Do any creatures get Teleport or some variant as a supernatural ability?

11-22-04, 10:49 AM If you can find a creature that has teleport as a spell-like ability, you can get the feat Supernatural Transformation (Savage Species) and turn that spell-like ability into a supernatural one.

I know that Arcana Unearthed from Monte Cook has the sprite which can do this.

A lot of the critters from the lower planes have it.

02-14-05, 02:28 AM Hey, I finally found a monster in the Core 3.5 books that can do it!

Actually, I found a few.

Any creature with the Archon subtype can Greater Teleport (self + 50 pounds only). So, if I Metamorph into one, I can totally BAMF away...3 times a day. That's still pretty awesome.

The Pit Fiend can Greater Teleport at will, its only itself + 50 lb, but thats one heck of a monsther to polymorph into.

02-14-05, 01:17 PM Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't the Celestials and Fiends listed above have Greater Teleport as a Spell-Like Ability?

02-14-05, 02:05 PM Got the Monster Manual right here, Ogre4Hire, and you are at least partly right. All demons and devils have Teleport only as spell-like abilities. Same for unicorns.

However, as Oberoni said, Archons can do as a supernatural ability. Also, archons can do it at will, not just 3/day. (Unless that 3/day is from the Metamorph ability; I have no idea how most psionics work).

After a check of the book, I am 95% sure that the only core creatures that can use any teleportation effects as a supernatural ability are archons and blink dogs. Everything else in the MM is spell-like.

Yugoloths as well have teleport, though I don't have the books out here in front of me to say how often they have it (and it varies by lesser or greater yugoloth types). Of course, they're the ones responsible for granting that ability to the fiends collectively anyways.

Yep, it's a restriction of the Metamorphic Transfer psionic feat.

After a check of the book, I am 95% sure that the only core creatures that can use any teleportation effects as a supernatural ability are archons and blink dogs. Everything else in the MM is spell-like.

That's what I'm seeing as well. I'm just glad I finally found a good way to teleport! And to think that I was going to use a feat to get the Teleport power. No need for that anymore!
