The VOIDRUNNER'S CODEX is coming! Explore new worlds, fight oppressive empires, fend off fearsome aliens, and wield deadly psionics with this comprehensive boxed set expansion for 5E and A5E!
A few of the monsters in Echohawk's ENCyclopedia have variants that aren't currently in the Creature Catalog, so I fancy converting them.
Firstly, as I mentioned in the Lamia thread, we don't have a CC conversion for the Sa'ir.
Secondly, I spent a large chunk of Sunday comparing the various Kraken and Giant Squid entries, and we are missing four variant Krakens:
In original OD&D, the Kraken is the monster in A Merritt's Dwellers in the Mirage, not the sea monster.
In BECMI, Kraken are quite different from the AD&D/3E+ version, so I fancy statting it as a "Mystaran Kraken".
In AD&D's Birthright setting, The Kraken is an awnshegh in Blood Enemies (1995)
Birthright also has an Undead Kraken in Legacy of the Hero-Kings (1996)
So does anyone have any preferences which of the above to convert first? If no one objects, I'm inclined to just go through them in the order they're presented in - so it'd be the Sa'ir first.
Oh, and it's worth mentioning that in Mystara a Catoblepas is called a "Nekrozon" and has immunity to energy drain and death effects, but I don't feel that's enough of a difference to merit a new CC entry, especially as the Catoblepas was given official 3E stats in Monster Manual III.
I'll agree with all that, but let's leave this thread for Echohawk to post updates and put the Sa'ir and various Krakens in the appropriate other places.
