Hairbeasts (also known as Dire Hairs) are strange critters that seem to be composed entirely of hair. What they eat, how they reproduce, and how they came to be is virtually unknown. They are trainable as mounts, but their handlers don't seem very keen to give up their secrets as to how to train them, or what they might know of their origin. Hairbeasts apparently understand commands in Common, but cannot speak. They have been known to howl, bark, purr, or growl though.

Yorp! (Ex): If the Hairbeast makes a successful touch attack it is considered to be grappling it's opponent. It's hairs work their way into it's opponents eyes and facial orifices during grapples, and each round the grapple is maintained the opponent must make a DC 14 Fortitude Save (Save DC is Constitution based) or be Blinded and Sickened for as long as the Grapple continues and for 1d3 rounds thereafter (he also cannot speak for the duration of the grapple and 1 round thereafter). The Hairbeast does 1d4 damage with a successful grapple as well. Hairbeasts may use their Yorp! attack as part of a charge.

Blind (Ex): Hairbeasts are blind, and are effectively immune to any attack or effect that requires them to be able to see.

Combat: Hairbeasts charge into the grapple, and begin wrasslin'. Sometimes they get bored and take off, but generally you better escape the hold and run.

"Bert…Bert there's this weird blue/green bug eating my boot…it's a really big bug Bert…"

Spellcasters are prone to madness after all. One of the worst is the Evil Minion competition. All competitors take a common monster, and manipulate it into what they consider the perfect evil minion. This most recent competition involved the Umber Hulk (you can already see where this is going bad). Professor Nwakuche's entry is a bluish-green Hulk that's only a scant 2 feet 6 inches tall, and weighing in at 50 pounds at most. It's Charming Gaze and stealth due to it's small size make it quite useful. Unfortunately the Teal Hulk's rapid reproductive rate, and tendencies to swarm makes up for it's advantages. Teal Hulks speak Terran.

Charm Gaze: Charm Monster as per the spell, 30', Willpower DC 12 negates, Caster Level equal to Hit Dice, Save DC is Charisma Based.

Combat: Teal Hulks try to usually Charm opponents, and get them to help out the Hive before sending them on their way or using them to feed the young. If the gaze attack doesn't work they swarm the outsider and begin biting his legs furiously.

"Wow…that's the freakiest bug thing ah evah did see. Hey Bert you 'spose he's friendly? Bert? Uh oh…"

Professor Butler had often taken a lot of bad jokes based on his name. A lot. As a result he often suffered from crushing depression. Then he heard about the minion contest. Soon all would feel his depression! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Sienna hulks are tall, thin yellow-brown Hulks standing roughly 12 feet tall but weighing only 500 pounds or so. Not as intelligent as the Umber Hulk, their gaze is a bit more powerful causing opponents to succumb to despair. Unfortunately close proximity to his new minions caused Professor Butler to kill himself. The Sienna Hulks ate him, and proceeded to kill off his students.

Despairing Gaze: Crushing Despair, 30', Willpower Save DC 20 negates, Save DC is Charisma based.

Combat: Sienna Hulks fight pretty similarly to a regular Umber Hulk. They do rely more on their gaze to soften up opponents though.

*Cumbrous Fortitude, Irresistible Gaze are from Savage Species.

"Hahahahaha!!! Thats the fattest Hulk I've ever seen! Oh crap…Oh crap, dude, I think we made him angry!"

Professor Esther had long been teased about her weight. After years it had gotten to the point where she decided to show people in the competition not only was big okay, it was better. And to some extent she was right. Her minions were a bit tougher than the usual Hulk. But she didn't realize increased mass meant increased appetite. Fortunately she wasn't around for the eating spree, but her students weren't so lucky. Magenta hulks are a light purplish red. While they stand no taller than a regular Hulk they weigh almost half again as much. They speak Terran.

Rebuking Gaze: Greater Rebuke, 30', Willpower Save DC 18 negates, Save DC is Charisma based. (Greater Rebuke may be found in Spell Compendium)

Combat: magenta Hulks soften their opponents up with their Gaze and then move in. They're pretty much like normal Hulks, but their hunger leads them to try to eat any downed victims, often taking at least one of them out of the combat if they kill an opponent.

Professor Jingang's headquarters were underwater, making her somewhat upset over the choice of a very non water traveling race for the competition. But she adapted. Aquamarine Hulks are a pale blue water dwelling species of Hulk with fins and pulsing gills and what have you. Normal Hulks get sick looking at them for some reason. They just don't get along. Aquamarine Hulk speak Aquan.

Skills: Aquamarine Hulks get a +8 Racial Bonus on all Swim Checks, and may always Take 10 on a Swim Check. They may use the Run Action while swimming in a straight line.

Combat: Aquamarine Hulks prefer hit and run tactics to stand up fighting, especially since they usually are able to take more advantage of their environment than invading adventurers.

"Dude…dude do you smell cherries??"

Professor Zvonko had always liked cherries, and his entry to the minion competition both smell and look like them. Wanting minions perfect for keeping pests away from his cherry bushes. The Cerise Hulks Fear gaze makes it perfect for this role. They otherwise seem like regular Hulks, and speak Terran.

"Hey Abner…member how maw allus told us not to pee on the electric fence…it goes for bugs too…"

Professor Gorm didn't want some namby pamby gaze attacking Hulk for his entry. Gaze attacks were for sissies. He wanted to breed them out of his creation and make them tougher. Real minions don't need range. His plans backfired, and his minions now shoot ball lightning, probably as a result of his using massive amounts of electricity in his experiments making them. Nor are they tougher than regular Hulks. Fortunately the electrical burns to his kidneys could be regenerated. Cerulean Hulks speak Auran.

Lightning Gaze (Sp): The Cerulean Hulk may cast Orb of Electricity at will as a Spell-Like Ability. Caster Level is equal to Hit Dice.

Combat: Cerulean Hulks just sit back and blast away with their electrical powers. They're kinda lazy tactically for Hulks.

"Dude…Dude it's an army of teeny bug monsters. That's hysterical. Why are they looking at us and laughing?"

Chartreuse Hulks are small Hulks a little bit smaller than a cat. Created by professor Mechelina for the contest for no better reason than she was required to enter a minion, and she was really really stoned (Hey, she's a Wizard. They're weird critters.). Not having any real idea of what they were or what they did she still went to introduce them the day of the contest only to find out they'd decided to nest in the college's solarium, and weren't leaving for anyone or anything. Eventually forced to leave after a massive extermination campaign they are now firmly ensconced in a nearby marsh.

Force Gaze: The Chartreuse Hulks Swarm Attacks do Force damage.

Skills: Chartreuse Hulks have a +8 Racial Bonus to Climb checks, and may always take 10 on a Climb check.

Combat: Chartreuse Hulks are more intelligent than most swarms, which makes them a little more dangerous than the average swarm. But their tactics are still pretty limited to the traditional swarm attack.

"Abner…that purple hill over there ain't a hill…think we should be runnin' now…"

Professor Baketaten had always thought bigger was better her whole life. So it was inevitable when given a chance to create an evil minion she would go for a giant. A purple giant. A purple giant with a liiiittle teeeny brain. The Fuschia Hulk is the only known example of it's kind, and the world should thank the gods for it. He's not particularly bright, and seems to understand common, but has never spoken or made any real attempt at communication. he was eventually turned loose in the wild because the professors realized he would be dangerous to keep, but couldn't bring themselves to put the big lug down. The Fuschia Hulk is a chubby purplish Hulk standing roughly 100' tall.

Eyebeam: Once every 1d4 rounds the Fuschia Hulk may unleash an Eyebeam that is a ranged touch attack doing 20d6 fire damage. Range is 500'.

Trample: DC 70 Reflex Save for half damage.

Frightful Presence (Ex): Whenever the Fuschia Hulk attacks or charges all living beings within 150' must make a DC 60 Willpower Save (Save DC is Charisma Based), or be Frightened for 4d6 rounds if it has less Hit Dice (opponents with equal orr greater Hit Dice are Shaken instead). If the Save is successful the opponent is immune to the Fuschia Hilk's Frightful Presence ofr 24 hours.

Combat: The Fuschia Hulk rarely initiates combat, and seems lost in thought most of the time. Or maybe he's just a vegetable. Either way most opponents get the first shot in assuming they're stupid enough to assault him. After which they get blasted by his eyeray, and the stragglers get stepped on.

"Bert…is that a bee comin' towards us?"

"Gawd ah hope not Abner. Truly that is the ugliest bee Ah evah did see…"

Professor Huberta had always had a weird obsession with flying critters. Sp it was obvious what her choice of mutation for her minion would be. Unfortunately Hulks don't make great flyers. Even when they've had bee wings added to their frames. They came across as more amusing than horrifying. Until they got mad of course and started zapping people with their gaze. Lavender Hulks are pinkish purple Hulks with wings. They speak Terran.

Paralyzing Gaze (Su): Gaze, Hold Person, DC 16 Willpower Save negates, Save DC is Charisma Based.

Combat: Lavender Hulks prefer to use Flyby attacks, paralyzing opponents with their gaze before landing to rip into them.

"ABNER!! Abner there's a giant critter eatin' mah flowers!"

"And?"

"And you need ta do yer husbinly dutees and go whack 'im!"

Professor Lamolle thought the idea of a contest of color coded evil minions was incredibly beneath him. In defiance he decided to create a colorless Hulk. And it worked of a sort. Their skin was colorless, making their organs and such visible. Until they ate. Then they absorbed the color of what they ate, possibly permanently if it stained. Unfortunately the new Hulks had some problems with myrtle flowers. Specifically they went completely nuts if they ate one, and it permanently dyes them a periwinkle color (hence their name). As the contest was held outside, the Hulks had ample access to myrtle flowers, and did a surprising 40 thousand gold in property damage before being brought under control. Periwinkle Hulks speak Terran.

Hypnotic Gaze (Su): Gaze, Mesmerizing Glare (see Spell Compendium), 30', DC 16 Willpower Save negates, Save DC is Charisma based.

Flower Addiction (Ex): If a Periwinkle Hulk eats a Myrtle flower it has to make a DC 20 Willpower Save 1d6 rounds later or it becomes subject to Frenzy. This is identical to the class ability listed on page 34 of the Complete Warrior except that the Periwinkle Hulks don't attack each other.

Combat: Tactics are pretty similar to regular Umber Hulks, unless there are Myrtle flowers nearby. If they've eaten any, just run. There's no talking to them then.

"Abner…that shadow just moved…"

Professor Panagiotis also thought the Minion contest wasn't truly serious, and rebelled at the idea of making something so foolish as a color coded Hulk Minion. So he set about to make a colorless one as well, ending up with a Hulk that was completely black. But the energies he exposed it too made it a true monster. Not undead, it shared many of the characteristics of one. An incorporeal phantom creature that hungered for the living. And unfortunately for Panagiotis he was living, and available. The Sepia Hulks have never made any attempt to communicate or shown that they understood any attempt to communicate with them.

Shadow Touch (Su): By making a touch attack the Hulk can bestow 1 Negative level upon it's opponent if it fails a DC 17 Fortitude Save. the Hulk does not gain any temporary hit points from this as it is how it feeds. It must drain 1 energy level per week or die.

Incorporeal Shadow (Su): Sepia Hulks are Incorporeal, and have no Strength or Constitution score (despite not being Undead). They are immune to poison, sleep effects, disease, death effects, paralysis, stunning, critical hits, nonlethal damage, ability drain or damage, energy drain, fatigue, and exhaustion effects. It does not breathe or sleep. In total Darkness it is invisible as per the Greater Invisibility spell.

Skills: Sepia Hulks gain a +8 Racial Bonus to Hide and Move Silently Checks.

Combat: Sepia Hulks are an odd bunch. If they aren't hungry they're content to merely watch hidden from the shadows. Just to see what intruders are up to. But if they are hungry, then the go for draining energy levels immediately, and running once they have enough.

"Where have I seen this thing before?"

Professor Lambis had been obsessed with Umber Hulks since he was a child and had toys modeled after them. But upon actually seeing his first Umber Hulk he was massively disappointed. They were gangly insectoid things as opposed to the hulking humanoid figures he remembered from his youth. The contest was his perfect chance to remake the Hulk to his vision. Now they are large humanoid figures with gray, elephant-like hide, and brown bony knobs on the chest and shoulders. It has large claws and teeth, and shows no signs of it's insectoid heritage.

"Hey Abner, how da you say Please Don't Kill Us in freaky mutant critter?"

Professor Arturo was a lazy slug. Always had been. Always would be. With no clue as to what to do for the contest he stole Professor Lambis' notes for transforming the Hulks by exposing them to planar energies. His first two experiments (Alpha and Beta) died. The third (Gamma) made a strange green, muscular Hulk with anger management issues. He promptly beat Arturo like a government mule and escaped. Arturo has made several more with the same results. He, of course, lost the contest. And a few brain cells from the multiple concussions. The Green Hulks appear to speak Common.

Powerful Build: Identical to the ability listed on page 12 of the Expanded Psionics Handbook.

Rage: Identical to the Mighty Rage ability listed on Page 26 of the PHB. It may be used a number of times per day equal to the Hulks Hit Dice divided by 3.

Combat: Green Hulks tend to fight by going into rage, charging, and repeatedly bashing whatever made them angry with their fists until it no longer needs bashing.

"Burt…Burt there's a huge pile o' hair out in the snow moving towards the cabin.."

Following Professor Lambis' cue, Professor Zamfirescu wanted to be different. He also stole a copy of Lambis' notes. His Hulks are among the oddest of the bunch, appearing as huge mounds of orange hair. The wool on them is so thick making out their features is difficult at a distance. They appear to speak Sylvan, which is odd because no one at the school speaks Sylvan and they have no idea who they picked it up from.

Improved Grapple (Ex): If the Orange Hulk successfully hits with it's Claw Attack, it can make a Grapple Check as a Free Action without Provoking an Attack of Opportunity. If successful it does it's Claw damage +1d6 electricity damage (due to the constant movement necessitated by Grappling the Orange Hulk does +1d6 electricity damage with a successful Grapple Check).

Static Cling (Ex): The thick hair of the Orange Hulk builds up huge charges of static electricity as it moves. Any round that the Hulk moves and attacks it does +1d6 electricity damage with any attacks (+2d6 if it charges). As a Full Round Action the Hulk may shuffle it's feet back and forth to build up a massive charge. It's next hit does +4d6 electricity damage. Any time the Hulk successfully criticals with an electrified attack it's opponent must make a DC 18 Fortitude Save or be Stunned 1 round (Save DC is Charisma Based).

Obscuring Hair (Ex): Opponents of the Orange Hulk take a -4 Circumstance Penalty on all Critical Confirmation rolls as the thick hair on their bodies obscures them.

Combat: Orange Hulks charge into the fray, blasting their opponents with their electrical claw attack. After that they usually just Grapple or rip away.

"WHY DOESN'T ANYONE EVER TALK TO ME?!?!?! WHY DO PEOPLE STOP MOVING?!??!?! DAMMIT!!"

Insane, but wealthy, Medusa Wizard Polymnia decided she needed a male suitor who "only had eyes for her". Unable to find one she made some. Specifically she made the Calxos Beholder Cyclops. and then had many strange, frightening, abominations of nature with them. It took the Beholders many decades to wear her and her servants down, but they did finally get her put down. There are still scattered Calxos about, as well as Half Medusa/Half Beholder children. Just…..ew. Calxos speak Beholder and Common.

Eye of Stone (Su): The Calxos' central Eye radiates a 150' Cone. Anything entering this Cone must make a DC 22 Willpower Save or be petrified as though by a Stone to Flesh spell.

Flight (Ex): A Calxos' body is naturally buoyant granting it a permanent Feather Fall effect as per the spell of the same name with personal range.

Combat: There are few things the Calxos' central eye can't deal with. The only time it's really vulnerable is when it's eating because it has to close it's eye to prevent it's food from becoming stone. This also means it usually has some sort of partner…

"You just disintegrated a Holy Relic. A HOLY RELIC!! DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH IT COSTS FOR THOSE THINGS?!??!"

"Yeah. Gods pass em out for free. What the heck are you so peeved about?"

It was inevitable someone would try to make a beholder Cyclops with an empowered Disintegration eye. Everyone was surprised to see it come last though. Disfibulor the Mad was a Mage obsessed with the Spheres of Annihilation, and wanted something similar, but more tractable. Cue the Eradicos. Making them took a while because initial experiments kept spontaneously self disintegrating. Which doesn't make for great soldiers. Upon success his press conference was interrupted by the Beholder Nations :

"We the Beholder Nations will no longer tolerate this perversion of our peoples!! You are all going to die for this!!"

Podium and surrounding area disintegrates

"We the Beholder Nations have decided to stop giving a . Your on your own kids."

Disfibulor died of syphilis 3 days later. Presumably the Eradicos are still around. Eradicos speak Beholder and Common.

Eye of Doom (Su): Once every 1d4 rounds the Eradicos can unleash a 150 Line of energy from it's main eye. Anything within the Area of Effect must make a DC 22 Fortitude Save or be affected as if by a Disintegrate Spell.

Flight (Ex): An Eradicos' body is naturally buoyant granting it a permanent Feather Fall effect as per the spell of the same name with personal range.

Combat: Eradicos will blast with their eye, retreat, and blast again when it is recharged. Few things can take that.

"Man, I soooo have the munchies right now."

Polymnia had enough children with her Calxos soldiers that eventually they became a stable race. Not a widespread one to be sure, but enough to hold their own. Unaccepted by either the Medusa or Beholder races they did what all sentient beings do when rejected by their peers and society as a whole: they started growing pot. Despite their limited manipulation abilities they're surprisingly good at it, and make a decent living. Stoners resemble Beholders about half the normal size with scaly skin, and 6 tentacles with fanged mouths at the end. They speak Beholder and Common.

Petrifying Gaze (Su): Turn to stone permanently, 30 feet, Fortitude DC 16 negates. The Save DC is Charisma Based.

Poison (Ex): Injury, Fortitude Save DC 16, initial and secondary damage 1d6 Strength. The Save DC is Constitution Based.

Flight (Ex): A Stoners body is naturally buoyant granting it a permanent Feather Fall effect as per the spell of the same name with personal range.

Magic Resistant (Ex): Stoners have a +4 Racial Bonus against Spells, Spell Like Abilities, and Supernatural Abilities.

Combat: Stoners generally rely on their gaze to settle fights. If that doesn't work they'll try using Fly-By's to Bite opponents nd let the poison settle them. Or bribe them with weed.

"Whut'll it be pal?"

The Stoners were not Polymnia's only hybrid children to branch off into a stable species. She also gave birth to what are referred to as the Beholder Folk (well, by everyone except the Beholders). They appear as scaly humanoids roughly 6 feet in height, with a round head that resembles a ball. It has a large fanged mouth and central eye, and appears to be topped by writhing tendrils that resemble hair. Mixed in with this "hair" are smaller eyestalks. The Beholder Folk are generally thought of as monsters, and so end up taking jobs that are traditionally frowned upon (lawyer, tax collector, executioner) or ones in which appearance is unimportant (bartender, rogues). They speak Beholder and Common.

Eye Rays (Su): Each of the Beholder Folk's 8 prehensile eyestalks can produce a ray once per round as a Free Action. It can only fire 4 in any 90 degree angle, and the others may fire in other arcs. Beholder Folk can bend their eyestalks to fire in any direction, in any combination. Each ray produces an effect similar to a spell (Caster Level 11th). Beholder Folk are incredibly mutable, so their eyestalks vary a lot. Pick any spell of 3rd level or less that specifically targets an individual for each eye's effect.

All-Around Vision (Ex): Beholder Folk gain a +4 Racial Bonus on Search and Spot checks, and can't be flanked.

Combat: Beholder Folk are fairly non-confrontational given their parentage. Usually they will flee and try to hide, but if cornered their Eye Rays can be devastating.

"Don't you judge me!"

Most of the time Beholders are pretty picky and eliminate any of their kind that don't look like themselves. Considering their mutativeness this means the off a lot of their kids for superficial differences. In the Jester's Realm though quite a few mutants got free and formed a small society of their own. They allow and encourage difference. They also don't get along with 'normal' Beholders so well. Beholder Mutates speak Beholder or Common.

Central Eye (Su): Each Beholder Mutate has a central Eye that is a Gaze Attack. Range is 30 feet regardless of size. Save DC to negate is 12 for Small, 14 for Medium, 18 for Large, and 26 for Large (Save DC is Charisma Based). This can duplicate most spell effects of 6th level or less. Optionally it may have the standard Beholder Antimagic eye.

Eye Rays (Su): Each of a Beholders eyestalks can produce a magical ray once per round as a Free Action. Each rays effects resemble a spell, but follow the rules for a ray (see Aiming a Spell, PHB page 175). A Small Beholder has 3 eyestalks, a Medium has 6, a Large has 10, and a Huge one has 15. Caster level is equal to (Hit Dice plus 2). The amount of rays a Beholder can focus in any 90 degree arc varies with size: 2 for Small or Medium, 3 for Large, or 4 for Huge. The effects of the Rays themselves vary wildly. A Small Beholder has eye rays equivalent to two 1st level and one 2nd level spells. A Medium Beholder has eye rays equivalent to one 1st level spell, three 2nd level spells, and one 3rd level spell. A Large Beholder has eye rays equivalent to two 1st level, one 2nd level, one 3rd level, two 4th level, one 5th level, two 6th level, and one 7th level spell. A Huge Beholder has eye rays equivalent to four 1st level, two 2nd level, two 3rd level, two 4th level, two 5th level, two 6th level, and one 7th level spells. These spells must be ones that specifically target an individual.

All-Around Vision (Ex): The Beholders eyes give it a +4 racial bonus on Spot and Search checks, and they cannot be flanked.

Flight (Ex): A Beholders body is naturally buoyant granting it a permanent Feather Fall effect as per the spell of the same name with personal range.

Combat: Surprisingly similar to most Beholders, depending on what exact abilities their eye rays give them.
