Senmet sees and hears through the desert zombies, horrific undead that will relentlessly serve Senmet's commands, gliding under the desert sand as if it were water. When they rise, they rise as the legion of the dread sands, with relentless halting strides that bring terror to all. And they do so suddenly with no sound unless the dread moans are needed to instil horror and no odour of death or decay, so not even watchful animal companions can warn. Adapted from Touch of Death Instinct: Serve the whims of Senmet

• Seize victims from beneath the sands
• Unrelenting pursuit
• Reach up through sand and grab legs of victim

This creature is basically a huge white (black) pudding. Her powers include illusion generation and charm as per the spell. Fire does double damage to the creature. Cold, of course, does not bother her in the least. Her corrosive secretions dissolve any prey she cannot charm/seduce for mating. The Cold Woman lures persons into her lair with gems and jewelry, which are scattered about her cave. She then paralyzes them and inserts one of her eggs into the body. In a day's time the egg hatches and her spawn (a white pudding) eats the host. The egg is easily removable and the spawn will die if exposed to the air before hatching. In the Frozen Wastes, it is often said that the evil or greedy fall prey to her power most often. She always abandons a lair after laying one batch of eggs. Legend has it that there is only one Cold Woman at a time; all the rest await her death, and then the strongest one becomes the mother. Her young white (black) puddings are known as Cold Spawn and are also immune to the cold. Instinct: Mate

• Seduce and paralyze
• Implant fatal eggs
• Dissolve

This avian flock is closely related to the raven, but has a much higher level of sentience. It is commonly found in the mountains and hills. The bird flock's claws are poisoned, as it is able to crush some types of deadly berries for that effect. The DM may choose any venom from the Thief's arsenal. The bird swarm knows how to strike for exposed body ports and uses a diving attack. These evil birds are among the followers of the evil demon goddess Tyaa. Instinct: Steal valuables for Tyaa
