Advanced Expanded Bestiary

[Traskus]

The rules of the simple expanded bestiary are useful, but limiting. This thread lets you do whatever the frig it is you want with your monster. You want a monster that incorporates six different exalt powers and four different racial abliities? This is the place. You want a soldier that has a veritable armory of homebrew weapons and armor at his disposal? Look no further.

Let's kick this monster mash off:

Akata
Akatas are parasitic pack hunters that hail from a long-forgotten crystal sphere. Their capacity to rapidly procreate (given the presence of a suitable host species) combined with their ability to survive long periods hibernation within the Astral Sea have allowed this species to spread far and wide. Customs inspection for Akata hibernation pods or infected carriers have become common at many of the Wheel’s trading ports, to curb the spread of this deadly parasite.

Speed:                      12
Size|Resilience:        3|3
Stat|Ment Defense:  28|15
HP:                           8

Feats: Catfall, Defensive Mobility, Fast Reflexes
Armor: none, 20 (All) when hibernating.
Attacks: Verminous Bite (4k2 R, Melee, Brawling, Infest, Tearing)
Abilities:

• Spawn Zombie Host: A humanoid killed by an Akata’s Bite attack is implanted with an Akata larva, which raises the host body as a Void Zombie within 1 day of death. Within a week, the Void Zombie will burst, and release the adult Akata
  
• Hibernation: An Akata can wrap itself in a protective cocoon for indefinite periods of time. This process takes approximately 10 minutes to complete, and renders the Akata unconscious and immune to all environmental hazards. Akatas wake from hibernation (tearing themselves free as a Major action) if their cocoon is damaged or disturbed by a warm body in any way. Akatas have effective Armor 20 to all locations within their cocoon.

Traits: Quadrupedal

Level: 1




Void Zombie

A humanoid corpse animated by and pregnant with a carried Akata larva. The barbed “tongue” of a Void Zombie is in fact an extension of this larva, and is used to defend the host until the larva can mature. Unlike traditional necromantic zombies, Void Zombies are rather agile and can prove quite ferocious if the larva within is threatened.

Tarrasque

At least one tarrasque exists in every crystal sphere. Tarrasques were sent via portal to every crystal sphere during the Great Crusade to soften up defenses on inhabited worlds before the dragons attacked in force. Most worlds immediately folded to their incredible might, but others fought back. After the Tiamat Heresy started, the tarrasques went into hibernation until the day they are awakened again.

Every crystal sphere has a legend of a tarrasque. Some claim they are the manifestation of divine wrath and therefore unstoppable. Some believe they form mountain ranges in their world. Theah even has a legend of a maiden taming a tarrasque with compassion and a sermon, though she probably just beat it up.

Bestial, colossal, from beyond, legendary actions (3), legendary resistance


Abilities:
Frightful Presence - Whenever this creature charges or makes an all out attack, all creatures within melee range of it must test against its fear rating.
Earthbinding Aura - This creature projects a 1km aura of "fuck you, flying." Anything within 1km has a flight speed of 1 and a maximum altitude of 6m, well within this creature's melee range.
Immunity - This creature is immune to the fire condition, the toxic and shocking effects, mind-affecting spells, and damage that is not magical in nature. If this creature were to die, it returns to life with all severed limbs regrown and critical damage healed in 1d10 minutes.

Reflective Carapace - This creature is immune to damage directly dealt by spells. When hit by such a spell, roll a d10. On a 9+, the spell is reflected back at its source with its full effectiveness. Otherwise, the spell bounces harmlessly off the creature's hide.
Sharpness Bite - If this creature's bite attack deals at least 1 hp of damage, the target takes 1 critical damage even if they had hp remaining.
Siege Monster - This creature treats the resilience of buildings and vehicles as half when damaging them.

Lair Actions and Regional Effects
The tarrasque doesn't make a lair so much as it's put in one by a higher power. They sleep in remote and secret caves: underground, in mountains, or under the seabed. Legends say its awakening heralds the end of the world.

SPOILER: Click to show

Each lair action must be used in order, and when all four have been used the lair is destroyed. The story master should telegraph that the lair is unstable and about to implode at the beginning of combat.
Antimagic field: the tarrasque's carapace coalesces energy into itself. Like some spiky black hole, but for magic. Spells cannot be cast within 150m of the tarrasque until the next lair action.
Earthquake: the ground shakes for 2km around the lair, and everyone inside (except the tarrasque) needs to pass a tn 15 acrobatics test or be knocked prone.

Cave-in: the ceiling caves in, debris wreaking havoc. Everyone in the lair must pass a tn 15 dexterity test or take 3d10 damage and be knocked prone.
Collapse: the tarrasque tears its way out of the lair, destroying what's left of it. Everyone in the lair (except the tarrasque) must make a tn 20 athletics test. Those that fail take 5d10 pen 5 damage and are immobilized and restrained until they pass to get out as a full action. The tarrasque is immune and burrows to the surface at the beginning of the next turn.

Regional Effects
The tarrasque's regional effects end either when the lair is destroyed or the tarrasque dies. Whichever comes first.
Antimagic field: Spellcasters feel more taxed when casting spells, requiring an extra two raises to successfully cast.
Gravitational field: The tarrasque's earthbinding aura extends to a 10km radius.
Tremors: small earthquakes can be felt within a 10km radius.

Mala Mala Jong

Mala Mala Jong is an entity made of artifacts. It seeks nothing more than to incorporate all artifacts into itself for reasons unknown.

Third arm slash (4k2 r pen 3; melee, brawling, adamantine melee)
Golden tiger claws (5k2+3 r; melee, brawling, the owner may create a gate as the spell, automatically passing the focus power test)

Abilities: Heart of Jong - this creature qualifies as the rightful owner of any artifact it wields (so long as it is not granted by powers such as exaltation), taking on the narrative protections of artifacts for itself away from its previous owner until the owner defeats Mala Mala Jong in a challenge or if Jong dies/is disassembled. Mala Mala Jong gains the effects of any hearthstone he possesses without needing hearthstone slots.

Dragon's greed - this creature seeks to gather all magical items into itself, and doing so only makes him stronger. Each time Mala Mala Jong gains a new artifact, he gains 1 skill dot. For every 3 artifacts, he gains a characteristic dot.

Living construct, transhuman potential - as the promethean powers
Living treasure, residual charging, soul eater - as the relic powers

Gear: various artifacts

Zombie Dragon

SPOILER: Click to show

This creature is the husk left over after an even more powerful, ancient being was forcibly split apart. It's violent, merciless, unreasonable, and has eaten so many people that a village near its resting place built a wall to keep it out. That doesn't make it evil. It just wants to be whole again.

Darkness Dragon

SPOILER: Click to show

The zombie dragon has started to become whole again, through the power of gene-splicing technology and forcibly uniting with the red eyes black dragon. This monster is alive again, with the powers of both its parts. It has the powers of ice and lightning, forces of nature that can lead to ruin.



How to make: The red eyes black dragon and the zombie dragon must both be exposed to fusion effects. Polymerization, the fusion dance to Gestalt, or some sort of technological marvel like a dna splicer or potara earrings. The zombie dragon will always comply with this, and the red eyes black dragon will be unable to physically resist. The hard part is putting them in the same place without them fighting.

Freeze Shock: This creature may spend an Ichor to give its attacks the Snare and Shocking properties for its next attack. This creature is immune to snare and shocking properties.
Teravolt: If a target of this monster's attacks has an ability that allows it to elude damage (phasing or levitation, for example), it is affected anyway.

Shining Dragon

SPOILER: Click to show

The zombie dragon has reunited with one of its other parts through the miracles of modern genetic technology. The blue eyes white dragon is still conscious and suffering inside, and the zombie dragon laments this. It has the powers of fire and ice, the end of the world itself.

Kyurem

SPOILER: Click to show

The zombie dragon was once this divine beast. It is happy in this form, master of truth, ideals, and emptiness. He is currently at war with the modrontyr figure known as Sovereign, and his absence has led Sovereign to declaring himself victor.



How to make: The Stardust Dragon is created by splicing the zombie dragon, red eyes black dragon, and blue eyes white dragon together on the genetic level. This can include previous fusions. The hard part is getting them to not fight.

Vasavi Shakti: See text

Abilities:
Celestial Body: As the Luminary power.

Sunlight Dependency: As the Luminary power.

Grossly Incandescent: As the Luminary power.

Shooting Star: As the Luminary power.

Discernment of the Poor: Karna's upbringing made him capable of seeing someone's true nature. He can see through all Disguise attempts and all Deceive rolls automatically fail against him.

Mana Burst (Flame): Karna can use Willpower instead of Charisma when casting spells, and he can spend 1 Heat to ignore the Focus and Material keywords. His physical attacks have the Incendiary property while he has Heat remaining. Whenever he would cause Psychic Phenomena from casting spells, he instead deals Xk5 E damage to everything within a 10m radius, where X is one-tenth of the roll on the Psychic Phenomena table (round up).

Brahmastra (Ocular): Equipment is inadequate, a true hero kills with a stare! Karna can spend 1 Heat as a Half Action to fire a beam from his eye using the weapon profile of an MP Lascannon.

Kavacha and Kundala: Karna's golden armor and earrings divide the result of all damage rolls against him by 10, round down, before armor/aura applies. It also halves the TN to resist any of the attack's effects like a spell's saving throw or a weapon's special quality.

Vasavi Shakti: As a Full Action Karna can disassemble Kavacha and Kundala, permanently losing its protection in exchange for manifesting the divine spear. It is treated as an Orichalcum Lance that replaces the Two Hands property with Incendiary. Its real power lies in being able to kill gods and destroy anything in one hit, or so the legend says. He can invoke the divine spear's true name and sacrifice it as a Full Action to unleash a devastating beam of world-melting heat. This beam is treated as a surface bombardment with a lance weapon except it doesn't affect Karna and the damage of the blast wave is 10k10 with Incendiary. Karna then gains three levels of Fatigue, loses all of his remaining Heat and he can't recover more than 1 Heat per day. Kavacha and Kundala reforms once all of Karna's Heat is regained this way.

Anaxim

SPOILER: Click to show

Anaxim are ancient, detestable monstrosities, the twisted results of daemons attempting to possess the Modrontyr and their creations. When the infinite attempts to claim the insatiable, it is the latter that wins out, and a malefic will is born, which forms the animus of a new anti-existence. It is said, thankfully, that there are not terribly many of these creatures in existence... rather, when one's shell is destroyed, the anti-existence fueling it simply creates a new one, piece by piece.

Baernoloth

SPOILER: Click to show

The confluence of daemonic possession, daemonic bloodline, and Tieflings begets an abominable brand of reincarnated daemon known as a baernoloth. These fiends are more bloody-minded than most Tieflings and have far less self-restraint; they are daemonic power straining at too-weak flesh. Baernoloths often become the objects of cult worship, and it's said that at least one whispers foul edicts into Lord Dispater's ears.

Some greybeards insist that phanes are the result of dalliances with the Raven Queen or the Lady of Pain... or rather, they "insisted," as all of them tend to disappear rather mysteriously after mentioning the theory.

[ScrapyardDragon]

There is an ancient human legend. One that claims man may seal away gods. Splitting their body into 16 segments in a land of intersecting points, each piece kept imprisoned by a great colossus born of stone and earth. The means to do so have been long forgotten, but there are still those fools who seek out these sealed gods, seeking to release them in exchange for a miracle. Releasing the such a dead god would require the herculean task of slaying all 16 monsters, wherever they may be hiding.

Note: The damage of the listed attacks is the damage of the just the weapon. That is to say, before Feats/STR bonuses are applied.

A great beast wielding a massive stone club. While it may be the weakest of the bipedal colossi, it is still a threat to any fool who confronts it unprepared. It normally wanders about aimlessly until confronted, at which point it will mercilessly attempt to crush whatever arrogant ant has approached it. Without a means to find and harm it's vitals, to fight it is an exercise in futility. While capable of going where it pleases, The Minotaur will usually stay within rocky highlands.

What happens to whoever got possessed?: It depends, and is ultimately up to SM interpretation. If they were a mortal you could make them one of the Exalted; Potentially a Chosen of the reborn god if it returned properly, or a Daemonhost if things went wrong at the end. If they were already Exalted, they might come out fine afterwards, end up with a hindrance afterwards, or just get saddled with some corruption & insanity. Do what you think fits.

Beholder

SPOILER: Click to show

Of all the vile creatures to pour out of Pandemonium, the most fearsome were arguably the Beholders. Beholders are large floating orbs of flesh with a singular large eye, a mouth, and ten eye-stalks protruding from its body. They have innate magical powers stored within each of their eyes, each rivaling the powers of mighty wizards. Their power is complimented by their vast intelligence and 18 maligned senses, often able to think multiple steps ahead of the competition. During the opening battles of the Aboleth invasion of The Wheel Beholders were a common sight, wreaking death and destruction wherever they went. Luckily for The Wheel their numbers started to dwindle early on, and by the time the Aasimar and Teiflings came to repel the invasion they were nowhere to be seen. As it turns out, their brilliant minds are only hindered by their intense xenophobia. Though initially they were willing to work with the forces of Pandemonium, they grew paranoid that their abyssal peers would betray them, and went off on their own. Their xenophobia quickly turned inwards and they turned on each other starting a massive war in the crystal sphere now only known as the Tomb of the Beholderkin, a war that continues to this day. Beholders were an enigma to The Wheel, so dangerous that no one wanted to try to drive them out and so benign that no one really needed to. As a result they were simply let be, and over time some abandoned their pointless war for genetic purity and joined galactic society. Though few in numbers they can be found in many corners of the wheel, especially in places of deceit and treachery. Many have flocked to Commorragh, where the typically foreboding depths of the Underdark are considered downright cozy and their knack for slavery is celebrated rather than reviled.

Attacks: Bite (4k2 R, Melee, Brawling)

Eye Stalks (Special)

Abilities: Ball With Eyes- When you're aiming at a giant floating head, you probably don't have to worry about hitting him in the leg. Any time a Beholder is hit on any location other than the Gizzards, they are instead hit in the Head. If critical damage is dealt to the gizzards, roll on the eye ray chart. The Beholder loses use of that ray. Individual rays can be targeted as a called shot at an additional -2k0.

Antimagic Eye- The central eye of the Beholder emits a 30 meter antimagic cone. Any spells cast within this cone automatically fail, and any spell effects taking place within the cone are nullified. The Beholder's own rays are affected by this field, and they may turn the effect off by shutting their eye.

Eye Rays- The Beholder has 10 eye stalks protruding from its body, each charged with magical power. As a half action the Beholder may make 3 attacks, distributed among all available targets as they see fit. Then, roll a d10 for each successful attack and consult the following chart, re-rolling doubles:

Eye Stalks

SPOILER: Click to show

1. Charm Ray- If he targeted creature fails a TN 20 Willpower + Arcana test, they become unwilling to take actions that would harm the Beholder for 1 hour, or until the Beholder harms the creature.

2. Paralyzing Ray- The targeted creature must succeed a TN 20 Constitution + Arcana test or be Stunned for 1 minute. The target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.

3. Fear Ray- The targeted creature must make a roll against Fear 1.

4. Slowing Ray- The targeted creature must succeed on a TN 20 Dexterity + Arcana saving throw. On a failed save, the target’s speed is halved for 1 minute. The creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.

5. Enervation Ray- The targeted creature takes 4k4 R damage.

6. Telekinetic Ray- If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a TN 20 Strength + Arcana test or the Beholder moves it up to 5m. in any direction. It is restrained by the ray’s telekinetic grip until the start of the Beholder’s next turn or until the Beholder is incapacitated.

7. Sleep Ray- The targeted creature must succeed on a TN 20 Willpower + Arcana test or fall asleep and remain unconscious for 1 minute. The target awakens if it takes damage or another creature takes an action to wake it. This ray has no effect on targets that don’t normally need to sleep.

8. Petrification Ray- The targeted creature must make a TN 20 Dexterity + Arcana test. On a failed save, the creature begins to turn to stone and is restrained. It must repeat the test at the end of its next turn. On a success, the effect ends. On a failure, the creature is petrified unless they burn a hero point or are restored through other magical means.

9. Disintegration Ray- If the target is a creature, it takes 6K4 I damage. If this damage would kill the creature, its body becomes a pile of fine gray dust.

10. Death Ray- The targeted creature takes 6k6 E damage. The target dies if the ray reduces it to 0 hit points.
