Xor Monsters 2 (MM2 & BX)

OK so next will look at MM2, the BX monsters and im looking at the Dragon Creature Catalogs becauses they had some nice planar monsters. I might have trouble getting them because ppl tended to seperate them from mags (ppl like me...).

MM2

Aboleths - awesome critters to live in deeps of Xor

Afanc - big killer fish with 15HD could be handy

Ant lions - someone has to eat those ants

Ascomoid - fungal critters are good

Aspis - insectoids colonised Xor

Basidirond - mobile fighting fungus

Basilisk Greater - i could add more mythic powers including fire breath, poison touch etc

Bat, Mobats are good riding bats, on Xor lots of bats are albinos

Deathwatch Beetle - these really freak out high level players when make those death saves, many a follower in my games has died from these

Slicer beetle - hilarity of limb removing criticals and own funny magic item mirth of incomplete boot and glove sets

Behemoths - are just dire hippos

Behir - love guarding neural chambers and feed of electricity

Boalisk - big smakes but as i said before snakes and worms are a bit confused on Xor

Boggle - kinda pathetic and funny googly eyed guys who scuttle about Xor. The can communicate by ear wiggling

Boobrie - giant bloodthirsty herons with bat membranes instead of feathers

Catfish, giant - more fish monsters

Cave Cricket - eat dead stuff and make monster attracting noises, ones in Jackson's King Kong are awesome

Cave Fisher - wonderful cave and dungeon predators

Cloaker -monsters that pretend to be magic items - dungeon comedy gold

Daemons - In my setting I like DCC having Cthulhu mythos for Nuetral evil but I also like the gygaxian Daemons and there is no reason to have both. In my setting Devils are lawful persecutors of mankind who buy souls and tempt with worldly power and lie like lawyers. They are more likely to have legal battles than fights with angels. Demons are lawless selfish beings who lie as a matter of course and they only pretend to make pacts and contracts till they have the upper hand. Daemons are more into corruption and sadism. They visit Xor mostly to see what demons are up to.

Demodands - are another evil race kin to demons mostly interested in execution and torment rather than persecuting mortals or quibbling over souls.

Derro and morlocks are just evil dwarves in my game but up to no good with strange machines

I accidently put Alu demons and cambion in part one under monster manual mostly because they fit under demons

Dinosaurs - more because you cant have too many also Phororhacos a 7+HD flightles bird

Dragonfly, giant - also good for mounts

Dustdigger - monster are starfish like traps cept on Xor dontt hide under sand, more they disguise selves as floor

Executioners Hood - a good bio trap beast

Fly, giant - good mounts for goblins also produce maggots which goblins farm

Froghemoth - fit in very well

Giant in MM2 especially formarians

Gibbering Mouther - fit in very well

Jelly, Mustard - part of Xorian

Kraken - handy for wet areas and caves

Land Lampreys - because you can never have enough lampreys

Mantis, giant

Modrons - mostly visit Xor to fight demons and Slaad

Mongrel Men - thrive especially when reproductive magic is common

Myconid - fungi men are so much fun

Ophidians - more remnants of snake men exploring Xor long ago

Pedipalps - more arachnid fun

Phcomid - more biological trap

Quasi Elemental Lightning - these hang about in neural clusters

Scorpions - more sizes

Slime, Olive and Slime creatures -

Snakes - more = better

Solifugid - more arachnids

Stegocentipede - more centipedes the better

Tasloi - just tribal goblins who ride wasps

Thri-kreen - one of those awesome monsters

Vulture, giant -  thrive on Xor but only snack on terrain if desperate

Tunnel Worn - vicious invasive predators

Yeth Hounds - creepy cool scary

Yuan Ti - remnants of hybrid serpent men civilization

Zygom - can grow in diseased or weakened Xor flesh

BX - AC9 and Cyclopedia versions
A few variations of monsters have always puzzled me in dnd. Bees, ants for a start. Yetis are white apes with ice powers. Devil swine make my top ten monsters and kinda a afterthought in 2nd ed. I like how the BX creature catalogue AC9 lists monsters in sections like animals, magic, humanoids, etc. Has a good undead section too. Some of these in a 2nd ed Mystara monster folio too.Drakes are interesting. Some monsters have slightly silly abstract names while i prefer descriptive names like winged ape to Tabi.

Oyster Giant - also good for clams because every pool might have tentacles or clams. Aquatic and land versions

Snake Rock Rattler

Gargoyle, Iron

Golem - Amber, Bone, Bronze, Rock, Silver all fun - never got why these not in adnd - bone and amber main type in Xor and as mentioned before Flesh

Juggernaut -usually animated siege machines of stone and wood but on Xor stone is meat and wood is bone instead

Bhut - fabulous undead-lycanthrope horrors

Crone of Chaos - sort of a witch or lesser hag brought in by demons to corrupt Xor

Gatormen - pretty horrible beastman type with 7HD - similar elephant beastman too - i just use my Abhuman class but id not considered these beastmen before. 4HD turtlemen too. Evil wizard

Giant Amoeba - 10-15 HD gelatinous blobs

Jellyfish, giant - I have aquatic and floating varieties

Leviathan Worms - 60-70 HD freaking awesome and the AC9 book makes them look a bit like giant dicks, also Red Worms 2HD, Slime Worms 10HD

Aranea - sentient evil spiders

Brain Collectors - tentacled brain eaters who steal abilities of consumed brains visit Xor from another dimension

Decapus - horrible pube covered ten tentacled land octopuses

Tabi - Horrible hairy winged chaos ape men brought by demons to Xor, locals find hair repulsive

Beetles - Tiger bugs not in Adnd, im tempted to make them beserkers

Devil Fish - BX name for Ixlthlatlwatsits chaos manta rays....a bit simpler

Dinosaur Stat System in cyclopedia is a lot simpler with generic types instread of as many species as Adnd has

Gargantua - titan carrion crawlrs, gargoyles and trolls are pretty awesome (sadly I dont have a Oriental Adventures anymore which has mega apes, lizards and bugs with 50 odd HD)

Gargoyle description actually says they are made by wizards and other details not in MM

Golem - Obsidian and mud here too

Gremlins are interesting and I like their luck powers otherwise goblin like, I pefer to make them 6 inches tall and sneak into adventurers stuff to sabotage them. Adnd Jermalaine are hella more creepy but I would make them a sub type.

Insect Swarm in basic rules is pretty good

Leech Giant - handy

Lizards - include some extra types not in Adnd

Giant Locusts - come to graze hair  on Xor

Lycanthropes - a very good selection including devil swine sent by hell to cause trouble

Manscorpion

Mujina - blank faced creatures use illusions to make faces

Robber Fly - giant stinging flies

Salamander - fire and frost types and my prefered version of this monster being lizard like

Living Statues - I would add meat and bone statues possibly keratin

Toads - A good selection of toad types

NEXT
making basic encounter tables for terrain and dungeons

Xor Monsters 1 (MM and FF)

I actually don't really like new monsters very often and have been tempted to do my own edited monster manual leaving out about a two thirds of 1st ed adnd monsters. I have started a project like this but happy to take a few years to do this, I prefer re skinning monsters and i thing half non racial monsters should be one offs. So here is my notes on Xorian monster manual with notes on possible new monsters. At this stage this is just notes. Im still debating if Xorians have normal earth skin colours.

Reading glasses have got me reading lots of stuff again - didn't realize how shot my eyesight was. Had been so fussy over layout and font size partly from this. Also this Hotspring Island kickstarter looks pretty good https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/pandesmos/the-swordfish-islands-hot-springs-island-an-rpg-he

Lots of monsters will be Xorified by hairlessness and chamo for life on Xor. A few tentacles and mutations help too.

Im not too familiar with system ref coc but might cull or re create some. Any help on this appreciated Will build encounter tables with these.

Hairlessness is common.
Most animals eat meat and herbivores eat hair.
Local creatures will graze on Xor directly but then risk attracting antibodies or immune system so locals only eat Xor in desperation and then tend to move. Plenty of Xor excreta, dead skin. bones, hair are all fair game.

I really wish robots and androids made the cut in these books, we would have had decades more interesting dnd gaming.

Monster Manual 1As the original monster book this has the basics. I wish more related animals were grouped and giant or dire being a mod on basic stats was a good idea in later editions but done in a overly complex way.

Anhkheg - giant insect flesh boring parasite

Ant, giant - these are fine but i like bigger ones in BX and titanic arts welcome. Poison inch ants pretty cool. natives use ants for food and for sutures.

Ape - hairless baboons, gorillas and carnivorous apes all welcome

Axe beaks, flightless birds - one of the more common riding animals

Badger - ok but giant ones that burrow in bone and flesh better

Baluchitherium - might have houses on top

Barracuda, giant gar, giant pike, sharks - reskinned as aquatic predators living in Xor's fluid banks

Basilisk - more serpentine but wear tiny crowns, pollute area, anyone who strikes one is poisoned, might use standard one also

Bear - bears are fine and hairless but also can be used as generic  animal and i like to use for giant hairless mole rats

Hippopotamus - dine on hair and wallow in fluids - can reskin as giant pigs too

Horses or mules are bought by outsiders but tiny dog size prehistoric hairless breeds live in hair covered areas

Hydra - often guard fluid filled caverns

Hyena - hairless, but additional breed laughter causes confusion, shapechange into humans and mimic voices.

Ixitxachitl - demon rays live in depths worshiping demons, normal rays appear too

Jackals - pick scraps and are hairless

Jackalwere - come to Xor for free feed

Jaguar, lion, lynx, tiger, cheetah, all hairless and sphynx cat like

Lamia - attracted to free feed, many are hairless bald and mutated but not all

Lamprey, Leech - common in fluids of Xor

Larvae dwell on Xor brought by demons and night hags

Leopards - release stinking clouds from behind and love murder, hairless

Mindflayers or just squid men or octopi men if trademark issues

Peryton - hairless and featherless with batlike membrane wings

Piercer - many resemble teeth

Purple Worm - hell yeah!

Rakshasa - i prefer more hindu ones - good article in Dragon (70-100?), they invade xor for food and curiosity, many multiple headed

Rat - most are hairless and mole rats more common. I like various sizes and reskin bears a lot for them

Rhino - huge fleshy rhinos for sure

Rust monsters - Xor breeds them when intruders with metal offend Xor to remove metal

Ropers lurk in subdermal areas especially digestive tract areas

Salamander - I like BX salamanders more - i would call adnd ones fire demons, mostly brought by demons or wizards

Skunk, giant - stink butt weasels

Slug, giant - common and eat dead skin

Snakes - all fine but more sting worm like - many grow from nerve spinal tissue from dead animals - more like weird medieval ideas of snakes. Standard snakes in fleshtone ok too. Many are types with head each end. Snakes cal roll into circles and roll.

Shambling mounds grow in digestive waste areas and more fungal than plant

Scorpions and spiders and ticks, giant - hell yeah

Stirge - many spawned from hives by Xor as population control

Titans - often sleeping, have been on Xor for aeons

Titanothere - like rhinos really

Toad - all fine just change colours

Trapper - bio traps but change damage more like lurker above - not fan of micro rule change monsters - too many in FF

Troglodytes - are great but introduce a ugly mammalian humanoid caveman ike breed also

Umber Hulk - awesome

Wasp, giant - attracted to Xor for food, hunted by Xorian immune system

Water Weird - tracted to filthy pools

Weasel - blood sucking beasts are hairless

Whale - swim in seas of Xor usually flesh coloured, often horned and toothed

Wolf, and Dire wolf - hairless after a few generations on Xor and used by goblins

Wyvern - bony and wattled horrors

Undead are rare and unwelcome on Xor made by invading necromancers

Fiend FolioAs I have generic beast men and most FF monsters are kinda weird and fill specific niches but here we go. Too many monsters with micro systems like asphyxiation because rules on everything less consistent. Are some biological monsters in the book but mechanically so complex i can't be bothered. I like the book and the art but for my purposes here not so great.

Babbler and Bonesnapper - mini dinosaurs are ok, babblers are mutant lizard men and fairly smart

Bat, giant, doombat, - rats with wings and sonar really but giant vampire bats and bigger riding bats for goblins are a must. More bat monsters would be cool. Flightless hunting bats in book after man are awesome and make good evil mounts. doombats are great but not so good as mounts with area effect attacks

Bloodworm - fine as they are and fill a role

Bullywugs are just frog beast men
Crabmen are just crab beast men

Dark Creepers, Dark stalkers - are a pretty dangerous lost humanoid and deserve more use. I think of them as a alternate rare goblinoid or dark faerie race. On Xor they dwell in the depths.

Death dogs, Devil dogs - death dogs cause knock and have multiple heads, devil dogs are fast can cause fear and can inflict bleeding crits - Id probably have the effect double damage and/or 1hp/round blood loss which could make fights interesting. Mechanically dated modified dogs mostly.

Ettercaps - a great monster probably unwelcome on Xor and dwell in the depths

Fire Toads - big fun but why they keep treasure I don't get

Flailsnails - cool

Flumphs - I like them for some reason and often trick players into fighting them. I imagine a paladin standing on one using as a floating disk

Giants - more giants ok

Githyanki - might visit and build a fort

Grell - probably the most likely to be part of Xor in the book

Hellcats - spies from hell who manipulate people into fighting demons

Hook Horror  - another owlbear but i like them

Kamadan - another monster i just like

Nilbogs, Norker - goblin kin

Penanggalan - undead not too common but these fit in well

Slaad - might visit Xor to see what demons up to

Trolls -these are all ok

Volt - creepy masses of metallic pubes with tail and electric pulses that live in Xors nerve system

MM2 and Cyclopedia next

d100 Monsters Last Words

Monsters have feelings too and it is totally legit to make your players feel bad for murdering monsters or doubt it or revel in it.

(Thank you and inspired to make this list Chris P who also recommended these)

Marvelous meat dungeon in the making

Some working art. Will add up and down holes possibly use  room 5 for some passages to second level but difficult to get to.

Living dungeons are like coral reefs were in Australia, full of life and wonders. Any vacant space will be repopulated. Creatures come and go using the random encounter table. Also good to restock dungeon but a roll each ten minutes with a 1in6 chance of a encounter.

Pigmen rule most of level and use goblin and kobold workers to fill their magic offal wallowing pit.

Jellies are part of the dungeon immune systems cleaning up trash.

The snails eat all sorts of rubbish including parasites like humanoids.

Rust monsters have learned to live off blood of Xor which is rich in oxidised iron. They are a bit skinny for normal and flatulent from the blood elements they cant subsist off. Their tails can strike for a d10 damage.

Centipedes crawl in the cube to gorge themselves and ambush other living creatures or persons. Stirge are like regular bats in this dungeon.They are bloated and fat sacks of blood and slower than most breeds. They can drop from roof or crawl from flesh folds in floor improving their defense.

Doppelgangers are fleshy horrors that can fuse with the meat walls and pass through them. This only works here and is a trick feat they have learned by mimicking systems of the cube. They tend the cube and make it comfortable for monsters.

Ghouls come here because the food is infinite and they can aggravate necrotic wounds which taste better than healthy living flesh. The cube does not welcome then and is trying to expunge them.

Adventurers are the worst predator as they slaughter and enslave and smash everything.

d10 Quick Adventurer mood
1 Fresh and friendly will see you later
2 Battered and seek allegiance
3 Declare they saw this dungeon first and have a licence
4 Hate party just competitive bullies, pick a fight
5 Tell you to get out of our dungeon or surrender
6 Laugh madly and attack for kicks
7 Offer to let you leave alive if you hand over everything
8 Greedy and seek to murder party by surprise or betrayal
9 Follow you and will try to surprise you
10 Will sexually harass and follow you catcalling and leering funny

Will get formula right and produce more levels

One person said I need more weird monsters (Chad!) rather than "DnD" monsters. Id rather have them adapted to the setting or represent certain types more. Or even just skinning.

All monsters creepily flesh or skin coloured, hairless, featherless and wrinkly

Except elves they are totally hot but possibly bald with smooth skin, everyone hates them

Do meat dragons look like creepy fleshy saggy horrors that vomit up acid?

I could make monsters up but i tend not to use them as much as i should.

Will be a layer with nerve-electrical system and a wandering nerve hub that runs digestive processes

Your ideas and suggestions welcome

Major Rewrite of my EMO DND

So ive been on a major rewrite of my retroclone dnd game system. A few reasons.I have been tacking bits on for over four years and some content not used for years so cut out. I want it to be faster for a new player or walk in one off to have a ready character. I want to streamline choices, especially some that have caused confusion or slowed character gen down. I have see a few sub systems and mini games for mechanics I like and want to adopt. Simplify some sub systems which will also reduce record keeping.

My game is basic DnD with a version of late adnd proficiency system added on. Mostly like the original OA system with some ideas from later version feats added in. I like to use skill system and build thieves and monks around being skill specialist classes rather than they all have same abilities. Warriors get the best use of exotic combat skills.

So I have done some basic classes with rogue and warrior done pretty well. Conceptually have sub classes or examples of quick build kits to make quick characters possible. Will include basic equipment, starting weapons, skills, spells and plus a list for additional skills to choose from to streamline beginner choices.

After putting most of player gen tables on two a4 landscape sheets has been handy so more stuff in this format. Experienced players use this entirely instead of the more wordy version.

Have started lansdcape version of skill lists and culled a third of the skills seldom used or mostly abused. Will write short descriptions of each and then use revised list to build the various class varients which should be easier. Three hour bus trip was handy here.

Revised spell lists describing spells in more detail in landscape by types and level. Will do a basic elf and bard list seperate to the arcane/divine/nature list choices ive let them pick from before before (might let them as an option or for sub types).

Might need to make Planet psychon version of character samples, possibly use my mentalist/psionics spell lists more. I have plans to make a mutant and machine spell list to. Robot one worked out ok but i never did higher levels in detail. The submersible player robot who could turn into a moped was pretty cool. He was always collecting parts for spares or build a follower or girlfriend. Cant go wrong right?

I do like modern idea of less save improvements or classes specializing in only a few. Ive been using stats for saves and skill rolls which is good but i think some scale of mods and penalties would be good as most saves better than half and sensory skill rolls a bit easy, especially when multiple members have skill. Also I like players being able to try things out without a skill but 1/2 chance a bit generous. Secret doors too easy to spot so a list of example difficulty mods handy.

Tempted to replace halflings or gnomes with goblins or allow their example builds to make different little people to make goblins, barn trolls, hedge folk, faeries, etc. Im pretty happy the way my Abhuman class can be used to make beast men, barbarians, rock men or orcs. My changeling super malleable too so gnome and halflings need to get this useful or go. I do kinda like he way a halfling and a bunch of followers turn into rock hurling machine guns that mow down enemies.

Paladin and rangers work as fighter builds. Barbarian has more in common with my beast men than fighters (human beast men?). Assassin is fine as a rogue/theif build. If i build more classes they need to fill rolls between other classes and do new things. Also that specialize in my mentalist spell list. New classes not a high priority.

Current favorite ideas for classes include

Mystic - uses mentalist list and competent at fighting or spells. Like the modern versions of assassins with spells. Somewhere between a monk-assassin and spell caster for humans. Good for cults, holy hit men, weird martial art sects and other weirdos.

Alchemist - materialist spell casters who spend gold and make potions instead of memorise spells. Will have own spell list. Was a dragon issue (121?) with a class like this i really liked. Lot like wizards and sorcerers physically.

Shaman - related to priests and possibly called exorcists in civilised church hierarchies. A a bit like shukenja in OA a priestly type who is less into combat and has astral travel/spirit sight abilities instead of turning. Possibly use psionics list or priest for ones in hierarchical institutions. Like alt priests now might get a non turning power, possibly shaman could have alt ability like prophecy. Ancient diviners sects would often be parallel to priest hoods not actually part of them. Partly to create a less flighty priest. Clerics i see as pretty much Templars and make paladins unappealing. This class will make me develop spirits as a more frequent type of entity.

.Witches i have thought about for a long time and i liked the dragon one with the Elmore art. I have considered letting them use every spell list including the alchemy and mentalist list.

I did have a system where you make a alignment oath every level and get a taboo. In return you slowly got spells which could make a fighter a paladin or ranger but also allowed wizards of chaos or light. Might be worth including. The first four levels you just get cantrips till you first proper lv1 spell at 5th so not too game breaking and makes alignment have a function.

Classes plus example "sub-classes" or schools will allow lots of variety and quick choices

So each will have starting proficiency slots, spells and equipment listed
Ive considered offering a bonus random proficiency for choosing a type also

eg:

Mostly ideas at this stage - could do rest of the classes i use like - halfling, gnome, abhuman, changeling, giant,

Abhumans were Beastmen but i found they could include all kinds of semi human beefcake. Will include barbarian, orc, beast men, element and mineral and plant men, ice men, etc. Play proved this class very flexible base to play with. Changelings did too with animal, plant and other weird versions.

Im open to ideas

sadly i will have to get a version of word running again - slightly better at consistent tables and pdfs

Hacking the classics: Eye Tyrant

Ive rarely used beholders. Even though i was fond of them the ridiculous numbers of versions of them is over the top for a rare creature. But if mostly customized and one off variety seems workable. Id rather make each unique and not a true species. As I have a low level spell to create flying eyeball spies, beholders id rather be creatures of chaos created with high level spells. A mid range floating eye which fires a single spell fx would be nice too. A friendless, handless bunch of arseholes are not going to have a civilization. More like abandoned pets of wizards with no friends. As i generally use Wikipedia descriptions over official monsters so i made these eyes up for my games. A hat tip to Doom and Warlords PC games too.

Eye Spies

AC11 HDd4 MV12" (Flight) ATT:- Morale 1 Neutral
These are spies that float high in dungeon ceilings and keep a look out. The can see in the dark but they dint hear so well. They flee if noticed and are incapable of harming anybody. About a foot wide. They cannot speak but can squeak urgent yes no answers a experienced owner can understand (has Jordie the kobold fallen down a well?). They have no means to where masters are but will report to masters lair, last known position or possibly to known companion of the master. Most are created by a spell. Some are found wild and some are beginner wizard familiars. The are as smart as a typical person. Ideal for scouting a dungeon, watching during a rest, forming a perimeter around a party, finding something in your kingdom. They feed of magical energies ambient to the plane. Five can carry one unburdened wizard bt a bit precarious but looks cool if you practice. Sometimes due to bad instructions you find a few waiting in a dead end or lost. I still use ADnD inches for range 1"=10 foot indoors or yards outdoors.

Eye Wizard Spells
First level version creates one per level of the caster that last a ten minute turn per level
Second level version creates a permanent one
Third level version creates a temporary one per level of the caster  
Third level version creates a temporary one with a 120" range mindlink that knows where creator is
Third level version spell creates a temporary one that can cast a cantrip (known to caster) at will
Fourth level spell that makes a permanent version of cantrip caster handy for magic chores like lighting candles or cleaning. 

Eye Fiends

AC14 HD3 MV12" (Flight) ATT: by spell Morale 7 Nuetral
These more advanced horrors make excellent guards and make good support for your orc guards who fear them. Each has a possible first level spell like effect it can cast based on spells known by caster. These are the most common.

d4
1 Burning Eye Fiend - Burning hands 10 foot cone 1d4+3, save for half damage every second round
2 Shooting Eye Fiend - Fires a d6+1 magic missile per round
3 Sleeping Eye Fiend - spell but only 3 shots then dies
4 Electric Eye Fiend -1d8+3 with a touch but must ram and make attack roll

Eye Wizard Spells 
Third level version spell creates a temporary that lasts one round per level
Fifth level version summons a permanent eye fiend

Eye Terror

AC16 HD6 MV12" (Flight) ATT: bite 2d4 or by fireball Morale 9 Chaotic Evil
These are a larger guard beasts but less used as they are stupid, violent and indiscriminate about using powers. They tend to attack anything that come in area even shooting at each other or masters if startled. Scream at each other frequently. They shoot a fireball (4d6 1" wide 6" rage, save for half damage). Some rare variants use cold rays (4d4+4 cone 3" rage, save for half damage)  or lightning bolts (4d6 effects one target 9" rage, save for half damage) but need a different spell. Some distinguish them as infernal eye, storm eyes and frost eyes. Each type is immune to same types attack. Wizards must be careful as while good guards and search destroy monsters their trigger happy nature makes them attack master if surprised. Making them stop once frenzied is very hard. Even wearing a diferent hat or robes confuses them.

Eye Wizard Spells 
Fourth level version summons a eye terror for one round per level
Sixth level version summons a permanent one

Eye Master

AC18 HD10 MV12" (Flight) ATT: 2d4 bite/ram or by spell Morale 9 Lawful Evil
A huge eyeball one and a half yards across. Have clusters of smaller eyes on tentacles or stalks. These are the largest and are geniuses and most difficult to control. They take commands literally and are capable of betrayal and murder. They speak creators language, common and Diabolic. Once they kill a master they are free to do a they please. They also require flesh unlike more basic versions. Once free they find a lair and mostly kill and eat everything they can. They would like to be bullies and in charge but tend to eat vassals and drive rest away. Not very considerate of slaves needs. They will work with lesser eyes but quarrel with own kind, displaying jealousy and paranoia. They can be placated by offering them a crown briefly.

Eye Wizard Spells
Eight level spell summons one, they cooperate for a time getting a saving throw every day after the first to revolt. They might hang around to betray master at opportune moment. Happy to swear oaths of loyalty with qualifiers ("I will serve you as long as you are my true master"). Every extra eye lord created makes rest get a save to resist creators control. Lots of wizards never get a chance to repeat this spell.

The great Eye God
A wizard tried to summon a greater eye thing once and the huge eye dominated every being with mental control and made them worship it. Only great heroes managed to kill it after ruining a kingdom. Many starved while worshiping or died of exposure as the great eye demanded worshipers go skyclad. Presumably there is a dimension full of magical eyes.

One wizard summoned eye men with great eyeballs for heads. The abhumans were snappy dressers, mostly silent and up to mysterious things. When wizard died the eye men scattered to parts unknown.

Eye creatures with mental powers notably telekinesis and telepathy grow in macrobe colonies, directing giant mindless horrors and spreading colonies. The attach themselves to things and uses servants to move them or TK each other about (dragon mag gamma world moon article).

Alchemists have managed to create eyes also and have put in potion bottles ready to use by smshing them.

Because of the horrors that some eye wizards created their kind were hunted and killed by mobs but their books and scrolls remain.
