Description
General
Combat
Pegasi attack with their sharp hooves and powerful bite. Mated
pairs and herds attack as a team, fighting to the death to defend
their eggs and young, which fetch a handsome price in many
civilized areas.
Special Ability
Spell-Like Abilities: Pegasi can detect good and detect evil
at will within a 60-yard radius, as the spells cast by a
5th-level sorcerer.
Skills: Pegasi receive a +4 racial bonus to Listen and Spot
checks.
Pegasus eggs are worth 2,000 gp each on the open market, while
young are worth 3,000 gp per head. Pegasi mature at the same rate
as horses. Professional trainers charge 1,000 gp to rear or train
a pegasus, which serves its master with absolute faithfulness
for life.
Training a pegasus requires a successful Handle Animal check
(DC 22 for a young creature, DC 29 for an adult) and that the
creature be willing. Trainers can reduce the DC by 5 and the
training time by half by using a magic bridle enchanted for the
purpose. A pegasus can fight while carrying a rider, but the
rider cannot also attack unless he or she succeeds at a Ride
check.
Carrying Capacity: A light load for a pegasus is up to 300
pounds; a medium load, 301-600 pounds; and a heavy load, 601-900
pounds.

the phantom fungus to remain invisible even when attacking. This
works just like improved invisibility cast by a 12th-level
sorcerer, and lasts as long as the phantom fungus is alive. This
ability is not subject to the invisibility purge spell. Once
killed, a phantom fungus becomes visible after 1 minute.

Phase spiders dwell and hunt on the Material Plane. Once a

shifts in, bites its victim, and retreats quickly back to the
Ethereal Plane.

again as a move-equivalent action (or during a move-equivalent

Phasms can speak Common but prefer telepathic communication.

If pursued or harassed, a phasm transforms into the most
fearsome creature it knows, such as an adult white dragon or a
fire giant, and attacks. When seriously hurt, it changes to some
fast or agile form and tries to escape.

poison, sleep, paralysis, stun, and polymorph. It is not subject
to critical hits and, having no clear front or back, cannot be
flanked.
Special Ability
Alternate Form (Su): Phasms can assume the form of any
corporeal creature or object from Diminutive to Large size as a
standard action. This ability is otherwise similar to shapechange
as cast by a 20th-level sorcerer.
Special Ability
Telepathy (Su): Phasms can communicate telepathically with any
creature within 100 feet that has a language.
Special Ability
Tremorsense (Ex): A phasm can automatically sense the location
of anything within 60 feet that is in contact with the ground, so
long as it is touching the ground itself.

Description
General
Combat
In battle, a purple worm forms into a coil 15 feet across,
biting and stinging anything within reach.
Special Ability
Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, the purple worm must
hit with its bite attack. If it gets a hold, it automatically
deals bite damage and can attempt to swallow the foe.
Special Ability
Swallow Whole (Ex): A purple worm can try to swallow a grabbed
opponent of Large or smaller size by making a successful grapple
check. Once inside, the opponent takes 2d8+12 points of crushing
damage plus 1d8 points of acid damage per round from the
worm's gizzard. A swallowed creature can climb out of the
gizzard with a successful grapple check. This returns it to the
worm's maw, where another successful grapple check is needed
to get free. A swallowed creature can also cut its way out by
using claws or a Small or Tiny slashing weapon to deal 25 points
of damage to the gizzard (AC 20). Once the creature exits,
muscular action closes the hole; another swallowed opponent must
cut its own way out. The worm's interior can hold two Large,
four Small, eight Tiny, sixteen Diminutive, or thirty-two Fine or
smaller opponents.
Special Ability
Poison (Ex): Sting, Fortitude save (DC 24); initial damage 1d6
temporary Strength, secondary damage 2d6 temporary Strength.
Special Ability
Tremorsense (Ex): A purple worm can automatically sense the
location of anything within 60 feet that is in contact with the
ground.
