A thin childlike creature with a gaping maw
with sharp teeth. They are grotesque with heads too large for their body’s
and a covering of sparse and patchy hair. Their eyes glow with an infernal
light. The Drekavac is only found out at night or in dark places. Its most
notable attribute is its scream. Any creature within 60’ of the Drekavac when
it screams must make a save vs. spells or run away in fear for 1d10 rounds.
The Drekavac is an evil undead that rises from the graves of children who
were not dedicated to a deity after birth. Even if physically slain a
Drekavac will rise again the following night and will continue to do so until
a bless spell is cast upon its mortal remains. They can be turned as wights.

A clever dangerous creature. Nokkens are
shapeshifters and will commonly take the form of a handsome man playing the
harp, a beautiful white horse, a wooden boat, a log, etc. The objective of
all these forms is to lure people into the water and drown them where it will
feed on their corpses. The Nokken are able to cast Charm Person once per day.
They then have their charmed victims come to them in the deepest part of the
pond or lake that they inhabit. The true form of the Nokken is particularly
horrifying. They have a head of thick tangled hair. Their skin appears as
that of a drowned corpse covered in aquatic grasses and weeds. Their maw is
filled with razor sharp teeth. Their eyes also glow with a ghostly light.
When they are in horse form they are sometimes called Backahastens.

Huldra appear as beautiful women but with a
cowtail that they go to great lengths to hide from view when interacting with
mortals. The back of a Huldra resembles a hollowed-out tree trunk. Huldras
are seductresses and go to great lengths to seduce and/or charm their human
victims. Huldra will take their victim deep into the woods where they will
either keep their charmed victim as a slave/pet or feed upon them. Three
times per day the Huldra may cast the equivalent to a Charm Person/Monster
spell.

This undead appears as a blackened, swollen,
corpse. They exude a horrible stench of decay. This smell is so bad that
anyone within 20’ failing a save vs. paralysis will be overcome by the smell
and fight with a -2 to hit, damage, and save from the wrenching and choking
on one’s own bile. They retain some semblance of intelligence and are not
mindless. They have the usual immunities of the undead.
Just viewing one can have a terrible effect on
the viewer. Anyone viewing a draugen/draugr must make a save vs. Spells or be
driven mad by what they see. What effect the madness has is determined by
rolling on the following chart-
These effects last for 2d6 turns
They usually have three reasons for their
existence. One is to guard what they consider their treasure; they are fueled
by the avarice that they had in life. Another is to wreak havoc on the living
regardless of who they are, this fueled by their fear of death. Finally, they
are there to exact revenge on those who wronged them in life.
The attacks of the draugen/draugr are to expand
their size and crush their opponents, the draugen/draugr expands to fill a
10’x10’ area and anyone in that area with it suffers 3-18 points of damage on
the first round and 1d6 damage per round thereafter. They will also bite and
consume the living. When expanded, they are also able to swallow victims’,
not being crushed, whole which inflicts bite damage on the first round and
1d6 damage per round thereafter, those who have been swallowed can attack
from the inside but only with a weapon the size of a scramseax or smaller. .

These are the ghosts of Gluttons. They are
attracted to food and dropped food will stop their pursuit of opponents.
Their only attack is to pass through their victim who then experiences
unbelievable hunger pains. This causes them to have to Save vs. Spells or be
treated if they are under the effects of a Slow spell. The hunger pains also
cause the victim to attack at -2 and anything needing concentration or
precision is not possible. The victim also cannot cast spells during this
effect. No amount of eating will alleviate the hunger. This effect lasts for
1d10 rounds. Gobblers are turned as wights. Being incorporeal they can only
be affected by magic and holy items.

These are Zombies that have been dried out until
their skin is tough and leathery. All weapons do 1/2 damage against them.
They are however very susceptible to fire (all fire damage is doubled).
Otherwise they are treated as the same as zombies.

These fungal creatures are roughly
humanoid in appearance (having once been human). They are alien in their
intelligence and are often under the control of Fungal Artillery. Their limbs
are gnarled and twisted, and their hands have become claw like making two
attacks per round. They are not affected by sleep, charm, or illusions.

These are creatures who have been
transformed by a Fungal Mother who were larger than man size in their former
lives (Ogres, Gnolls, Trolls, etc.). They are twisted fungus covered parodies
of their former selves.

This is a 10’ tall mushroom with tendrils
sprouting from its trunk and its base. The ones at the base serve to move the
creature while the ones along the trunk serve as appendages. The Fungal
Mother can release spore clouds just like the Fungal Artillery but at twice
the area of effect, damage, and duration. The tendril attacks of the Fungal
Mother also carry the infectious fungus to transform the victim into a Fungal
Scratcher (or Fungal Giant if appropriate) unless a save vs. poison is made
at -4. This transformation takes 1-3 weeks and can be reversed by a Cure
Disease and a Remove Curse spells but once the transformation is complete it
is irreversible short of a wish. The Fungal Mother will always be attended by
many of the Fungal Artillery, Scratchers, and Giants. She is never alone. If
a Fungal Mother is killed, she explodes in a cloud of spores that covers a
60’x60’ area that causes 2d10 damage to all within its area of effect. The
victims of this explosion must also make a save vs. poison at -4 if they fail
their save, they are infected with Fungal spores that will transform the
victim into another Fungal Mother in 1d6 days.
