Produced by Tricky Owlbear Publishing, Inc. in association with Headless Hydra Games

Compatibility with the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game requires the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game from Paizo
Publishing, LLC. See http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG for more information on the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game.
Paizo Publishing, LLC does not guarantee compatibility, and does not endorse this product.
 In December of 2009, Mark Gedak emailed me with a proposal to convert about 100 monsters that Paizo could not
fit into the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Bestiary. He and co-writer Stefen Styrsky wanted to give these forgotten
monsters their day in the sun (at this point, we had no idea what Paizo was planning for its next monster book, though
I suspect we would not have been deterred). I immediately agreed to have Tricky Owlbear be publisher of this book
(who would have said “no”?!). With Mark and Stefen, I knew the writing and conversions would be top-notch. A few
months later, when fellow publisher K. Axel Carlsson of Headless Hydra Games got wind of this project, he asked if
his stable of artists could come aboard the project. I welcomed Axel aboard as art director and thus Forgotten Foes
truly blossomed into a project to be reckoned with.

With the long journey of its creation now complete, I can honestly say that Forgotten Foes should be in the library of
every GM who runs The Pathfinder Roleplaying Game. Old favorites as well as new creations (the latter fashioned first
by the artists and then given text by the authors) await to simultaneously delight the GM and terrify his players. I’m
very proud of this tome and of all the people who had a hand in its creation. Now, however, it’s time for me to shut up
and let the monsters speak for themselves. Enjoy (and, in many cases, rediscover) the mysterious, dangerous, and exotic
creatures found in Forgotten Foes!

other types. The specific energy to which a given chao-

status, a chaosiic has developed
substantially in terms of intel-
lect and identity. Greater chao-
siic are still driven by the race’s
biological imperatives, but they are capable of forming
their own goals and desires as well. Greater chaosiic often
seek to spread chaos, not merely out of a lust for violence,
but as a means of amassing personal power or wealth.
Of course, they do precious little with these once they
have them and often abandon their gains as soon as they
grow bored, but their acquisitive nature seems ingrained.
Greater chaosiic are willing to deal or bargain with other
creatures if they believe doing so will advance their own
goals (and chaos in general) in the long run. While they
are far smarter than once they were, greater chaosiic still
possess only average intelligence, and they often overesti-
mate their own perceived cleverness.

Some unlucky planar travelers have run into a race of crea-

tures known simply as jaguar-folk. These jaguar-headed
humanoids had built up a multi-realm empire headed by
twin castes—warrior and religious—through the use of
permanent magical portals (of unknown origin). The ag-
gressive warriors constructed great pyramids on numerous
Prime Material worlds as bastions from which to launch
the successful invasions of the lands. About fifty years ago,
the many slave races from these worlds rose up to defeat
their jag-folk overlords, despite the many felius demons in
the warrior caste’s ranks, and now guard the portals with
unfailing fortitude. Some of the jag-folk’s pyramids remain
unlooted to this day but that is because in most cases a
felius demon and its most fervent minions have refused to
give up the immediate lands surrounding them. These scat-
tered remnants of a once great empire serve as enticing
prizes to adventurers who know about them.

Acid Spray (Ex) A digester can spray acid in a 20-foot

cone, dealing 4d8 points of damage to everything in that
area. The digester can also choose to deliver a concentrated
stream of acid that deals 8d8 points of damage against a
single target within 5 feet. A DC 17 Reflex save halves the
damage for both the cone and the stream. A digester may
only use this ability once every 1d4 rounds. The save DC is
Constitution-based.

Digesters are sometimes called stomachs on legs. The

creatures spend their lives trolling for prey on two power-
ful legs or in hiding, waiting for a meal to come to them.
The creatures inhabit any region where food is plentiful,
from forests to savannahs. They are most plentiful in open
spaces where their long, powerful legs allow them to run
down prey.

The digester is a simple combatant. It dissolves prey with

its acid spray and then sucks up the resulting organic mate-

A gorgimera is a chimerical creature akin to the standard

chimera. It is a highly territorial predator whose hunting
range often covers several square miles around its
lair. The creature makes its home inside caves high
atop mountains or deep inside caverns. A typical lair
contains a mated pair and one or two young.

A gorgimera has the heads of a lion, dragon, and

gorgon. It has the hindquarters of a gorgon and the
forequarters of lion. A gorgimera’s dragon head can
be that of any of the evil dragons (see below). The

Gray renders are solitary beasts found in swamps and

subterranean caverns. Naturally territorial, gray renders
attack all creatures entering their homes. The omnivo-
rous gray render prefers living meat but has been known
to consume carrion even when other food is available.

Unusually stealthy for their size, renders often lie in wait

for prey. A gray render is about 10 feet tall and weighs
4,000 pounds. They reproduce through asexual budding,
never bearing more than a single new render at any one
time. A newborn gray render achieves adulthood in about
six weeks. Its parent feeds and protects it until then, at
which time instinct takes over and the younger render
seeks out its own territory.

Despite their fearsome nature, gray renders possess an

unexplained need to bond with another creature. Once
during its lifetime, a render chooses a single creature
to care and protect as if the creature were the render’s
young, even to the point of bringing it food every day.
There seems to be no pattern to this bond and align-
ment, intelligence, or creature type makes no difference.
Renders follow the orders of intelligent bonds to the best
of their ability, something which evil beings exploit. Oc-

Treasure standard

Foul, subterranean creatures, grimlocks form primitive so-

cieties and spend most of their time hunting for food, fight-
ing amongst themselves or attacking other creatures for
loot and pillage. When roused, grimlocks form small war
parties to raid other humanoids in search of food or slaves.
It is not uncommon for grimlocks to raid surface communi-
ties in the mountains or near entrances to the underdeep.
It is said they prefer human meat above all others. This has
led some scholars to assume grimlocks descend from sur-
face dwellers who lost their way in the lightless depths and
eventually had to resort to cannibalism to survive. Since
sight was not required in such an environment, grimlocks
developed other senses at the cost of their eyes.

Both genders are muscular, gray in color (hence their

natural camouflage), smelly, and hard to distinguish with
a casual glance. Their primitive nature means grimlocks
cannot form large or complex societies. Even if they did,
their natural aggressiveness would soon turn them on each
other. Rarely, a powerful warlock or medusa will organize
several small tribes into a larger force but only for a short
time.

Known as “sea-horses,” the hippocampus often

appears in concert with merfolk who use the
creatures as mounts. They resemble horses in
shape only. Instead of hair, scales ranging in
color from deep green to blue cover the body
of a hippocampus, while the front legs end in
large flippers. The rear portion of a hippo-
campus trails off into a single large fin, much
the same way it does on merfolk. Their manes
are often streaked with silver. When underwa-
ter, the coloration of a hippocampus allows it
to blend into the surroundings and makes it
harder to spot.

The hippocampus is much more intelligent

than a terrestrial horse and only bears riders
of a similar alignment and disposition. Even

a hippocampus must be war-trained if it is to

bound out of range. A lejnth revels in precision combat.
The greatest joy it experiences occurs when the creature
strikes with perfect accuracy. If not for the blood and
screams of the dead and dying, witnessing lejnth at work is
almost akin to watching a ballet. Though deadly and with-
out mercy, lejnth are not indiscriminate killers. They slay
any who oppose them in combat but, unlike sadistic demons
or kyton, do not kill just for the sake of taking life. They
prefer to test their mettle against worthy foes rather than
slaughtering any creature that crosses their path. Unless
commanded to do so, a lejnth does not slay opponents who
have surrendered or pose no threat to them.

The lejnth depicted here is a typical example of its kind.

There are, however, reports of creatures known as war-
mothers – lejnth of Large size with four or more arms, and

scourges maintain a literal stable of humanoids intended
entirely for breeding purposes. The scourges mentally
enslave every one of the community’s inhabitants as soon
as they exist in sufficient numbers to do so.

The ochthichthuruch’s breeding cycle is simple and

invasive. The larvae formed by their tendril tips burrow
through the host to the brain. The brain is instantly slain
and then slowly consumed as the larva grows. Once the
brain is entirely digested, the growing scourge starts to
feed on the rest of the host’s body. This entire process
requires roughly a month; after this time, the (presumably
rotting) body rips open, suddenly erupting with tendrils.
The new scourge crawls from the shattered body and
stands upright, fully intelligent and in possession of all its
racial abilities. Sages postulate that the scourges actually
consume the memories and intelligence of the subject as
well as the physical aspects of the brain. Because their
thought processes are so alien, the scourge cannot access
the victim’s specific memories, such as identity or class
abilities, but it does obtain general knowledge, such as the
basic facts of the world. This allows the young scourge to
function until it first makes telepathic contact with another

unaffected by the blinding flash of its pyrotechnic abil-

Sea cats are large, aquatic predators also known as sea lions
for the ecological niche they occupy. They hunt the coastal
areas of large seas and oceans, and lair in undersea caves or
in half-submerged ship wrecks. Though their diet consists
of fish and aquatic animals, sea cats hunt and kill anything
that enters their territory. As with terrestrial lions, sea cats
maintain a territory into which they do not tolerate intru-
sion. Even creatures significantly larger are attacked if
they trespass on a sea cat’s domain.

Sea cats are intelligent enough to cooperate when facing

more powerful or more numerous foes. In combat they at-
tack with both claws and bite, and attempt to drag weaker
opponents underwater to drown them. Sea cats always fight

Hieracosphinxes are the most animalistic of all sphinxes,

lacking any humanoid aspects. They possess the body of
a lion and the head of a great falcon. They are associated
with the funerary traditions of desert cultures and the
hieracosphinx’s image often presides over burial rights and
temples dedicated to death gods.

142
Their wild nature causes them to attack all creatures in
their territory but also means they venture across the
landscape purposely for the joy of locating creatures to
hunt and slay. In combat, hieracosphinxes demonstrate few
tactics beyond direct attack, relying on brute strength and
numbers to overwhelm opponents. They use their death-
watch ability to focus attacks on a dying creature. Once per
week, a hieracosphinx can “take” the soul of newly slain
being. What happens to the soul or where the hieraco-
sphinx takes it is unknown.

Hieracosphinxes can sense the presence of other sphinxes

in their territory and generally avoid them. Androsphinxes

The two-headed troll is thought to be the hideous offspring

of an ettin and female troll. Sages contend that no other

an ettin and troll, they do not associate with the former, but

that lives (and a few things that do not) is food to a tunnel
brute. They do not negotiate, do not deal, and recognize
other living creatures only as either threat or prey.

A tunnel brute stands between 8 and 9 feet tall, and is over

half that in width. It weighs nearly half a ton. They are
capable of burrowing through solid rock, as well as loose
earth and soil, though their speed is reduced by one-quar-
ter (to 5 feet) when they do so. Tunnel brutes are covered
in a hard chitin, which gives them their insectoid appear-
ance. Colors range from black to dark blue to dull yellow to
burnt umber.

Tunnel brutes communicate among themselves through

a complex series of subharmonic sounds, gestures, and
pheromones. These pheromones have a debilitating effect
on other living beings, causing them to spiral into severe
emotional lows.

While tunnel brutes are sufficiently powerful to overcome

almost any foe through strength alone, they are canny
enough to make use of fairly sophisticated tactics. Their
favored method of attack is to lurk behind a thin layer of
earth or stone, then burst out upon unsuspecting prey,
leading the attack with their debilitating sting.

Origin of the Yrthak

As with many magical beasts, mystery and conjecture shroud the origin of the yrthak. A great bit of evidence hints that
the creatures sprung into being as the result of an ill-worded wish. A few centuries ago, a dwarven mining operation
breached a strange crystal barrier in the earth, releasing a malignant, otherworldly race known as the Crystalline Host.
These evil creatures annihilated the dwarves and swarmed down the mountainside. The first human settlement in their
path was called Yrthak and home to a powerful wizard. In his haste, the wizard cast a wish spell, asking the magic to
“grant each person in the village the ability to turn back these crystal demons.” All men, women and children in the
village transformed into the creatures today known as the yrthak. With their sonic abilities, they easily destroyed the
aggressors and sealed the mine entrance. Generations later, a group of yrthak still live in the hills and mountains, ever
vigilant for the possible return of the Crystalline Host.
