HD Ooze, and a 7 to 9
HD Monstrous Humanoid. Each entry includes complete listings for
the monster's description, organization, ecology, treasure, range, and
special abilities.
Akhlat
An akhlat is a chimerical creature, possessing the head of a man, the
feathered body and wings of a vulture, the legs and feet of a monkey,
the arms and claws of a tiger, and the tail of an ass. The human
head is overly large for the body, and bald; its eyes are black and
beady like those of a vulture, its nose is large and long and blackened
with warts, and its mouth is filled with tiger-like teeth and the forked
tongue of a serpent. Its flesh is as hard as bronze, its teeth and
claws like steel, and its breath is noxious like swamp-gas.
Oogloog
Oogloog are giant alien amoeba-like beings with a cruel, inhuman
intellect. On a humanoid scale, their Intelligence would be placed
in the High to Genius categories; however, their form of sentience is
significantly different from that of other organisms.
Oogloog naturally take the form of a giant amoeba-like structure,
essentially a bag of slimy acid filled with small globules of foreign
materials (i.e. food). They have great control over their shape,
however, and can take on the form of a bipedal humanoid, complete with
head, two arms, hands, fingers, two legs, feet, and toes. Some
possess a most cruel sense of humor, and enjoy preserving various body
parts of victims, such as eyes and teeth, and using those to affect
possession of such body parts (though having "eyes" and "teeth" in this
way provides them no extra abilities to see or bite).
Woodwose
Also known as almas, bigfoot, sasquatch, wild men, yeren, or yeti,
woodwoses are seven to nine foot tall humanoids covered with thick
brown, brownish-red, black, or white fur. The hair covers it
everywhere except on the palms of its hands and feet, which are thick
and calloused. They look mostly human, with an apish cast to face
and build, and with very apish teeth but very human eyes.
Woodwoses never wear clothing or jewelry.
Some exhibit elvish blood or human blood, others orcish, ogre, or even
hill giant blood, or even a mix of two or three other blood lines;
woodwoses are able to breed with all five races, though one in eight of
such crossbreeds are sterile, and one in eight of those with other blood
go insane upon reaching puberty.
