OPTIONAL CONTENT—VOLUME VII: MONSTERS
The latest installment in the series of free Naruto d20 supplements deal with creatures,
monsters, demons, and beasts, with beings strange and supernatural, and things that go
bump in the night. Though not every variety of monsters is represented in this book, it
should serve as a good base to get a canny GM started!
FOREWORD AND INTRODUCTION

This book is designed to put a bit of a fantasy twist on the game. Back in its inception in
the strange and distant year of 2012, this was quite a bit more of a stretch than it when
the manga ended a few years later, in 2014.
One of the biggest problems with running a game of Naruto d20 has always been that a
bestiary doesn't exist as an easy tool to create NPCs and run quick adventures without
outrageous amounts of preparations, which many of you have always taken as the nature
of the beast, and that was fine.
Well, this book... doesn't really fix any of that, to be perfectly honest, because there still
isn't an easy way to create NPCs, but it does open up quite a few more options to make a
campaign a little bit stranger and more interesting.
Despite the obvious high fantasy nature of these creations, there should still be a bit of
everything for everyone, from manga staples like giant animals, to monsters like the
miage-nyudo, and sealed items for the avaricious murder hobo in all of us.
I hope you'll be able to enjoy this book with friends, and forgive me for being a few years
too late putting it out!
Until next time, enjoy.

— Frankto Vinneti, the author
SECTION I: CREATURE BASICS

In this section we explore new changes on basic game mechanics. This includes new uses
for skills and an update to the way NPC and creature entries are laid out.
New Uses for Skills

With the introduction of new creatures comes a host of new possible situations and
scenario, which can require their own respective skills. Most of these skills involve
specific knowledges covered under the Knowledge skill, but not all. This section will
detail all new uses for skills related to creatures, spirits, and spirit planes.
Knowledge
Ths various knowledge skills are expanded in this section to cover the following
information.
• Arcane Lore: Aberrations, dragons, ooze and outsiders.
• Behavioral Sciences: Fey and shapechangers.
• Civics: Laws and code of conducts employed by various sapient creatures.
• Current Events: Feuds and wars between factions and creatures.
• Earth and Life Sciences: Animals, monstrous humanoids, magical beasts and
plants.
• History: Humanoids and kaijuu. Mystical artifacts.
• Physical Sciences: Spirit planes and their features.
• Popular Culture: Local legends surrounding a specific creature or creature type.
• Tactics: Unit creatures. Rare and heroic creatures.
• Technology: Constructs.
• Theology and Philosophy: Spirits, undead and oni.
Languages and Language Groups

Not all, or even many, creatures speak the local language. This book introduces a new
language group that features all of the languages listed in this section: Mystical. All
mystical languages are notoriously difficult, or perhaps even impossible, to learn and are
generally spoken by different creature types.
• Ancient: This language is spoken primarily by creatures that originate from this
plane of existance. It can sometimes be coopted by ancient civilizations as well.
• Fellspeak: This is the language of choice for evil creatures and being whose
intent generally do not align with other living creatures. It is spoken by most
youkai, as well as jaki, oni and hungry ghosts.
• Spirit: This language is not the same as the kami ability of spiritspeak, which
grants them the ability to communicate with their own kind and other creatures
they are related to. It is the universal language of spirits, who can all understand it
if not speak it.
Reading Creature Entries

Creature entries, or statblocks, are organized in a slightly different format in this book.
While it can be navigated fairly easily, it introduces new abbreviations and initialisms
that can create confusion. Each entry, its abbreviated form and definition can be found
below.
Name
The name of the creature, or the race if the creature isn't unique. The creature's descriptive
text might contain more information about its names or nicknames.
Challenge Rating (CR)

The creature's challenge rating represents how much experience it yields when slain or
defeated and is a helpful measuring tool to compare the strength of a party against the
strength of a creature. As a general rule, a party of four should find a creature with a
challenge rating equal to their level only moderately challenging, meaning that they
would incur some damage but no casualties.
Size, Type and Subtype

The creature's size category, which can provide size modifiers to traits such as Grapple
and Hide checks, and determines how large its fighting space and reach is. The creature's
type determine the kind of creature it is, its hit die size, base attack bonus, base saving
throw bonuses and skill points. A creature with a subtype belongs to an even smaller
group of creatures, which may provide the creature with additional traits.
Allegiances (AL)
The creature's allegiance, which represent who or what it is loyal to, and where on the
moral axis it lies.
Hit Points and Hit Dice (hp)

The creature's hit points are generated from the average of its hit dice, plus any bonus hit
points. A creature's hit dice is also treated as its character level to determine how effects
affect the creature, natural healing, and maximum ranks in skills.
Chakra and Reserves

The creature's chakra pool and reserves. This is often used as a fair approximation of its
relative strength. Most creatures gain half the amount of chakra a player character will,
and no chakra reserves. Notable exceptions to this are rare and heroic creatures, as
described below.
Initiative, Reputation and Speed (Init, Rep and Spd)

The creature's Initiative and Reputation bonuses, and movement Speed for all modes of
movement. The GM may decide to use the Reputation bonus as a bonus to all Knowledge
checks made involving that particular creature. In this case, if the check succeeds by a
margin equal to or lesser than the creature's Reputation bonus, it gains a +4 bonus to
Intimidate checks, and the DC of its frightening presence ability increases by 4, if any.
Defense (Def)
The creature's defense against normal and touch attacks, and when caught flat-footed
(note that some creatures cannot be caught flat-footed, which is not always reflected by
its flat-footed defense).
Damage Reduction (DR)

The creature's damage reduction, as well as all the damage types that overcome it.
Immunities (Immune)
The creature's immunities, if any. This includes immunity to conditions, damage types
and specific spells and techniques, which are italicized.
Resistances (Resist)
The creature's resistances to various energy types, if any.
Chakra Resistance (CrR)
The creature's chakra resistance, which protects it against many techniques. In many
situations, the GM may wish to combine spell resistance, power resistance and chakra
resistance under one catch-all ability.
Weaknesses
The creature's weaknesses, if it has any. Unless these are common weaknesses, they will
be detailed further in the creature's abilities.
Fortitude, Reflex and Will (Fort, Ref, Will)

The creature's saving throws. Any further bonuses will be stipulated after a semi-colon
and detailed further in the creature's abilities, if needed.
Base Attack and Grapple (Base Atk, Grp)

The creature's base attack bonus is a number derived from its hit dice and creature type,
and a creature's grapple modifier is used when a creature makes or defends against a
grapple attempt. The creature's Grapple bonus is equal to its base attack bonus, modified
by its Strength modifier and size modifier.
Attacks (Atk)
The creature's melee and ranged attacks. This section also includes any of the creature's
special attacks that require an attack roll and target a single creature. Unless otherwise
noted in the creature's entry, these abilities are used as an attack action.
Space and Reach

The creature's fighting space and reach. A creature's fighting space indicates the amount
of space it needs to fight comfortably, not necessarily its total dimensions.
Special Attacks and Special Qualities

All of the creature's special attacks and special abilities. These are always either
Extraordinary abilities, Supernatural abilities or Spell-like abilities.
Ability Scores (Str, Dex, Con, Int, Wis, Cha)

The creature's ability scores. Note that a nonexistent ability score (—) indicates the
creature doesn't have or need a certain ability score, and is not affected by ability damage
or ability drain that affects that ability score.
Skills and Feats

The creature's skills and feats. For non-unique creatures, these usually represent an
average specimen and is heavily subject to change.
Possessions
The creature's equipment, if it has any. As with skills and feats, this is subject to change
and can heavily influence the creature's challenge rating.
Habits
The creature's defining habits, which includes any environment it heavily favors, the
frequency of appearance and the numbers in which it is most often encountered. If no
environment is listed in the creature's entry, it can be found anywhere.
Advancement and Level Adjustment

The creature's advancement entry notes the creature's approximate strength when
encountered at a larger size, or the maximum strength it can reasonably be advanced to
without adding class levels or templates. A creature with a level adjustment has a race
and is expected to advance with one or more levels in character classes rather than gain
hit dice.
SECTION II: CREATURE TYPES AND SUBTYPES

Type and subtypes are at the core of what provides a creature with its identity, and
provides critical hints that can help a cunning warrior defeat even the most powerful of
foes. This section serves as an update on the way types and subtypes are presented in the
d20 Modern Core Rulebook™.
As a general rule, all creatures receive one feat plus an additional feat every 3 hit dice it
has, unless specifically noted otherwise in its type or entry. However, the creature's type
is what determines the number of skill points it has. The creature doesn't have class skills
or cross-class skills when it gains hit dice.
Lastly, subtypes are acquired or inherited types that further serve to distinguish one type
of creature from another, and sometimes even provide it with additional ability. For
instance, a technique or ability that targets elementals will target all elementals, some of
which may have subtypes, while an ability that targets spirits will target all spirits, some
of which may be elemental.

certain effects or using the Repair skill. A construct with the fast healing special quality
still benefits from the ability.

first Hit Die.

– Armor Proficiency as a bonus feat for the type of armor the elemental is wearing, if any,
and all lighter types.
– Proficiency in its natural weapons only. If generally humanoid in form, an elemental

Heroic Subtype: This subtype is usually applied to particularly powerful creatures or

Holy Subtype: A creature with this subtype has immunity to holy and sleep effects. It has
vulnerability to negative energy and takes one-half again (+50%) as much damage from
effects that deal negative energy damage.
Humanoid Type: A humanoid usually has two arms, two legs, and one head, or a
humanlike torso, arms, and a head. Humanoids have few or no supernatural or
extraordinary abilities, but most can speak and usually have well-developed societies.
They usually are Small or Medium. Every humanoid creature also has a subtype.
Humanoids with 1 Hit Die exchange the features of their humanoid Hit Die for the class
features of a PC or NPC class. Humanoids of this sort are presented as 1st-level
enforcers, which means that they have average combat ability and poor saving throws.
Humanoids with more than 1 Hit Die are the only humanoids who make use of the

first Hit Die.

Ice Subtype: A creature with this subtype has immunity to cold. It has vulnerability to
fire and takes one-half again (+50%) as much damage from effects that deal fire damage.
Immortal Subtype: The creature is immortal and cannot be killed, regardless of how
mangled its body is. It does not naturally regrow limbs, but severed limbs, even the head,
can be reattached within 1d4 hours and mend, or be sewn back. If the immortal has the
ability to remain conscious below 0 hit points, it can still act normally. If its head is
severed, it remains conscious but does not retain the use of its body.
Typically, the immortal can never die, no matter how badly damaged its body is.
However, some means may exist to permanently kill the immortal, specified in the
creature's entry. Those means usually entail the removal of the immortal's soul and
complete and permanent destruction of its body, such as with the Kamui technique.
Kaijuu Subtype: This subtype is applied to certain Huge or larger animals, dragons,
magical beasts and vermin. Many kaijuu possess one or more of the following traits:
— Damage Reduction 10/chakra

— Immunity to ability damage, ability drain, disease, energy drain, poison, stunning, as
well as death and fear effects
— Fast Healing 10
— Darkvision out to 60 feet
— Chakra Potency (Su): The kaijuu gains full chakra but no reserves as though it had
the Rare subtype. As long as it has at least half its chakra pool remaining, it gains a +4
deflection bonus to Defense.
— Fear Aura (Su): Any creature that begins its turn within 30 feet of the kaijuu must
make a Will save DC 10+1/2 the kaijuu's hit dice+the kaijuu's Cha modifier or be shaken
for 1d6 rounds.
— Kaijuu Blast (Su): The kaijuu can produce a kaijuu blast every 1d6 rounds as a
standard action. The blast deals 1d6 points of energy damage every 2 hit dice the kaijuu
has, halved on a Reflex save DC 10+1/2 the kaijuu's hit dice+the kaijuu's Con modifier.
The kaijuu blast deals damage either in a 60-ft. cone-shaped burst, a 120-ft. long line, or a
30-ft.-radius burst within 240 feet. The blast costs the kaijuu 1 chakra per damage die.
The energy type and area of the kaijuu blast is determined when the kaijuu gains the
ability. A kaijuu is immune to its own kaijuu blast.
— Hardy (Ex): The kaijuu remains conscious below 0 hit points and continues to act
normally until slain.
— Mutated (Ex): The kaijuu's morphology is drastically different and it gains at least
two of the following mutations:
Fast: The kaijuu's speed across all modes of movement doubles.
Hands: The kaijuu has any two limbs that end in hands with opposable thumbs, allowing
it to manipulate objects and wield weapons.
Natural Armor: The kaijuu's natural armor bonus increases by 5. The kaijuu can gain this
mutation twice.
Natural Attacks: The kaijuu gains one additional primary natural attack or two secondary
natural attacks. Primary attacks include slam, bite, talon, claw, and gore. Secondary
attacks include tail slaps, wings, and tentacles. The kaijuu can gain this mutation twice.
Size Primary Secondary
Huge 1d8 1d6
Gargantuan 2d6 1d8
Colossal 2d8 2d6
Colossal+ 4d6 2d8

into a pin when the soulstone is exposed).

SECTION III: NEW CREATURES
In this section, you will find 79 new monsters, each one at least partially inspired by myth
and folklore, usually but not necessarily Japanese. While these creatures are meant to be
used with the Naruto d20: Scrolls of Knowledge rules, they are also compatible with d20
Modern and Dungeons and Dragons 3rd Edition with only minimal adjustments. They
can also be modified with new or existing templates found in a later section, character
class levels or the new NPC classes found in Section IX: Indexes.
These creatures are meant to supplement a campaign world rather than create it entirely,
and some pruning is encouraged. In other words, while it is possible for all the monsters
listed in this section to coexist with each other and as well as sentient, non-monstrous
races, this isn't always the best direction to take in a given campaign. As such, what does
and doesn't exist is ultimately left at the GM's discretion!
Several creature entries are laid out as groups that contain one or more monsters that fall
under the same banner. This is done to keep the section in a sensible monster and limit
the amount of page turning necessary to referrence closely-related monsters. Lastly, some
monsters have an additional subheading listing a variation on the monster that alters its
stats, but not in a significant-enough manner to warrant its own entry.
Animals and Vermins

This entry provides statistics and information for animals, but also for their giant
counterpart. While not entirely common, giant animal and giant vermin are not unheard
of in many settings and can provide a good challenge when pitted against heroes at any
level.
Any animal or vermin of Huge size or larger can gain the kaijuu subtype when advanced
beyond its starting hit dice, or when advanced to Huge size or larger, at the GM's
discretion. Particularly powerful specimens may even gain one or several of the kaijuu
subtype's bonus traits, at the GM's discretion.

Animated Objects
No one really knows why objects sometimes appear to have a mind of their own, though
many believe that this phenomenon is caused by the presence of a conceal youkai.
While animated objects are youkai, they share few of the same traits; additionally, unlike
other youkai, an animated object does not disappear when it is killed, although any trace
that it was ever animated will be gone.
Combat
Animated objects lie still and appear perfectly ordinary until an unaware prey draws near,
and it strikes using the element of surprise.
Bad Luck (Su): An animated mirror projects a wave of bad luck when it is killed and
shatters into a thousand small pieces. Any creature within 50 feet of an animated mirror
the moment it dies suffers a –1 luck penalty to attack and weapon damage rolls, saving
throws, skill checks and ability checks for 24 hours. This penalty is not cumulative for
multiple animated mirrors.
Constrict (Ex): An animated scarf deals 1d4+3 points of damage with a successful
grapple check against a creature up to one size larger than itself.
Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, an animated scarf must hit with a slam attack.
It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of
opportunity.
Lacerations (Ex): Any living creature that takes damage from an animated kunai swarm
continues to bleed and loses 1 hit point per round afterwards. Multiple lacerations do not
stack. The bleeding can be stopped with a Treat Injury check (DC 15) or any effect that
restores at least 1 hit point.
Reflection (Su): Any creature that sees its reflection in an animated mirror must make a
Will save (DC 13) or have its soul trapped inside the mirror, leaving its body in a death-
like state similar to a coma. A creature who successfully saves against this effect is
immune to that all reflection abilities for 24 hours.
Any soul trapped inside the mirror is lost if the mirror is destroyed. Instead, to free
trapped souls, the mirror must be covered by an opaque fabric (the mirror will count as
blind and entangled, and can attempt to free itself with an Escape Artist check (DC 20) as
a full-round action) and be targeted by Hijutsu: Chakra Hankai no Jutsu or a similar
disruption effect (Disruption check DC 25). Successfully completing this process releases
any soul captured inside the mirror and causes any creature whose body is still alive that
had been affected by this ability to wake up 1d4 minutes later with no memory of the
event.
Trample (Ex): An animated katana can trample opponents in its path by moving twice its
speed, dealing 1d10+6 points of slashing damage. Opponents can take an attack of
opportunity at a –4 penalty or make a Reflex save to take half damage (DC 16). The save
DC is Strength-based.
Skills: All animated objects have a +4 racial bonus to Hide and Move Silently.

Blazewort
This massive flower has frenzied whipping vines and a fire at the its heart.

hits two or more times with its vines in a single round. This attempt does not provoke an
attack of opportunity.

Ebisu
This massive white whale floats impossibly among the clouds, sending them scattering in
a swirling mass in its wake.
Ebisu are enormous flying whales, peaceful creatures often seen as omens of good fortune
because they usually bring with them kind weather and scare away smaller predators and
monsters. Because of their massive size, it takes a great deal of effort to threaten an ebisu,
not to mention that they are far from helpless when pressed into battle.
An ebisu is about 120 feet long and weighs about 120 tons.
Combat
The ebisu are slow and peaceful creatures, and have very few predators due to their sheer
size. They can sometimes be seen flying languidly among the clouds and will usually fly
away rather than allow themselves to be pressed into a fight.
Control Weather (Su): The weather in an area immediately around an ebisu is directly
affected by the ebisu's mood. When the ebisu is calm, the weather is gentle with light
winds, comfortable temperature and occasionally a light rain. When the ebisu is
frightened or threatened, the area soon whips up into a powerful storm with strong wind,
sometimes even lightning or tornadoes, at the GM's discretion. The area affected extends
out to a 1 mile radius around the ebisu, and changes happen in as little time as 1d4+1
rounds.
Crush (Ex): An ebisu can land on its foes as an attack action, dealing bludgeoning
damage to creatures three size categories smaller than the ebisu (Large or smaller for the
typical ebisu). Affected creatures suffer damage equal to the ebisu's tail slap, halved on a
successful Reflex save (DC 34). The save DC is Constitution-based.
Howling Gust (Su): An ebisu is always surrounded by a powerful swirl of wind that
causes ranged attacks targetting the ebisu to have a 50% miss chance.
Hurricane Swipe (Ex): An ebisu can create hurricane-force winds with a simple swipe
of its tail, sending out a powerful gust of wind in a 50-feet-wide, 300-feet-long line. This
wind carries such force that it deals 10d10 points of damage to structures and forces
creatures caught in the effect to make a Fortitude save (DC 34) against the force of the
wind. Colossal or larger creatures are checked on a failed save and cannot move forward,
while Gargantuan or smaller creatures are knocked back on a failed save. A Gargantuan
creature is knocked back 1d4x5 feet, a Large or Huge creature is knocked back 2d4x5
feet, and a Medium-sized or smaller creature is knocked back 3d4x5 feet. Furthermore,
Medium-sized or smaller creatures are checked even on a successful save.
The ebisu can also angle this attack downwards, creating a downdraft in a 25-ft. radius,
300-ft. high cylinder. Creatures who would be knocked back are knocked prone instead,
and creatures who would be checked have their movement speed reduced to 0 for one
round. The save DC is Constitution-based.
Improved Grab (Ex): An ebisu can make a free Grapple attempt without provoking an
attack of opportunity when it hits a creature with its bite attack.
Massive Strikes (Ex): An ebisu's natural attacks target all creatures in a 20-foot square.
Swallow Whole (Ex): An ebisu can attempt to swallow a creature it has successfully
Grappled, provided it is Huge or smaller. The ebisu makes a Grapple check and swallows
the creature whole if it succeeds. Once inside the ebisu's enormous gullet, a creature is
trapped until the ebisu releases it or it cuts its way out. A swallowed creature suffers 2d6
points of damage per round, but the ebisu is so massive that only Huge creatures are
crushed by the ebisu, dealing an additional 6d6+17 points of bludgeoning damage each
round.
A swallowed creature can try to cut its way out using a slashing or piercing weapon by
dealing 50 points of damage to the episu's digestive track (Defense 26). Once a creature
escapes, a muscular action closes the hole; another swallowed opponent must cut its own
way out.
An ebisu's gullet can hold 2 Huge, 8 Large, 32 Medium, 128 Small or 512 Tiny or smaller
creatures.
Uplift (Su): An ebisu creates a space round itself that allows other flying creatures to
move quicker. Any creature with a fly speed within 60 feet of an ebisu has its fly speed
increase to 60 feet, if it was slower.

Face Stealer
The size of a grown man, this tall, wiry humanoid wears the tattered remnants of a
kimono and four sheathed swords at its belt. It has skin the color of coal, four long,
spindly arms and a curiously large head that is polished and round, completely
featureless save for a large fanged mouth curled in a cruel grin.
A face stealer is a deadly trickster, a mischievous assassin. Though they are capable
hunters, the face stealers are very whimsical and lack good judgement and common
sense; this, more often than anything else, is what leads a face stealer to its doom.
Though they are feared and disliked by most who encounter them, dogs are particularly
zealous with their dislike because a face stealer has absolutely no scent at all.
The few face stealers who overcome their natural inclinations can make very dangerous
foes. Many realize their natural talents and make extremely capable assassins and
bodyguards.
A face stealer stands about 6 feet tall and weighs about 120 pounds.
Combat
The face stealer likes to trick and lure travelers to their doom using its limited
shapeshifting abilities in order to end the fight before it can truly begin. Though by no
means helpless, a face stealer measures success by how quickly it can ambush and kill its
prey. A face stealer's natural attacks count as chakra-enhanced for the purpose of
overcoming damage reduction.
Change Shape (Su): The face stealer has a limited ability to change its shape; it can take
on the face, hair and features of any Small, Medium or Large Humanoid, Giant or
Monstrous Humanoid it has killed.
Frightful Presence (Su): The face stealer can inspire terror by attacking. Affected
creatures must succeed a Will save (DC 15) or be shaken for 1d6 rounds or as long as
they remain within 30 feet of the face stealer. The save DC is Charisma-based.
Spell-like Abilities: At will–kuchijouzu no jutsu (DC 13); 1/day–hasamiuchi (DC 17),
hikiro renken (all four katana). Character level 9th.
Traceless (Su): A face stealer has no scent and cannot be detected by sense of smell.
Skills: When using the change shape ability, a face stealer gains a +5 circumstance bonus
on Disguise checks.

Flesh Ripper
This nightmarish creature stands on two short legs that end in sharp claws and is little
more than a sphere of black flesh adorned with a pair of nostrils and an unnaturally
wide mouth filled with rows of large, sharp teeth. Despite having no eyes, it seems to
have no trouble locating you.
A flesh ripper is a strange bipedal creature, small in stature but with a very large temper.
They have a ravenous hunger for flesh and make fearsome hunters, a fact that have lead
many other creatures and particularly brave individuals to tame them and use them as
hunting hounds. A group of flesh rippers is called a nightmare.
A flesh ripper stands a bit over 3 feet tall and weighs about 35 pounds. A flesh ripper can
be trained like an animal, but the Handle Animal check DC increases by 10.
Combat
A flesh ripper is a fearsome opponent on its own, due to its ability to use its powerful
jaws to latch onto its prey and never let go, but moreso because it likes to hunt in packs,
exhausting and picking at its prey to wear it down.
Attach (Ex): The flesh ripper can attach itself to an opponent it hits with a bite attack and
latch onto its foes with its powerful jaw. The opponent must be larger than the flesh
ripper or no more than one size category smaller.
An attached flesh ripper loses its Dexterity bonus to Defense and has Defense 14. It can
be struck with a weapon or grappled itself; to remove a flesh ripper through grappling, the
opponent must achieve a pin to do so.
Ravage (Ex): Each round a flesh ripper is attached, it automatically deals damage equal
to its bite attack, 2d4+3.
Skills: A flesh ripper gains a +4 racial bonus to Jump checks and a +4 racial bonus to
Survival checks when tracking a creature by scent.

Hungry Ghosts
The hungry ghosts are said to be the spirits of those who were greedy and insidious in
life, cursed to wander the living world, all compelled to feast with ravenous hunger for a
particular, repugnant substance, usually corpses, carrion or feces.
Unlike other outsiders, the hungry ghosts have a poor Will save. Hungry ghosts speak
Fellspeak and Common or a preferred local language.
Gaki
This humanoid is about the height of a human child. It has greasy purple skin covered in
tufts of mangy hair, beady black eyes that glisten with malice and greed, and wears
nothing but a loincloth.
A gaki is a small creature, cowardly and vicious by nature. Though not entirely
defenseless, they are weak-willed and prone to being bullied, a well-known fact which
many take advantage of.
Gaki are driven by a need to feed, but their hungers deviate significantly from the norm.
In spite of themselves, a gaki feels perverse pleasure in consuming the remnants of life; it
will eat feces, food consumed by rot and even—or rather, especially—dead flesh and
carrion.
A gaki stands about 3 to 4 feet tall and weighs about 30 to 45 pounds.
Combat
A gaki us usually aware of its inadequacies, being frequently reminded by bigger and
stronger creatures. As such, it knows that it must make use of any advantage it can:
numbers and voracious ferocity.
The gaki have a tenuous grasp of strategy at the best of times, and will often flee when
wounded or if the tide of the battle turns against them. With proper incentive, however,
they can be motivated to form more complex plans and operate as a unit.
Skills: The gaki gains a +2 racial bonus to Hide, Move Silently and Search checks.

This creature is about the size of an adult human, with dark red or brown skin. Though it
stands on two legs like humans, it is anything but. Completely hairless, powerfully built,
and with a face well-suited for hatred and anger, it walks on its digits like an animal and
stares with eyes completely black.
Jikininki are a more powerful kind of hungry ghost; legends claim they are the spirit of
the greedy, of murderers and rapists. They are nocturnal creatures and scavenge for dead
or rotting flesh or, failing that, a fresh kill. Blood is a release for jikininki, a way to
escape the shame that drives them to hide in the night, and they favor live, intelligent prey
who will scream and beg.
Jikininki are about 6 and a half feet tall, and weigh about 250 pounds.
Combat
Unlike a gaki, the jikininki is a powerful creature and dangerous on its own. Though it
usually prefers to have the advantage of numbers, jikininki have no qualms about
attacking on their own. It uses its keen sense of smell to find and ambush its prey and
rarely leaves anyone alive to tell the tale.

Imperial Hound
This massive hound has striking blue eyes and gleaming white teeth, and a bark that sets
teeth rattling.
Supposedly descended from the legendary komainu, these hounds are fiercely loyal
creatures whose entire lives are dedicated to defending the weak and serving a cause.
Imperial hounds are very long-lived, and often outlive their human masters.
Imperial hounds have brown, grey, black or white fur. They are about five feet long and
weigh up to 300 pounds. They understand all languages, but cannot speak.
Combat
An imperial hound's bite counts as though it has a superior mystical weapon seal placed
upon it and overcomes chakra damage reduction. This bonus does not count if the fangs
are removed from the imperial hound's body.
Bark (Su): An imperial hound can bark like most dogs, but it can also Bark, capital B.
An imperial hound's bark is a thing of legend, capable of being heard from and waking up
sleeping creatures up to 5 miles away. In addition, an imperial hound's bark automatically
wakes up unconscious creatures within 50 feet.
In addition, all allies within 50 feet of a barking imperial hound gain a +1 luck bonus to
attack and weapon damage rolls, saves and skill checks, while its foes take a –1 penalty
on all such rolls, for 5 rounds. An imperial hound can bark once per round as a full-round
action.
Spectral Bite (Su): An imperial hound's bite can hit and deal damage normally to
incorporeal creatures (an incorporeal creature's ability to avoid damage from physical
attacks does not apply to the spectral bite).
Spiritual Scent (Su): This ability functions like the scent ability and allows an imperial
hound to detect approaching creatures, sniff out hidden foes and track by sense of smell,
but also allows it to smell incorporeal creatures as well as smell hostile intent. The
hostility does not have to be directed at the imperial hound; this ability detects active
aggression but not vigilance. An imperial hound is never caught flat-footed by a creature
it can detect with its spiritual scent ability.
Skills: An imperial hound gains a +4 racial bonus to Jump checks. *In addition, imperial
hounds gain a +4 bonus to Survival checks made when tracking by sense of smell.

Jaki
This creature looks almost human with its harsh features, tall and thickly muscled. Its
face is marked by a strong brow and a set of tusks that jut out of its jaw, its posture
hunches slightly and its forearms, chest and back are covered with patches of thick fur.
Jaki are distant cousins of the oni, and they share many of the same habits. They are
warriors, raiders and pillagers by nature, and their societies often reflect this: the ruler
amongst the Jaki is often their strongest warrior. They generally establish themselves in
tribes and clans.
Jaki have colorful skin usually in red, blue or purple hues, and white, black or grey hair
and fur. It has slightly pointed ears and strong features that give the jaki a feral
appearance. Jaki do not care about appearances and dress for function, typically wearing
armor or drab colors like black, brown or grey.
When not fighting other creatures or amongst themselves, jaki will usually occupy their
time by pillaging, causing mayhem or honing their martial skills. Very few jaki train as
ninja, though they exist in small clans. A universal trait that all jaki share, much like their
cousin the Oni, is a instinctive aversion for shrines, temples and holy grounds, and they
will normally stay away from them.
An adult male jaki stands about 6 feet tall and weighs a bit over 200 pounds, while
females are only slightly smaller. Jaki speak Fellspeak, but some know Common as well.
Combat
Because of their warrior tendencies, jaki are proficient in most weapons and armor, and
many take advantage of that fact. Though a preferred weapon is the large katana, they
show as much diversity as humans in their ability to use and master a great number of
weapons. Jaki are almost always spoiling for a fight, preferring to create traps and
ambushes, and will obey rules of war, truces and codes of honor only when it is
convenient. A jaki will normally always avoid fighting near shrines, temples or holy
grounds because of their aversion for them. When pushed, however, their first instinct
after victory is often to desecrate and destroy the source of their fear.
Aversion (Ex): A jaki suffers a –1 penalty to attack rolls and skill checks when in the
presence of a shrine, temple or holy ground.

Kama-Itachi
This jittery, curious creature has blond fur and could easily be mistaken for a large
weasel, were it not for its long, scythelike claws.
Kama-itachi are mischievous spirits who enjoy playing pranks on lone travelers,
sometimes as harmless as opening bleeding gashes on their exposed arms and legs then
closing them up without ever being seen. Other times, a kama-itachi's pranks are not so
harmless and leave mangled corpses drained of blood behind. Some stories say that
kama-itachi travel in packs of three to cause the most mischief, though this is purely
conjecture and remains uncomfirmed.
A kama-itachi is about 3 feet long and weighs about 35 pounds.

Combat
Whether alone or in a group of three, a kama-itachi is a vicious foe that never relents; it
begins combat by picking its target, and almost nothing can make it set its sights on
another until its target is unconscious or dead. Its favorite tactic, especially in a group, is
to conceal itself and transform into a swarm of sickling blades to wound an enemy then
return to its natural form to momentarily cripple its target. How this ends depends largely
on the kama-itachi's mood: if it is feeling mischievous, it will heal the wounds of its
target and move on; if the kama-itachi is in a bad mood, however, it will drain the target
of its blood to cause the most damage.
Alternate Form (Su): A kama-itachi can shift between its natural form and a swarm of
sickling blades (treat as an animated kunai swarm) as an attack action. A kama-itachi
cannot fly in its natural form, but it can make physical attacks and use its supernatural
abilities. In its swarm form, it gains swarm traits, a swarm attack, a distraction ability, and
a fly speed, but cannot use its other supernatural abilities or make physical attacks.
A kama-itachi remains in this form until it assumes a new one or falls unconscious or is
killed.
Cripple (Su): A kama-itachi in its natural form gains this ability. Once per round when it
hits a bleeding opponent with its claw attack, it can attempt to slow that enemy. The
target must make a Fortitude save (DC 14) or take a –1 penalty to Defense and Reflex
saves and only be able to take a move or attack action on its turn for 1 round. The save
DC is Charisma-based.
Lacerations (Ex): A kama-itachi in its swarm form gains this ability, as an animated
kunai swarm. Any living creature that takes damage from a kama-itachi in its swarm form
continues to bleed and loses 1 hit point per round afterwards. Multiple lacerations do not
stack. The bleeding can be stopped with a Treat Injury check (DC 15) or any effect that
restores at least 1 hit point.
Spell-like Abilities: At will–gisou no jutsu; 3/day–iryou ninjutsu: chiyu - shodan jutsu
(2d4+5, burst only). Character level 6th.
Worsen (Su): A kama-itachi in its natural form gains this ability. The kama-itachi can
make a touch attack against any bleeding or wounded opponent to stop the bleeding and
alleviate the pain. The kama-itachi can choose to do so gently and without negative
effects, or by sucking out the blood, forcing the target to make a Fortittude save (DC 14)
or take 1d4 points of Constitution drain. The save DC is Charisma-based.

Kappa
Short and stocky, this reptilian humanoid is only about the size of a child. Its back is
covered by a hard shell, its mouth is a sharp beak and its hands end in wicked claws.
A kappa is a mischievous water creatures, pranksters by nature and tricksters by choice.

They delight in the discomfort of others and in causing chaos and mayhem wherever they
go.
Though they are generally harmless, kappa can also be very temperamental and
sometimes also very violent, migrating from harmless pranks to drowning people and
animals, kidnapping and eating children, and raping women. However, these instances
are rare and most kappa are very polite, almost to the point of being obsessive;
disrespectful behavior is usually taken as a sure way of angering a kappa.
Kappa are also well-known for their hatred of animals, particularly horses and cattle, and
a known sign that one or more kappa roams nearby is the mutilated carcass of animals left
out in the open as a warning for others to stay away.
A kappa stands about 3 and a half feet tall and weighs about 75 pounds.
Combat
Kappa are usually content with playing pranks and causing mischief, relishing in the
chaos they leave in their wake, but can sometimes be vicious and vindictive. Their vanity
can be appealed to with compliments and gifts when slighted, but a kappa who is angry,
hungry or simply in a bad mood will usually attack without remorse, using its sharp claws
and powerful body to drag foes underwater and drown them.
Head Bowl (Su): A kappa has a natural receptacle on top of its head that is filled with
water; that water is the source of its power. The water inside does not spill from normal
movement, or even during combat or when the kappa is tripped, but a creature that
engages the kappa in a grapple and wins an opposed Grapple check can empty the bowl.
This gives the kappa a –8 penalty to its Strength score and a –4 penalty to all other ability
scores until the receptacle is again filled with water. This tactic is ineffective underwater.
Improved Grab (Ex): A kappa can make a free Grapple attempt against any creature it
hits with a bite attack. This attempt does not provoke an attack of opportunity.
Soulstone (Su): A kappa's soulstone, when it is exposed, is inside its head bowl.
Spiritspeak (Su): Kappa can speak with their own kind as well as all aquatic animals
that dwell in fresh water.
Skills: A kappa gains a +8 racial bonus to Swim checks.

Kazame
The kazame is a larger, stronger cousin of the kappa with somewhat different
characteristics and habits. Rather than depending on water survive, the kazame is
empowered by it. A kazame is a malicious, violent creature not content with playing mere
pranks on travelers; it is often so tenacious and intent on terrorizing a region that the only
way to truly be rid of it is to kill it.
Although both reptilian, where the kappa resembles more a turtle, the kazame is almost
shark-like in appearance. Its head is flat and ends in a long snout marked by a wide,
toothy mouth.
A kazame stands roughly 6 feet tall and weighs about 250 pounds.
Combat
A kazame relishes in causing fear and mayhem, and generally impossible to reason with
for all but the most persuasive (or intimidating!) negociators. Though they much prefer to
attack where there is a large enough body of water to soak in nearby, they have been
known to seek out their prey in almost any environment before, either out of hunger or
simply boredom.
Lunge (Ex): A kazame can charge a foe while swimming and make a full attack.
Soulstone (Su): A kazame's soulstone, when it is exposed, is at the center of its torso.
Water Magic (Su): The kazame gains a +4 enhancement bonus to Strength, Dexterity

gains a chakra resistance 20 against any water-based effect and techniques with the water

Kijin
This hulking humanoid creatures has dark red skin, curling horns, and claws and fangs
that drip with acid. Its glowing green eyes scan the darkness, waiting.
Kijin have long been thought to be the origin of demonic arts among mortals. They are a
mysterious lot who like to plot, scheme and manipulate events from the shadows, towards
designs only fools would guess at.
A kijin stands about 6 feet tall and weighs about 200 pounds.
Combat
Though they are sneaky and often hard to pin down, kijin have a very direct approach to
combat and revel in displays of violence and gore. With its great physical prowess and
deadly demonic abilities, it will seek to inflict as much damage as possible, often at risk
of personal safety.
Dark Gift (Su): A kijin can bestow upon one willing creature a dark gift. This grants the
creature strength rank 2, speed rank 2 or a +2 resistance bonus on Will saves. As long as
the creature has the gift, the kijin will know its exact location over any distance, even
across spirit planes. When within 30 feet of the recipient of its gift, the kijin can transfer
up to 5 points of chakra to the recipient three times per day as an attack action. The kijin
can end its gift as a free action at any time, causing the recipient to become stunned for
1d4 rounds and shaken for 24 hours.
Deadly Bite (Ex): A kijin's bite attack always deals 1.5 times its Strength bonus to
damage.
Demonic Chakra (Su): A kijin's chakra is vile and toxic in nature. Any creature draining
chakra from a kijin that doesn't have the demonic subtype suffers 2 points of damage per
chakra drained. This damage is also incurred when transferring chakra to the recipient of
its dark gift.
Dripping Acid (Su): A kijin's fangs and claws are coated in a vicious acid that deals 1d6
points of acid damage on successful hits.

Kiseikuji
This creature resembles a large pink slug or worm and appears covered in a transparent,
slimy secretion and short, squirming tentacles. It has no features other than a circular
mouth filed with rows upon rows of fangs.
The kiseikuji is a parasite borne from the darkest nightmares, a repulsive creature
resembling a fat slug covered in slime and short, squirming, tentacly appendages. Its hide
is an uncomfortable shade of pink, but perhaps its most disturbing feature is the circular,
spasming sphincter-like orifice filled with rows of sharp teeth it uses as a mouth.
In partly because of its appearance, the kiseikuji is shunned by all, from the most
righteous to the to the most corrupt. For the most part, however, this is due to the its
methods; kiseikuji have the unique ability to burrow inside its victims to possess them
and induce a pregnancy-like state with a very short gestation period, at which point it will
give birth to itself, killing the host in the process and beginning the cycle anew. Because
of this, kiseikuji prey almost exclusively on females, studying them for weeks before
finally making their move.
During this possession, kiseikuji will use the host's body to commit every conceivable
atrocity as covertly as it can, being careful to disappear before the birthing so as to remain
inconspicuous, and leaving behind the carcass of its host a mangled and empty husk.
A kiseikuji is about 4 feet long and weighs about 100 pounds. Kiseikuji speak Ancient,
Common and Fellspeak.
Combat
Kiseikuji are blind, but their supernatural senses make it so that they have no trouble
finding prey. Unless for some reason desperate, it will always attack a sleeping or
otherwise helpless creature, first using its poison to paralyze it then possessing it. When
possessing a creature, however, its behavior will change radically and it will attack
without any provocation and use its mystical powers to cause the most pain and dead.
Betrayal (Sp): A kiseikuji possessing a creature can use this ability at will. It functions as
Shinranshin no Jutsu, and allows the kiseikuji to take control of its victim's body as long
as it remains within line of sight unless it succeeds a Will save (DC 20). This counts as a
rank 7 technique.
Invasive Possession (Su): A kiseikuji can invade the body of any helpless female
humanoid or monstrous humanoid of Small or Medium size, effectively burrowing inside
and possessing the victim's body as well as impregnating it with itself. The possession
functions normally, but the kiseikuji will confer to the host its natural armor bonus to
Defense, immunities, fast regeneration, spell-like abilities and the ability to see in
darkness, as well as any template it has. Likewise, the host's chakra signature will change
to match the kiseikuji's, but will show no other physical sign.
The gestation period of this pregnancy is extremely quick, and the host will come to full
term in 2d6+2 days, at which point it will give birth to the kiseikuji; this is a lengthy and
painful process for both the host and the kiseikuji. The birthing takes 2d6 hours, during
which the host and the kiseikuji will be nauseated by wracking pains, and after which the
host will die (no save). Birthing destroys the body beyond repair, eliminating any chance
that the body can be resuscitated or resurrected.
The only way to remove the kiseikuji without killing the host is through surgery, a
process which is further complicated by the strong resistance the kiseikuji will offer,
imposing a –10 penalty to Treat Injury checks made to remove the kiseikuji (–20 penalty
during the birthing). This process causes the kiseikuji become nauseated for 1d4 rounds
afterwards and to gain 1d4+1 negative levels, which it loses automatically at the rate of 1
negative level per day. Likewise, if the host is slain while the kiseikuji is still possessing
it, the kiseikuji will extirp itself from the corpse in 1d4 rounds, become nauseated and
gain aforementioned negative levels.
A host that survives the removal of the invading kiseikuji remembers everything it did
while possessing her body and suffer 1 point of Wisdom and Charisma drain for every
day the kiseikuji's possession lasted.
Poison (Ex): A kiseikuji injects poison into its victim when it hits with a bite attack. The
poison has a Fortitude save DC 14, and causes paralysis for 1d3 rounds as initial damage
but has no secondary damage. The save DC is Constitution-based.

Kyoryujin
This hulking reptilian humanoid is covered in thick rainbow scales. It stands on its digits
and has a face marked with a short snout.
Kyoryujin are ancient and powerful creatures who have lived in seclusion long before
written accounts have existed. They are a deeply spiritual race of beings who take care
not to greatly disturb their environments and take no more than what they need.
Because kyoryujin rarely keep written accounts of their own history, not even they know
their own past in great detail. The average kyoryujin lives to be two hundred years old,
and speaks Ancient.
Kyoryujin stand about 9 feet tall and weigh 500 pounds.
Combat
Kyoryujin are patient hunters, luring their prey with sounds of animals in distres before
striking, either with deadly sonic attacks or the kyoryujin’s favored weapon, a huge stone
hammer.
Cold-Blooded (Ex): Kyoryujin are cold-blooded creatures and fare poorly in cold
weathers, suffering a -2 penalty on all saves against cold effects and cold weather.
Dull Hearing (Ex): As a general rule, kyoryujin hearing is notoriously poor. Kyoryujin
suffer a -4 penalty to Listen checks and double the penalty for distance.
Sonic Screech (Su): Once every 1d6 rounds but no more than three times per day, a
kyoryujin can produce a screech so phenomenally loud it can rend flesh and shatter stone.
The sonic screech deals 3d6 points of sonic damage in a 15-foot-long cone-shaped burst,
halved on a successful Fortitude save (DC 14). The save DC is Constitution-based.
Sound Mimicry (Ex): The kyoryujin has an incredible vocal range that allows it to
produce a huge variety of sounds both in and outside the human hearing range. A
kyoryujin can mimic virtually any sound or voice by making a Bluff checks opposed to
the Sense Motive of anyone who can hear that sound. If the check succeeds, the listener is
none the wiser to the deception. The kyoryujin must have listened to someone speak for
at least 10 minutes to mimic its voice, and it cannot use this ability to speak or understand
a language it doesn’t know.
Skills: A kyoryujin gains a +4 racial bonus on Perform (sing) checks and Survival checks
when tracking by scent. It also gains a +8 racial bonus on Bluff checks made to mimic
sounds and voices.

Land Shark
This creature has tough, leathery hide and strongly resembles a shark, down to the fin
carving a furrow through dirt as it circles its prey.
Land sharks are vicious creatures of uncertain origins, possessed of a voracious hunger
and little to no instinct of self-preservation. They have been known to defy the odds and
rush massively superior numbers in the hopes for a quick meal, or sometimes even the
thrill of the hunt.
A land shark is about 7 feet long and weighs 300 pounds.
Combat
A land shark prefers to whittle down its foes with hit and run tactics, weakening it and
tracking it as it flees before going in for the kill at last.
Burrow (Ex): A land shark can burrow through dirt, mud, sand or soil as easily as a fish
swims through water, and only leaves behind narrow tunnels if it wishes. A Huge land
shark can burrow through stone.
Keen Scent (Ex): Land sharks can smell blood spilled on or in dirt, soil, sand or stone
within 1 mile as though with the scent ability. This ability is not affected by wind
direction or strength.

Miage-Nyudo
Though at first appearing perfectly harmless and innocent, there is something sinister in
the smiling old man's eyes, and the monstrous, hulking shadow that spreads out behind
him.
A miage-nyudo is a predator of another sort. Rather than hunt its prey, it prefers to lure it
in using its shapeshifting abilities to appear as a kindly old storyteller, or roadside peddler
to lull its victims into a sense of false security, and unleashes upon them untold horrors.
A miage-nyudo feeds upon fear, and grows stronger and larger the more it feeds; its true
form, a thing so fearsome and so horrible that it is immediately suppressed from memory,
incites such terror from the unlucky souls that gaze upon it that it never goes hungry.
Because a miage-nyudo cannot conceal its huge, hulking shadow no matter the shape it
takes, it rarely hunts by daytime; as such, there are few signs, if any at all, that helps spot
a disguised miage-nyudo.
A miage-nyudo's true form is massive, shadowy and vaguely humanoid, impossible to

describe, because it is impossible to remember.
Combat
A miage-nyudo is a dangerous foe before even reverting to its true form; it has near-
magical powers that let it enthrall the mind, turn friends against one another and prey on
its victim's worst fears. To make matters worse, it can, and often will, pull unwitting
victims into a fascinated trance that will invariably result in death with a mere look; but
by far the miage-nyudo's most frightening ability is the power to smell and feed on fear to
grow exponentially stronger, faster and tougher the longer it remains in the presence of
fearful prey.
Change Shape (Su): A miage-nyudo can assume the form of any Small or Medium
humanoid. This ability does not alter a miage-nyudo's shadow, which retains its natural
shape.
A miage-nyudo's true shape is a nightmare-inducing form that soon fades from memory,
becoming only a blurry shape fangs and claws and horror that, when recalled, invokes
fresh feelings of terror.
Deadly Gaze (Su): A miage-nyudo can lock an unwitting creature with its gaze and
slowly lull it to its doom. As an attack action, a miage-nyudo can fascinate a creature
within 30 feet with a look. The target must make a Will save (DC 19) or be fascinated for
1 round. A target that is fascinated for 3 rounds in a row is immediately slain. The save
DC is Charisma-based.
Frightful Presence (Su): A miage-nyudo inspires terror in opponents that see its true
form, and by attacking. Affected creatures must succeed a Will save (DC 23) or be
shaken for 5d6 rounds. The save DC is Charisma-based and includes a +4 racial bonus.
Noxious Presence (Su): A creature spends any time in proximity of a miage-nyudo, even
without seeing its true form, will be visited by horrible, haunting nightmares for 1 week.
Each time the creature sleeps, it has a 25% chance to be fatigued when it wakes up, or a
50% chance if it saw the miage-nyudo's true form.
Phobophage (Su): When a miage-nyudo is within 50 feet of a creature who is shaken,
frightened or panicked by a fear effect or a miage-nyudo's frightful presence ability, it
gains a +8 bonus to Strength, a +4 bonus to Constituion, a +3 natural armor bonus to
Defense, and its movement speed increases by 10 feet for 1 minute.
Each round a miage-nyudo remains in the presence of a scared creature, those bonuses
increase by +2 to Strength, +2 to Constitution, +1 to natural armor, +1 to chakra
resistance, and +5 feet movement speed, and the duration of the effect is refreshed. If 5 or
more such creatures are present and within range at the same time, the effect lasts for 1
hour instead. This effect cannot occur more than 11 times; each time afterwards simply
refreshes the duration but grants no additional benefits.
Smell Fear (Su): A miage-nyudo can detect and pinpoint the location of any creature
who is shaken, frightened or panicked by a fear effect within 300 feet as though with the
scent extraordinary ability. The smell of fear cannot be concealed by ability that hide a
creature's scent.

Obsidian Shard
What at first appeared to be a large boulder stands at twelve feet high, a vaguely-human
shaped creature of living volcanic glass with two gleaming yellow gems for eyes.
Obsidian shards typically live deep beneath the surface near lava flows or active
volcanoes. They prefer very hot and arid environments, though can survive anywhere.
Their tendencies toward protective behaviors make them highly sought after as guardians,
if one can be calmed long enough to be persuaded. More commonly they are hunted by
adventurers or treasure seekers as their gemstone eyes are quite valuable in certain circles.
Obsidian shards speak Ancient; most also know Common, but few lower themselves to
using it unless they absolutely need to.
Combat
Obsidian shards aren't typically aggressive, but are highly territorial as it is difficult for
them to find comfortable places to live. Any perceived threat to their home or lair is met
immediate hostility. Its natural defenses allow it to charge headlong into battle without
fear.
Incinerate (Ex): An obsidian shard's slam attack deals additional fire damage from the
intense heat that emanates from its body. Any opponent struck by it must make a Reflex
save (DC 19) or catch on fire for 1d4 rounds. The save DC is Constitution-based.
Infernal Heat (Ex): An obsidian shard's body radiates tremendous heat that can set fire
to combustibles and incinerate any creature that comes near it. Any creature that begins
its turn within 10 feet of an obsidian shard suffers 1d6+5 points of fire damage; a creature
that suffers damage from this ability two for consecutive rounds catches on fire.
A creature striking an obsidian shard with a natural attack or unarmed attack suffers
damage equal to the obsidian shard's slam attack as backlash once per round. This ability
is only active when the obsidian shard's volcanic shell is destroyed.
Volcanic Shell (Su): When an obsidian shard does not suffer damage for two consecutive
rounds, it forms an obsidian shell over its skin that grants it damage reduction 10/—. The
shell lasts until it prevents 50 points of damage, then explodes in a fiery explosion that
deals 5d6 points of earth and fire damage to any creature within 10 feet (no save).

Oni
Oni are traditionally depicted as wicked, evil creatures, and for excellent reasons. The
average oni, on its best day, is a savage, greedy, self-motivated monster that deals death
and mayhem for pleasure and revels in the chaos it leaves in its wake. Their bad
reputation is usually well deserved, and often, vastly exaggerated by those who don't
know better.
Sometimes wrongly depicted as all-powerful gods, oni are nonetheless dangerous foes
who will stop at nothing to get their way. No tactic is too low for an oni; in fact, among
certain circles, the most dishonorable warrior, the one who fights dirtiest, is often the
most respected.
While most of the more powerful species abstain from it, infighting, deceit and murder
are commonplace among the lower castes of oni. A trait that all oni share, however, is a
universal disdain for shrines and holy ground, which they will normally stay away from,
or, if push comes to shove, stop at nothing to destroy and defile.
There are four types of oni, easily distinguishable by their skin color: aka-oni, ao-oni,
kuro-oni and shiro-oni. Oni speak both Fellspeak and Common.
Aka-Oni
This thickly-muscled brute stands approximately 8 feet tall and nearly half as wide at the
shoulders. It has a thick mane of hair, from which extends a pair of horns, and wears
nothing but a loincloth.
Aka-Oni are the least, and perhaps most despicable variety of oni. They delight in
murdering the innocent and hurting the helpless. They are known to ally and form bands
lead by the strongest of their number, until another member murders him and takes his
place.
An aka-oni stands about 8 feet tall and weighs about 500 pounds. Its skin color is in
varying shades of reds and browns, and its hair is black or a very dark brown. Aka-oni
strongly favor body modifications such as piercings and tattoos, and wear clothing that
display these modifications.
Combat
As they are lacking in intelligence, Aka-Oni favor straightforward tactics but almost
always prey on the weakest creature in sight, preferrably in larger numbers.
Aversion (Ex): An aka-oni suffers a –1 penalty to attack rolls and skill checks when in
the presence of a shrine, temple or holy ground.

Ao-Oni
This tall, lanky creature is covered in lean muscles and patches of black fur on its arms,
shin and chest. It wears nothing but a loincloth, has strangely spiked hair and a black
horn that curls upward from the center of its forehead.
Like all other oni, ao-oni are cruel and vengeful creature, but their cleverness is what
truly sets them apart. They have near-magical powers that enable them to put their
victims to sleep with a mere touch, breathe fire or camouflage themselves to go about
undetected, and use it to great effect. A particular past time most ao-oni will agree is
highly enjoyable involves kidnapping children from their home, releasing them in the
woods with a headstart and killing them before they can find their way back.
An ao-oni stands about 10 feet tall and weighs about 700 pounds. Its skin is blue or
purple, and its hair is black or white. Much like their cousins, ao-oni favor extreme body
modifications and wear garments to accentuate and show off those modifications.
Combat
Ao-oni are treacherous and deceitful foes, and will favor tactics that make use of their
abilities to camouflage thesmelves to catch opponents off-guard. Perhaps its favorite
tactic involves sneaking up on an unaware opponent and using its powers to lull it to
sleep. When pushed, however, Ao-oni are capable fighters at short and medium range and
will not shy from combat. An ao-oni's natural attacks count as chakra-enhanced for the
purpose of overcoming damage reduction.
Aversion (Ex): An ao-oni suffers a –1 penalty to attack rolls and skill checks when in the

Kuro-Oni
This huge, hulking creature has black skin and eyes like molten rock. Its head is crowned
by a pair of large, up-curling horns, and its mouth has two rows of flat, rocklike teeth. It
wears nothing but a lointcloth.
A kuro-oni is a well-oiled engine of destruction. What it lacks in intellect, it makes up for

with titanic strength and stubborn persistence. Unlike its cousins, a kuro-oni has no
preference in the mayhem it causes; it kills, maims and destroys without hesitating,
stopping to formulate a plan and completely without mercy.
A kuro-oni is a massive creature that is almost half as wide at the shoulders as it is tall,
and stands about 25 feet tall and weighs about 20,000 pounds.
Combat
A kuro-oni has no need for a plan and attacks with whatever weapon it can get its hands
on, or its fists, horns and powerful bite. A kuro-oni's natural attacks count as chakra-
enhanced for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.
Aversion (Ex): A kuro-oni suffers a –1 penalty to attack rolls and skill checks when in
Leap (Ex): A kuro-oni can make an enormous leap as a full-round action, moving up to
its movement speed. If the kuro-oni would land on a creature, meaning that it is in an area
the size of the kuro-oni's fighting space, that creature suffers 4d6+28 points of
bludgeoning damage unless it makes a Reflex save (DC 31). Any affected creature, as
well as any creature within 30 feet of the kuro-oni's landing zone must make a second
Reflex save or fall prone (DC 31). The save DCs are Strength-based.
Rampage (Ex): A kuro-oni has a cumulative 1% chance of going on a rampage at the
beginning of its turn whenever it enters combat. A rampaging kuro-oni attacks the nearest
creature or smashes any object or structure smaller than itself before moving on to
continue its rampage. It takes 10 minutes of continuous inactivity where the kuro-oni is
not fighting or chasing a creature for its rampage to end and the rampage chance to return
to 0%.
Roar (Su): Once per encounter, a kuro-oni can let out a huge roar that can be heard by all
creatures within a distance of 1 mile. Any creature wthin 50 feet of the kuro-oni suffers
2d6 points of sonic damage and is stunned for 1d4 rounds unless it makes a Fortitude
save (DC 25). The save DC is Constitution-based.
Trample (Ex): A kuro-oni can trample enemies by moving at twice its speed, dealing
4d6+21 points of bludgeoning damage, half on a successful Reflex save (DC 31). The
save DC is Strength-based.
Skills: A kuro-oni has a +8 racial bonus on Climb and Jump checks. It can always choose
to take 10 on Climb checks and Jump checks, even if rushed or threatened.

Shiro-Oni
This black haired creature has snow-white skin and appears much as a flawlessly-
muscled human wearing light plate armor, a loincloth and a pair of swords at its belt.
The similarities come to an end at its towering height, the canted eyes that are
completely black, the cruel smile full of sharp teeth that nearly splits its face in half, and
the two short, straight horns extending from its forehead.
A shiro-oni is the most intelligent and powerful kind of oni, thought by some to be a
quasi-deity. As such, shiro-oni tend to be arrogant but above such petty schemes as
raiding villages and small towns for fun and profit, but much more likely to use its
formidable power to bring entire armies to their knees and whole kingdoms to ruin.
A shiro-oni stands about 12 feet tall and weighs about 850 pounds.
Combat
A shiro-oni is a cunning foe and makes use of everything in its arsenal to gain the upper
hand, from its ability to camouflage itself to its ability to pass through solid barriers as
though they were as much thin air. A shiro-oni's natural attacks and any weapon it wields
count as chakra-enhanced for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.
Aversion (Ex): A shiro-oni suffers a –1 penalty to attack rolls and skill checks when in
Life Stealing (Su): A shiro-oni's life force is so massive and hungry that it pulls at the
energy of everything around it. All small insects and plant life within 10 feet of a shiro-
oni withers and dies instantly, while all creatures within 5 feet with 10 or fewer hit points
must make a Fortitude save (DC 20) or die. Any time a creature dies within 5 feet of a
shiro-oni, it heals 10 hit points.
Life Stealing Weapons (Su): A shiro-oni's hunger for life is so powerful that it extends
through its natural attack as well as any weapon it wields. Each time a shiro-oni makes a
successful melee attack, it deals an additional 1d6 points of damage and heals a number
of hit points equal to the damage dealt.
Summon Oni (Sp): A shiro-oni can summon 2d6 aka-oni, 1d4 ao-oni or 1 kuro-oni as a
full-round action once per day. This ability is the equivalent of a rank 12 technique.
Spell-like Abilities: At will–jukusui no jutsu (DC 18), mukidou sanpo no jutsu, shunshin

Phage
This creature is humanoid, but clearly nonhuman. Its ears are pointed, its skin a sickly
yellow skin hanging loosely over its flesh, a wide, gaping mouth and its posture is
hunched, reminiscent of an animal.
A phage is a creature who is not alive, but that passes for the living. It is greedy, self-
motivated, and often employed by those savvy in the spiritual and supernatural as hunters,
thugs, hitmen and bodyguards. Phages have a fierce apetite for raw meat, and care little
where it comes from. Though they do not need to eat, as such, phages can sometimes
consume as much as a fifth of its weight in raw meat daily.
Phages usually stand between 5 and 6 feet tall and weigh between 120 and 180 pounds.
Phages speak Ancient, and most speak Common or the local language as well.
Combat
Phages use their sharp senses and ability to smell blood in the air to stalk its prey. Though
slow by human standard, they are intelligent enough to formulate effective strategies and
seek whatever advantage they can over their opponents, using the element of surprise
whenever possible or any and all weapons at their disposal.
Blood Scent (Ex): A phage can sense the smell of blood and raw meat in the air at a
range of up to 500 feet.
Change Shape (Su): A phage can use this ability to adopt a single human form, unique
to itself. It cannot use this ability during combat and automatically returns to its natural
form if transformed.

primal hunger like no other. As it erratically inches forward, all debris, both living and
non-living, dissolves in its path.
Like others in the ooze family, the predator ooze is an amorphous being driven solely by
instinct to consume. However, its method of capturing its prey is far more sophisticated
than the methods employed by its brethren, opting to patiently wait for its prey to come to
it rather than searching endlessly.
On average, predator oozes weigh about 500 pounds and have a diameter of roughly 5
feet. However, they can grow larger with time or by consuming a sizable amount of
matter.
Combat
What makes a predator ooze distinct amongst its brethren is in the way it hunts.
Possessing the unique ability to morph its body to resemble objects in its environment,
the predator ooze waits for the perfect opportunity to get the drop on its prey. Once in
position, the ooze uses its acidic tendrils to slowly digest its prey.
Acid (Ex): A predator ooze secretes a digestive acid that quickly dissolves organic
material and metal, but not stone. Any successful melee attack or constrict attack deals
acid damage to creatures, objects and worn equipment. Armor or clothing dissolves and
becomes useless immediately unless it succeeds a Reflex save (DC 17). A metal or
wooden weapon that strikes a predator ooze also dissolves immediately unless it succeeds
a Reflex save (DC 17). The save DCs are Constitution-based.
The predator ooze's acidic touch deals 17 points of acid damage per round to wooden or
metal objects, but the ooze must remain in contact with the object for 1 full round to deal
this damage.
Camouflage (Su): A predator ooze can change its color to match the environment and
gain a +5 circumstance bonus to Hide checks. This takes 1 minute, but lasts until the ooze
takes an extended rest or changes color again. This bonus increases to +10 if it stays still
when hiding.
Change Shape (Su): A predator ooze has a limited ability to change its shape, able to
morph only into inanimate or environmental objects, such as rocks, trees, or debris of
Small, Medium or Large size. *A predator ooze gains a +10 bonus to Disguise checks
when using the Change Shape ability.
Constrict (Ex): A predator ooze deals automatic slam and acid damage with a successful
grapple check. The opponent’s clothing and armor take a -4 penalty on Reflex saves
against the acid.
Improved Grab (Ex): A predator ooze can make a free Grapple attempt against any
creature it hits with a slam attack. This attempt does not provoke an attack of opportunity.

Primordial Tortoise
This huge, lumbering creature is covered in an ocean of thick scales and has a shell the
size of a castle.
Like most kaijuu, the primordial tends to leave a path of destruction in its wake that
makes it easy to follow. That said, it isn't usually aggressive by nature, and many
primordial tortoise go centuries without having to fight or defend themselves.
The lifespan of these creature is so great that it can be very difficult to measure for
humans, but they are known to live at least for thousands of years. Many stories exist of
primordial tortoises laying still for so long that entire cities and ecosystems had been built
on or around them.
A primordial tortoise is 60 feet tall and 80 feet long, and weighs about 200 tons.
Combat
A primordial tortoise will often try to deter lesser foes by letting them tire themselves out.
When pressed into combat, however, it can wreak absolute havoc by devouring even
large predators, absorbing chakra attacks and letting out deadly flame bursts. A
primordial tortoise's natural attacks count as chakra-enhanced for the purpose of
Devastating Critical (Ex): The primordial tortoise's bite attack deals triple damage on a
critical hit.
Improved Grab (Ex): The primordial tortoise can make a free Grapple attempt against
any creature it hits with a bite attack. This attempt does not provoke an attack of
opportunity.
Radiant Shell (Su): Whenever a primordial tortoise negates a technique with its chakra
resistance, its shell begins to glow brightly. For 1d4 rounds afterwards, the primordial
tortoise's natural weapon attacks deal an additional 1d6 points of fire damage, and any
unarmed or natural attacks, or attacks with light melee weapons, against the primordial
tortoise cause the attacker to suffer 1d6 points of fire damage as backlask. As an attack
action, the primordial tortoise can unleash the gathered energy in a 30-ft.-radius burst
around itself that deals 14d8 points of fire damage (Reflex DC 33 halves). The save DC is
Constitution-based. The primordial tortoise can create thie burst only once every 1d4
rounds.
Slow (Ex): The primordial tortoise cannot run or charge.
Swallow Whole (Ex): The primordial tortoise can try to swallow a grabbed opponent
Huge size or smaller by making a successful Grapple check. Once iside, a creature suffers
4d6+19 points of damage and 2d6+5 points of acid damage per round from the primordial
tortoise's digestive juices. A swallowed creature can try to cut its way out using a light
slashing or piercing weapon by dealing 50 points of damage to the tortoise's digestive
track (Defense 26). Once a creature escapes, a muscular action closes the hole; another
swallowed opponent must cut its own way out.
A primordial turtle's gullet can hold 2 Huge, 8 Large, 32 Medium, 128 Small or 512 Tiny
or smaller creatures.
Skills: The primordial tortoise gains a +12 bonus to Hide checks when passing itself off
as a hill, mountain or other similar landmark.

Rokurokubi
This pale woman is dressed in fine silks and appears ordinary, if comely, save for the
wicked claws that pierce the skin of her fingertips, the fangs that fill her mouth and the
long neck that stretches over thirty feet.
Rokurokubi are tall, slender humanoid who appear human even upon closer inspection,
until they choose not to. While most are female in appearance, this is not a universal trait
and male rokurokubi exist as well.
Though they have no particular aversion to daylight, rokurokubi are largely nocturnal
predators, sometimes roaming from sunset to sunrise in search for prey. They often keep
human habits and have human interactions as well to keep up appearances and encourage
prey to come to them rather than have to be sought out.
A rokurokubi stands between 5 and 6 feet tall and weighs between 100 and 180 pounds.
Combat
Most rokurokubi rely on trickery to attract prey and strike when they are least expected
to. Many rokurokubi pick up new skills and train as humans, some even learning the ways
of the ninja and supplementing their own skills with techniques as well.
Cursed Wounds (Su): The wounds inflicted by a rokurokubi's natural attacks are not
only painful, but cursed as well. Each time a creature suffers damage from cursed
wounds, reduce its maximum hit points by the amount of damage it suffered. The victim
of the curse recovers its maximum hit points at the same rate it recovers naturally.
Healing spells or techniques do not affect the curse.
Disembodied Haunt (Su): A rokurokubi who suffers more than 8 points of damage to its
neck is beheaded instantly and becomes a nukekubi. Its body disintegrates, and it
becomes a Fine creature with a fly speed 60 feet (perfect maneuverability). A nukekubi
doesn't have the Cursed Wounds or Long Neck abilities, but its bite attack becomes a
primary natural weapon and deals 2d6+3 points of damage plus 1 point of Constitution
drain, which also heals the nukekubi 5 hit points.
When a nukekubi drains 8 points of Constitution damage, it can regenerate its body as an
attack action. When it does, it regains the statistics of a rokurokubi and is healed to full
hit points.
Long Neck (Ex): A rokurokubi's neck stretches long distances. It has a reach of 30 feet
with its bite attack, and can maneuver around cover and obstacles, including other
creatures. However, this comes at a risk and provokes attacks of opportunities from all
opponents in spaces adjacent to any squares between a rokurokubi and its target. The
rokurokubi's neck has damage reduction 5/piercing or slashing.
Skills: A rokurokubi gains a +4 racial bonus to Bluff and Intimidate checks, and a +10
racial bonus to Disguise checks to pass as human.

Kurokubi (CR 9)
Kurokubi or "black necks" are rokurokubi whose skin is black as night. Kurokubi do not
gain a bonus to Disguise checks to pass as human and their necks only provide a 20 foot
reach. However, a kurokubi's long neck has damage reduction 10/— and threatens all
squares within 20 feet, though each attack still provokes attacks of opportunities as
normal.
Senjin
This creature's beauty cannot be expressed in mere words. It is captivating and
mysterious, and can charm the minds of the imprudent without them ever noticing. One
could study its beauty for a lifetime and struggle to find any flaw, or escape the awe it
inspires.
Some beings are born under a lucky star, capable of great things with the charisma to
inspire others to do the same, but everyone has a bad side; the senjin is not one of them. It
is the embodiment of grace, the pinnacle of beauty, and it knows it. Many senjin abuse
their power to enthrall men and women they come across, heedless of the damage they
cause, opting for a life of chaos, pleasure and opulence.
As a result, senjins tend to be arrogant and self-entitled, drunk on its own power, a
sentiment further reinforced by the sycophancy displayed by the weak-willed who flock
to its side. A scorned senjin can be a vicious and spiteful foe, and unlikely to give one a
second chance to ponder incurring its wrath.
A male senjin stands a little over 6 feet tall and weighs about 160 pounds, while a female
senjin stands about 6 feet tall and weighs about 140 pounds.
Combat
A senjin is no great warrior, and it knows it. It prefers to using its enthralled minions as a
weapon, or simply charm its way out of conflict. When cornered, however, the senjin will
use its beauty and allure to its full, devastating effect to daze its enemies and turn friends
against one another.
Compelling Beauty (Su): This ability causes all humanoids within 30 feet of a senjin
who look directly at it to become struck by its beauty. Such creatures must make a
Fortitude save (DC 16) or become shaken as long as they remain in the senjin's presence.
A senjin can suppress or resume this ability at will, as a free action. The save DC is
Charisma-based.
Dazzling Charm (Su): A senjin can shock any creature it looks at with a mere look with
its sheer beauty and allure as an attack action. The target must make a Fortitude save (DC
16) or be dazed for 1d4 rounds. The save DC is Charisma-based.
Enchanting Elegance (Su): A senjin adds its Charisma modifier as a bonus on all saving
throws and as a deflection bonus to Defense, as well as a competence bonus to Handle
Animal checks and all Charisma-based skill checks against creatures attracted to its
gender.
Stimulating Touch (Su): A senjin's mere touch is intoxicating and can fill whomever it
is directed at with warmth and almost mind-numbing pleasure. If the target is not willing
to be touched, the senjin must start a grapple, which provokes an attack of opportunity. If
successful, the touch has the intoxicating effect of charming the target and making it
much more receptive to the senjin's suggestions, as zokuyuuin no jutsu, and less capable
of good judgement, imposing a –2 penalty on Wisdom-based skill checks and ability
checks and skill checks to resist its orders. The target must make a Will save (DC 16) to
resist the effects, which lasts for as long as it remains in the senjin's presence, and one
day afterwards or until the senjin is slain in front of the victim. If the effects end
naturally, it will leave the victim with a feeling of emptiness and a longing for the senjin's
presence, causing it to become fatigued for 24 hours until the feelings pass.
A senjin's stimulating touch is a highly addictive sensation, and can have unpleasant side
effects when used on a creature too often. These effects can be highly unpredictable,
ranging from the victim simply developing real feelings for the senjin to taking drastic
and extreme actions to protect the senjin against threats real, but most often imagined,
without being prompted. The save DC is Charisma-based.
Spell-like Abilities: 2/day–hijutsu: retsu hassai (5 mastery, DC 21). Character level 7th.
Skills: A senjin gains a bonus to Handle Animal checks equal to its Charisma modifier.
*In addition, it gains a bonus and any Charisma-based skill checks against creatures
attracted to its gender.

Shuragami
This creature looks like a wolf, but only at first glance. Its form is black and blurry.
Instead of fur, it appears to be made up of pitch-black wisps of shadow. The creature's
maw is large, its fangs glimmer unnaturally, and its eyes are two pinpricks of light that
glow in the dark like burning embers.
The Shuragami are evil spirits that take the form of wolves, who have a tendency to haunt
graveyards and battlefields to kill survivors; despite their violent tendencies, the primary
target of their fury are pillagers, looters and grave robbers. Legends claim that the spirit of
anyone killed by a shuragami is forced to wander a lifeless wasteland until atones for all
the pain he or she caused in life.
A shuragami is about 10 feet long and weighs about 950 pounds.
Combat
The shuragami is impossible to pin down and heavily favors pack tactics. When alone it
uses its ability to teleport to execute lethal ambushes, but prefers to immediately surround
its foes and attack from all sides as a pack.
Soulstone (Su): A shuragami's soulstone, when it is exposed, is on its forehead.
Spiritspeak (Su): A shuragami can speak common, and can communicate with any
animal.
Teleport (Su): The shuragami can teleport 20 feet as a move action. This movement does
not provoke an attack of opportunity and can be used while entangled, grappled or held
by a physical object, or without sure footing. It can do this in response to any attack or
effect it is aware of as an instant action once per day.
Trip (Ex): A shuragami can make a trip attempt against any enemy it hits with a bite
attack without provoking an attack of opportunity.

Shinobi no Mono
This tall, shrouded individual stands immobile in the darkness. The next instant, its
weapon is drawn and it disappears in a swirl of shadows.
Shinobi tend to be a diverse sort, but not every individual is the master of a hundred
techniques and fighting styles. The statistics presented here represent the devoted servant
of a feudal lord who would gladly give his or her life in service to a greater cause.
Because they have historically different focuses, shinobi and kunoichi are presented with
different stats, but the genders could just as easily be reversed.
Shinobi
As is typical, shinobi heavily favor stealth tactics but are more adept than kunoichi at
personal combat. Their ability to substite themselves for their allies also make them ideal
bodyguards.
Burst of Speed (Su): A shinobi can teleport up to 30 feet in response to an attack or
effect it is aware of against an ally. When defending an ally, the shinobi teleports next to
the ally and becomes subject to the attack instead. The shinobi can use this ability three
times per day. The first time, it costs 5 chakra, increasing by 5 chakra for each subsequent
use.
Fatal Strike (Su): A shinobi can pounce on an unsuspecting enemy and deal double
damage. This counts as a charge, and requires a flat-footed opponent or an enemy that
cannot see the shinobi.
Poison: A shinobi's weapons are all coated with one dose of an injury poison. Fortitude
save DC 16, initial and secondary damage 1d6 Wis.
Shinobi's Cunning (Ex): A shinobi is always acutely aware of his surroundings.
Flanking attackers only gain a +1 bonus to attack rolls, and the shinobi can never be
caught flat-footed.
Sneak Attack (Ex): A shinobi can make sneak attack like a ninja scout, dealing an extra
2d6 points of damage when an enemy is denied its Dexterity bonus to Defense or when
flanking.

Kunoichi
Unlike shinobi, kunoichi are more skilled in the subtle arts and are more likely to retreat
when directly confronted. Given the chance, it will attempt to seduce an enemy and either
poison it or weaken it with its sealing kiss before initiating any confrontation.
Burst of Speed (Su): A kunoichi can teleport up to 30 feet in response to an attack or
effect it is aware of against itself. When defending against an attack, the kunoichi simply
avoids the effect. The kunoichi can use this ability three times per day. The first time, it
costs 5 chakra, increasing by 5 chakra for each subsequent use.
Kunoichi's Cunning (Ex): A kunoichi is always acutely aware of her surroundings.
Flanking attackers only gain a +1 bonus to attack rolls, and the kunoichi can never be
caught flat-footed.
Poison: A kunoichi's weapons are all coated with one dose of an injury poison. Fortitude
save DC 16, initial and secondary damage 1d6 Wis.
Sealing Kiss (Su): A kunoichi can use this deadly technique by simply kissing a living
creature. If the living creature is not willing to be kissed, the kunoichi must start a
grapple. The sealing kiss bestows 1 negative level that fades automatically after 24 hours
without requiring a Fortitude save. A kissed creature must also make a Will save (DC 18)
or treat the kunoichi favorably (as though its attitude was friendly) for 10 minutes. A
hostile creature is not subject to the additional effect. Ths save DC is Charisma-based.
Sneak Attack (Ex): A kunoichi can make sneak attack like a ninja scout, dealing an

Tatsugaeru
This large toad-like creatures is covered in scales and powerful muscles, and appears to
have limbs that end in hands that have opposable thumbs.
A tatsugaeru is a type of kami that relishes in the thrill of battle. They are not particularly
bloodthirsty and usually spare defeated opponents, but rarely pass up the chance for a
fight. Powerfully muscled and roughly the size of a grow human, tatsugaeru make their
homes near large bodies of water and often stake out the site of possible battles in the
hopes to join in and turn the tide of battle. They are often seen as simple or unintelligent
creatures, but few can fault their courage.
A grown tatsugaeru is 5 feet tall in a crouched position and weighs about 300 pounds.
Tatsugaeru only speak common, but understand all living creatures whether they can
speak or not.
Combat
Tatsugaeru almost always fight in groups, and are generally fearless creatures. They join
in battles on the losing side heedless of danger, for the simple pleasure of turning the tide
against the side with superior numbers. In groups, tatsugaeru can join with each other to
emit a powerful croak so loud it can stun or kill opponents.
Croak (Su): When three tatsugaeru are within 10 feet of each other, they can act
simultaneously as a full-round action to emit a powerfully loud croak. All creatures
within 50 feet suffer 3d6 points of sonic damage, halved on a successful Fortitude save
(DC 15). Any creature that suffers damage must make a Will save (DC 15) or be dazed
for 1 round. Each additional tatsugaeru that joins in the croak increases the damage by
+1d6 and the radius by 5 feet (maximum 10d6, but the range increases up to 100 feet). A
tatsugaeru can only participate in one croak each day. The save DC is Constitution-based.
Flying Leap (Su): A tatsugaeru can leap great distances with supernatural control. As a
move action, the tatsugaeru can move 60 feet as though it had a fly speed with average
maneuverability, but must end its movement on solid ground, or it begins to fall. The
tatsugaeru can only use this ability once per round and must begin its movement with
solid leverage to jump off of, usually solid ground.
Haymaker (Su): A tatsugaeru can make a single slam attack against a flat-footed
creature as an attack action. If it hits, the slam attack gains 1.5 times the tatsugaeru's
Strength bonus to damage and the target must make a Fortitude save (DC 15) or become
sickened and staggered for 1 round. The save DC is Constitution-based.
Intimidating Prowess (Ex): Tatsugaeru use their Strength score instead of their
Charisma score when making Intimidate checks.
Stagger (Su): A creature hit by two tatsugaeru water blasts in a single round must make a
Fortitude save (DC 15) or become flat-footed until the beginning of its next turn. The
save DC is Constitution-based.
Strength in Numbers (Su): When two tatsugaeru are within line of sight of each other,
they are immune to fear effects. Furthermore, any ally within 10 feet of a tatsugaeru gains
a +4 morale bonus to saves against fear.
Water Blasts (Su): A tatsugaeru can unleash two powerful water blasts as ranged attacks
with a range of 200 feet. Each blast deals 3d6 points of water damage on a successful hit.
Skills: A tatsugaeru gains a +2 racial bonus on Listen and Spot checks.

Tengu
The tengu are beings who dwell in mountains often associated with yamabushi, mountain
warrior hermits. Though they are not evil, they are perceived as dangerous by most and
feared by many. Tengu are proud creatures who do not take insults well, and while they
are quick to anger, they are not entirely unreasonable.
Tengu have a long history of swordsmanship, and many claim that both ninja and samurai
were first trained by their more powerful rulers. Their social behavior otherwise fairly
mimics that of tribal humans, although tengu also look for cunning as well as strength in
their leaders. They establish themselves in mountains, each one ruled by a mighty tengu
called a daitengu; the larger the mountain, the larger the flock of tengu, and the stronger
the daitengu.
There are two kinds of tengu: hanataka-tengu and karasu-tengu. Because of their ancestry
and mingling with humans, tengu speak Ancient and Common.
Hanataka-Tengu
This humanoid, slightly taller and much more muscular than a human, has tan skin and
small dark wings protruding from its back resembling that of a crow. Its most prominent
feature is a long, slender nose that extends nearly a foot from its face.
Hanataka-tengu, or long-nosed tengu, are creatures of legend. At first believed to be

malicious, they still inspire awe and wariness despite their neutral tendencies. Legends
and rumors tell tales of hanataka-tengu teaching swordsmanship to the young men and
women who wander in the mountains even today; it is said that a tengu's teachings are
harsh and ruthless, but a sure path to greatness.
Most adult hanataka-tengu are about six feet tall and weigh about 180 pounds.

Hanataka-tengu are shrewd tacticians and will often form elaborate battle strategy in
order to obtain an elegant victory. They are very disciplined and organized combatants
and function very well as a unit, often putting the objective before their own safety.
Despite all this, a hanataka-tengu's pride can sometimes overpower its better judgement,
leading it to make mistakes it would not have made otherwise.
Ancestral Warfare (Ex): Hanataka-tengu have a long history of swordsmanship and
gain automatic proficiency tessen, war fan, as well as all swords and sword-like weapons
(including chisa-gatana, daikunai, double katana, fullblade, greatsword, katana, kodachi,
large katana, longsword, ninja-to, sabre, shortsword, sword-cane, two-bladed sword and
wakizashi).

Karasu-Tengu
This birdlike humanoid stands on two legs that end in sharp talons. Its body is covered in
black feathers, it has the head of a crow, and two muscular arms that end in five-
fingered, handlike talons. Two large, black-feathered wings extend from its back.
Myths and legends paint the karasu-tengu as demons who kidnap and eat children, while
in reality they are anything but. While their monstrous appearance certainly lends
credence to those rumors, the karasu-tengu are usually neutral and trustworthy creatures.
There are many stories that say that karasu-tengu were the first to discover ninjutsu and
teach it to the first shinobi; while those stories may not entirely be true, many karasu-
tengu practice the ninja arts, and some reach awe-inspiring levels of proficiency.
Like their long-nosed cousins, karasu-tengu are not averse to teaching their arts to
strangers, given the right incentive. Karasu-tengu can make loyal friends and allies to
those who will look past their appearances.
An adult karasu-tengu stands about 6 feet tall and weighs about 160 pounds.
Combat
Karasu-tengu often prefer to avoid direct confrontation. They are discreet creatures and
use this to their advantage by setting up deadly ambushes and traps, picking off their
enemies from a distance to minimize the danger to the flock. They are disciplined and
iron-willed combatants, but often wary of strangers who tend to attack them without
provokation simply because of their monstrous appearance.
Ancestral Warfare (Ex): Karasu-tengu have a long history of bowmanship and
shurikenjutsu and gain automatic proficiency in tessen, war fan, as well as all projectile
and thrown weapons (including blowgun, crossbow, dagger, daikyuu, fuuma shuriken,
greatbow, hand crossbow, hankyuu, kunai, large shuriken, shuriken, throwing knife,
throwing needles and throwing spear).
Glide (Ex): The karasu-tengu can use its wings to slow its fall and glide. It can make a
Jump check (DC 15) to fall safely from any height without taking damage, falling at a
rate of 10 feet per round. While falling, the karasu-tengu can make an additional Jump
check (DC 15) to glide forward 5 feet for every 10 feet it falls.

Vicious Slime
Glossy, green and gelatinous, this creature makes a keening whine as it creeps ever
closer.
These creatures are often more a nuisance and a pest than a threat. As with all things,
however, there is strength in numbers and vicious slimes travel in packs.
A vicious slime is two feet wide and tall and weighs around 100 pounds.
Combat
Vicious slimes are usually mindless in their assault and pay no mind to strategy.

Wani
This huge crocodilian creature has gleaming black and purple scales and slitted eyes
that glow a sickly green. Its mouth is filled with rows of sharklike teeth and curled
upwards in a macabre, hungry grin.
The wani is a dangerous predator that, like its mundane cousin, makes its home in
tropical climates, even though it isn't cold-blooded itself. Like most youkai, the wani is
much more intelligent than the average animal and thrives on chaos and terrifying its prey
before moving in for the kill.
Wani prefer quantity over quality, and often leave behind a trail of half-eaten carcasses
that have been mangled almost beyond recognition as they were ripped to pieces from the
inside.
A wani is about 20 feet long and weighs about 2,500 pounds.
Combat
The wani is a patient and cunning predator, preying on the weakest target and devouring
them from within before bursting out of their corpses in a visceral display.
Burrow (Ex): A wani can only burrow in mud, muck and unpacked soil or sand.
Change Size (Su): A wani can change its size from Huge all the way down to Fine. The
wani can shrink to any smaller size it wishes as an attack action, but can only grow one
size category per round as an attack action.
If the wani is in a constrained space when it attempts to grow to a different size category,
it must make a Strength check to break through, taking into account the penalties of its
current size. If the wani is inside a creature, it must make an opposed Grapple check to
grow to any size category above two size categories smaller than the target. The wani's
Grapple modifier smaller sizes is as follow: Fine –1, Diminutive +3, Tiny +7, Small +11,
Medium +15, and Large +19.
This is extraordinarily painful for the victim. If the wani attempts to grow to 2 sizes
smaller, the victim suffers 3d6+13 points of damage, or half that if the victim succeeds
the opposed Strength checks. At 2 sizes smaller, the damage is 6d6+13 and the victim is
unable to act on a failed Strength check as it is wracked by pain. At 1 size smaller, the
damage is 9d6+13 per attempt and the victim is unable to act even on a successful
Strength check. At the same size category, the wani is automatically expelled and the
victim must make a Fortitude save (DC 17) or die. On a successful save, the victim is
merely reduced to -1 hit points and dying.
Improved Grab (Ex): A wani can make a Grapple attempt as a free action against any
creature it hits with its bite attack without provoking an attack of opportunity.
Powerful Bite (Ex): A wani's powerful bite attack deals triple damage on a critical hit,
and threatens a critical hit on a natural roll of 18, 19 or 20.
Predatory Burrowing (Su): When a wani has a creature pinned, it can make a Grapple
check as a full-round action and shrink down to a very small size at the same time. On a
successful check, the wani crawls into the creature's mouth and into its stomach.
The wani can only burrow into a creature while three size categories smaller than the
creature (Diminutive for a Medium-sized creature, for example).
The process of removing a burrowing wani is the same as recovering from a pin. The
victim must succeed at an opposed Grapple check, and suffers a -4 penalty to the check.
Another creature can attempt remove the wani as a full-round action. This allows the
victim to substitute its Grapple bonus with the assisting character's Sleight of Hand bonus
when it attempts to expel the burrowing wani.
Thrash (Ex): When a wani has a creature pinned, it can thrash around with its victim and
its mouth whenever it succeeds a Grapple check, dealing 3d6+13 points of damage as a
free action.
Skills: The wani gains a +4 bonus to Hide checks for each size category below Huge it
shrinks to, and a +8 bonus to Swim checks.

Yomijishi
This enormous, bipedal reptile stands hunched on its digits, covered in yellow-and-black
barbed scales, and uses its long, whip-like bladed tail for balance. Its eyes are green and
slitted, its snout short, split by a wide maw filled with sharp fangs, and crowned with a
short horn at the tip. The top of its skull is marked with bony frills resembling horns.
Yomijishi, also known as the hell hound, is a creature of myths and legends. There is no
true evidence that points to its origins or its creation, though the more popular stories tell
the tale of a creature from the Underworld that found its sustenance on the corpse of the
wicked. That creature, Yomijishi, supposedly escaped when a Creator God left the
underworld, and before it could seal the entrance.
Whether or not that is the case, Yomijishi is an unpredictable predator of legendary
strength and remains a very real threat to all who encounter it. Though its lair, rumored to
be deep underground, has never been found, Yomijishi is known for surfacing all over
the world to find its prey, ranging from human villages to other animals and kaijuu. Some
legends claim that Yomijishi only hunts during the full or new moon, there is no evidence
and rarely any survivors that might indicate a cycle or pattern in its activity.
Yomijishi towers at about 60 feet tall and 80 feet long, weighs about 90 tons, and cannot
speak.
Combat
Yomijishi is a fierce combatant and will lash out at its prey savage and deadly attacks.
Though somewhat cleverer than most animals, its greatest strength is that there exists no
conventional means of killing it. Yomijishi's natural attacks are treated as epic weapons
to overcome damage reduction.
Adaptative Evolution (Ex): Yomijishi is comfortable in any environment and
automatically adjusts its physiology to suffer no penalty and operate normally in any
natural or supernatural condition, no matter how exotic or harsh. This enables yomijishi
to adapt to unfavorable conditions like being in a vaccuum, deep underwater, in low or
high gravity, or even in acid, lava, or a cloud of lightning.
Furthermore, when exposed to damage of any energy type, yomijishi gains resistance 30
to that energy type for 24 hours. Each round, it can react to any attack that deals energy
damage it is resistant to as an instant action to become immune to that energy type for 24
hours, or until exposed to a different energy type. Yomijishi can only immunize itself
against a certain energy type once per round.
Frightful Presence (Ex): Yomijishi can inspire terror by roaring or attacking. Affected
creatures make a Will save (DC 27) or become shaken for as long as they remain within
60 feet of Yomijishi. The save DC is Charisma-based.
Improved Grab (Ex): Yomijishi can make a free Grapple attempt against any creature it
hits with a claw attack. This attempt does not provoke an attack of opportunity.
Swallow Whole (Ex): Yomijishi can try to swallow a grabbed opponent Huge size or
smaller by making a successful Grapple check. Once inside, a creature suffers 1d10+8
points of damage and 1d10+5 points of acid damage per round from yomijishi digestive
juices. A swallowed creature can try to cut its way out using a light slashing or piercing
weapon by dealing 50 points of damage to yomijishi digestive track (Defense 25). Once a
creature escapes, a muscular action closes the hole; another swallowed opponent must cut
its own way out.
Yomijishi gullet can hold 2 Huge, 8 Large, 32 Medium, 128 Small or 512 Tiny or smaller
creatures.
Fast Regeneration (Ex): Yomijishi heals at a rate or 50 hit points per round, and
automatically regrows limbs, even a head, in 1d6 minutes even when not concentrating.
Furthermore, yomijishi is not subject to effects that cause incurable wounds or slow down
the rate of natural healing or regeneration.
No damage type can stop this ability, and it continues to regenerate even when failing a
saving throw against a death effect or when targeted by an effect that would destroy or
disintegrate its body.
Yomijishi can only be slain by an attack against which it willingly offers no defense
(conditions such as unconsciousness or paralysis do not meet this requirement).
Skills: Yomijishi gains a +4 racial bonus on Listen and Spot checks.

Yuki-onna
This beautiful woman has snow-white hair and skin so pale it is almost blue, and wears
precious little to fend off the icy chill of winter.
Yuki-onna are cursed creatures, forever freezing to death and compelled to consign others
to that very same fate. They are the subject of many legends and rumors, which tend to
paint only a somwhat accurate picture of what yuki-onna are actually capable of. In truth,
they are spirits of hunger spawned by willful acts of evil. They usually aren't intentionally
spiteful and rarely act with ill intent, but their actions often make it difficult to determine
their motive.
A yuki-onna is around 5 feet tall and weighs 100 pounds.
Combat
Despite its slight appearance, a yuki-onna will usually face its foes head-on, having little
need for surprise.
Breath Weapon (Su): A yuki-onna can let out a devastating breath of ice and wind,
dealing 12d6 points of cold and wind damage to any creature in a 60-foot-long cone,
halved on a successful Reflex save (DC 20). The yuki-onna can only use its breath
weapon once every 1d6 rounds. The save DC is Constitution-based.
Cold Command (Su): As an attack action, a yuki-onna can issue a command to anyone
within 30 feet who can hear her. The command must be one or two sentences, less than
25 words in total, and cannot be self-destructive in nature. The subject must succeed a
Will save (DC 23) or be compelled to fulfill the command, or continuously attempt to do
so for 1 hour. This is a compulsion, and the save DC is Charisma-based. The effect can
be dispelled with genjutsu kai by making a dispel check (DC 25). A creature who resists a
cold command becomes immune to that yuki-onna's cold command ability for 24 hours.
Heat Thief (Su): Any living creature touched by a yuki-onna or hit by one or her slam
attack suffers 2d6 points of cold damage as the yuki-onna drains the heat from their
bodies. If the yuki-onna deals damage to a pinned creature, the damage from this ability
increases to 3d6.
If the yuki-onna strikes a critical hit against a living creature, this damage is not
multiplied but the yuki-onna gains one of the effects of Heart of Winter instead.
Icicle (Su): A yuki-onna can throw icicles with a range of 200 feet. Each icicle requires a
ranged attack roll and deals 3d6 points of cold and piercing damage.
Icy Flight (Su): A yuki-onna can travel along with a strong wind, becoming partly
insubstantial in the process. The yuki-onna gains a fly speed 120 feet with poor
maneuverability, but while she does so, she loses her immunity to wind damage and is
incorporeal.
Insatiable Winter (Su): A yuki-onna draws strength from the chakra of techniques used
against her. Whenever her chakra resistance protects her from a technique, the yuki-onna
gains one of the effects below for 1 minute. While affected by insatiable winter, if the
yuki-onna's chakra resistance protects her from more techniques, she gains additional
effects. However, the duration of the effects is not increased or refreshed. When the
duration of the first effect expires, all of the insatiable winter benefits fade as well. Each
effect only applies once; they do not stack.
– Blizzard (Su): The yuki-onna whips up the area around her into a whiteout blizzard. The
blizzard has a 100-ft. radius spread and imposes a -4 penalty on Spot checks and ranged
attack rolls. This effect can be negated by the Kuuryuusan no Jutsu techniques performed
as a 10th level or higher character.
– Bitter Cold (Su): Each enemy that begins its turn in a square adjacent to the yuki-onna
suffers 3d6 points of cold damage.
– Hardy (Su): The yuki-onna gains 10 temporary hit points.
– Heart of Ice (Su): The yuki-onna's icicles deal an additional 2d6 points of damage.
– Speed (Su): The yuki-onna gains a +4 bonus to Dexterity and its movement speed
doubles.
– Strength (Su): The yuki-onna gains a +10 bonus to Strength.
Spirit of Winter (Su): A yuki-onna is exhausted when fatigued to temperatures above
freezing for more than 1 minute, and cannot use her Heat Thief or Insatiable Winter
ability until she is dealt at least 10 points of cold damage, after which time her abilities
return for 1 minute.
Winter's Grasp (Su): A yuki-onna is more than simply impervious to cold, she is the
embodiment of winter. Rather than being simply immune to cold and water damage,
every point of cold and wind damage dealt to a yuki-onna heals 1 hit point instead.

SECTION IV: CREATURE TEMPLATES

Templates are applied to creatures to modify their existing abilities or supplement them
with additional ability, either to provide a greater challenge or simply to create more
interesting foes. They are either acquired or inherited.
An acquired template can be applied to an existing creature even after it was first
encountered, while inherited templates are something the creature was either born or
created with. Furthermore, some templates can be restricted to only a certain kind of
creatures, typically by type. All such restrictions are listed in the template entry.
Demon Vermin
These creatures are the horrible result of a summoning pact gone horribly wrong. They
are stronger, faster and much more aggressive than giant vermin and almost impossible to
kill by conventional means.
Demon Vermin Template

The demon vermin template is an inherited template that can be applied to any vermin of
Small size or larger. A demon vermin retains all the base creature's traits and abilities,
except as noted below.
Type: The base creature's type changes to Aberration (youkai). Unlike most youkai,
however, demon vermin only possess the Emphemereal special quality.
Speed: The base creature's speed doubles.
Defense: The base creature gains a +4 natural armor bonus to Defense. If it already has a
natural armor bonus, it improves by 4.
Immunities: A demon vermin is immune to acid damage.
Special Qualities: The demon vermin gains the following special qualities, in addition
to the special qualities of the base creature.
Acid Spit (Ex): The demon vermin can spit acid as a ranged touch attack with a range
increment of 20 feet. The attack deals 2d6 points of acid damage on a successful hit (3d6
if the demon vermin is Large, 4d6 if Huge, and 6d6 if Gargantuan or larger).
Caustic Maw (Ex): If the demon vermin has a bite or sting attack, it deals an additional
1d6 points of acid damage on a successful hit.
Fast Regeneration (Ex): The demon vermin gains fast regeneration 5. If it already has fast
healing, it improves to fast regeneration. If it already had fast regeneration, it improves by
5.
The only way to disable a demon vermin's regeneration is to stake it through the brain, a
difficult organ to find that requires the demon vermin to be pinned or incapacitated and
an attack roll at a -4 penalty. A successful attack that deals damage halts the demon
vermin's fast regeneration for 1 round.
Abilities: Strength +8, Constitution +4, Charisma +8. Demon vermin have an
Intelligence 8, and gain skills and feats normally.
Challenge Rating: HD 4 or less, as base creature +3; HD 5 or more, as base creature +5.
Allegiance: A demon vermin creature usually has the chaos and evil allegiances.
Sample Creature
This example uses a huge Giant Scorpîon kaijuu as the base creature.
Acid Spit (Ex): The demon scorpion kaijuu can spit acid as a ranged touch attack with a
range increment of 20 feet. The attack deals 4d6 points of acid damage on a successful
hit.
Caustic Maw (Ex): The demon scorpion kaijuu's sting attack deals an additional 1d6
points of acid damage on a successful hit.
Constrict (Ex): A demon scorpion kaijuu deals automatic claw damage on a successful
grapple check.
Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, a demon scorpion kaijuu must hit with a claw
attack. A scorpion can use either its Strength modifier or Dexterity modifier for grapple
checks, whichever is better.
Poison (Ex): A demon scorpion kaijuu has a poisonous sting that can inject venom that
deals 1d6 points of Constitution damage as initial and secondary damage with a Fortitude
save DC 23. The save DC is Constitution-based.
Skills: A demon scorpion kaijuu has a +4 racial bonus on Climb, Hide, and Spot checks.

Glutton Creature
A glutton creature is possessed of a wild, primal hunger that can never be sated, no matter
how much it eats. Not only is it always hungry, but it can eat and digest anything from
meat and bones to wood and stone, and can be driven to madness if not fed properly.
Glutton Template
The glutton template is an acquired template that can be applied to any creature that isn't
a construct or partially mechanical. A glutton creature retains all the base creature's traits
and abilities, except as noted below.
Type: The base creature's type remains the same.
Attacks: The glutton creature gains a bite attack. If the base creature already had a bite
attack, increase its damage according to the following progression or increase its damage
die by one step, whichever is more.
Size Damage
Fine 1
Diminutive 1d2
Tiny 1d3
Small 1d4
Medium-size 1d6
Large 1d8
Huge 2d6
Gargantuan 2d8
Colossal 4d6
Special Qualities: The glutton creature gains the following special qualities, and retains
all the special qualities of the base creature.
Digest (Ex): The glutton creature can spend a full-round action concentrating on its
digestion and heal 5 points of damage for each hit dice it has as it digests all organic
matter it has eaten. If it doesn't consume a meal within 5 minutes of using this ability,
starvation begins immediately. The glutton creature can't use this ability on an empty
stomach.
Fast Healing (Ex): A glutton creature heals 5 hit points of damage each round it has at
least 1 hit points. It cannot heal hit points lost due to starvation with fast healing.
Iron Gut (Ex): The glutton creature has a cast iron stomach and is immune to all ingested
poisons and disease. It is can digest anything, and its stomach can hold twenty times as
much volume as a normal creature of its size, though this does not increase the size of its
gullet if it has the Swallow Whole ability. Matter stored in the glutton creature's stomach
doesn't count towards its carried weight to determine encumberance.
Extraordinary Metabolism (Ex): The glutton creature has the capacity to digest
everything it can swallow, regardless of whether it is organic matter or not, though it does
not derive nutrinents from it. Inorganic matter ingested by the glutton creature is digested
in 1d4 days.
In order to stave off starvation and thirst, the glutton creature needs to intake five times as
much food and drink as a creature its size. If it doesn't eat or drink for 24 hours,
starvation or thirst sets in immediately, and deals damage at twice the normal rate. Any
hit points damage dealt by starvation and thirst also lower the glutton creature's Wisdom
and Charisma scores until it eats a full meal (which, again, is five times larger than a
normal creature of its own type).
Purge (Ex): The glutton creature can purge the contents of its stomach at any time, on
command, as a swift action, though it is usually very reluctant to do so. When doing so, it
can purge only partially or completely, meaning that it could regurgitate a specific object
or substance it ingested and nothing else. After purging, the glutton is dazed for 1 round.
Abilities: Constitution +2, Charisma –2.
Challenge Rating: +2

Obake
Obake are individuals with the unique ability to shapeshift into an animal or vermin form,
or something in-between. They are the subject of many legends and have been given
many names over the years, many of them discriminatory. In truth, obake are no more
violent than other individuals of their race, though they do tend to be more feral and have
more finely-honed instincts than others.
Obake Template
The obake template is an inherited template that can be applied to any living humanoid or
monstrous humanoid. When creating an obake, it must be associated with a specific
animal or vermin between Tiny and Huge-sized. In very rare circumstances, Noble Obake
can also be associated with dragons and magical beasts. An obake retains all the base
creature's class levels, hit dice, traits and abilities, except as noted below.
Size and Type: The base creature's size and type remain the same, but it gains the
shapechanger subtype. In hybrid form, an obake's size category matches the size of its
animal.
Hit Dice: The base creature's hit dice remain the same, but recalculate its hit points to
account for a change in Constitution score when it changes shape.
Speed: Same as the base creature or the animal, depending on the form the obake is
using.
Defense: The base creature gains a +2 natural armor bonus to Defense in all forms. If it
already has a natural armor bonus, it improves by 2.
Attacks: Same as the base creature or animal, depending on the form the obake is using.
In hybrid form, an obake has two claw attacks and a bite attack. These attacks deal
damage based on the obake's size category.
Size Category Claw Bite
Tiny 1d3 1d4
Small 1d4 1d6
Medium 1d6 1d8
Large 1d8 2d6
Huge 2d6 2d8
Special Qualities: The obake gains the following special qualities, and retains all the
special qualities of the base creature.
Change Shape (Su): The obake can assume the form of its associated animal, or a hybrid
form somewhere in-between. Changing forms between humanoid, animal or hybrid form
is an attack action that may provoke an attack of opportunity.
A slain obake returns to its original form. An obake's equipment does not adapt to fits its
new size.
Damage Reduction (Ex): An obake gains damage reduction 10/cold iron in animal form
or hybrid form.
Energy Resistance (Ex): A noble obake gains any energy resistance in animal or hybrid
form its associated animal possesses.
Senses (Ex): An obake gains all of the following qualities in humanoid or hybrid form,
but only if its animal possesses them: blindsense, darkvision, keen scent, low-light vision,
scent and tremorsense.
Bonus Feats: An obake gains Alertness as a bonus feat.
Abilities: An obake gains a +2 bonus to Wisdom, while noble obake gain a +2 bonus to
Intelligence, Wisdom and Charisma. In hybrid or animal form, its Strength, Dexterity and
Constitution scores also change in accordance to its animal.
To determine the change, subtract 10 if a score is even-numbered or 11 if it is odd-

numbered, from the animal's ability scores and apply that number as a bonus or penalty to
the obake's ability score. This bonus supersedes any racial or species bonus to physical
ability scores an obake may have.
Challenge Rating: As base creature, modified by the HD of the animal. 1–2 HD, +2; 3–5
HD, +3; 6–10 HD, +4; 11–20 HD, +5; 21 HD or more, +6. Noble obake are at a further
+1 CR (magical beast) or +2 CR (dragons).
Level Adjustment: +4 (+5 for noble obake).
Sample Creature
This example creature uses a Giant Bear as the associated animal.
Improved Grab (Ex): A giant bear obake can use this ability while in animal form when
it hits an opponent with a claw attack. It can make a Grapple attempt as a free action
without provoking an attack of opportunity.
Skills: A giant bear obake in animal form has a +4 racial bonus on Swim checks.
Techniques Known: The obake knows the following techniques, with the possible
addition of many more, and can use them in any form:
Taijutsu- iwakuzu taigeki, shundou (1 mastery), taijutsu: butsukari, taijutsu: jiki-
uchi, taijutsu: shotei uchi, taijutsu: todome, taijutsu: yama-uchi.

Units
A unit represents a number of creatures that have joined together as a group. They are
well-coordinated and very dangerous to face alone. It is treated as a single creature like a
swarm, but obeys slightly different rules because they rely on tactics and use weapons.
Unit Template
Unit is an acquired template that can be added to any Small, Medium or Large creature.
Size and Type: A unit's size depends largely on the number and size of the creatures in
it, but is always either Gargantuan or Colossal in size. The unit's type remains unchanged
from the base creature, and helps determine the unit's base attack bonus and saving
throws. A unit's size does not affect its attack bonus and Defense, but still affects its
Grapple and Hide checks.
A unit's size is determined by the number of component creatures it has. A Gargantuan

unit has about 24 Small, 24 Medium or 6 Large component creatures, while a Colossal
unit has about 50 Small, 50 Medium or 12 Large component creatures.
Hit Dice: A unit has hit dice based on its size and type in addition to its racial hit dice (if
any). The number of hit dice gained is determined by the number of component creatures
in the unit, but this represents only a unit with the most rudimentary training. An
experienced unit may gain class levels as well, increasing its hit points, attack bonus,
saving throws, defense and reputation bonuses, and granting it feats and abilities.
Dealing damage to a unit impedes its ability to attack. Each time a unit loses one-quarter
of its total hit points, it makes 2 fewer attack during its turn. A unit is never disabled or
dying from taking damage; when reduced to 0 hit points, every member of the unit is
considered dead or fleeing.
Chakra: A unit has the same chakra as the base creature improved by any class levels the
unit may have, but gains bonus chakra that does not increase the strength of its chakra
signature based on the number of hit dice it has.
Speed: A unit's speed is 5 feet slower than the base creature's speed (minimum 5 feet).
Attacks: A unit gains a large number of attacks depending on its size rather than base
attack bonus, which does not change whether the unit is armed or not. However, despite
this advantage, a unit cannot direct all of its melee attacks against a creature of a certain
size. A Gargantuan unit can only make 4 melee attacks against a creature Large size or
smaller, and a Colossal unit can only make 6 melee attacks to a creature Large size or
smaller. This limitation does not apply to larger creature, and a unit can make all of its
attacks against a Huge or larger creature.
A unit can use ranged or thrown weapons as well to make ranged attacks against any
creature further than 10 feet away, but does so at a –5 penalty to attack rolls and is not
limited to the number of ranged attacks it can make against a single creature regardless of
its size.
Additionally, unlike swarms, units can take attacks of opportunity and gains a great
number of them. Each time a creature provoke an attack of opportunity from a unit, it
takes the maximum number of melee attacks the unit can make, up to the number of
attacks it has remaining.
Grapple: A unit gains a bonus to Grapple checks based on its size and Strength modifier,
but rarely ever grapples, preferring instead to use its Grab attack. A unit is never denied
its Dexterity bonus to Defense when grappling.
Space and Reach: A unit's fighting space depends on its size category, but its reach is
the same as the base creature's, enabling it to either attack adjacent opponents, or occupy
an opponent's square like a swarm. In order to occupy an opponent's square, the unit
moves into its opponent's space, which provokes an attack of opportunity. A unit can
move through openings large enough for its component creatures, but cannot run or
charge while doing so.
Any creature whose square a unit occupies is considered overwhelmed, and makes checks
to perform techniques to avoid an attack or as defensive maneuvers at a –4 penalty.
Special Attacks: A unit retains the special attacks of the base creature, though the saving
throws should be adjusted to take into account the bonus hit dice gained from its size.
However, not all special attacks translate well with units and may require some creative
remodeling. For example, a unit of puppeteers only has one action, and can only animate
a limited number of puppets; therefore, a possible solution to such a problem would be to
let such a unit animate a unit of puppets. In addition, the unit gains the following special
attacks.
Coordinated Charge (Ex): A unit can move up to twice its speed and make a charge
attack against any creature whose square it occupies at any point during the movement.
Grab (Ex): A unit can make a grab attack instead of a normal attack. A grab attack is a
melee touch attack and forces the target to make an opposed Grapple check against the
unit. If the unit is successful, the unit can make two additional attacks against the grabbed
creature if it is Large size or smaller, and the creature loses its Dexterity bonus to Defense
against those two attacks. The unit releases the grabbed creature at the end of its turn. A
creature can only be grabbed once per round.
Special Qualities: A unit retains the special qualities of the base creature, and gains the
following special qualities. However, it should be noted that not all special qualities
translate well to a unit and may require some modeling, and while there are rules to allow
a unit to manifest powers, cast spells or perform techniques, such creatures are best left
outside of a unit to act individually.
Unit Cohesion (Ex): Because a unit is comprised of a group of creature, is not subject to
critical hits and sneak attacks. In addition, a unit cannot be flanked, tripped, grabbed, bull
rushed or overrun.
Unlike a swarm, however, a unit can be targeted by effects that target single creatures but
is not subject to taking additional damage from areas of effect. However, because a unit is
comprised of many singular creatures while acting as one, this affects the behavior of the
Cleave, Great Cleave and Whirlwind Attack feats and similar abilities. A creature with
the Cleave feat may make an extra melee attack when it makes a successful melee attack
against a unit, a creature with the Great Cleave may make up to two such attacks in a
round, subject to the same requirements, and a creature that hits a unit with the
Whirlwind Attack feat can make an additional attack against the unit. Likewise, a single
creature can be targeted by a power, spell, technique or effect that can incapacitate or kill
an individual creature without dealing direct damage; each invidual creature slain,
disabled or incapacitated by such an effect gives 1 negative level to the unit until the
creature recovers or is replaced.
Although a unit is treated as a single creature, and acts as one, it may become necessary
to determine the fate of individuals within the unit. If the unit is reduced to 0 hit points by
lethal attacks, assume that 50% of its numbers are slain, 40% of its numbers are reduced
to 0 hit points, and the rest are fleeing. If reduced to 0 hit points by nonlethal attacks,
there are no casualties and assume 50% of its numbers are unconscious and the rest are
fleeing.
Powers, Spells and Techniques (Sp): A unit can sacrifice all of its attacks during a round
to manifest powers, cast spells and perform techniques it knows instead. When doing so,
a unit can use techniques as though it has three actions per round.
Saves: A unit's saves are calculated based on the hit dice it gains from size, and
determined by its type.
Ability Scores: A unit has the same ability scores as the base creature.
Skills: Same as the base creature. A unit does not gain additional skill points from the hit
dice it gained from its size.
Feats: Same as the base creature, but a unit gains the Combat Reflexes and Improved
Bull Rush bonus feats.
Challenge Rating: Same as the base creature, modified by the unit's size. If a unit gains
additional class levels, adjust its challenge rating accordingly.

Base Attack Bonus (A): Use this column for aberrations, animals, constructs, elementals,
giants, humanoids, oozes, plants, and vermin.
Base Attack Bonus (B): Use this column for dragons, magical beasts, monstrous
humanoids, and outsiders.
Base Attack Bonus (C): Use this column for fey and undead.
Elite, Boss and Solo Units
A unit cannot be imbued by the Elite, Boss and Solo templates as normal. Rather, to
make such a unit, increase the number of hit dice gained, the number of attacks it can
make, the maximum number of attacks it can direct at creatures of a certain size, and its
challenge rating according to the table below. An elite, boss or solo unit does not gain
additional actions or extra turns as normal creatures do, and does not gain a bonus to
saving throws or defense, but gains maximum hit points per unit hit dice.
Maximum Attacks
Unit Type Extra Hit Dice Extra Attacks per Creature CR Adjustment
Elite 2 1 +1 +1
Boss 5 2 +2 +2
Solo 10 5 +3 +3
Minion Units
A minion unit also does not behave as a normal creature. A minion unit has fewer hit dice
than a normal unit, fewer attacks and a lower challenge rating.

Wild Creature
A wild creature are feral, rabid beasts that kill indiscriminately. They are stronger and
tougher than their counterparts, spread deadly disease and are absolutely fearless, which
is perhaps their most dangerous quality. A wild creature cannot be tamed or appeased.
Wild Template
The wild template is an acquired template that can be applied to any living animal or
magical beast. A wild creature retains all the base creature's traits and abilities, except as
noted below.
Type: The base creature's type remains the same
Special Qualities: The wild creature gains the following special qualities, and retains all
the special qualities of the base creature.
Disease (Ex): The wild creature carries a disease that is spread whenever it hits with a
claw or bite attack, if any. The disease has an incubation period of 1d3 days, and deals 1
point of Constitution damage and 1d3 points of Wisdom damage on a failed Fortitude
save, DC 10 + one-half the wild creature's hit dice + the wild creature's Con modifier.
When damaged, the infected creature must make a second Fortitude save or the
Constitution damage is permanent train instead. This disease is called blood fever, and its
symptoms include high fever, dizziness and bouts of uncontrollable rage.
Rage (Ex): The wild creature can enter a state of rage at any time, and is likely to do so
without provocation. While raging, the wild creature attacks any creature it perceives as a
foe without fear. A raging wild creature gains a +2 bonus to Strength and Constitution, is
immune to fear and continues to act normally even when reduced to –1 hit points or
lower. The feral rage lasts for a number of rounds equal to 3 + the wild creature's
Constitution modifier, and it cannot end its rage voluntarily.
Abilities: Strength +4, Dexterity +2, Constitution +2.
Challenge Rating: As base creature +2.
Sample Creature
This example uses a bear as an example.
Disease (Ex): The wild bear spreads disease whenever it hits with a claw or bite attack.
The disease has an incubation period of 1d3 days, and deals 1 point of Constitution
damage and 1d3 points of Wisdom damage on a failed Fortitude save (DC 14). When
damaged, the infected creature must make a second Fortitude save or the Constitution
damage is permanent train instead. This disease is called blood fever, and its symptoms
include high fever, dizziness and bouts of uncontrollable rage.
Rage (Ex): The wild bear can enter a state of rage at any time, and is likely to do so
without provocation. While raging, the wild bear attacks any creature it perceives as a foe
without fear. A raging wild bear gains a +4 bonus to Strength and Constitution (and 6 hit
points), is immune to fear and continues to act normally even when reduced to –1 hit
points or lower. The feral rage lasts for 6 rounds, and the wild bear cannot end it
voluntarily.
Skills: A wild bear has a +4 racial bonus on Swim checks.

SECTION V: EPIC CREATUES

The foes in this section are not for the faint of heart, or for the inexperienced or
unprepared! Each epic monster is a creature whose power is beyond the ken of almost any
challenger.
Daitengu
Daitengu are the mountain-dwelling kings of tengu. They are powerful, wise and ancient
creatures, often the subject of legends where warriors looking for a master seek them out
to learn their secrets.
They are almost exclusively found on mountains ruling tengu communities, and are
famously warriors of exceptional powers.
A daitengu is between 9 and 12 feet tall, and weighs about 700 pounds.
Combat
Daitengu are well-versed in tactics and rarely fight alone. Furthermore, they have a long
history of warfare and adorn themselves with armaments of great power. The daitengu
presented here uses weapons with greater mystical weapon seals.
Counterattack (Ex): When a daitengu is missed by a melee attack, it can immediately
make an attack of opportunity with any melee or ranged weapon it currently wields. It can
only counter any given opponent once per round.
Daitengu Foresight (Su): A daitengu adds its Wisdom bonus as an insight bonus to
Defense and Reflex saves, and its Intelligence bonus as a dodge bonus to Defense.
Furthermore, it retains its Dexterity bonus to Defense when caught flat-footed.
Legendary Craftsman (Ex): A daitengu automatically meets all the requirements for
item creation feats. When a daitengu crafts or enhances ancestral tengu weapons, it can
do so ten times quicker than a normal creature.
Legendary Warrior (Ex): A daitengu can take a penalty to attack rolls and apply that
same number as a bonus to Defense or weapon damage rolls when attacking with a melee
or ranged weapon. The penalty to attack rolls cannot exceed the daitengu's base attack
bonus. It can choose to do this as a free action once per round, and the benefits of this
ability last for one round. This does not stack with the Combat Expertise or Power Attack
feats, or with other similar abilities.
Reap the Whirlwind (Su): When a tengu attacks with a weapon, it deals an additional
3d6 points of wind damage. This damage is not multiplied on a critical hit.
Sow the Wind (Su): As a swift action, a daitengu can bestow upon any humanoid within
50 feet the gift of foresight. This boon manifests itself as a +4 bonus to its next attack roll
or saving throw, a +4 bonus to Defense against the next attack that targets it or a +8
bonus to its next Knowledge (tactic) check. If the recipient of this boon is a tengu, the
bonus is doubled.
Supreme Ancestral Warfare (Ex): A daitengu is supremely skilled at the use of its
weapon. It is treated as having the weapon focus, greater weapon focus, weapon
specialization, greater weapon specialization, and improved critical class abilities for any
weapons listed in its entry. Furthermore, depending on the type tengu, it gains the
following benefits.
When a Hanataka-daitengu wields a katana or a war fan in combat, a it increases their

critical multiplier to ×3, and treats both weapons as light weapons for the purpose of
Two-Weapon Fighting.
When a Karasu-daitengu uses attacks with ranged weapons, it suffers no penalties for
range, ignores all concealment penalties and adds ×1.5 times its Strength modifier to
damage, even if the weapon would not normally allow Strength to damage.
Teleport (Ex): A daitengu can teleport 500 feet once per round as a move action. It
cannot use this ability to break out of grapples, and can only travel to places it could
physically move to.
Transcendent Attack (Su): Three times per day, but no more than once every 1d6+1
rounds, a daitengu can make a powerful attack. The specifics of the attack depend on a
daitengu's type.
A Hanataka-daitengu can swing its war fan to immediately spawn a tornado as per
tatsumaki no jutsu. The tornado is a 400-ft. tall, 30-ft. radius cylinder, and the hanataka-
daitengu can concentrate on this attack as a free action every round to direct the path of
the tornado. Attacking a daitengu while it concentrate can disrupt its concentration for
one round, but does not dismiss the tornado.
A Karasu-daitengu can make a ranged attack at its highest attack bonus against all
creatures in a 1,000-ft. long line. This attack ignores cover but only damages creatures
and animated objects, not inanimate objects and structures.
Skills: A daitengu gains a +4 racial bonus on Jump, Hide, Listen, Knowledge (tactics),
Move Silently and Spot checks. It can make a special Craft check to make ancestral tengu
weapons, and gains a +8 racial bonus on that skill.

Sojobo (CR 24)

A unique and mighty daitengu, Sojobo is thought to be the king of all tengu and the ruler
of the tallest peak in the world. Unlike most daitengu, Sojobo has all the abilities of
hanataka- and karasu-daitengu, and a Strength, Dexterity and Constitution score increased
by 4 points.
Kirin
This majestic creature has the overall shape of a stag, but its body is covered in scales
with patches of silver fur. Though it has a great panache of antlers, it has the head of a
dragon and a silver beard.
Friend to all creature, the kirin is a shrewd judge of character often allowed the privilege
of final judgement in ancient legends. In actuality, the kirin does indeed have the innate
ability to sense purity and detect guilt, but cannot speak and seldom spends enough time
around humans to pass judgement on most matters.
The kirin is rarely seen alone, and prefers the company of other beings to true solitude. As
such, it spends most of its time travelling the world, taking on a myriad of forms and
interacting with as many creatures as it can. This is especially true in battle, given its
unique ability to summon creatures of every blood pact to fight by its side.
A kirin understands all all creatures, but cannot speak. A mutejin is about 10 feet long
and weighs about 950 pounds.
Combat
A kirin categorically refuses to do battle against the innocent, and when pressed into
battle, almost never fights alone. The kirin will first summon one or several powerful
allies, and join them in battle when it has the advantage.
Air Walk (Su): Kirin always hover a few inches above the ground so as to not disturb
plants or the creatures that leave underfoot. As such, it never leaves tracks wherever it
goes.
Celestial Crown (Su): A kirin's gore attack deals triple damage on a critical hit and can
target incorporeal creatures normally.
Celestial Diplomat (Sp): A kirin can summon creatures as an attack action as though
using Kuchiyose no Jutsu. In doing so, it can summon creatures from any blood pact, and
pays the chakra cost normally. The kirin has a chance of being able to summon a unique
creature, and most kirin will know at least one unique summoning when encountered.
The kirin can have up to five summoned creatures in play at a time up to a maximum
rank of champion and level 10, with a total maximum combined level up to 28.
Change Shape (Su): A kirin can change its shape at will to take on the form of a Small,
Medium, Large or Huge animal or magical beast of its choice.
Damage Reduction (Ex): A kirin's damage reduction is only overcome by a weapon that
was annointed in a mixture of brackish water and the blood of an evil creature.
Imperial Soulstone (Su): A kirin's soulstone has twice as much chakra as normal, and
imposes a dreadful curse on anyone who breaks it. Anyone who breaks a kirin's
soulstone, whatever the means or the distance between the perpetrator and the soulstone,
must succeed a Will save (DC 31) or become cursed.
A cursed creature only gains half the normal benefit from rest and cannot benefit from
any outside healing, whether from use of skills, mundane items, abilities, powers, spells
or techniques. The cursed creature remains cursed until it atones (at the GM's discretion).
Imperial Wisdom (Su): A kirin adds its Wisdom bonus as an Insight bonus to Defense,
and its Charisma bonus as a deflection bonus to Defense. It never loses its Dexterity
bonus to Defense when caught flat-footed.
Judge Purity (Su): A kirin intuitively knows whether a creature has the good or evil
allegiance. When a creature makes a statement that denounces a specific act, the kirin
always knows whether the statement is true or false.

SECTION VII: ITEMS

With the advent of new creatures comes new items, from weapons and armor to new
artifacts to provide even more options to brave adventurers and shinobi. Each new
element in this section is intended for a fantasy setting where monsters are a fact of life,
and a technology level reminiscent of medieval Japan.
New Armor
Nothing wards off fangs and claw as well as a good suit of armor, and these provide just
the protection needed to keep one safe. The seven armor types below indicate armor that
should commonly be used by player and non-player characters alike in a setting without
access to modern materials.
Banded Mail: This type of composite armor, also called laminar armor, is fashioned from
bands of metal and serves as a heavier variant of scaled mail. Banded mail features a
breastplate, shoulderguards, vambraces, tassets, greaves and gauntlets.
Leather Armor: Made from hardened, layered or boiled leather, leather armor is worn as a
suit rather than just a cuirass and offers adequate protection without sacrificing too much
mobility. Studded leather is very similar, but is secured with studs or rivets that also
provide additional means of deflecting blows.
Plate Armor: The epitome in personal defense, plate armor offers excellent protection
across all armor types, without greatly slowing down the wearer. Plate armor is the most
expensive type of armor, but also the most versatile. Light plate armor consists of a
breastplate, shoulderguards and tassets. Medium plate armor also uses thicker plate and
includes greaves, vambraces and gloves. Heavy plate armor uses thick steel plates and
includes full leg guards, arm guards and a helmet.
Scaled Armor: Also called lamellar armor, scaled armor consists of small, overlapping
metal plates or "scales" that wards off powerful attacks without requiring the level of
craftsmanship and expense of plate armor.

provided you are able to survive long enough in the first place (including the vacuum of
space).

APPENDIX I: NPC CLASSES
This appendix contains three new NPC classes designed to streamline the creation of
NPCs somewhat, and to remove some of the hassle of creating NPCs on the fly. They
differ from ordinary classes in that the NPC can progress to an advanced or prestige class,

level in a heroic, paragon, advanced or prestige class or acquires a template, it is treated
as an Ordinary character.

warriors amass. This class is best used for melee combatants such as soldiers, thugs and
brutes, or even enemy ninja of a lesser calibre.

Hit Die
The Enforcer gains 1d8 hit points per level. The Constitution modifier applies.

APPENDIX II: SUMMONING PACTS

In this book of monsters, there are many ways to enter into a pact or a contract, but none
quite in the sense that would be expected in a game with Summoning techniques. This
appendix details a set of optional rules to enter into a contract with a creature of a
different sort: the Monster Familiar.
Monster Familiar
A character can enter in a contract with a monster familiar by permanently improving a
creature's attitude to Friendly or better, and completing a lengthy, expensive and difficult
ritual to bind it to himself in a way not unlike a summoner's blood pact.
Despite the name, the monster familiar doesn't have to possess monstrous traits or
inhuman qualities, but it cannot be of a race or creature type that doesn't have at least one
racial hit die.
Only a character who hasn't signed a blood pact can acquire a monster ritual.
Furthermore, a character with a monster familiar can never, under normal circumstances,
sign a blood pact. At the GM's discretion, the character may be able to undergo a quest or
ritual to undo the effects of the binding and thus gain a blood pact, but must do so at the
cost of his bond with the monster familiar. Regardless of the ritual, a character can never
have both a blood pact and a monster familiar.
The Ritual
The ritual to bond with a monster familiar is not an exact science, and is comprised of so
many moving parts that depend both on the character and the monster familiar that no
two rituals can ever be alike.
The process of crafting the bonding ritual is almost as important as completing it, and
must be perfectly tailored to the character and his chosen candidate. Because of this, it is
impossible for anyone to aid in its construction. There are three stages to the ritual:
Construction, Preparation and Execution.
• Construction: Crafting a ritual to bond with a monster familiar is as much an art as it is

a science. It is a combination of advanced knowledge of supernatural creatures, a keen
sense of self-awareness and an intricate understanding of fetishes and ritual sacrifices.
The process of crafting a ritual takes part in 10 steps. Each step takes 5 consecutive full
days of work that cannot be interrupted by training or any other activities. After each
week of work, the character can make one check that contributes to the development of
the ritual. The steps do not have to be completed one after the other, but no more than one
month can pass between each steps, or the ritual has to be started from the beginning.
At the end of the 10 steps, the character must have made at least 5 successful checks. If
not, the ritual is ruined and must be started again from scratch.
The characters can make Knowledge checks relevant to the creature type or subtype of
his canditate (GM's discretion). Alternatively, he can make Sense Motive check to look
within himself and seek true understanding of his motivations and points of intersect
between himself and his candidate. Finally, the character can make Research checks to
find relevant lore and seek out objects of significance to aid in completing the ritual at the
Preparation stage.
The difficulty of each check is DC 20 plus the candidate's challenge rating (minimum 1).
• Preparation: The preparation stage consists of gathering expensive and exotic

materials that make the ritual at all possible, or even facilitate it. This requires the
character to make one or several Wealth checks to put together materials of a very
specific nature. At the GM's option, the character might be required to find the materials
himself as part of a mission or quest. The difficulty of the check is based on a few factors,
as shown on the table below.
If the Wealth check fails, the character doesn't spend any money, but the ritual is ruined
and must be started again from scratch.
The character may also make a second Wealth check at the Preparation stage to gain an
even greater bonus, but at an enormous risk. The character declares his intention after
succeeding the first check. If the second check fails, the character still spends money for
making the first check but the ritual is ruined and must be started again from scratch,
therefore the first set of components is useless as the next ritual to be crafter will be
different. If both checks succeed, however, the Preparation bonus is doubled.
Condition Purchase DC
Base check 15
CR of the candidate (minimum 1) +1
Each successful Research check in Construction stage (maximum 5) –1
Exotic materials (maximum 5) +2
Candidate creature type or subtype...
Dragon +3
Immortal +20
Kaijuu +2
Kami +2
Outsider +2
Spirit +1
Youkai +2
If using a currency system, the ritual has a material cost associated with it instead. No
check is required in this case, and the cost associated with the ritual's purchase DC must
be paid in full either with purchased materials or found materials that match the specific
nature of the ritual (GM's discretion). The character can double the material cost to
automatically gain a greater bonus.
• Execution: The third and final stage of bonding a monster familiar is the execution.
Now that the ritual is crafted and the materials have been prepared, the only thing left is
to bond with the candidate. The execution phase is a simple level check, modified by
certain factors shown on the table below. The difficulty of the check is equal to 20 plus
the candidate's Hit Dice (minimum 1).
The level check is modified by one ability score, which depends on the creature type of
the candidate.
– Strength (animal, giant, monstrous humanoid)
– Dexterity (ooze, vermin)
– Constitution (elemental, magical beast)
– Intelligence (construct, fey, humanoid)
– Wisdom (plant, undead)
– Charisma (aberration, dragon, outsider)
Factor Bonus
Each successful Knowledge check in Construction stage (maximum 5) +1
Each successful Sense Motive check in Construction stage (maximum 5) +1
Two Wealth checks during Preparation stage +5
Exotic materials used in Preparation stage (maximum 5)¹ +1
Synergy bonus (5 or more ranks in ...)
Diplomacy (aberration, dragon, elemental, outsider) +2
Handle Animal (animal, magical beasts, vermin) +2
Intimidate (giant, fey, humanoid, monstrous humanoid, undead) +2
Repair (constructs) +2
Survival (ooze, plant) +2
¹ This bonus is doubled if the character made two Wealth checks during the Preparation stage.
Bonded Familiars
Once the ritual is complete, the bonded familiar vanishes into the ether until summoned
again and follows the same rules as summons as far as death, injury, and summon
duration.
The bonded familiar can be summoned by a technique equivalent to Kuchiyose no Jutsu,

with a rank equal to 6 plus half the monster familiar's CR (maximum 14). The technique
has a chakra cost equal to the chakra pool of the monster familiar or twice its challenge
rating, whichever is higher.
Summoning Rituals: Powerful creatures can be bonded and summoned during a ritual
with the help of others. Allies able to use Kuchiyose no Jutsu (or any of its variants) can
participate in a ritual. Participants can contribute an amount of chakra to the summoning
equal to their level or hit dice, but the bonded character must pay at least half the chakra
cost himself and the difficulty of the Ninjutsu check for participants is DC 20. The rules
for summoning rituals otherwise apply regarding the maximum number of participants
and the perform time.
Familiar Advancement
If the character bonded with a creature capable of advancement, the character can help it
achieve greater power by performing an Advancement ritual. This is the same as a
bonding ritual, but the Construction stage only has 5 steps and the base cost of the
Preparation stage is 12, rather than 15.
The character can only advance his familiar by up to 5 hit dice at a time. A successful
check means the monster familiar advances without any issue. A failed check means the
monster familiar does not advance and cannot be summoned for 1d4 weeks. A check
failed by 10 or more means the monster familiar can't be summone for a month and the
character must make a second check. If the second check also fails, the familiar is killed
instead.
