Goblins are done.  I can do the races that only receive brief mention such as the Moon Men, or I can move on to monsters your choice.

[bhu]

ooookay I guess Monsters it is then.

Savage creatures vaguely resembling boars, the Razorbacks are mountains of muscle as large as the largest cattle.  Domesticated (barely) by the Barbarian tribes, the Razorbacks will attack and eat anything.  If pressed they'll devour bone and strip trees.

Ferocity (Ex): Razorbacks can fight normally even when disabled or dying.
  
Combat: Razorbacks generally charge, and then rip into their opponent.  Some of them begin eating opponents even before they're dead.

Tuskers are larger, more ill-tempered cousins of the Razorbacks with nose horns and smaller tusks.

Powerful Charge (Ex): A Tusker does 2d8+16 damage with a successful Charge attack.

Combat: TUskers aren't all that much difference from Razorbacks.

Distant cousins of the Razorbacks, the Behemoths are mountains of muscle and bone.  Think of giant carnivorous rhinos with tusks instead of horns.

Powerful Charge (Ex): A Behemoth does 4d8+20 damage with a successful Charge attack.

Frightful Presence (Ex): Whenever a Behemoth bellows or performs a Charge attack, all living opponents within 30' must make a DC 15 Willpower Save (Save DC is Charisma based with a +4 Racial Bonus) or be Shaken for the duration of the encounter.

Combat: Again, the Behemoths aren't much different from their smaller cousins.

Carnodons are vicious reptilian predators ridden into battle by the Goblins, little more than a stomach and massive horned head on two clawed legs.

Quick (Ex): Carnodons take no Armor Class Penalty when performing a Charge Attack.

Light Boned (Ex): Carnodons take an additional 1d6 damage from Bludgeoning weapons or impacts such as falling.

Combat: Carnodons are simple creatures.  They charge at anything within range that might be food.

Necrodons lack the horn of their Necrodon cousins, but are far, far bulkier, which enables them to carry Orc riders.

Savage Bite (Ex): The Necrodons Bite Attack threatens a Critical on a Natural 19-20.

Combat: Necrodons pretty much share the tactics of their smaller Carnodon cousins.

Carnosaurs are massive bipedal reptiles with immense clawed forearms, spiked backs, and horrible breath.  They are equally famous for their incredible endurance, and their hair trigger temper, sometimes going berserk in battle.  Surgical operations to remove their back spikes to fit howdahs for their riders don't improve this much.

Frightful Presence (Ex): Whenever a Carnosaur bellows or performs a Charge attack, all living opponents within 30' must make a DC 15 Willpower Save (Save DC is Charisma based with a +4 Racial Bonus) or be Shaken for the duration of the encounter.

Frenzy (Ex): If a Carnosaur is injured in battle and has no rider to restrain it it immediately becomes subject to Frenzy (see Complete Warrior page 35).
 
Combat: Carnosaurs roar and charge.  Honestly the frutes are too dumb for much else.

Necrosaurs are gigantic quadrupedal reptiles with heavy bony armor and an overpowering stench crewed by a howdah of Orc warriors.

Frightful Presence (Ex): Whenever a Necrosaur bellows or performs a Charge attack, all living opponents within 30' must make a DC 28 Willpower Save (Save DC is Charisma based with a +4 Racial Bonus) or be Shaken for the duration of the encounter.

Stench(Ex): Any living creature (other than Orcs an Goblins they've grown used to this) within 10' of a Necrosaur must make a DC 33 Fortitude Save (Save DC is Constitution based) or be Sickened 1d6+4 minutes.  Creatures immune to poison do not need to Save, and Remove or Neutralize Poison will help victims of this ability.

Combat: Necrosaurs generally wade into melee attacking as many opponents as they can with their bite and tail.  They're too difficult to control to get them to do otherwise.

Gorathosaurs are Carnosaurs infused with the power of the Orcs foul God, enabling to spit blinding gobs of acid, and gifting them with intelligence close to that of the Orcs.

Frightful Presence (Ex): Whenever a Gorathosaur bellows or performs a Charge attack, all living opponents within 30' must make a DC 18 Willpower Save (Save DC is Charisma based with a +4 Racial Bonus) or be Shaken for the duration of the encounter.

Rage (Ex): When wounded in battle a Gorathosaur is subject to Rage (see page 25 of the PHB).

Spit Acid (Ex): Once every 1d4 rounds a Gorathosaur may spit a ball of acid affecting one 5' square at a range of up to 60'.  Victims in the square take 8d6 acid damage (DC 25 Reflex Save for half damage, Save DC is Constitution based).

Combat: Gorathosaurs tend to open with their acid before charging.  Unless the rage takes them they are capable of rudimentary tactics, making them far more problematic than the average beast.

Titanosaurs are the biggest of the Orc warbeasts, often large enough to carry siege equipment, and paired together as a charging engine of destruction.  Their bodies are often reinforced with metal armor and spikes to enhance their already incredible power.  They appear as enormous 4 legged versions of the Carnodons.

Frightful Presence (Ex): Whenever a Titanosaur bellows or performs a Charge attack, all living opponents within 30' must make a DC 28 Willpower Save (Save DC is Charisma based with a +4 Racial Bonus) or be Shaken for the duration of the encounter.

Trample (Ex): DC 40 Reflex Save for half damage, Save DC is Strength Based.

Combat: Titanosaurs are held in reserve as siege engines.  If they must enter battles they tend to charge the front lines and begin trampling foes.

Darkwings are leathery winged toadlike reptiles with vicious beaks and stubby legs.  They have a reputation for always being hungry, and sometimes they love flesh so much their riders cannot control them well enough to prevent them eating downed opponents.

Tear (Ex): When a Darkwing successfully attacks an opponent Denied their Dexterity Bonus to AC they do +1d6 damage.

Combat: Dark wings attack and retreat until their opponent is weakened and then they swoop in for the kill, devouring it while it is still alive sometimes.

[bhu]

I just need to do CR and fill out the abilities and that batch of critters is done.

[bhu]
