10-04-07, 09:00 PM The Behemoth, a classic final fantasy opponent, normally appearing late-game and having significant power.

Using several other magical-beast/dragons in the Monster Manual as reference, it would seem a HD total in the range of 17-21 is appropriate.

What HD total should I use to construct the “normal” adult Behemoth?

10-06-07, 01:10 PM If we're looking at the classic Final Fantasy-style monster that's resistant to magic, I'd just use the Tarrasque. Maybe tack on the balor's death throes ability if you want to simulate its dying meteor attack.

I would recommend simply statting the monster up as you think it should be, then determining its CR from there.
