"YOU WILL BOW!!  YOU WILL BOW TO THE GREAT CATFISH GAWD!!"

"Abner the locals appear to be a might retarded."

"YOU WILL BOW NOW!"

"Bert, if'n he doesn't stop a'spittin' on me when he screams ah want you to hit him in his 'quiet area' with thet axe of yours..."

Catfish Gods are enormous river catfish that grow larger and larger with time, and are worshiped by some primitives as gods.  Many feed them sacrifices after they grow too big to move anymore (though that can take generations).  They are, in fact, Dire Catfish.

Improved Grab (Ex): If the Catfish Gawd successfully hits with it's Bite Attack it may immediately make a Grapple Check as a Free Action without provoking an Attack of Opportunity.  If successful it may then Swallow it's victim or deal it's bite damage.

Swallow Whole (Ex): The Catfish Gawd can Swallow an opponent up to 3 Size Classes smaller than itself with a successful Grapple Check.  The swallowed opponent takes 1d8+4 bludgeoning damage and 1d8 acid damage per round inside the stomach.  It may escape by doing 15 points of damage to the stomach (AC 13) with a light slashing or piercing weapon.  Once it exits, muscular action closes the hole and other swallowed creatures must find their own way out.

Poison Lash (Ex): As a Full Round Action the Catfish can lash it's head back and forth while twisting it's powerful body, possibly hitting everyone in the squares in front of it and to either side.  Every creature in that area must make a DC 18 Reflex Save (Save DC is Strength Based) or take 2d6+4 piercing damage from the Catfish Gawds barbels.  If it is successfully damaged it must also make a DC 19 Fortitude Save (Save DC is Constitution Based) or be poisoned (Initial and Secondary damage is 2d4 Strength).

Blindsense (Ex): While underwater the Catfish God can sense any creature within 30'.

Skills: Catfish Gods have a +8 Racial Bonus on all Swim Checks, and can Always Take 10 on a Swim Check.  They may use the Run Action while swimming in a straight line.

Combat:  Catfish Gawds use their Poison Lash on bigger creatures, or on threats they can't simply swallow.

"What fool through a perfectly good tent in the river?"

"Abner! Abner that ain't no tent!  Abner!!"

Dire Stingrays are unusually large stingrays that are much of concern to any tribes dependent on the jungle rivers they occupy.

Poison Sting (Ex):  The sting in a Dire Stingrays tail is far more deadly than it's smaller cousins.  Injury, DC 24 Fort Save (Save DC is Constitution based), Initial Damage is 2d4 Constitution and Secondary Damage is Paralysis for 2d4 rounds.  Probably not a good thing since you'll be in the water.

Blindsense (Ex): While underwater the Dire Stingray can sense any creature within 30'.

Skills: Dire Stingrays have a +8 Racial Bonus on all Swim Checks, and can Always Take 10 on a Swim Check. Due to being largely the same color as the muddy river waters they live in, Dire Stingrays gain a +4 Racial Bonus to Hide Checks underwater.

Combat: Dire Stingrays attack pretty much the way regular Stingrays do, by charging and lashing with their tail.  Well okay usually regular Stingrays are more subtle or likely to swim away, but these suckers are huge.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jersey_Devil

http://www.strangemag.com/jerseydevil1.html

http://www.prairieghosts.com/jerseydevil.html

Well the Jersey Devil should be fun.  Size and description varies more than the Chupacabra.  Here's a nice sample:

"I looked out upon the Delaware and saw flying diagonally across what appeared to be a large crane, but which was emitting a glow like a fire-fly. Its head resembled that of a ram, with curled horns, and its long thick neck was thrust forward in flight. It had long thin wings and short legs, the front legs shorter than the hind."

It was three feet high... long black hair over its entire body, arms and hands like a monkey, face like a dog, split hooves [...] and a tail a foot long

In general appearance it resembled a kangaroo... It has a long neck and from what glimpse I got of its head its features are hideous. It has wings of a fairly good size and of course in the darkness looked black. Its legs are long and somewhat slender and were held in just such a position as a swan's when it is flying...It looked to be about four feet high

"As nearly as I can describe the terror, it had the head of a horse, the wings of a bat and a tail like a rat's, only longer

“about three and a half feet high, with a face like a collie and a head like a horse. It had a long neck, wings about two feet long and its back legs were like those of a crane and it had horse’s hooves. It walked on its back legs and held up two short front legs with paws on them

He described it as being about six-feet tall with horns and matted black fur. Could this have been the reported Jersey Devil - or some other creature altogether? Irwin stated that he and the creature stared at one another for several minutes before the monster finally turned and ran into

room erupted with screams as the child grew at an enormous rate, becoming taller than a man and changing into a beast which resembled a dragon, with a head like a horse, a snake-like body and bat's wings.
As soon as it was full-grown, the monster began beating all the woman (including his mother) with its thick, forked tail. With a harsh cry, it flew through the chimney and vanished into the storm.

Mr. Evans gave the following account: "It was about three feet and a half high, with a head like a collie dog and a face like a horse. It had a long neck, wings about two feet long, and its back legs were like those of a crane, and it had horse's hooves. It walked on its back legs and held up two short front legs with paws on them. It didn't use the front legs at all while we were watching. My wife and I were scared, I tell you, but I managed to open the window and say, 'Shoo!' and it turned around, barked at me, and flew away".

The Jersey Devil of lore does not look like anything humanoid. It is a creature with the head of a horse, large wings and claws, and has a roughly four-foot-long serpentine body. When a person sees the Devil, he or she sees an omen of disaster to come. According to early legends, its appearances have come before

While the descriptions vary, several factors remain fairly constant. It is commonly described as having a long neck, with wings and hooves. It is often said to have a horse-like head and a tail. The height of the creature varies among sightings from about three feet to more than seven feet. Most sightings also report that the creature has glowing bright red eyes and emits a high, human-like scream

its also been described as a 7 foot tall hairy man

Despite being an outsider (?) it apparently requires food but doesnt age.  It apparently moves faster than possible for an animal and despite its slight size is strong enough to shake cars and fight rooms full of people.  Seems immune to the problems of being exposed to the elements.

This is one of the cryptid versions of the Jersey Devil. The one most commonly described as hooved and winged with a vaguely horselike head and a thin tail.

"Oy! You th' Devil?"

"I've been called that yes."

"Yer boy bin settin' fire to mah chikins again.  Reckon you know why ah'm here."

"Some pathetic, ill-advised attempt at revenge?."

"Nope.  Ah'm here t'set YOR chikins on fire."

"Oh this should be good..."

This is the serpent bodied, ram-horned Jersey Devil with a forked tail. A Devils son.

Glow (Su): The Jersey Devil gives off a bright glow effectively as bright as a Daylight spell permanently centered on it. It automatically fails all Hide checks.

Fiery Aura (Su): Once per week the Devil can use the warm flames version of the
spell Fire Shield as an 8th level Sorcerer.

Harbinger (Su): The Devil is a Harbinger of disaster. Anyone encountering it must
make a DC 16 Willpower Save or take a -2 Profane bonus to all
rolls for 24 hours. Successful Saves render the opponent
immune to this effect for 24 hours.

Combat: The Jersey Devil in this incarnation is much more powerful, leaving burning houses and destruction in it's wake.  It often lights fires as a means of dsicouraging pursuit before fleeing to fight another day.

"Off hand I'd say he's stumbled upon a creative form of suicide old chum."

This is the bigfoot like Devil. A shaggy black furred humanoid with horns.

Okay apparently there are several concepts for the Lukwata. The first is an Elasmosaur (which is already statted out). The second is a 100 foot long serpent. it would basically be the constrictor snake upsized to Colossal size without the constriction attack and about 40 Hit Dice. The third is 12 foot long catfish which you could use the stats for a Large Shark for. The fourth is a gigantic serpent with fire flashing from its eyes that snares people from boats with the tentacles sprouting from its muzzle. Apparently it spends much of its time hunting crocs and lives in swamps, lakes, and rivers.

"Great.  3 drunks in the entire kingdom and I get them on my shift..."

"Hey screw you buddy!  Some flying thing just bit off my ear and pooped down my neck.  I'm entitled to some whiskey..."

The Ahool is either a large bat, a flying primate, or a pterosaur. Stats should be similar just remove the Blindsense if its not a bat.

Skills: The Ahool has a +4 Racial bonus on Spot and Listen checks. This bonus is lost if its Blindsense is negated.

"I say Alfred, our boat seems to be getting attacked by some sort of generic lake monster."

"I must say I've always rather preferred the more specific lake monsters sir."

"Yes, quite."

While doing up cryptid lake monsters I realized most of them are either snake or elasmosaur like, with pretty much similar abilities.  Hence the Generic Lake Monster Template above.  Add weird abilities as necessary.

Skills: Lake Monsters have a +8 racial skill bonus to Swim checks, and may always take 10 on a swim check even if threatened or distracted.

Hold Breath (Ex): A Lake Monster can hold it's breath for 8 times it's Constitution modifier in rounds before it risks drowning.

Combat:  Most Lake Monsters appear, and then simply go away after being seen.  Some are more bitey though...

"Wow...wow your a ... niiiiiice bigfooooot (Jimmy get the shotgun)...."

This is the version of Sasquatch from Joan Ocean's website.

Spell Like Abilities (Sp): At Will: Alter Self, Augury, Calm Emotions, Chain of Eyes, Dancing Lights, Ghost Sound, Messin' with Humans (see below), Stinking Cloud, Ventriloquism 3 times per day: Fear, Divination, Dimension Door once per day: Ethereal Jaunt, Teleport

Rock Throwing (Ex): Bigfoot may throw and catch rocks as a Large Giant (see MM page 119).

Spirit Rocks (Su): The Sasquatch can create spirit rocks that facilitate telepathic communication between themselves and others. Anyone holding a Spirit Rock can initiate telepathic communication with any one other individual holding a Spirit Rock within 1 mile as a Standard Action.

Medicine Wheels (Su): Once per month the Sasquatch can make permanent gates between planes from shells, rocks, and wood and bones. This takes 1d4 days to complete construction and costs 1000 XP. It resembles the Gate spell in all respects but it can only be used for Planar Travel not for calling creatures, and can only be used to travel to the alternate Prime Material Plane where the Sasquatch originate from.

Near Immortality: The Sasquatch are immune to aging effects.

Infrasound Communication (Ex): Sasquatch may communicate with sound outside the normal range of hearing for most species. Only creatures with Blindsight based on Sonar (bats, dolphins, etc) can pick this communication up, and unless they're intelligent (Int 3 or more) and speak Sasquatch they can't really understand it.

Sonar (Ex): Sasquatch have Blindsight 60' as long as they can hear. Any effect that deafens them negates their Blindsight.

Combat: The Sasquatch prefer not to fight, and will usually use their Spell Like Abilities to scare off opponents, or throw rocks till they go away.


Messin' With Humans
Conjuration (Teleportation)
Level: Sorcerer/Wizard 2
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 Standard Action
Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)

By making a DC 20 Caster level check you can actually teleport it onto someone. If you can make a DC 30 Caster level check you can teleport it onto them without their knowledge.
