Oriental Monsters

A Supplement for B/X

This document contains over 65 all-new monsters suitable for an Oriental campaign. Each of
the monsters is based on real world legendary sources, so in some cases the name of a
particular monster may be the same as that published in another game book, but in every
case the monster fully detailed herein is a novel interpretation written by myself.

on a successful "to hit" roll, and bringing the victim to her
mouth to bite with her powerful teeth. She may use each

Aonyobo are the

ghosts of oldfashioned court
ladies, appearing
much as they did in
life (with blackened
teeth and shaved
eyebrows) but with
a distinct bluishgreen tint to their
skin. They will only
be found in the
ruins of abandoned
palaces, and enjoy consuming human flesh. Upon being
bitten, their victim will be paralysed for 2-8 turns unless a
successful save vs Paralysis is made. Aonyobo are
immune to disease, poison, and mind-affecting spells
(such as sleep, charm, and hold spells).

Aonyobo

Amanojaku are thought to be related to oni, resembling

them somewhat but standing only 3 feet tall. They are
invariably wicked and perverse. Their favourite tactic is to
find a person's deepest desires (they may cast ESP at
will), and then use this information to instigate their victim
into doing evil acts before ultimately frustrating the victim's
desire! Amanojaku have been known to flay their victims
(or animals) after death and then wear the skin to
impersonate them. They are also able to mimic their
victim's voice and only have a 1-in-20 chance of being
detected.

The Amikiri has a

tapering worm-like
body about 5 feet long,
a beaked bird-like
head, and two crab-like
claws. Normally shy
and mischievous, it
especially enjoys cutting
nets when no one is
looking but it has also
been known to sneak
up on people and cut
off their hair at the roots! It will typically flee at the first sign
of danger. The treasure indicated will only be found the in
the creature's lair.

An akashita appears as a large thick black smokey cloud,

out of which emerges the head and arms of a hairy beast
with large claws and a gaping red maw containing sharp
teeth and a large tongue. Anyone within melee range of
the monster must save vs Poison at the end of each round
or be doubled over coughing due to the noxious smoke
and for the following round they will be unable to attack.

Bashe are huge pythons, up to 100 feet long, so large that

their favoured prey are elephants. Their primary attack is
their bite, on a "to hit" roll of 19 or 20 they will have
swallowed a man-sized (or smaller) victim whole, inflicting
an automatic 2-16 points of damage per round. Anyone
inside the Bashe attacks with a -4 penalty on "to hit" rolls
against AC 7 and may only use small piercing weapons
such as a daggar. On any other successful bite attack roll,
the bashe will then proceed to wrap its body about the
victim, constricting for 2-16 points of damage per round
automatically each round thereafter.
Daidarabotchi
Bakekujira is a ghost, taking the form of a skeletal whale
60 feet long. It is accompanied by a flock of 'zombie' birds
and a school of 'zombie' fish. It will ignore nearby boats or
even outright non-magical attacks, but if attacked
magically it will become fearlessly aggressive. If it rams a
ship, it will do 6-36 hull points of damage. Bakekujira is
immune to disease, poison, and mind-affecting spells
(such as sleep, charm, and hold spells), and can only be
hit with magic weapons.

Baku are chimerical

creatures, with a spotted
tiger's body & legs, an
elephant's trunk, a
rhinoceros' eyes, and an
ox's tail. They are very
shy, but are helpful to
humans: they prowl
dreams and eat
nightmares. Baku are
able to use the spell ESP
at will (and may also use
this ability to devour
dreams if the target is
sleeping). Baku are immune
to all poison and disease, and are at all times affected as
by the spell protection from evil 10' radius. It is said
that a bed made from the skin of a baku retains these
protective qualities.

Earth Dragon: Earth dragons are the guardians of

hidden treasures, especially gems and precious metals. In
appearance they are similar to water dragons although
they are usually wreathed in harmless flames. Earth
dragons are immune to fire (including magical fire) and
often live inside volcanoes. The earth dragon is unable to
fly, and so when it needs to ascend to heaven it creates a
volcanic eruption to carry itself up. Earth dragons also

have the ability to move earth (as the spell) three times
per day.
Water Dragon: Water dragons are benevolent beings,
associated with water and clouds. They live in lakes,
rivers, or the sea, and also among the clouds. They have
the ability to control rainfall and weather (may cast
control weather up to three times per day). They are
chimerical, having the following characteristics: head of a
crocodile; antlers of a deer; eyes of an oni; ears of a cow;
neck, body, and tail of a snake; scales of a carp; claws of
an eagle; soles of a tiger; and the innards of a clam. They
may change their colour to match whatever environment
they may be in (surprise on a roll of 1-4 on 1d6). Young
water dragons are smaller, having 5 or fewer hit dice, no
antlers, and may neither control weather nor fly (being
wholly aquatic).

Each dragon king carries a dragon orb. In the possession

of the dragon king, the dragon orb functions as a ring of
protection +3, 10' radius in addition to granting the
dragon king up to three wishes per month, but in the
hands of others the dragon orb will only function as a ring
of protection +1 and will grant 0-3 wishes (depending
how many are left) before losing the wishing power until
the dragon orb is returned to the possession of the dragon
king for a full month.

Water Dragon King: Water dragon kings have the

form of water dragons, and are not immediately
distinguishable from them to the untrained eye; however,
they are larger and they have 5 claws per foot. There are
four dragon kings in total, each ruling one ocean: North,
South, East, and West. They each reside in a fabulous
crystal palace under their respective ocean, where they are
attended by all manner of marine animals which they may
command at will, being their rulers. Water dragon kings
may transform themselves at will into humanoid form,
normally that of a man dressed in king's robes but with a
dragon's head, although they may also choose a purely
human form. They also have the following spell-like
powers, which they may cast at will (as a 14th level
caster): purify water, create water, water
breathing, conjure elemental (water only), control
weather, lower water, flood (reverse of lower
water), and part water. In addition, they have the spell
casting abilities of both a 9th level wu ren and a 9th level
shugenja.

Earth Dragon King: The earth dragon king is a huge,

fat, worm-like version of an earth dragon with vestigial
limbs and a body about 100 feet long and 10 feet in
diameter. He is rarely encountered as he spends most of
his time far underground. He is immune to fire (including
magical fire). He may swallow whole any creature 10 feet
tall or shorter upon rolling a "to hit" number which is 4 or
more higher than required, causing an automatic 3-18
points of damage each subsequent round, in addition to
the normal bite damage on the round the swallowing
occurred. He also has the following spell-like powers,
which he may cast at will (as a 14th level caster): conjure
elemental (earth only), pass-wall, transmute rock
to mud, transmute mud to rock, wall of stone,
and move earth.

Funayurei are the

ghosts of people
who have died in
shipwrecks. They
appear as they did
in life, except
being pale and
transparent. They
are also associated
with ghostly fires
(visible yet
unburning). They
may ride their
own ghost ships,
they may swim in
the water, or they
may suddenly appear on the decks of ships, but in all
cases their primary goal is to sink ships and swell their own
numbers. They will cause 1 hull point of damage per
round to a ship for every 10 funayurei present and
working towards that goal. They will also attempt
deception to lure ships onto rocks, reefs, etc. Funayurei
are immune to disease, poison, and mind-affecting
spells (such as sleep, charm, and hold spells), and can
only be hit with magic weapons.

A futakuchionna was once a normal woman, now cursed

with a second mouth located on the back of her head
(hidden by her hair under normal circumstances). Her hair
becomes like two serpents and is able to grab food and
carry it to her second mouth. Anyone struck by a hair
'serpent' is grasped tightly, anyone struck by two is pulled
towards the mouth and chewed for 1-4 points of damage
each round automatically until released. The second
mouth tends to mumble spitefully, and eats twice as much
as a normal person. It will become threatening or even
scream obscenities if not fed.

A furi is a small monkeylike animal with red eyes,

blue fur with a black
leopard-like pattern, and
a short tail. They are
nocturnal and enjoy
eating spiders. Although
unable to fly, they are
excellent gliders, and are
able to travel from one
mountain to another!
They are unusual in that
they are immune to all
forms of attack (including
poison, fire, etc.) except
those which cause
crushing damage (for example, a club or a mace).

Gashadokuro are giant skeletons, standing 50 feet tall.

They are created from the bones of one thousand people
who have died of starvation, and attack by snatching a
victim and attempting to bite his head off. They are
immune to disease, poison, and mind-affecting spells
(such as sleep, charm, and hold spells).

Hengeyokai cover a large range of shapechangers,

including bakeneko (cat), hebi (snake), inugami (dog),
kitsune (fox), mujina (badger), okami (wolf), tanuki
(raccoon dog), and tsuchigumo (spider), which are fully
detailed in the "Oriental Classes" supplement, and can
also appear as NPCs. Bite attacks from NPC hebi and
tsuchigumo will most often require a save vs Poison,
unlike their Player Character counterparts! Hengeyokai
encountered may be of any level from 1 through 9, and
their particular animal form may be chosen by the DM or
rolled randomly. Some of their favoured spells are as
follows (although they are by no means restricted to this
spell list): (1st) sleep, ventriloquism; (2nd) ESP,
invisibility, phantasmal force; (3rd) fireball, fly,
lightning bolt; (4th) confusion, hallucinatory
terrain; (5th) magic jar. Low-level hengeyokai may
only have half or less of the rolled treasure, and high-level
hengeyokai will have treasure type "I" in addition. Magic
items should be determined separately, by using the
normal rules for NPCs. Most hengeyokai are Chaotic, but
some 20% may be Neutral and 5% may be Lawful. One
specific type of hengeyokai, the zenko, is detailed
separately in its own listing.

The hakutaku has the body of a white ox, the face of a

man, nine eyes (three on its face and three on each flank),
and six horns (two on its head and four along its back). It
is extremely intelligent and knowledgeable, and is able to
speak and read all languages. It may never be surprised
and is immune to all poison and disease. In addition, it
has all the special abilities of a 9th level shugenja,
including spell casting.

Although the ikiryo's preferred victim is the target of the

grudge, the Ikiryo may attempt to possess other bodies
at will (although only one at a time), hopping from body
to body. It will sometimes use this ability to further
torment its victim.

A honeonna in her natural form is a skeleton, but she

takes the aspect of a thin, beautiful girl to lure men into
her clutches. Whenever she sleeps with a man she will
permanently drain 1 hit point from him (may not be
healed by magical or normal healing). This loss is
undetectable until he dies from this effect, at which time
he becomes a skeleton himself under the direction of the
honeonna. Honeonna are immune to disease, poison,
and mind-affecting spells (such as sleep, charm, and
hold spells).

Ikiryo are immune to disease, poison, and mindaffecting spells (such as sleep, charm, and hold spells),
and can only be hit with magic weapons. A protection
from evil spell will temporarily (for the duration of the
spell) drive the ikiryo out of someone who is possessed,
and prevent the ikiryo from possessing anyone so
protected. A successful dispel evil spell will drive the
ikiryo out of the victim and force it to return to its
originator for 1 day; furthermore this spell will cause the
ikiryo will become visible (AC 4) until it re-enters the
originator, and identifiable to anyone who knows him in
life.

Jiangshi are reanimated corpses with greenish-white skin

and long white hair, created by the ghost's inability to
leave the body. Jiangshi are animalistic in temperament
and intelligence. They are active at night, hiding in dark
places during daylight hours. The body itself is very stiff
with the arms perpetually stretched outwards; they may
only move by hopping and they automatically lose
initiative in combat. Their touch drains 1 level of
experience or hit die from the victim. Anyone slain by a
jiangshi in this manner will become a jiangshi himself.

The ittanmomen appears as a bolt of cotton cloth (about 1

foot wide and 35 feet long) fluttering in the breeze. On a
successful attack roll, it has wrapped itself around the
victim's head and body, and the victim will suffocate to
death in 10 rounds unless the ittanmomen is removed.
Removal may be accomplished by killing it (attacks
automatically hit, but will do damage to the monster and
damage to the victim), or by pulling it free. Pulling it free
will require successful Open Doors rolls for 3 rounds in a
row, these Open Doors rolls may be made against the
creature instead of a normal attack roll. A maximum of
two people may attempt to pull it free simultaneously.
Note that the 3 rounds required must be in unbroken
sequence, if all Open Doors rolls are failed on any given
round, the creature retightens its grip and the pulling must
begin anew. When wrapped around a victim, the
ittanmomen's Morale becomes 12.

Isonade is a giant sharklike sea creature, about 30

feet long. It especially
enjoys stormy weather,
and is normally only
encountered under these
conditions. Its favourite
tactic is to approach ships
from underwater, waiting
until it is very close and
then lifting its tail (which is
covered in hook-like
projections) out of the
water and sweeping it
across to pull sailors down
into the sea where it can
eat them. The isonade has
also been known to use this tactic against people on the
beach. Anyone struck by its tail must, in addition to taking
the stated damage, make a save vs Death Ray or be
caught on the hooks of the tail and dragged into the water.
When biting, on a "to hit" roll of 20 the isonade will
swallow any creature 3 feet tall or smaller, automatically
inflicting 1-6 points of damage per round and killing the
victim by drowning in 10 rounds. Any treasure it may
have will be located inside its belly.

A langgui is a spirit guarding abandoned tomb mounds,

taking the form of a large demonic wolf. It will relentlessly
attack any creature coming too close to the tomb mound,
but will not pursue very far if the intruder flees. The
langgui may also transform itself into a whirlwind (10'
diameter, MV 120'/40') which will toss aside any creatures
in its path which fail a save vs Death Ray, inflicting 2-12
points of damage. This transformation takes one full
round, during which time the langgui may not move or
attack. Any treasure rolled is buried within the tomb
mound it is guarding, and will require a concerted effort to
recover.

the nukekubi will attach its mouth to a victim causing 1-3

victims blood. While the head flies about, the body
remains inanimate and the head has no awareness of the
body, so the body may be destroyed or hidden (for

Penghou have the appearance of a tailless black dog with

the face of a man. When a tree grows to be 1000 years
old, it will generate a penghou tree spirit. A penghou can
join or leave its tree at will, but it must not remain more
than 240' away from its tree for more than a turn or the
penghou will die. If its tree is cut while the penghou is
inside, the tree will ooze blood as the penghou also takes
damage, and the dead penghou body will emerge from
the tree if the tree dies. Penghou are shy and passive,
preferring to avoid contact. Their only defense is a special
form of the charm person spell, the victim must save vs
Spells with a -2 penalty or be drawn towards the
penghou's tree and enter it, never to emerge again.
Hidden among the roots around the base of the tree will
be found the equipment, clothes, and treasure of previous
victims (if any).

Rokurokubi are cursed human

beings, by day they live as
normal humans but at night
their necks stretch out to any
desired length. Anyone upon
first seeing them in this state
must save vs Spells with a +2
bonus or be affected by the
spell cause fear (reverse of
remove fear). Rokurokubi
delight in trickery and spying.
Some are merely mischievous,
others are more malevolent.
Upon a successful "to hit" roll,
the rokurokubi will attach its
mouth to a victim causing 1-3
points of damage automatically
each round as it drinks the victim's blood. This bite causes
no pain, and will not wake sleeping victims. Some
rokurokubi may not be aware of their curse, their necks
stretch out at night involuntarily and they wake up in the
morning with only fragmentary memories attributed to
weird dreams.

The pixiu resembles a plump greyish-white winged lion,

having the head of a large-mouthed dragon with only a
single antler. A pixiu wards off evil (permanent
protection from evil 10' radius spell in effect), and
its bite has the effect of dispel evil on a successful attack
roll. Pixiu are immune to all poison and disease, and
may cast cure disease at will. They also at all times
radiate an aura of good fortune (as a ring of
protection +1, 5' radius). They eat only gold, silver,
and platinum.

This mind reading ability also allows
them to speak the language of
whomever they meet. They are
generally quite shy and placid, and
will flee if they determine someone has violent intentions.
They will also become fearful and flee if they are ever
surprised. They have been known to attack humans for

Shuigui are the ghosts of people who have drowned. They

remain where they died, waiting to pull another victim
beneath the water (on a successful attack roll the victim is
pulled into the water and must make a save vs Paralysis or
be held there, unless rescued the held victim will die by
drowning in 10 rounds). Once their victim is submerged,
the shuigui attempts to possess the victim's body and
return to the land of the living, leaving the victim's ghost
behind which will become another shuigui in 1 turn (this
works in a manner similar to the magic jar spell, except
it is a direct swap with no intermediary 'jar'). Shuigui are
immune to disease, poison, and mind-affecting spells
(such as sleep, charm, and hold spells), and can only be
hit with magic weapons.
