Where might I be able to find 3.0 or 3.5 stats for Kyuss and his creations? I've got the Monster Manual 1, 2, 3, and the Fiend Folio so I have his minions from in there (mainly Spawn of Kyuss and Ulgurstasta).

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Dungeon #130 is a good source of Kyuss spawn which includes the eviscerator beetle, kyuss knight, overworm, sword of kyuss, wormcaller, worm naga, and a worm swarm.

As for Kyuss himself, there's a full write-up in Dungeon #135 which also includes stats for another of his creations called a broodfiend. In general, the whole Age of Worms AP (#'s 124-135) is a good source of Kyuss related material.

Kyuss is the demigod who created the Sons of Kyuss - a form of zombie that has worms crawling through its body. The worms periodically jump at enemies when they attack, and by borrowing to the brain, transform him into a Son. In 3E they became Spawn of Kyuss.

The Age of Worms 12 issue adventure path featured an attempt by Kyuss to invade the mortal world. Turns out he is a high level cleric/worm that walks - an animated hive mind of individual worms that take on a vaguely humanoid shape. Really great stuff.
