Salamanders are free-willed beings from the elemental planes, common there but
rare elsewhere. Both look like giant lizards; Fire salamanders are from the
plane of Fire, and Frost salamanders from the plane of Earth. The two types are
mortal enemies, and will attack each other on sight.

It usually attacks on sight. It fights by grasping a victim with its claws and stinging. If either claw hits, the Hit roll for the stinger gains a + 2 bonus. Anyone struck by the stinger must make a Saving Throw vs. Poison or die.

They can only be harmed by magical weapons. They look like real shadows and can alter their shape slightly. Shadows are hard to see and usually gain surpirse (1-5 on ld6). If a shadow scores a hit, it will drain 1 point of Strength in addition to doing normal damage. This weakness will last for 8 turns. Any creature whose Strength is reduced to zero becomes a shadow immediately. Shadows are not affected by Sleep or Charm spells, but they are not Undead and cannot be Turned by clerics. The DM should not use shadows unless the party has at least one magical weapon.

Sharks are vicious predators. They have little intelligence and are
unpredictable. They are attracted to the scent of blood within 300
and it will drive them into a feeding frenzy (they attack but make no morale
checks). They attack by making long, curving passes. Sharks are found in salt
water.

They live in underground caverns and are able to move around slowly. They react to light (within 60) and movement (within 30) by emitting a piercing shriek which lasts for 1-3 rounds. For each round of shrieking, the DM should roll ld6; any result of 4-6 indicates that a wandering monster has heard the noise, and will arrive in 2-12 rounds.

It captures its prey by luring creatures toward its center. To do this, the plant emitsscents and lights. The scents are similar to those near the plant, particularly fragrant flowers or rotting meats. The light is pale glowing, no brighter than a candle at best.
Once a creature reaches the center of the plant, a web of branching arms close in, trapping the creature and slowly crushing it. The branches squeeze with great force, causing 1-4 points of damage per round. In addition, the branches also ooze an enzyme that disolves flesh. This is very slow-acting and only does 1-10 points of damage per turn (not round). Creatures trapped by the sirenflower can still fight but have a -4 penalty on all hit rolls.
When the sirenflower reaches 0 hit points, it is not dead, but all the branches have been chopped away. The only way to totally kill a sirenflower is to dig up and burn the root. The creature grows back at the same rate as a normal plant.
[The sirenflower first appeared in module B6 "The Veiled Society", © 1984 TSR, Inc.]

They are often used as guards by the high level magic-user or cleric who animated them. Since they are undead, they can be Turned by clerics, and are not affected by Sleep or Charm spells, nor any form of mind reading. Skeletons will always fight until killed.

Snakes are found almost everywhere, avoiding only very hot and very cold places.
Most snakes do not usually attack unless surprised or threatened. Some snakes
have poisonous bites, and most are carnivores.
Armor Class: 0 Hit Dice: 10 Move: 180' (60') Attacks: 2 claws Damage: 1-10 each + special No. Appearing: 1 (1) Save As: Cleric 10 Morale: 12 Treasure Type: Nil Alignment: Neutral XP Value:A soul eater is a being from another dimension summoned or granted to high level clerics. It is used to slay beings as ordered by the cleric who summoned or received it. A soul eater appears as a cloud of glowing darkness and can assume any shape desired. Once given a victim to kill, it will not quit until the victim or itself is defeated. A soul eater is highly intelligent and will accomplish its mission by any means it can.
In combat, the creature will attack with two ghostly claws each round. In addition, each time it hits it will drain one point of Wisdom unless the victim saves vs. Death Ray. This saving throw must be made each time the character is hit. A soul eater may only be struck by magical weapons. Silver and normal weapons will have no effect on it. If the victim is slain by the soul eater or has his Wisdom reduced to 0, the victim is dead, and the soul eater will return to its own dimension. Characters slain by a soul eater cannot be raised or reincarnated. Otherwise, the character regains Wisdom at the rate of 1 point per day. If the soul eater's hit points are reduced to 0, it will dissolve into a formless cloud and drift away. It will not return.
If the soul eater's victim is slain by another or if the soul eater is defeated, it will return to the cleric who summoned it and attack him. Because of its rage, it will have 20 HD and will do 3-18 points of damage when it attacks. If defeated a second time, it will disappear forever.
Armor Class: -2 Hit Dice: 5 Move: 150' (50') Attacks: 1 Damage: 2-12 + special No. Appearing: 1-6 (1-6) Save As: Fighter: 5 Morale: 12 Treasure Type: Nil Alignment: Chaotic XP Value:Spectral hounds are creatures from the Dimensional Vortex-the void between all dimensions. In this world they appear as ghostly dogs-pale in color and translucent. Their eyes are formless pools of utter blackness. They are excellent trackers and once on the trail of a creature, they follow it for days.
In combat, a spectral hound attacks by biting. Any player bitten by a spectral hound must save vs. Spells. If he saves, the player suffers only the 2-12 points of damage from the bite. If he fails to save, he begins to fade. This fading is very gradual: in 24 hours the character has faded completely, having the same translucent appearance as a spectral hound. The player's equipment is not affected. When the character fades completely, he is unable to hold any normal items. He is unable to hear or talk to unfaded players. From the faded player's point of view, all normal things appear translucent, while faded things (i.e. the spectral hounds and other affected characters) seem solid and normal.
At any time after a player has been affected, he may be restored to the normal world by a dimension door spell. When the spell is cast, the affected character or characters can step through the dimension door and return to the normal world. Spectral hounds may only be struck by silver or magic weapons. They are immune to fire- and cold-based spells.
Armour Class: 2 Hit Dice: 3 Move: 90' (30') Flying: 150' (50') Attacks: 0 or 1(See below) Damage: By weapon (See below) No. Appearing: 1-4 Save As: Fighter: 4 Morale: 10 Treasure Type: Nil Alignment: Variable XP Value:Spectral minions are the spirits of humans or demihumans who died before they could fulfill powerful vows or quests that had been placed on them. Similar to ghosts, spectral minions do not fully exist on the Prime Material plane. Even in death, spectral minions are bound to the vows or quests placed upon them when they were alive. Every day, they must relive the events leading to their deaths, trying to fulfill their vows and quests. Outdoors, spectral minions must stay within 1,000 yards of where they died. Otherwise, they must stay in the corridor or room where they were at death. Spectral minions have a+1 on initiative rolls, due to their speed.
Spectral minions can only do damage if they died holding a weapon. Such a weapon becomes a part of them. Unless otherwise noted, only 50% of all spectral minions have weapons. Those that do have weapons have swords, unless otherwise noted. A remove curse will get rid of them permanently. If their vow or quest is fulfilled for them, they will disappear forever. When very powerful people, such as high level paladins, become spectral minions, their hit points will be the same as before they died. Spectral minions are barely visible because light passes through them. They look like the people they were before they died, but they have no color and are mostly transparent.

They have no solid bodies, and can only be hit by magical weapons; silver weapons have no effect. Like all undead, spectres are immune to sleep, charm, and hold spells. A hit by a spectre does 1-8 points of damage in addition to a double Energy Drain (lose 2 levels). A character slain by a spectre will rise the next night as a spectre under the control of the slayer.

Though shy, they are very curious and have a strange sense of humor. Five sprites acting together can cast one Curse spell. This will take the form of a magic practical joke, such as tripping or having ones nose grow. The exact effect of the curse is left to the DMs imagination. Sprites will never cause death on purpose even if they are attacked. (the effects of the sprites curse can be countered by a Remove Curse spell.)

It is manufactured somewhat like a golem or a figurine of wondrous power using enchant item, transmute mud to rock, magic mouth, detect invisibility, and limited wish or wish. (Note: detect invisibility is optional but no other detection spell may be substituted for it.) A figure of a man or a creature up to ogre size (smaller or larger will not work) is made of mud and given a heart of stone. The heart must have enchant an item cast on it. The mud is transmuted to rock and the wish is cast. Magic mouth is required so that it can be activated under precise circumstances. However, there is a 2O% chance per activation that the precise instructions will be disregarded and then the stone guardian will attack anything! A special ring of protection from stone guardians can be crafted at the same time a stone guardian is manufactured. This ring will keep the wearer and all others within a 10' radius immune to a guardian's attack. The ring will only work for the stone guardian(s) made at the time the ring was magicked and will be useless against other stone guardians.
The stone guardian takes only 1/4 damage from edged weapons, and normal missiles cannot harm it at all. It takes 1/2 damage from cold, fire, and electrical based spells. It cannot be poisoned, held, charmed, paralyzed, or affectedby fear since it has no mind whatsoever and no living body. It will attack until destroyed. Stone to flesh, transmute rock to mud, stone shape, or dig spells will kill it instantly with no saving throw. A stone guardian can see and hear due to the power of the wish, but can detect invisibility only if that spell is used in its creation.

Powerful spellcasters use them as guardians and potent weapons of war. They are remarkably agile for a stone construct. They are otherwise similar to STONE GUARDIANS (above) in construction, control, special abilities, damage reduction, etc.
Armor Class: 5 or 6 Hit Dice: 2 Move: 120' (40') Attacks: 1 weapon Damage: By weapon No. Appearing: 1-20 (10-60) Save As: Fighter: 2 Morale: 8 or 6 (see below) Treasure Type: (K) M Alignment: Chaotic XP value: 20Swamp orcs, also known as Jors, are the most powerful and cunning breed of orcs. They have developed limited assassin abilities which they use to the utmost advantage. When surprising any victim, jors have a 35% chance to kill by back-stabbing. In addition, jors make a special sleeping poison from swamp plants and waters. They use this poison to coat their weapons (saving throw vs. poison at + 2 or sleep for 2-12 rounds; one use only). Jors are extremely hard to find in the swamp and are surprised only on a 1 in 8 as a result. In addition, they have a 50% chance to hide in natural terrain. Jors surprise on a 1-3 in 6, and are typically armed as follows:
Weapons Chance ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Scimitar and crossbow 30% Scimitar and shield 30% Bastard sword and axe 10% Bastard sword and spear 20% Battle axe and flail 10%
Jors wear a form of scale mail armor (AC 6). Shield use betters this to AC 5.
Jors, like their orcish cousins, hate sunlight and are therefore found outside their lairs only after sunset. For every group in excess of 15 jors, there is a leader and two assistants. Each leader and assistant has 18 hp, and because they are the strongest and most cunning creatures of their group, also have a 50% chance to kill when back-stabbing. If 30 or more jors are encountered, the group includes a sub chief (AC 3, 3 + 4 HD) and 1-4 bodyguards (AC 4, 3 + 1 HD). This large group also contains a master jor (AC 3, 4 + 2 HD) who has a 75% chance to kill when back stabbing. A master jor also has a 90% chance to hide in natural terrain and surprises on 1-5 in 6. Jors generally travel through swamps in small hunting parties composed of young males.
Jor lairs contain females equal to the number of males. All females fight as well as the males but have a less-effective back stabbing ability (15% chance to kill when employing this tactic). Jor lairs also contain jor young (AC 8, 1 HD, noncombatants) equal to 15% of the males. In addition, each lair contains the following: a chief (AC 2, 4 + 5 HD), two subchiefs, 4-16 bodyguards, 12-15 leaders, and 1-6 master jors. Jor chiefs always have the abilities of master jors.
The jors and lizard men are great rivals in the swamp, and they often attack each other on sight. Jors look much the same as orcs, except that their skin tends to be greenish blue in color. It is rumored that all jors belong to an assassin's guild whose goal is to destroy mankind bit by bit.
