Tomb of Dorvin

Dorvin the Mangler, was the leader of an adventuring party of bloodthirsty dwarves known as "Dragar's Monmur" (Dragar's Will). Dorvin was cruel to all, but fortunately, his anger was often taken out on orcs. With his axe, "Orstr Olgad" (Orc Killer), Dorvin would venture into the wild hunting down orcs for the sheer pleasure of slaying them and torturing their leaders in front of their women and children to impose fear on them. Although other dwarves of clan Ironhammer did not approve of his and his band's methods, they did not stop him from slaying their enemies. Unfortunately, Dorvin met his end at the hands of stone giant during one of his ventures into the mountains. The giant was unable to follow the dwarves into a small recess as they retreated to fight another day - however, with their leader dead, the small band dispersed, there whereabouts unknown. Clan Ironhammer, to honor the bloodthirsty dwarven warrior, dedicated a hidden tomb to him to the east, where he often ventured (The elders of the village dare not have one of such malice buried within their kingdom for fear of his curse. Due to his violent ways, the dwarves of Ironhammer often would reprimand Dorvin to the point where the dwarf would spend more of his days outside the hall than in. Miffed by the treatment from his brethren, Dorvin swore that upon his death, his body would rise again to fight all who would defame him to prove that his way was the way of Dragar.

"A squirming, roiling mass of squeaking rats draws closer, teeth flashing and claws scratching everything in its path."

A rat swarm typically consists of a biting, roiling mass of hundreds of disease-ridden rats driven to uncharacteristic heights of aggression by fantastic and overwhelming hunger. In such numbers, they become voracious hunters, capable of killing a full-grown human with hundreds of bites. Rat swarms are often found in the sewers of large human settlements.

Rat swarms surround and attack any warm-blooded prey in their path.

Special Abilities:

Bloodstorm (Sp): Bleeding horrors can cast bloodstorm up to three times per day as an 8th–level cleric.

Blood Consumption (Su): When a bleeding horror successfully hits a living opponent with a claw attack, it heals a number of hit points equal to the damage dealt. However, it can’t gain more than the subject’s Bleeding Horror current hit points + the subject’s Constitution score, which is enough to kill the subject. A bleeding horror can’t gain more hit points than the maximum hit points allowed by its Hit Dice. For example, a 12-HD bleeding horror may not have more than 144 hit points.

If a bleeding horror hits an opponent with both claw attacks in a single round, that opponent suffers catastrophic blood expulsion, taking 1d4+2 points of Constitution damage. A successful Fortitude save reduces the damage by half. For each point of Constitution damage dealt, a bleeding horror gains 5 temporary hit points.

Create Spawn (Ex): Any creature slain by the blood consumption attack of a bleeding horror becomes a bleeding horror in 1d4 minutes under the command of its creator.

Find Target (Sp): If the axe of blood is taken from a bleeding horror before the creature is destroyed, it can find it unerringly, as though guided by discern location.

Horrific Appearance (Su): A living creature within 60 feet that views a bleeding horror must succeed on a Fortitude save or take 1d6 points of Strength damage. This damage cannot reduce a victim’s Strength below 0, but anyone reduced to Strength 0 is helpless. Creatures affected by this power or those that successfully save against it cannot be affected again by the same bleeding horror’s horrific appearance for one day.

Powerful Charge (Ex): A bleeding horror minotaur typically begins a battle by charging at an opponent, lowering its head to bring its mighty horns into play. In addition to the normal benefits and hazards of a charge, this allows the beast to make a single gore attack with a +9 attack bonus that deals 2d8+6 points of damage.

Natural Cunning (Ex): Although bleeding horror minotaurs are not especially intelligent, they possess innate cunning and logical ability. This gives them immunity to maze spells, prevents them from ever becoming lost, and enables them to track enemies. Further, they are never caught flat–footed.

Languages: Giant

"This creature appears as a hulking bull–headed humanoid whose body constantly drips and oozes thick blood. Its eyes are small pinpoints of red light and shine with evil. It wields a massive axe in its clawed hands."

A bleeding horror minotaur stands more than 7 feet tall and weighs about 700 pounds.

A bleeding horror minotaur’s natural weapons are treated as magic weapons for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.

Special Abilities:

Chain Armor (Ex): The chains that adorn a kyton grant it a +4 armor bonus, but are not treated as armor for the purpose of arcane spell failure, armor check penalties, maximum Dexterity, weight, or proficiency.

Dancing Chains (Su): A kyton can control up to four chains within 20 feet as a standard action, making the chains dance or move as it wishes. In addition, a kyton can increase these chains’ length by up to 15 feet and cause them to sprout razor-edged barbs. These chains attack as effectively as the kyton itself. If a chain is in another creature’s possession, the creature can attempt a DC 15 Will save to break the kyton’s power over that chain. If the save is successful, the kyton cannot attempt to control that particular chain again for 24 hours or until the chain leaves the creature’s possession. A kyton can climb chains it controls at its normal speed without making Climb checks. The save DC is Charisma-based.

Unnerving Gaze (Su): Range 30 ft., Will DC 15 negates. A kyton can make its face resemble one of an opponent’s departed loved ones or bitter enemies. Those who fail their saves become shaken for 1d3 rounds. This is a mind-affecting fear effect. The save DC is Charisma-based.

"Wickedly barbed chains adorn this lean figure, and gaps in the bindings reveal deathly pale flesh etched with jagged scars."

Often classified among the ranks of the infernal and called chain devils by the uninitiated, the sadomasochistic kytons are not true devils. Many suggest that kytons were natives of Hell who existed there before the advent of devilkind, while others hypothesize they were later brought to the plane by some sadistic power. Regardless of their origins, kytons roam the planes in their lust to cause and receive suffering, seeking pain through violent abductions and sadistic debauches.

The kyton presented here is a typical member of this fiendish race of outsiders, but is by no means the only type of its kind. Just as there are numerous different species of demon and devil, rumor holds that different kinds of kytons dwell in their jangling cities in Hell and on the Plane of Shadow. These kytons are invariably more powerful than the one presented here, often having spell-like abilities or hideous and unsettling special attacks along the themes of torture and pain. Rumor holds that the most powerful kytons are completely inhuman, and that these monsters are the true progenators of the kyton race—the kyton presented here but the result of unholy dalliances with their unfortunate victims.
