Any creature entering their pit may (1 in 2 chance per round) trip and slide further down the rocky, loose sides to the bottom where the ant lion buries itself awaiting the prey. It will burst out of the soil and attack with its two large mandibles. If it successfully hits, the victim will be held fast and cannot escape unless the ant lion is killed. Each round the mandibles will automatically inflict 5d4 points of damage to trapped prey. +Giant ant lions are large, predatory insects that live in rocky desert areas.

 Fire drakes are not dragons and, other than having multiple attack routines and possessing breath weapons, have little in common with the larger creatures. The blood of a fire drake may be collected and used as a grenade-type weapon (a pint of the stuff acting as two// //flasks of oil), or may be used to temporarily coat any all-metal weapon, causing an extra 1d4 points of flame damage upon a successful hit. This flaming effect lasts 1d4+2 rounds, but there is a 2% cumulative chance per round of destroying a normal weapon by using it in such a fashion.

- Gambados are enchanted mollusk-like creatures that inhabit burrowed-out pits in old graveyards and battlefields and feed on the blood and other bodily fluids of living prey. They have a powerful upper muscle with two sharp-clawed appendages and a sightless, lamprey-like mouth which they conceal inside a scavenged humanoid or animal skull. Their lower body tapers into three hooked feet which they use to anchor themselves in their pit lairs. Gambados move by either springing upwards with their dorsal muscles or pulling themselves with their appendages. Gambados lure prey by burying themselves in loose soil or gravel up to 6' deep with only the skull left exposed as bait. When a living creature comes within 5' of their pit, they will spring forth attacking with a bite. Thereafter, they will attack with both a bite and their two claws. If a gambado is losing a fight it will retreat back into its pit or scurry away to find some other enclosed shelter. Dead gambados will regenerate within 3 months into 1d3 new gambados unless destroyed with fire or acid. +Gambados are enchanted mollusk-like creatures that inhabit burrowed-out pits in old graveyards and battlefields and feed on the blood and other bodily fluids of living prey.

 Souls occasionally become lost in the ether, unable to complete their migrations from the prime material to the outer planes after the deaths of their host bodies. Over time, such wayword souls are devoured by predatory ethereal creatures, captured by nighthags and their minions, or slowly dissipate into nothingness. Those that have spent significant periods of time in the ethereal plane and have begun dispersing into the ether eventually lose much of their essential cohesion and, with that, both the intelligence and the psychic will required to resist being captured by an enterprising druid, magic user or creature with magical talent. Indeed, those "soul-remnants" or "fractured souls" may be brought into the Prime Material by spellcasters and consigned to specially prepared, elemental matrices.

The preparation of the matrix requires three hours of constant work and involves the ritualized burning and admixture of mistletoe. Once the consecretated matrix is prepared, the druid places a //pyrotechnics//, //stone shape//, //water breathing// or //air breathing// spell upon it, with the spell determining the type of elemental grume that is to be created. Culminating the process is the casting of the 4th level druidic spell //animal summoning I//, which draws a fractured soul from the ether and infuses the matrix with its essence. Elemental grumes created through this druidic process are stronger and larger than those spawned by magic users, possessing 4 initial HD and the mass of a typical man. +

Mages prepare their elemental matrices in a manner similar to druids but, instead of combining consecrated mistletoe, add the entire blood supply of a live, medium-sized creature that has been sacrificed on the spot. Once the matrix has been properly prepared, the mage then chooses to place either a //pyrotechnics//, //material//, //water breathing// or //air breathing// spell on it, followed immediately with the 4th level arcane spell //monster summoning II//.

Those creatures that fall into a colony's thick, near-impenetrable webs will find themselves irrevocably stuck unless they possess strength scores of 16 or greater.

- Swarming spiders' bites cause 1 hp of damage per hit and inject strangely-acting paralytic poisons. Victims of swarming spider attacks may ignore the poisoning effects of a number of bites equal to the differences between 20 and their Saving Throws vs. Paralysation.

Thus, a 2nd-level fighter with a saving throw vs paralyzation of 14 will be able to ignore six of the spiders' bites before being forced to make a save. The fighter will subsequently make progressively worse saves each time he is struck, and will be automatically paralyzed after the sixth additional bite.

Requiring incorruptible guards that could track and kill those spiders sent to steal into their villas and compounds, the mages' tireless research culminated with their cherished "heretical horrors."
