SPECIAL ABILITIES
Ink Cloud (EX) A cecaelia can emit a cloud of
jet-black ink 10x10x10 feet once per minute
as a free action. The cloud provides total
concealment, which the cecaelia usually uses to
escape. All vision within the cloud is obscured.
This ability only works when the cecaelia is
underwater.
Jet (EX) A cecaelia can jet backward once per
round as a full-round action, at a speed of 200
feet. It must move in a straight line, but does
not provoke attacks of opportunity while jetting.
This ability only works when the cecaelia is
underwater.
Cecaelia are aquatic humanoids that are similar
to merfolk except that they have the lower body
of an octopus rather than a fsh. In spite of this
disturbing appearance, cecaelia are not evil.

Many cecaelia families can be found within
merfolk communities. Merfolk tend to treat the
cecaelia as a human would a dwarf or halfing.

Sailors often encounter solitary cecaelia
bards and are enchanted by their songs.
Unfortunately, some sailors see the cecaelia as
monstrous and attack when they feel that they
have been duped.

Cecaelia as Characters

not possess racial Hit Dice. All cecaelias have the
following racial traits:

It is a tornado of utter darkness, a black smoke which not only blocks out the sun but seems to promise
there shall never be another dawn. Clouds of fne ash, greasy and clinging, billow out from it all directions,
coating the area around it in grey. The dust makes breath diffcult and painful, and then it is upon you,
and your screams and the howl of its winds blend into one...

It is commonly known that elemental entities, being soulless, cannot arise as undead. There are no
vampire xorn or arrowhawk wraiths. It is also commonly known that the surest way to get a thing done is
to tell a wizard that its impossible.
A deadsoul elemental is a creature created through a depraved ritual. A large number of innocents are
slain, in a manner specifc to each of the four known rites, and their souls are kept briefy trapped by
potent magic. Then an elemental of large size is summoned, using the materials resulting from the
murders, and it, too, is killed, and its physical form, before it can discorporate, it merged with the
trappedsouls, creating a hybrid creature that is, in fact, a type of undead.
Deadsoul elementals cannot come into existence by accident, nor can they propagate themselves as other
undead do. They are always made for some purpose, whether guarding a specifc location, destroying a
given enemy, or simply as a show of power and might. However, they are not truly mindless like skeletons
or zombies, and the nature of their creation flls them with unholy rage. While they are initially bound to
obey their creators, they can be freed if their creator dies, or is somehow weakened and left unable to
maintain control. Deadsoul elementals will always obey the letter of their commands but some are cunning
enough to twist the spirit in order to attain freedom.
Because they are undead and bound to the mortal world, deadsoul elementals are not considered
summoned creatures. Any spells, abilities, or effects which specifcally target Outsiders will not affect
them. Spells, abilities, or effects which target their elemental subtype (air, earth, fre, water) will affect
them as usual.

based.
Cloud of Darkness (SU) The charnelsmoke constantly
emits cloud of black ash. The area within a 30 foot
radius of it is considered to be an area of darkness.

Charnelsmokes are a type of deadsoul elemental (see above). They are created in much the same way
as pyreborns, but instead of using the fame, the creators use the smoke and befouled air. Far more
mobile than the other deadsouls, they are often used against enemies thought unreachable. When freed,
or if they escape, they wander, preferring mountain valleys and other high places. If they see any aerial
constructions, such as fying castles, they will be drawn to them.
It begins as nothing more than an odd wave on the surface of the water, a wave moving against the
pattern of the other waves. The wave grows, and swells, and those on deck can see bodies swirling inside
it, decayed and rotted bodies whose motions seem more than that of corpses foating in turbulent water.
Then the wave draws itself together and arises, a column of water that moves of its own accord, flled with
the reek of the dead left to bloat and rot beneath the sea, suddenly exposed once more to air. It spills
itself onto the deck of the ship and the living join the dead already within it...

Chokewater
SPECIAL ABILITIES
Corrosive Decay (SU) The chokewater embodies all
that is destructive about the sea. Its waters are the
essence of rot and corruption. Any time it is hit with a
melee attack, the attacker must make a DC 23 Refex
save or his weapon gains a -1 to attack and damage
rolls. (This is cumulative to -5, at which point the
weapon falls apart.) Anyone struck by a slam attack
must make a DC 23 Refex save or lose one point of
armor bonus. This is cumulative to a total of -5, or
the armor bonus reaches 0, at which point the armor
falls apart. The save DC is Charisma based. Repairing
the damage is a DC 20 Craft (Armorsmithing or
Weaponsmithing) check and will take 1 hour per point
of decay.
Grab (EX) If the chokewater hits with a slam attack,
it may begin a grapple as a free action. On the turn
following the grapple, it may put the target inside itself,
(see Swallow Whole)
Swallow Whole (EX) The chokewater does not so
much swallow as absorb the target; it takes no bite
damage. Instead, it takes 5d6 points of damage per
turn from the ravenous corpses inside the chokewater,
who tear and claw at it. All other rules for swallowed
creatures apply.
Chokewaters are a type of deadsoul elemental -- see above. They are created by the deliberate drown-
ing of at least a dozen sentient beings in a brackish, diseased, tidal pool, followed by the summoning and
slaughter of a water elemental. Certain evil underwater races are particularly fond of creating this type
of undead. Free-roaming chokewaters will cruise beneath the surface, effectively undetectable, until they
come upon some unfortunate ship; then they emerge and slaughter the crew.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Earth Mastery (EX) A graveearth gains a +1 bonus
on attack and damage rolls if both it and its foe are
touching the ground. If an opponent is airborne or
waterborne, the graveearth takes a -4 penalty on
attack and damage rolls. (These modifers are not
included in the statistics block.)
Hurled Tombstone (EX) The graveearth can rip
tombstones out of its body and hurl them as ranged
weapons. This is a standard action.
Touch Of The Grave (EX) To know the touch of the
graveearth is to know the chill of death. Anyone hit by
its slam attack must make a DC 20 Fortitude save or
become slowed. The save DC is Charisma based.
Graveearths are one type of deadsoul elemental -- see above. They are created by summoning, and then
slaying, an earth elemental above a mound of dirt and soil created by desecrating a graveyard. While
some are still under the control of their creators, others have become free-roaming creatures. Slow wit-
ted and perpetually angry, they cross the world motivated only by a hatred for the living. In combat, they
prefer to smash things, but will hurl tombstones at foes which are out of reach, especially those which are
airborne. (The Hurled Tombstone attacks does not suffer a penalty when attacking airborne or waterborne
foes.)

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Spirit Burn (SU) The pyrefame elemental burns not
just the body, but the soul. Those hit by a pyrefames
slam attack also must succeed on a DC 21 Refex save
or catch on fre, suffering 1d6 damage/round for 1d4
rounds. For each round the victim burns, they also
take 1d4 points of Wisdom damage. The save DC is
Charisma based.
Unholy Fire (SU) Infused with the chill of death,
a pyrefame is not vulnerable to cold. Other effects
which target or interact with the Fire subtype affect it
normally.
Pyrefames are a type of deadsoul elemental -- see above. They are created by the incineration of the liv-
ing -- at least a dozen -- in an unhallowed space, with that fame used to summon a fre elemental, which
is then slain and recreated as a pyrefame. Pyrefames are often used as guardians for temples, especially
those dedicated to evil gods of fre. Particularly cruel fre giants will sometimes bargain with magicians of
other races to acquire these creatures as well. Pyrefames are not intelligent, but they can possess a low
cunning and have an overwhelming desire for freedom, leading to some becoming wandering disasters,
leaving a trail of ash and charred corpses in their wake.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Illusory Fear (SU) The fear mongers main ability is
to make its victim distrust and fear his allies. Once
per round, the fear monger can select a target and
cast an illusion on the ally of the target that only the
target can see. The illusion makes the ally appear to
be preparing an attack on the target in some manner.
This ability acts as the mirror image spell. The fear
monger can change targets each round, leaving the
previous effect to last another 2 rounds.
A fear monger is the spirit of a deceased person that
was betrayed by someone she trusted. This spirit now
spreads fear and paranoia to groups of people that pass
the spot where she was betrayed.

As fear mongers remain where they were killed, a
fear monger is most commonly found within an
abandoned castle or in good camping spots in the
wilderness.

If a creature can communicate with a fear monger, it
might be possible to negotiate with it and put an end to
its suffering. Fear Mongers start as Hostile; if brought
to Indifferent it leaves the creature and allies alone. If
brought to Friendly, the fear monger accepts her fate
and becomes at peace.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Corners of Reality (EX) As beings of chaos
and uncreation from the heart of Limbo, the
hayula exist at slight angles to reality. This
grants them the following benefts:
Concealment (20% miss chance) against
ranged attacks.
15-foot reach, due to the fact that
attacks do not all come from the exact
position in which a hayula stands.
A hayula may ignore an opponents cover
(but not total cover) when making melee
attacks, due to the unnatural angles of its
strikes.
For purposes of determining whether a
hayula fanks an opponent, it is considered
to occupy both its own square and any one
other adjacent square of its choice.
Elemental Rend (SU) A hayula can declare a
single melee attack to be an elemental rend.
If the attack strikes and deals damage, the
target must succeed on a DC 15 Fortitude
save. Should the save fail, the hayula draws
forth a portion of the targets physical makeup,
which takes the form of an elemental under the
hayulas command. The elemental thus created
has a number of Hit Dice equal to one-half the
targets. The elemental is treated in all respects
as though it had been created via the hayulas
touch of unmaking ability; see below. (If this is
more HD-worth of elementals than the hayula
can control, no elemental appears, but the
target still suffers the following effects.)
The target shrinks, due to the loss of mass,
dropping to the next lower size category.
It receives a 2 penalty to Strength and
Constitution. All modifers other than these
ability penalties match those presented in the
spell reduce person. This effect is permanent,
but can be reversed via break enchantment and
similar effects.
Outsiders and creatures already suffering from
an elemental rend are immune to this ability.
It requires one full minute of meditation before
the hayula can use elemental rend a second
time. Thus, it is essentially useful only once per
encounter. The save DC is Strength-based.
Touch of Unmaking (EX) The hayula is a being
of chaos and uncreation. All his melee attacks
are considered chaotic, and deal extra anarchic
damage.
Any creature slain by the hayulas melee attacks
instantly discorporates into its component
elements, taking the form of one or more
elementals under the hayulas control. The
victim cannot be returned to life via raise dead
or resurrection, but true resurrection, miracle,
and wish can do so. A being so slain produces a
number of HD-worth of elementals equal to its own
total Hit Dice (or half its Hit Dice, if it has already
been affected by the hayulas elemental rend).
The hayula decides what form and quantity these
elementals take. For instance, upon slaying a 4th-
level fghter, the hayula could call forth a single
4-HD earth elemental, or a 2-HD earth elemental
and a 2-HD water elemental. Most creatures
can produce elementals of any of the four basic
elements (including fre, which comes from the
soul, or spark of life), but the DM may determine
that certain creatures, such as constructs, can only
produce specifc types of elementals.
The elementals serve the hayula faithfully, and
remain for one hour before fading away to merge
with the elemental planes. Between his touch of
unmaking and elemental rend, a hayula may have
no more than his own Hit Dice-worth of elementals
under his command at any given time. (Thus, a
standard hayula could potentially have up to 10-
HD of elementals at once.) If the hayula slays a
creature that would bring his total above this limit,
the target still discorporates, its essence dispersed
to the elemental planes, but no elementals appear.
Outsiders do not discorporate or produce
elementals when slain, but are still subject to the
hayulas anarchic damage.
The hayula are genie-kind spawned in the elemental oases that rise and submerge amidst Limbos eddies
of pure chaos. Beings of both madness and primordial matter, the hayula (and, legend holds, the far
more potent genie lords who rule over them) seek to return the mortal realm to the purer state of its
component elementsunmaking all life and creation in the process.

Most other varieties of genies refuse to acknowledge their relation to the hayula, and the hayula in turn
hold their elemental cousins in disdain. Then again, hayula hold most creatures in disdain. While they
consist partly of the four major elements, theyre more accurately creatures of manifest chaos, and though
capable of ordered thought, they prefer to act on instinct and emotion. Hayula actually fnd following
orders or intricate plans to be physically painfuland, so some claim, suffer similarly when witnessing the
orderly and lawful behavior of others. Hayula fght, not necessarily to kill, but simply to disrupt the orderly
fow of the world and the people around them. They often ally with other violent creaturesdestructive
elementals, bandits or raiders, demons, and the likesimply for the opportunity to sow discord.
Oddly enough for creatures of such chaotic temperament, a hayula makes every attempt to keep his word
once hes given it (though, unlike some other genies, if circumstances make keeping a promise impossible,
the hayula doesnt consider it a mark against his honor). Precisely why the hayula consider their word
important is unclear, but presumably comes from traditions that date back to the days of more frequent
interaction with other genies. For this reason, hayula rarely give their word on anything, and if forced to
do so, are masters on par with devils of leaving themselves loopholes in the letter of their promises.
In combat, hayula use their elemental rend ability early, in order to bring new allies to the fght, and
prefer to focus their efforts on one foe at a time, in hopes of dropping him and drawing forth yet
more elementals. Theyre often found in the company of elemental creatures other than those theyve
summoned, treating these pseudo-creatures as the true form that life should take and considering other
living creatureslike, say, peopleto be abominations of the natural order.

Resembling a gargoyle in nearly every aspect, the malachite gargoyle appears to be made entirely from
the brilliant green mineral.
Much more powerful and profoundly more intelligent than their gargoyle cousins, the malachite gargoyles
are just as cruel and sinister, delighting in destruction and murder. Because of their enhanced intellect and
magical abilities, malachite gargoyles often take over packs of gargoyles, leading them as war chieftain on
more sophisticated raids and attacks against human settlements.

Malachite Gargoyles

Summon Swarm (Su) Once per day, the master of coils can attempt to summon a cobra swarm (see
below) with an 80% chance of success. If successful, the master of coils vomits out the mass of writhing
serpents into an adjacent square. If there is no unoccupied adjacent square, the summoning fails.
The master (and mistress) of coils resembles a male or female human for the most part, with golden eyes
that resemble those of a serpent. Both sexes tend to wear hooded cloaks to conceal their features, and
often decorate themselves with jewelry that is serpent-themed. Tattoos of various snakes cover the fesh
of the master of coils, which manifest to life upon command.
According to their own legends, the masters of coils once ruled over a powerful empire that has since
drowned in the endless desert sands. What remains of their people and culture survives in scattered,
disunited nomadic tribes.
What is known is that the masters of coils have long been at war with the scorpionfolk, and it is believed
by many that the two cultures drove each other to utter ruin. To this day, the two races hold a violent
vitriol toward one another, savagely attacking each other on sight.
The masters of coils exist in itinerant tribes, acting as traders or raiders, or both. Though more common
in desert regions, the masters of coils have since spread across the breadth of the world and now may be
found nearly anywhere.
The tribe is ruled by a prince and princess, which is a master and mistress of coils who claims descent
from an ancient and royal bloodlinewhether or not these claims are true are irrelevant. The masters of
coils are slaves to tradition and abide by their customs and law with an almost religious devotion. Those
who dishonor themselves or their tribe are exiled.
Exiled masters of coil often sell their services as bodyguards, bounty hunters, or assassins.
In combat, the master of coil is fearsome to behold, wading into the thick of battle with his scimitar,
cleaving muscle and bone with each stroke and summoning his snakes to lash out at exposed fesh.
The writhing mass of serpents pulses across the foor, the savage hissing promising doom to any creature
unable to fee from its path.

A corpse lurches towards you, its tunic partially torn away. Its chest cavity is torn open, revealing a
hideous spider nestled inside, its legs pulling at wiry strands of webbing that disappear deep into the
ragged hole.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Animate Dead (Sp) A puppet spider
Puppet Spider
can enter a corpse and animate it while residing within. This effectively transforms the corpse into
a fast zombie. The fast zombie must be destroyed before the puppet spider can be attacked. A puppet
spider may only animate a zombie of up to 10 hit dice.
Web (EX) Puppet Spiders can use their web ability even when riding a corpse as long as they have access
(the spider cannot be covered by a shirt or armor).

A puppet spider is a predatory creature with a taste for humanoid fesh. It has the ability to crawl inside
a corpse and animate it like a fast zombie in order to get close to its victims and kill them. A puppet spider
generally lives in caves and ruins, but it is also found rooting through the corpses in fresh battlefelds.
A puppet spider usually animates a medium or large sized corpse, being too big to comfortably rest inside
anything smaller (and too small to properly animate anything larger). It takes a puppet spider a day to
properly hollow out a corpse, but some puppet spiders have extra corpses lying about that have been pre-
prepared. It takes the puppet spider a standard action to animate a corpse once inside.

Racing across the ground at astounding speed is a tiny fgure, mere inches in height. It has the rough
brown texture of a root, but bears a vague semblance of a humanoid shape.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Piercing Cry (SU) Once per day, a vile
mandrake can emit a piercing wail, audible for
Vile Mandrake
miles. All creatures within 20 feet must succeed on a
DC 16 Fortitude save or drop to 1 hit points and begin dying (normal chance to stabilize). Those who
succeed on their save are instead deafened. Those outside 10 feet but within 50 feet are deafened if they
fail their save, and unharmed if they succeed. This deafness lasts until magically cured. The save DCs are
Charisma-based.
If a vile mandrake has not already used its piercing cry for the day, it unleashes it automatically when
slain.
Sympathetic Bond (SU) The vile mandrake can set up a mystical bond between it and any living
creature it touches (DC 14 Will save negates). Once this bond is established, the vile mandrake suffers
only half damage from any attack, spell, or effect that deals hit point damage. The remainder of the
damage is instead suffered by the subject of the bond. Once established, the bond can only be broken by
the destruction of the vile mandrake that established it, or by a break enchantment spell. (Consider the
vile mandrakes caster level to be twice its Hit Dice for these purposes.)

A vile mandrake can have only one such bond active at any given time; if it establishes a new one, the old
one ends. A creature that successfully saves against the sympathetic bond cannot be affected by the same
vile mandrakes bond for 24 hours. The save DC is Charisma-based.
Few herbs are cloaked in as much folklore as the mandrake root. It is said to possess all sorts of medicinal
purposes, from safe anesthetics to increased fertility. Some say it grows wild, others in places of great
mystical signifcance, and still others in the fuids spilled from a hanged corpse.
That, however, is normal mandrake. The mobile, malevolent root known as vile mandrake is an entirely
different story.
Vile mandrake sprouts from earth contaminated with the remains of destroyed undead, or the graves of
living beings slain by negative energy. The site must remain undisturbed until it has been bathed in the
light of 13 full moons, and watered by storms that occur only during the day, never at night. Should this
exceedingly rare confuence of events come to pass, the result may just be a sprout of vile mandrake. Vile
mandrake roots are fully mobile and gifted with a malign intelligence (albeit one barely above the level
of most animals). Unlike most plants, it does not seek to propagate itself, for it has no power to do so.
Rather, its sole purpose is to spread pain. Born as it is of negative energies, its very life is agony, and it
seeks only to share its suffering with others.
A vile mandrake root stands roughly 2 to 3 inches in height, and weighs about 8 ounces.
Vile mandrake roots are not especially tough combatants, though they are exceedingly diffcult to hit.
They prefer to attack sleeping victims, either naturally or due to their aura of drowsiness. A vile mandrake
begins combat by using its sympathetic bond on a victim. It looses its piercing cry only if cornered or
about to be slain.
