"Large intelligent worms with the ability to take on the form of a man. Found throughout the Far North they use their vast supernatural powers to destroy Inuit villages by poisoning wells, murdering livestock, and killing crops."

So says the only book source i can find on them. Hopefully i can find more or I'll have to wing it.

Spells: Worm Men can cast spells as a Sorcerer whose level is equal to their Hit Dice. Certain Divine spells may be cast by them as an Arcane Spell of the same level. These spells are:

1st: Bane, Curse Water, Deathwatch, Detect Animals and Plants, Detect Snares and Pits, Doom, Inflict Light Wounds
2nd: Curse of Ill Fortune, Death Knell, Diminish Plants, Inflict Moderate Wounds,
3rd: Inflict Serious Wounds
4th: Inflict Critical Wounds, Poison
5th: mass Curse of Ill Fortune, Mass Inflict Light Wounds
6th: Harm Mass Inflict Moderate Wounds
7th: Mass Inflict Serious Wounds
8th: Mass Inflict Critical Wounds

Immunities: Worm Men are immune to Cold, Poison, sleep effects, paralysis, and stunning.

Alternate Form (Su): Worm Men can transform into the shape of a human of any gender (the worm men themselves are both genders) at will. The transformation is a move equivalent action. It's stats and abilities are effectively unchanged (it cant use it's bite), but in human form it can now wear armor and use weapons if it knows how.

Quick Healing (Ex): Worm Men that are resting heal 1 hit point per hour.

Combat: Worm Men rarely fight. They sneak into villages in the dead of night and wreak havoc with their spells, or pretend to be men via their Alternate Form ability and claim to be lost so they can infiltrate and sow disorder.

"No one visits that island.  Not even for revenge on what lives there.  No one here will take you across.  Swim if you like.  You'll drown either way..."

According to the Micmac Indians, Gougou is a cannibal Giantess that dwells in a secret cave in the Isle of Miscou in the Gulf of St. Lawrence.  She has been described as a beautiful woman, a mermaid; or a hideous scaled giantess with yellow eyes, pointed ears, fangs, seaweed for hair, and 2 great fins on her shoulders.  She either carries a basket or has a belly pouch that she puts victims in before submerging to drown them.

Improved Grab (Ex): If Gougou successfully hits with her Slam attack she can immediately attempt a Grapple Check as a Free Action without provoking an Attack of Opportunity.  If successful she will attempt to Pin her victim underwater, drowning it.

Rock Throwing/Catching (Ex):  See page 119 of the Monster Manual.

Skills: Gougou has a +8 Racial Bonus to Swim Checks, and may always Take 10 on a Swim check even if threatened or endangered.  Gougou has a +4 Racial Bonus on Hide checks in the water, and when submerged with only her hair and eyes showing she has a +10 Cover Bonus to Hide checks.

Combat: Gougou is pretty straightforward.  She rushes up, tries to grab, and then pulls victims under to drown them.

"Do you hear a baby crying?"

This Native American creature is most often mentioned in the Dakotas, Nebraska, and Montana. It lives in caves, and comes out to hunt, pretending to be a human baby.  In actuality it is some sort of demon or spirit that inhales the flesh off the bones of anyone unfortunate enough to pick it up.

Skills: Cannibal Babies have a +8 Racial Bonus to Bluff checks. They also do not take Size Penalties for Grapple checks.

Inhale Flesh (Su): When picked up the Cannibal Baby will coo and attempt to suckle a finger. If it is offered a finger or can Grapple it then begins to inhale the victims flesh off his body rapidly killing him. The Cannibal Baby does 1d6 Constitution Drain per turn with a successful Grapple check.

Charm (Su): Any being hearing the Cannibal Babies cries must make a DC 19 Willpower Save or take pity on it. The effect is similar to Charm Person, but lasts until the Cannibal Baby attacks. This is a sonic mind-affecting effect. Save DC is Charisma based.

Combat: The Cannibal Baby crawls outside on cold nights and wails just like a human child.  When someone picks it up, it grabs hold of them, and begins sucking the flesh from their bones.

"Beware any women you find in the water here, especially if you cant see her back..."

The Beaver Women are beautiful murderous water nymphs from Blackfoot myth. They will not leave the water and go naked, using their long hair to conceal themselves. Some of them cover themselves in red paint. They will not leave the water because their back and lower extremities are covered in beaver fur. They are adept at bewitching men into the water, and will do so at every opportunity. The fate of these men is unknown, but it is assumed they are either drowned or held captive. Beaver Women despise human women, and will attack them at every opportunity. They will never harm children, and even protect them if possible. Some are a little too fond of children, kidnapping them. The kidnapped girls grow up to become Beaver Women themselves, the fate of the boys is unknown.

Combat: Against males the Beaver Women will immediately try to Charm them after a few rounds of their Gaze attack doing it's work. They will then use magic to give the male the ability to live underwater (if its available to them), or simply grapple him and attempt to pin him underwater. Against women they will try to use their charmed minions to effect her murder, or simply attack her with whatever weapons they have available (Beaver Women are proficient with all Simple weapons). Many Beaver Women are either Shamans or Druids.

"If your wife disappeared near the lakes, you will not be seeing her again.  For the sake of everyone it is best you forget about her as best you can.  Don't go to the Lakes, or you may find yourself with a new wife not of your choosing..."

The Serpent Woman is a 100' long monster living in the Great Lakes. She appears to be a beautiful woman from the waist up, and a monstrous serpent from the waist down. Her haunting beauty is marred slightly by the fangs protruding from her lips, clawed hands, and the scales covering her skin. Long ago her one true love (a human man) was murderd by the tribal shamans for consorting with her (apparently monster/human love is forbidden), and she has hated humanity ever since. Using her movements, voice, and gaze she mesmerizes humans who come near the lakes taking them as lovers. After a few days in her company they start to become snake men, leaving their tribe behind forever.

Serpent Curse (Su): Any humanoid spending time with the Serpent Woman (i.e. in close proximity) for several days begins to turn into a serpent man. Effectively every day the humanoid spends within 60' of her (which is likely because she probably wont let go of him) must make a DC 42 Fortitude Save or he gains the Serpentoid Template permanently. It may not be removed once gained except by a Wish or Miracle spell. Since the Serpent Woman usually kills women it is unknown if it affects them. She is in constant telepathic contact with all victims of her curse, and only loses touch with them if they are over 1 mile away from her. Unlike many monsters the Serpent Woman actually cares for her victims providing thm with food, shelter, and affection. Killing one means her undying wrath, and anyone doing so will have to kill her as well or be pursued for the remainder of their days.

Mesmerizing Appearance (Su): Anyone able to see the Serpent Woman must make a DC 44 Willpower Save (Save DC is Charisma based), or be unable to attack her. They will instead merely stand there Fascinated until either she is out of sight, or notices them. If they succeed they are immune to this ability for 24 hours.

Mesmerizing Presence (Su): Once the Serpent Woman is aware of her Fascinated prey she will begin to talk to it. Anyone hearing the Serpent Woman's voice must make a DC 44 Willpower Save (Save DC is Willpower based) or be affected as if by a Charm Monster spell.

Mesmerizing Gaze (Su): Dominate Monster, 120', Willpower Save DC 44 negates. Mesmerizing Gaze only works on opponents that have been Charmed by her already.

Improved Grab (Ex): If the Serpent Woman successfully hits with her claw attack she may immediately make a Grapple check as a Free Action without provoking an attack of opportunity. If successful she may Constrict the next round.

Constrict (Ex): The Serpent woman may do 4d6+50 damage with a successful Grapple check.

Immunities (Ex): The Serpent Woman is immune to Sleep effects, poison, paralysis, disease, and fear/morale effects.

Skills: The Serpent Woman has a +4 Racial Bonus on Hide, Listen, and Spot checks. She also has a +8 Racial Bonus on Balance, Climb, and Swim checks. She can always take 10 on a Climb check even if rushed or threatened, and may always take 10 on a Swim check even if distracted or endangered.

Combat: The Serpent Woman usually isn't required to be in combat. Opponents usually end up Fascinated or Charmed, and end up her servants/lovers if men. Females however she will generally approach, and not break her Charm/Domination until grappling the female victim. At which point she will grapple her, pull her underwater, and then drown her while constricting at the same time. And she usually has several servants to help as well.

SERPENTOID

Serpentoid is an Acquired Template that can be added to any humanoid.

Size and Type: Type becomes Monstrous Humanoid with the Reptilian and Aquatic subtypes. Size is unchanged.

Hit Dice: Unchanged.

Speed: If the Base Creature doesn't have a Swim or Climb speed, it gains them equal to it's Land Speed

Armor Class: Natural Armor Bonus increases by +2.

Attacks: If the Base Creature doesn't already have a Primary Bite and Secondary Claw attack it gains them. Damage depends on Size. Bite is 1d4 for Small, 1d6 for Medium, and 1d8 for Large. Claws are 1d3 for Small, 1d4 for Medium, and 1d6 for Large. When performing a Full Attack they get 1 Bite and 2 Claws.

Damage: Unchanged

Special Attacks: Keeps all Special Attacks of the Base reature and gains the following:

Improved Grab (Ex): If the Serpentoid hits with it's Bite attack it may immediately make a Grapple check as a Free Action without provoking an attack of opportunity. If successful it may Constrict the next round.

Constrict (Ex): A Serpentoid does double it's Bite damage plus one and a half times it's Strength modifier with a successful Grapple check.

Special Qualities: Keeps all Special Qualities of the Base Creature and gains the following:

True Love (Ex): Anything acquiring the Serpentoid Template is the willing and complete slave of the Serpent Woman. They will not disobey any of her orders and will gladly die for her. The only way to change this is to remove the Serpentoid Template, which can be done by Miracle or Wish. If removed from the Serpent Woman the Serpentoid will attempt to get back to her side at all costs, and take his own life if it becomes obvious he cannot. Should she be killed he will do his best to murder those resposnible, and take his own life after they are gone. Even victims who have been cured sometimes willingly return to her, saying that life with her was better than it was with their tribe (especially considering the prejudices they sometimes face upon return).

Amphibious (Ex): Serpentoids can breathe in water and air equally well.

Scent (Ex)

Saves: Recalculate any Saves you get from Racial Hit Dice since your type has changed.

Abilities: +6 Str, +6 Dex, +2 Con, +2 Wis, -2 Int, -6 Cha

They can always take 10 on a Climb check even if rushed or threatened, and may always take 10 on a Swim check even if distracted or endangered. Serpentoids may use their Str or Dex modifier for Climb checks, whichever is better.

"Who is that woman outside the circle?"

The Deer woman is a destructive apparition from Native American Myth.

Alternate Form (Su): At will Deer Woman can appear to ba a deer. This is a mostly cosmetic change, and does not alter her stats in any significant way.

Trackless Step (Ex): Identical to the Druid ability listed on page 36 of the Players Handbook.

Woodland Stride (Ex): Identical to the Druid ability on page 36 of the Players Handbook.

Unearthly Grace (Su): The Deer Woman adds her Charisma Bonus as a Deflection Bonus to her Armor Class and as a bonus to all her saving throws.

Trample (Ex): DC 19 Reflex Save for half damage, save DC is Strength based.

Hypnotic Gaze (Su): Hypnosis, 60', DC 24 Willpower Save to negate.  Save DC is Charisma Based.  Anyone meeting the Deer Woman's gaze must save or be enthralled (and subsequently not notice she has a deers legs).  Upon choosing a suitable male, he must make another Willpower Save (same DC) or follow her alone into the woods.

Combat: The Deer Woman usually snags a male with her Hypnotic Gaze and leads him far away from his tribe before brutally beating him to death with her hooves.

"Hello young man.  Would you care to walk me home? It's just over that hill..."

The Empusa are the daughters of Hecate.  They appear as hideous women with flaming hair, one leg made of brass, and the other leg that of a donkey.  The Empusa are sent to scare travellers to death.  If hungry they also sometimes become beautiful women to lure travelers to them in an effort to feed  on them.

Blood Drain (Ex): If an Empusa succeeds in a successful Grapple check and manages to pin its victim it drains 1d4 Constitution each round the Pin is maintained.  The Empusa gains 5 temporary hit points with each successful attack.

Terrify (Sp): Once per night the Empusa may attempt to use this ability which works like the Phantasmal Killer spell (Caster Level 10th, Fortitude Save DC 21).

Alternate Form (Su): At will the Empusa may appear to be either a beautiful young human woman, or a cow.  This appearance is purely cosmetic and does not alter their abilities in any way.

Weakness: If an Empusa is insulted directly to her face she must make a Willpower Save DC 38 or flee to her home plane for the next 24 hours.

Planeswalker (Su): The Empusa may freely cross between her home plane and the mortal realm at will.  If she was forced to flee due to being insulted she cannot use this ability for 24 hours.

Combat: Empusa tend to try to lure victims off alone, or ambush those traveling by themselves or only in small groups.  Then they open with their Terrify ability, and run down whoever isn't affected and pins them down to drink their blood.

"Avoid the rivers.  HE travels by the rivers.  Along all the waters.  Only far from water on land are you safe from him, for once he has decided to take you he will look for you forever."

Ahkiyyinni was once an athletic and handsome Inuit hunter whose one true love was dancing.  He died young, and was interred in a hill overlooking a nearby river.  Many years after his death a group of young hunters were sailing by in a boat making jokes about how he couldnt dance now that he was in his grave.  After several cruel remarks Ahkiyyinni clawed his way from his grave and ripped off his own shoulder blade to use as a drum while he danced.  Ahkiyyinni's footsteps made the earth tremble, and his drumbeats caused the river to rise, eventually toppling the boat and drowning the hunters.  Ahkiyyinni then went to explore the world but learned he was bound to the water, and could not venture far from it.  He went mad, and vowed to slay any who crossed his path.

Dance (Su): As a Full Round action Ahkiyyinni can dance.  This will cause localized earth tremors and the level or nearby rivers will rise as long as he dances.  Effects are identical to the Earthquake spell for any opponents on land.  On water they are different.  Any lake or river within 200' of Ahkiyyinni will rise each turn he dances.  Eventully this will cause serious flooding.  Anyone in a boat on this body of water must make a DC 21 Reflex Save (Save is Charisma based) when the river rises or fall into the water.  The rivers edge will progress 5' outwards each round he dances.  The first round it will effectively be shallow bog.  The second round, it will be deep bog, and the next new 5' will be shallow bog.  After that it will be deep water.  Once Ahkiyyinni stops dancing, he may return the river to normal as a Free Action.  If he does not the excess flood water drains slowly away.

Tied to Water (Su): So long as he is within 150' of a river or lake Ahkiyyinni cannot be permanently killed.  If he ventures more than 150' from a body of water he will lose 1 hit point per round.  If he goes to 0 hp, he is dead.  However if he is within 150' of a river or lake he simply disappears when destroyed, and reappears within 24 hours in a random spot along the river.  While standing in the river or lake he effectively has Fast Healing 10, but cannot dance.

Combat: Ahkiyyinni will begin dancing as soon as possible, especially if opponents are on or in the river or lake he's nearby.  If he can't drown them in the river he'll approach physically, but it's rare that he does so.

THE GHOST WRESTLER

The Ghost Wrestler is a phantom appearing to lone braves on the prairies or woods at night. He offers to wrestle them in a match. If they lose, he kills them. If they win he will grant their fondest desire. He is a Fighter whose level is the same as his opponent.  If they try to cheat or summon help he will attack in his full power (20 HD) and kill everyone in sight. The opponent and he must wrestle without weapons or armor or outside help. Whoever can pin the other for 3 consecutive rounds wins. If they are interrupted by the rising of the sun the Ghost Wrestler will vanish, and reappear when his opponent is alone.

Grant Desires (Su): When the ghost wrestler is defeated in combat, he will grant his oppenent his heart's desire before disappearing. Treat this as a limited wish spell, CL 13.

Level Adjustment: ---

"If you wish to go to the mountain tonight we cannot stop you.  But my people will not guide you.  Big Owl has been seen near there, and we will not risk meeting him."

Big Owl appears as a gigantic White Owl or as a sallow skinned giant with greasy hair and round yellow eyes.  He is a cannibal spirit hunting the White Mountain Apache, and is well nigh indestructible. Despite being defeated and even wounded by his brother (a Demigod), he is never killed.

Owl Form (Su): At will Big Owl can assume the form of a gigantic owl, and remain in that form for 1 hour per point of Constitution modifier.  His Size and Type do not change.  He gains a Flight speed of 160 ft. (Good). Instead of his slam he has Talon +29 melee (2d8+15).  If he makes a Full attack he may use 2 Talons +36 melee (2d8+15) and 1 Bite +31 melee (2d8+7). He may not speak in Owl Form, but may use his Glowing Eyes attack.

Glowing Eyes (Su): Charm Monster or Hold Monster (Big Owl's choice), 50', Willpower Save DC 26 to Negate (Save DC is Charisma based).

Fast Healer (Su): Big Owl heals 25 hit points per hour, whether he rests or not.

Immunities (Ex): Big Owl is immune to polymorphing, petrification or any other attack that alters his form.  He is also immune to Ability Drain/Damage, Energy Drain, Mind Affecting Effects, and Acid/Cold/Electricity Damage.   

Immortality (Ex): Big Owl is Immortal and cannot die from old age.  He does not need to sleep, eat, or breath

Hard to Kill (Ex): Big Owl has proven to be almost imposible to kill during his lifetime (and many  have tried).  He is immune to Death Effects, and cannot be permanently destroyed by any being without at least Divine Rank 1. If destroyed by a mortal he returns again 24 hours later at half hit points.

Combat: Big Owl likes to hypnotize or paralyze victims with his great glowing eyes before taking them off to be tortured and devoured at leisure.  If it comes down to a fight he is direct in his attacks, wading into melee and killing off anyone who manages to hurt him first.  In some stories he is a more accomplished shapeshifter.

Almost all Baykok are armed with a magical Club and Short Bow, and they are always proficient with these items.

The club is a +1, Impact, Warrior Bane Club.  Warrior Bane acts liek teh Bane ability, and warrior is defined as anyone possessing levels in a class whose Base Attack Bonus is equal to it's class level (i.e. Fighter, Paladin, Ranger, Hexblade, etc.).

The Short Bow is a +1 Invisible Short Bow.  All ammunition fired from this bow is invisible.  Opponents lose any Dexterity bonus to Armor Class against attacks from this weapon.

These weapons only work when held by a Baykok, otherwise they function as normal non magical weapons.

"There is...something that may know about how to fix your problem.  But whether or not it will wish to cooperate I cannot say.  I can't even say if you will come back alive..."

Vetala are evil spirits who possess corpses and use them as vehicles.

Touch of Death (Su): If the Vetala comes within 60' of a pregnant woman, her unborn child is slain and will miscarry.  A Vetala can cast Finger of Death at will as a Supernatural ability on any child (child is defined as the human equivalent of 12 or younger, this only works on actual children, not people polymorphed or age-regressed due to a spell or effect).

Madness (Sp): The Vetala can cast Insanity as a Spell-like ability 3 times per day.

Frightful Presence (Su): Any creature attcked or charged by the Vetala that has less Hit Dice than it must make a DC 21 Willpower Save (Save DC is CHarisma based) or be Frightened for 2d4 rounds.  If it saves successfully the opponent is immune to this Vetala's Frightful Presence for 24 hours.

Corpse Possession (Su): The Vetala can possess any one corpse within 60' as a Standard action.  The corpse has the physical stats of the original creature with the Zombie template, and can't be of a CR higher than the Vetala (i.e. at most it can animate a CR 7 zombie).  However it is immune to turning (though a successful Turning attempt will expel the Vetala from the corpse, after which a second Turn attempt affects the Vetala normally provided it can be done before it possesses another corpse.), and instead of mindless it has the mental stats/skills/Feats of the Vetala.  If the corpse is destroyed or damaged the vetala is unharmed (and expelled if it's destroyed). 

All Knowledge (Su): This is similar to the Bardic Knowledge ability on page 28 of the PHB, but the Vetala adds it's Hit Dice plus Int Modifier.  However due to the Vetala's odd ability to know the past, present, and future, it has a straight DC 20 check for any question.

Rejuvenation: This is identical to the Ghost ability listed on page 118 of the Monster Manual.  The only way to truly get rid of the Vetala is to find it's body and give it the proper burial rites.

Combat: The Vetala will cast Madness on anyone entering it's graveyard or attacking it's village.  It will then animate a corpse to attack, and repeat until available corpses run out.

This version of the Vetala is a manbat that haunts graveyards at night.

Gayal

Gayal is an Acquired Template that can be applied to any male humanoid whose family has not performed the proper burial rites for him.

Size and Type: Size is unchanged.  Type changes to Undead.  Base Attack Bonus,Skills, and Saving Throws are not recalculated.

Hit Dice: All current and future Hit Dice become d12's.

Speed: Gayals have a Fly Speed of 50 with Perfect maneuverability, unless the base creature already has better.

Armor Class: Natural Armor is the same as the Base Creatures plus its Charisma bonus (minimum of +1).

Attacks: A Gayal retains all the attacks of the Base Creature. The Base Creature gains a Bite attack if it does not have one already. Damage depends on the Gayals size (Fine: 1 point, Diminutive: 1d2, Tiny: 1d3, Small: 1d4, Medium: 1d6, Large: 1d8, Huge: 2d6, Gargantuan: 3d6, Colossal: 4d6). This bite attack cannot be used while the Gayal is maintaining it's Lifelike Appearance (see below).

Damage: Unchanged.

Special Attacks: A Gayal retains all the Special Attacks of the base creature, but those relying on physical contact cannot effect non ethereal creatures (unless it has manifested). The Gayal also gains  Blood Drain, and 1-3 abilities from the following list. The Save DC against a Special Attack is 10 plus half hit dice plus Charisma modifier unless otherwise stated.

Terrifying Appearance (Su): If your Lifelike Appearance is lost, any living creature within 30' seeing your true appearance must make a Willpower Save or become Panicked for 1d6 rounds plus 1 round per point of your Charisma modifier. If they make their save successfully, tehy are immune to the Terrifying Appearance of thsi Corporeal Spirit for 24 hours.

Ghost's Curse (Su): You may cast Bestow Curse at will as a Supernatural ability. Anyone 'slaying' (i.e. temporarily ending your existence without permanently getting rid of you) a Gayal is automatically subjected to this ability and receives no Save.

Bestial Rage (Su): If your Lifelike Appearance is lost you go into a berserker frenzy attacking every living creature you can detect until everything is dead. This state is identical to the Barbarian Rage ability listed on page 25 of the PHB, except you also temporarily grow long claws which you can use as Secondary natural weapons. Damage depends on the Corporeal Spirits size (Fine: -, Diminutive: 1 point, Tiny: 1d2, Small: 1d3, Medium: 1d4, Large: 1d6, Huge: 1d8, Gargantuan: 2d6, Colossal: 3d6).

Blood Drain (Ex): If a Gayal can Pin an opponent with a successful Grapple Check it can Drain 1d4 Con each round the Pin is maintained. On each such sucessful attack it gains 5 temporary hit points.

Unseen (Su): The Gayal may cast Invisibility at will or Greater Invisibility 3 times per day as a Supernatural ability.


Special Qualities: A Gayal has all the Special Qualities of the Base Creature plus Rejuvenation, Turn Immunity, Unnatural Aura, Lifesense, Lifelike Appearance, and 1 other from the following list:

Rejuvenation (Su): This is the same as the regular Ghosts ability listed on page 118 of the Monster Manual but deserves some clarification. A Gayal may be laid to rest by performing the proper burial rites and continuing to show it respect.  If the proper respect is not maintained it may return.

Turn Immunity (Ex): You are Immune to Turn/Rebuke Undead attempts.

Unnatural Aura (Su): Animals will not come within 60' of a Gayal, and Panic if forced to do so (they remain Panicked so long as the Gayal is within Range).

Lifesense (Su): Gayal may automatically sense Living creatures within 100' as thought they had Blindsight. They also automatically know the strength of their life force as if they had cast Deathwatch, and whether or not that creature is a relative.
 
Lifelike Appearance (Su): Gayals appear to be alive and healthy. They are warm to the touch, and even appear to breathe. But this is illusion. Anyone who suspects them can make a Willpower Save ( DC is 10 plus half hit dice plus Charisma modifier) to see through it. In which case they see the Gayal as he was when he died. The Gayal cannot maintain this facade if it has been more than 2 weeks without feeding, or on Hallowed ground. If a Gayal has fed within the last hour it's Lifelike Appearance cannot be seen through. After that hour it may be seen though as normal. Spells that would detect it's undead nature or health or alignment do not work upon it well. The Gayal gets a Willpower Save (Dc is 10 plus spell level plus appropriate attribue modifier) to control what information its opponent receives. This does not work if the Gayal has lost it's Lifelike Appearance.

Iron Skin: The Gayal has Damage Reduction 10/Magic.

The Blood is the Life (Su): For 1 hour after feeding all rolls made by the Gayal are at +2.

Spell Resistance (Ex): The Gayal gains Spell Resistance equal to 10 plus half its hit Dice plus its Charisma modifier.

Unnatural Vitality (Ex): The Gayal may add its Charisma modifier to it's hit points instead of it' now nonexistent Constitution score.

Saves: Saves remain unchanged except for changes due to new stats.

Abilities: +4 Str, +4 Dex, +4 Wis, +4 Cha. Gayal have no Constitution Score.

Skills: Gayal have a +4 Racial Bonus to Hide, Intimidate, Listen, Move Silently, Search, and Spot checks

Feats: Unchanged.

Tympanios

Tympanios is an aquired template that can be added to any human. 

Size and Type: The creatures type changes to undead.  Do not recalculate base attack bonus, saves, or skill points.  Size is unchanged.

Hit Dice: Increase all current and future Hit Dice to d12's.

Speed: Same

Armor Class: Increase Natural Armor Class by +1

Attack: A Tympanios' unarmed attacks and grapples do lethal instead of subdual damage.

Special Attacks: The Tympanios retains all class abilities it had while alive.  Abilities that were based on Con are now based on Cha.  i.e. if the base creature were formerly a Barbarian, the duration of your rage is based on Cha insead of Constitution.  It also gains the following:

Horrific Appearance (Su): If it wishes a Tympanios may appear bloodstained and obviously dead.  Any living creature within 60' immediately must make a Fortitude Save DC (10+ 1/2 Ghosts Hit Dice + Charisma modifier) or take 1d4 points of Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution Damage.  A creature who saves cannot be affected by the same Tympanios' Horrific Appearance for 24 hours. 

Special Qualities: The Tympanios retains all class abilities it had while alive.  Abilities formerly based on Constitution are also now based on Charisma like Special Attacks are above.  It also gains the following:

Damage Reduction (Su): Damage Reduction 5/-

Immunities (Ex): A Tympanios is immune to being turned like most undead.

Resistances (Ex): Resistance 10 to Cold and Fire.

Rejuvenation (Su): Most Tympanios are immune to destruction.  Regardless of what is done to them they will return in 2d4 days after being destroyed.  The only sure way to get rid of a Tympanios is to find out what it wants (most have come back for a purpose) and see to it they get it or are at least shown that what they want is unnattainable.  If the ghost is appeased it leaves for the afterlife.  If it is thwarted in tis desires and realizes they are impossible to achieve they go into a rage for up to (Charisma modifier, minimum 1) hours before disappearing destroying all in their path.  During this time their DR increases to Damage Reduction 10/-.

Weaknesses: Some Tympanios (especially evil ones) are compelled to either drink the blood of the living or eat their flesh.  Many attack their own relatives.  They have no fangs or claws like vampires or other undead so they must beat their victims to death before ripping them open to feed.  A Tympanios who spends time among the living must make a Willpower save DC 15 (+1 cumulative per hour or day they go without blood) every hour if Evil or every day if otherwise or go mad and attack someone for blood.  Feeding a Tympanios blood willingly will abate this madness.  Relatives may also feed it animal blood in an attempt to trick it, but if the Tympanios discovers this it will go mad and attack.

Abilities: Increase from the Base Creature as follows: Str +6, Cha +2.  As an undead creature the Tympanios has no Constitution score.

Feats: The Tympanios gains Improved Unarmed Strike and Improved Grapple as Bonus Feats.

Environment: The afterlife, or their former home.

Organization: In Greece its Solitary, in the afterlife 10-100

Challenge Rating:+2

Treasure: usually None

Alignment: Becomes Chaotic Evil if formerly any Evil alignment, Chaotic Neutral if any other Chaotic alignment, or Neutral if any other non evil, non chaotic alignment.

Advancement: By character class.

Level Adjustment: +5

The Tympanios is not quite a vampire despite its predilection for blood and more of an 'embodied ghost'.  The solid manifestation of a dead relative that visits the earth one month out of the year.  While their living relatives are sometimes happy to see them they understand the fickle and violent nature of their dead ancestors and placate them as much as they can wth food and drink and offerings of blood.  Below is an exampel of a famous Tympanios called Philocritus:

                      Philocritus
                      Medium Undead, Expert 3, Aristocrat 2
Hit Dice:           5d12 (32 hp)

Base Attack/Grapple:  +3/+5
Attack:               Slam +5 melee (1d3+2)
Full Attack:          2 Slams +5 melee (1d3+2)
Space/Reach:          5 ft./5 ft.
Special Attacks:      Horrifying Appearance Save DC 17
