  • Dagoth (Lizard demon) Solitary, Large, Planar
    Talons (d12+4 damage) 16 HP 1 armor
    Forceful
    Special Qualities: Reverts to statue if horn removed, Only damaged by magic or magical weapons, immune from harm as a statute or horn

    Dagoth, also referred to as the Dreaming God, was a demon worshipped by the people of Shadizar, particularly Queen Taramis. He participated in a large battle with other evil beings, during which his source of power, a jeweled horn, was broken off. Dagoth fell to Earth in a weakened state and his body turned into stone, becoming a statue. As written in the ancient Scrolls of Skelos, if the horn were found placed in the forehead of the statue, it would bring about the evil god's resurrection, and as long as a virgin girl was sacrificed at the hour of the god's rebirth (in this case, Taramis' niece Jehnna), everything would be fine. Legend holds that Dagoth will grant any wish his restorer desires, but great care should be used in the exact words used for the wish. Unfortunately, the ritual was interrupted by Conan and his companions and Taramis' vizier speared by Zula before he could sacrifice Jehnna, and the end result of this is that Dagoth became angered and transformed into a monstrous, lizard-like beast. The wizard Akiro deduced that Dagoth's horn was his life, and in tearing the horn from the ex-god's forehead, returned Dagoth to his statute form. Later both horn and statue vanished from Shalizar in different eras. Scholars speculate that Dagoth may be related to the ancient evil Zargon in some fashion. Instinct: Destroy

    Close
    Special Qualities: Human transformed by Dagonite Priest, Slave Capturing Nets, Cannabalistic, Aquatic

    A worshipper of Dagon (Cthulhu) transformed by a Dagonite Priest in a foul ritual into a sterile servitor slave race of frog-fish men. Dagonites will go insane if their controlling creator Dagonite Priest is killed. Some (50%) will then attack everything in sight in a berserker rage (+1 to all attacks) including each other while others (50%) mindlessly flee. If any survive long enough they will return to human form now loathing the Cult and its entire works. Recovered humans can never be transformed again but retain their gills and ability to breathe water. A distant, lesser cousin to true Deep Ones or the Underdark's Kuo-Toas; Dagonites are used as cannon fodder in the Cult of Dagon's War against the Amazons and the Cult's pirate raids and slavery operations.

  • Justicar Cultist Horde, Organized, Intelligent, Fanatical
    Firearms (d6 damage) 3 HP 1 armor
    Close, Reach, Near
    Special Qualities: Resolute, Suicidal

    The Justicars are a group of fanatical zealots inhabiting an island chain near Yanthar. Easily identified by their painted faces and painted slapdash armor, the Justicars are one of the most predominant 'gangs' in this region of Lythera. Relaying entirely on numbers to win engagements, they have attempted to attack Yanthar several times in the past, but the tactical maneuvering of Dynara and the crucial role played by the BVR squad remnants during these encounters have seen the nearly tribe-like repelled time and time again. Currently a tenuous cease-fire is in place, allowing the Justicars to visit the colonies on Yanthar but under a strict curfew of when they most depart. The 'cultist' is the name given by the Yantharians to the rank and file grunt in the Justicars. Armed with shoddy weaponry and armor that barely qualifies as such, they're usually nothing more than cannon fodder used to absorb enemy fire and make way for the more specialized units. Instinct: Territorial Control

  • Giant Amoeba Solitary, Large, Amorphous
    Acidic Grab (d10 damage) 12 HP 0 armor

    A giant amoeba is a shapeless mass of living, liquid protoplasm. Though naturally translucent with darker interior spots, its surface is slightly sticky and tends to collect dirt and other debris from its environment; therefore, a moving giant amoeba looks like muddy water. A weaker cousin of creatures such as the gray ooze and black pudding the giant amoeba is the result of an alchemist's experiment gone horribly wrong. Instinct: Dissolve flesh

  • Wereshark Solitary
    Bite (b[2d10+2] damage) 16 HP 0 armor
    Close
    Special Qualities: Vulnerable to Silver

    The wereshark is an avaricious hybrid of man and shark. These huge predators destroy large caches of fish (and fishermen) and have been known to attack nearly any form of aquatic life, including the intelligent races such as tritons, sea elves, and mermen. The wereshark is a huge, muscular brute when in human form, and it takes the form of a great white shark when transformed. Cruel and arrogant in its human form, a wereshark is even more vicious in its shark form. Custom Move: (When a lycanthrope bites you, ROLL+WIS. On a 10+, you repel the curse. On a 7-9, you go into a bloodthirsty rage for murder until you sleep/fall unconscious. On a 6-, the next full moon will see you join the lycanthrope family.) Instinct: Consume

    • Bully
    • Serve Cthulhu
    • Devour
