These creatures are pretty much compliments of Dungeons and Dragons, Monster Manual 1. I just converted them to PS using Brian's formulae. They should mostly be used as guidelines.


Achaierai

An achaierai always hunt together in small flocks. They are evil, clever, and predatory, with a distinct taste for torture. It can release a choking, toxic black cloud that causes temporary insanity. Their forelegs are also powerful weapons, being able to deliver an extremely powerful kick, and to grab and grasp prey. It can also attack with its beak.

Allip

An allip is the incorporeal remains of a person driven to suicide by madness. An allip is described as having the same features that it did in life, but greatly distorted. The mouth is twisted, and the eyes glow. From the waist down, it becomes much more gas-like, looking like a typical ghost- it has no legs, and trails off into 'vaporous nothingness'. It leaves a faint trail of fog behind it as it moves.

An allip cannot speak intelligibly.

Attacks
Wisdom Drain:An allip is unable to cause physical harm, although it doesn’t appear to know that. It keeps flailing away at enemies, yet it inflicts no wounds. However, An allip causes 1d3 points of Wisdom drain each time it hits with its incorporeal touch attack. On each such successful attack, it gains 5 temporary hit points. To other incorporeal beings, it deals 2+2d6 damage per strike with its flailings.
Special Abilities
  • [Innate]Babble: An allip constantly mutters and whines to itself, creating a hypnotic effect. All sane creatures within 60 feet of the allip must succeed on a DC 10 Intuition save or be stunned for 2d4 rounds. Creatures that successfully save cannot be affected by the same allip’s babble for 24 hours.
  • [Innate]Madness: Anyone targeting an allip with a thought detection, mind control, or other telepathic ability makes direct contact with its tortured mind and takes 1d3 points of Intuition damage.


Ankheg

The ankheg is a veritable land submarine. It is tremendously strong, and can burrow through earth like a submarine can float through water. It is also nearly impossible to spot until its right in front of its opponent. It has one drawback, however, in that it is only effective in open land, and is almost useless in forests and mountains. It is also, unfortunately for adventurers and farmers, a carnivore that delights in taking fresh meat.

Attacks
Bite:2d6+21 plus 1d4+4 acid
Special Abilities
  • [Innate]Improved Grab: To use this ability, an ankheg must hit with its bite attack. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. If the ankheg is damaged after grabbing its prey, it retreats backward down its tunnel at its land speed (not its burrow speed), dragging the victim with it.
  • [Innate]Spit Acid: 30-ft. line, once every 6 hours;Accuracy is 10+1d20; damage 4d6+10 acid. One such attack depletes the ankheg’s acid supply for 6 hours. It cannot spit acid or deal acid damage during this time. An ankheg does not use this ability unless it is desperate or frustrated. It most often spits acid when reduced to fewer than half its full normal hit points or when it has not successfully grabbed an opponent.


Aranea

An aranea is a shapechanging spider. In natural form, an aranea resembles a large spider with a humpbacked body roughly four feet tall. It has fanged mandibles like a normal spider, and two vestigial arms, each about 2 feet long, lie below the mandibles. Each arm has a hand with four many-jointed fingers and a double-jointed thumb.

An aranea weighs about 150 pounds. The hump on its back houses its brain.

Araneas speak Common.

Missile Evade: 18

Attacks
Bite:2d4+6 as well as Poison=Stamina DC 13 to save against 1d4 Strength damage.
Special Abilities
  • [Innate]Web: In spider or hybrid form (see below), an aranea can throw a web up to six times per day. This is similar to an attack with a net but has a maximum range of 50 feet, with a range increment of 10 feet, and is effective against targets of up to Large size. The web anchors the target in place, allowing no movement.

An entangled creature can escape with a DC 15 Dexterity check or burst the web with a DC 22 Strength check. The web has 10 hit points, hardness 0, and takes double damage from fire.

  • [Innate]Change Shape (Su): An aranea’s natural form is that of a Medium monstrous spider. It can assume two other forms. The first is a unique Small or Medium humanoid; an aranea in its humanoid form always assumes the same appearance and traits, much as a lycanthrope would. In humanoid form, an aranea cannot use its bite attack, webs, or poison.

The second form is a Medium spider–humanoid hybrid. In hybrid form, an aranea looks like a Medium humanoid at first glance, but a DC 22 Spot check reveals the creature’s fangs and spinnerets. The aranea retains its bite attack, webs, and poison in this form, and can also wield weapons or wear armor. When in hybrid form, an aranea’s speed is 30 feet (6 squares).

An aranea remains in one form until it chooses to assume a new one. A change in form cannot be dispelled, nor does an aranea revert to its natural form when killed. Divinations spells can, however, reveal it's true nature.
