In one of my campains, there is a cave called Ordeals. The cavern is haunted by CR 20-23 creatures, most prominiently avatars of the Seven Sins. My problem is how do I stat out Greed, , Envy, Sloth, Glutton, Vanity, and the other one? Can anyone help me? And if someone can post a link to pictures of them for me to use as a descrition, that would help a lot. Thanks in advance.

That's something you do yourself. There was a thread about making people who represented the seven sins on the DM board. If you go far enough back, you'll be able to find the ideas people had for Greed, Wrath, Lust, Sloth, Envy, Gluttony, and Pride.

Vanity isn't one of the sins. The sins are Greed, Wrath, Pride, Envy, Sloth, Lust, and Gluttony.

Vanity is one of the sins. Wrath isn't.

The seven sins are pride(or vanity), envy, gluttony, lust, anger(or wrath), greed, and sloth.
If you want to make sure go here (http://deadlysins.com/sins/).

IIRC, there was a book where each sin was represented by a true dragon, such as Pride dragon, Lust dragon and Envy dragon. I think Mongoose Publishing did it, but I can't recall the title.

On the seven sins website, they have a page that has associated animals and colors here (http://deadlysins.com/sins/history.html). You could use the animals with their respective colors.

Another idea is using human-like forms with faces plastered on them that make their sin obvious. Such as an Anger guy with this really angry face that he can't move. Maybe he has an aura of rage or something that can incite rage in opponents or allies or both.

Lust would be a beautiful woman or man, probably naked, with charm effects, etc. Stuff like that.

Do you want someone to make some stat blocks for you, or are you just looking for ideas?

If you have the money, buy The Book of Fiends by Green Ronin. The daemon section is packed with fiends dedicated to the seven deadly sins. It's also a great book per se.

Then here's Pride and Greed

And these guys Anger, envy and Sloth.

Up their levels to an appropriate CR, and change their abilities a little, voila.

I'd borrow some from Full Metal Alchemist, if you're familiar with it. Basically:
Lust--Beautiful woman, fingernails extend into long lances
Gluttony--Big idiot who can eat anything
Envy--Shapeshifter
Sloth--Can melt into an watery, ooze-ish creature
Wrath--can absorb things into arms and legs, then use them as weapons
Greed--can transform skin into unbreakable barrier of black diamond
Pride--extraordinary powers of perception, can predict all possible outcomes of a situation, seeing the future, in effect.

so in game terms that'd be something like
Lust-advanced succubus with few levels in warshaper
Gluttony-Advanced Famine Spirit
Envy-doppelganger/master of many forms
Sloth-hmm... not sure how to do this one
Wrath-Psychic warrior with the Graft Weapon power
Greed-Psywar with a mondo augmented Thicken Skin manifestation?
Pride-uumm...some special quality constantly active that mimics the effects of the various Precognition powers, full levels in Fatespinner, posibly mindspy (flavor wise he wouldn't be reading minds, but acting on future knowledge, same mechanical effect, diferent flavor)

Sloth might have like something like this.

Water form: in this form sloth gains some benefits of incorporealality. Weapons pass through her inflicting no damage, and magic weapons have only a 50% chance of inflicting damage. Spells continue to affect her, but she also gains Fire resistance 50.

It would look something like that. Each one of their powers has something to do with the sins that they are named after. Try to figure out what each one is.

mine would be the same as yours but
wrath- advanced ragewlker MM#3
pride- mindflayer fatespinner/mindspy as per lords of maddness the highest emotion mindflayers can feel is pride.
sloth- advanced brain in a jar Libris Mortis
