Sample 001 looks like this (http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/23661974).

Sample 001 is a grotesque monstrousity made by the combination of several humanoids and their animation through the grafting of an unknown monstrous tissue. The creature's multiple heads each connect to the same neural tissue mass, but some overlap enhances certain cerebral facilities while dulling the outer mass.

001s tend to be hostile and irrational. Whether this is because of the way people respond to them, because of the confusion caused by their grafted neural system and malformed body, or because they are just ill tempered and hateful by nature is unclear. Certainly there are still many exceptions, 001s have been known to be friendly and gentle-hearted or merely reclusive creatures attempting to live out their lives.

Combat: 001s usually fight to the death, wailing and firing their eye beams, but they will attempt to retreat, hide, or negotiate when attacked with electricity.

Horrific appearance(ex): creatures suffer a -1 morale penalty to attack rolls against a 001. This is a fear effect.

Unnatural Aura(su): this functions in a manner similar to a frightful presence with a 80ft radius, except that it only affects animals, beasts, magical beasts, plants, and vermin, and the creatures need not see it for it to function. Save dc:13 or be shaken, those with 2hd are frightened and 1hd or less are panicked.

Wailing Caphony(ex): Once per day a 001 can use its heads to produce a series of discordant shrieks of grotesque and horrible intensity. Creatures within 30ft must make a will save to avoid being shaken, a reflex save to avoid deafening and a fortitude save to avoid being nauseated. Each effect lasts one round and has a save dc of 13 (con based).

Eye Beam(pi): every other round, as a swift action, a sample 001 can fire a ray of optical energy dealing 1d10 light damage as a ranged touch attack.

Electric vulnerability(ex): a sample 001 struck by an electric attack also takes 1d6 fire damage and must make a fortitude save dc:10+1/2 electricity damage dealt or be stunned for one round.

Ungodly Reanimation(su): When a sample 001 is slain, unless the body is destroyed, it makes a fortitude check dc:16. If successful, it takes 1d12 rounds to reanimate. If failed, it takes 1d6 hours. In either case, after the duration has elapsed, the creature undergoes a chemical and supernatural change that causes its flesh to shed an eerie bioluminescence providing 5ft of shadowy illumination. Its type changes to undead, it gains a +2 racial bonus to its wailing caphony attack, loses its eye beam, its tentacle can be used as a touch attack (in which case it deals no physical damage) and it gains the following special attacks:
Energy Drain(su): When a sample 001 hits with a claw attack, it deals 1d6 temporary dexterity damage.
Radioactive sting(su): when a sample 001 hits with a tentacle attack, it deals 1d12 radioactive damage.

WTF?!?!?

12-02-05, 08:46 PM I like the concept of this thread - basing a new monster on a single piece of artwork. I've got some nice ones in mind, so I'll get back to this thread in a while...

12-02-05, 08:59 PM Well, it's more just for this picture. >>;

Savant Warlord 13: Yes, it's weird. It's a failed genetic amalgamation. If you don't have anything more constructive or in-depth to say about my creation, please don't bother to post on my monster's thread.
