Desert Wraith

This information is intended for use with the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game.

At a Glance

An undead.

Desert wraiths are created when humanoids are killed by skriaxits. Sentient creatures killed by desert wraiths are reanimated as zombies after one day.

Desert wraiths share their principal attack forms with common wraiths, and like all forms of undead they exist to destroy all life. Desert wraiths can take a humanoid form for attacking, and a jackal form for faster movement. They are destroyed by direct sunlight, and take normal damage from holy water.

Habitat

Desert wraiths lair in warm deserts.

Dracosphinx

This information is intended for use with the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game.


At a Glance

A dracosphinx is —in 3.5e D&D— a large lawful evil magical beast— specifically a sphinx.

A dracosphinx has the head and wings of a red dragon, and the body of a lion, with a mane of colorful feathers. The forepaws are built like a lion’s, but scaled, and the claws are splayed like those of a dragon. An average male dracosphinx stands 9 feet tall at the shoulders; females are only slightly smaller. The wings are fully functional.


Xaeyruudh Campaign Notes

Dracosphinxes lair in warm deserts. They may also be found hunting in other regions within a hundred miles of their lairs— badlands, forests, hills, marshes, moors, mountains, plains, rivers, and swamps.

I decided, at least for the Xaeyruudh campaign, that dracosphinxes are related to blue dragons rather than red. This is logical, given that they share their alignment and habitat with blue dragons. Accordingly, my dracosphinxes have a lightning-based breath weapon instead of "flaming gas".

Also, in this campaign dracosphinxes have the same base HD as androsphinxes.

Skriaxit

This information is intended for use with the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game.

At a Glance

A native elemental.

A skriaxit is a composite elemental, similar to the tempest.  Skriaxits are generally only found in Raurin, but they sometimes wander into neighboring lands including Mulhorand, Murghôm, Semphar, Durpar, and the Eastern Shaar.

Although they are elementals and were once summoned from the Inner Planes, they are now native to the Prime Material.

Creatures slain by skriaxits reanimate in three days, as desert wraiths.

Divine Minions

This information is intended for use with the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game.

At a Glance

A native outsider.

This is the term given by lay persons to the servants of the God-Kings… not in the sense that “we are all servants of the God-Kings!” but specifically to the individuals who directly attend the manifestations and guard the incarnations. Each God-King has his/her own minions, and they are quite diverse.

DM’s Notes

Divine minions are the messengers and agents of the God-Kings and therefore may be found anywhere in the Old Empires, occasionally in other places around the Realms where a God-King has interests, and rarely in other Primes or other planes. In other words, they can be anywhere.

Werecrocodile

This information is intended for use with the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game.

Lycanthropes, from the official WotC Monsters of Faerûn Art Gallery... click on the image for the link.
All rights are assumed to be reserved by that website

At a Glance

A shapechanging humanoid.

A lycanthrope which, like other werecreatures, may be found anywhere humanoids dwell.

Rumored to be some kind of cross between a person and a giant crocodile. Most (adult) commoners of the Old Empires dismiss the werecrocodile as a bogeyman featured in tales told by adventurers to thrill children, and most other lands have never even heard of them.

The Xaeyruudh Campaign

Some adventurers, unlike commoners, know better.

In the Xaeyruudh campaign, werecrocodiles are generally followers of Sebek, and may be his creation. They have been (mostly) driven out of Mulhorand —where they once infested the fortress of Sekras— but they are found in small numbers throughout the rest of the Old Empires and it’s suspected that they’ve spread to Veldorn and the southern coast. They might be found anywhere that crocodiles can thrive.

They are quietly rebuilding a ruined city, hidden in the Adder River delta. Their lord, Opus Vitrius, is the mightiest hero the werecrocodiles have known thus far, and he leads them in venerating an interesting alternate deity… Apophis, another Mulhorandi God-King (or something) who is gaining popularity (as opposed to Sebek, who is losing it) across the Old Empires. The Chessentan armies tend to avoid the dangerous delta, so the werecrocodiles’ project is going undetected.
