               Creatures from Krynn:

Krynn is the home of many creatures, most of them are common creatures from the standard D&D monsters manuals. However there are two groups of creatures that don't exist in krynn, those are any kind of lycanthropes, and any kind of orc race, subrace or orc-hybrids like half-orcs.

The links below only refer to creatures that only have been seen in krynn.

                Some creatures I'd like to see:

The disir are a race of deep-dwelling subterranean creatures of disgusting appearance. They stand about six to seven feet tall, although they are normally hunched over to a lesser height. Parts of their bodies are covered with a natural armor, while other areas show exposed rubbery flesh. Their skin tone is a pasty green-white. Their pores exude a thick coating of slimy gel. This is normally polluted with dirt, debris, and bits of dead flesh that seem to constantly slough off them. An aura of stench and decay hangs around them.
'Posted
(Left: true disir. Right: a Tyin, a mutated form of disir)

The gurik cha'ahl, deformed goblins of Taladas:
'Posted
'Posted

Undead beasts, mindless killers of unknown origin, compelled to destroy the living.

The most common variety is the stahnk. The size of a small dragon, the stahnk’s bones protrude from rotting flesh. It has a great horned head, and its ribs are bare and barbed, forming a nasty cage. It walks on all fours, but it can rear on its hind legs, balancing with its stubby tail, to bring its powerful forearms to bear.
'Posted

The other type of undead beast is the Gholor. The gholor, also known as the feaster, is an undead beast with no hind legs or rib cage. It cannot make ensnaring, trampling, or flinging attacks. Instead, it attacks with two 20-foot-long bony hooked arms and its sharp teeth; its jaws secrete acid, causing an additional 1d8 points of acid damage with each successful bite.
Gholors live at the bottom of deep funnel-like depressions located in deserts, on ocean floors, or in similarly desolate areas. They cannot move from their funnels. Gholors radiate a magical pull within a 1d10-mile radius of their funnels, causing all victims in the area to feel a desire to travel to the funnel. For every hour a being is within this radius, it must roll a successful saving throw vs. spell or continue to move toward the funnel at its normal movement rate. When a victim reaches the funnel, it begins to slip inside; it slips to the center and into the arms of the waiting gholor in three rounds.
'Posted

Giant Sea Anemones, common in the seas around Ansalon
'Posted

Fire minions are fearsome creatures, apparently from the elemental plane of Fire. Their bodies are composed of living flame, and although they can assume any form they wish, the most common is that of a large humanoid, complete with fangs and homs. Their bodies are the colors of flame and constantly swirl and flicker with the living light.
'Posted
'Posted

Wichtlin are elven undead. They are relentless killers and deadly adversaries.Wichtlin appear as a pair of floating eyeballs and a pair of floating, skeletal hands. Both the eyeballs and the hands glow with a greenish color. Those using detect invisibilitytrue seeing, or a similar spell can see the wichtlin’s entire form: a blackened elven skeleton draped with shards of rotting flesh.Wichtlin are a result of an ancient curse on the court of Queen Sylvyana, a Silvanesti elf also known as the Ghoul Queen. All known records of her reign were destroyed by the Silvanesti, and only fragments of rumors remain. When an elf of evil alignment dies violently, there is a 1% chance that Chemosh, the Lord of the Undead, in conjunction with the spirit of Queen Sylvyana, claims his spirit and resurrects him as a wichtlin.
'Posted

A knight haunt is a floating suit of Solamnic armor, always accompanied by some sort of weapon. If the battle where the knight fell was one where more than 100 Solamnic knights died then it is always riding a suit of floating horse barding.The armor is always mirror bright and its weapon is always in perfect condition. A faint golden haze can be seen, creating the form of the Knight who used to own the armor.
'Posted

The fireshadow is a creature from the Abyss that can be summoned to the Prime Material plane by an 8th-level or higher evil cleric, but only if the cleric’s deity approves and aids the summoning.
The fireshadow is made of cold, green flame. It can assume whatever shape the summoner specifies, but it must appear at its full height of 30 feet. It might appear as a wraith-like dragon, a towering human, or an immense skeleton. Regardless of its form, the fireshadow is always surrounded by an aura of pale, green fire.

half-elves of krynn

'Posted
Young Tanis and kitiara.


Gnome, Tinker

Kender

'Posted
Kenders are very similar to halflings. So it would be quite suitable use halfling models for them.


Human (Krynn)

'Posted
 'Posted
Civilized humans

'Posted
Nomadic humans


Half-ogres

'Posted
Half-ogres, are close enough to half-orcs, at least those from Krynn. They are medium sized humanoids, very strong and very uglies. the main diference is that half-ogreas have greater strength bonifications, and greater charisma and inteligence penalties, than half-orcs. So I think that could be quite suitable use half-orc models for half-ogres.

               This time I don't have provided an individual link for each Krynn's creature, because I have provided a link to the full 3rd E Bestiary, and because many creatures of krynn are common monsters in D&D. However if you take a look in the 3rd E bestiary perhaps you can found something that pleased you.

               Is there a practical way of getting a mountain in the shape of a giant dragon into the NWN engine? There's so much potential for awesome here...

               It is soooooo sad that DLA bit the dust.  They had created but not quite finished a huge set of groups and tiles for Solace, a beautiful built in the trees elven city.  Dang, I really wish that I could have talked them into allowing me to release what they had, but I was specifically told NO, they are unfinished, and they didn't want their name sullied with unfinished work.  Soooo sad.  A large part of what eventually came to be known as TNO or released with 1.69 and/or Wyvern Crown of Cormyr (the premium mod that is no longer available) was based from or off of, the work done towards creating Dragon Lance content.  However, the figgin owners of the rights to Dragon Lance and Neverwinter absolutely refused to allow DLA to release this stuff.  Threatened lawsuits etc... that old Atari is gone now, but the lawyers still exist, and they are still hoping to be able to sue someone to give them more cash.

I don't think they would bother with Fan created things now, but anything that DLA created could be interpreted as being created under contract, giving them (the bad guys) the legal rights to it.

Just remember to read the fine print in ANY contract you sign, and then have it fully and digitally scanned by an electron microscope to UN-hide the hidden text that was micro-printed in the borders and you MIGHT be safe.  Don't forget that there is normally a section that states something on the order (we, the bad guys) may change this contract at ANY time WITHOUT notification or knowledge of the signer's (you).  Since USA law is so screwed up, you tend to not own anything you create, regardless of how, when, why or what tools were used when it was created by you anyway.
