#1 Errabal Oct 16, 2009 8:42:41	Anyone know what the Crawlers from the Ghost King are?  Are they an existing monster or something new?  If new any ideas on stats?  Obvioiusly shadow origin.  I'm thinking minions.  Claw melee basic attack. With All Due Respect, Errabal
#2 The_Silversword Oct 17, 2009 21:02:50	I havnt a clue. I havnt read that book yet, but i am familiar with FR monsters. Could you give a more eleborate description?
#3 sfdragon Oct 17, 2009 23:06:55	thought they were undead myself.......   but no, I dont know what they are.I imagine they are in either the MM or MM2
#4 Errabal Oct 18, 2009 6:58:58	I havnt a clue. I havnt read that book yet, but i am familiar with FR monsters. Could you give a more eleborate description? From the Shadowfell.  Long arms, ending in enormous claws.  Short, almost non-existant stubby legs.  Described as lumpy.  Hairless.  I picture them almost like Carnage Demons but with almost no legs.
#5 The_Silversword Oct 18, 2009 13:26:23	IM getting a mental picture of big bugs. Were they like insectoid or more humanoid? I realize it might be difficult to know, being as they dont have picture, maybe well have to wait for the comic book version to come out?
#6 sfdragon Oct 18, 2009 22:30:51	theo nly crawlers I know of, are the carrion crawlers, and there are about 4 types listed in the rule thingingy demo.
#7 Errabal Oct 19, 2009 7:46:00	From The Ghost King p 92 "The thing was short and squat, a misshapen torso of black flesh and wide shoulders, with a head that looked more like a lump without a neck.  Its legs were no more than flaps of skin tucked under it, but its arms were long and sinewy, with long-fingered, clawing hands.  As Resmilitu rolled away, the creature followed by propelling itself with those front limbs, like a legless man dragging himself." There you go, straight from R.A. Salvatore.  So any ideas from that?
#8 The_Silversword Oct 19, 2009 16:46:40	I aint got a clue. I was thinkin at first that it was buggy, but now i dont know. So it actually has arms and a torso, so i guess it is more humanoid. Doesnt ring any bells. You said it was shadow based? did they encounter it in the shadowfell? It might be just something he made up for the book.

Yeah, they come from the Shadowfell through a tear so that's why I'd go with Shadow origin.
#10 The_Silversword Oct 20, 2009 17:34:12	I'll look through some older Planescape stuff on the Plane of Shadows and see if anything matches up. It could be it was just made up for the book, if thats the case hopefully we'll get a write up of it. I think thats something they should do with all the books. Put out like a Dragon article or something giving us stats for major characters in the book, details of the regions in the books and so forth.

#12 The_Silversword Oct 20, 2009 17:47:28	I think ill be ok. I got everything better organized now on bookshelves. Did have everything in boxes upon boxes, was a real pain digging out a particular book!
#13 sfdragon Oct 20, 2009 18:17:13	might be one of those things from keep on the shadowfel or one of the new modules
#14 The_Silversword Oct 20, 2009 18:36:00	might be one of those things from keep on the shadowfel or one of the new modules Well you check there and ill check in Planescape.
#15 sfdragon Oct 20, 2009 18:56:26	I can only check the rules comp[endium demo. and with 5 crawlers listed Carrion Crawler Flayed Craler Blackstar Crawler(death's reach) and two variants of the carrion  enormous and  crazed.   my best guess its blackstar. the only other place to look would be the MM2. I dont have it
#16 The_Silversword Oct 20, 2009 18:59:14	Itd be nice if they had pics on the Compendium. I'll flip through MM2 as well and Keep on the Shadowfell. I dont have any of the other modules except Tower of Spellgard, and theyre not in that one.
#17 Errabal Oct 21, 2009 9:55:52	I have them all but I'm not finding anything that really fits the description.  Crawler is just a generic name that they use to refer to the creatures, so if there is a real monster for them out there it may not even have crawler in the name.  More and more its looking like some new monster created for the book.   Hopefully, like Silversword said, we'll get some kind of write up about them or maybe see them in the Monster Builder at some point.
#18 The_Silversword Oct 22, 2009 6:52:29	Yeah ive been lookin through various sources, and havnt found anything. Hopefully they'll give us that writeup or some one else will figure out what the hell they are. Im really intrigued now. Im gonna have to read this one.
