...SO BELOW PART II: ASTRAL WAYLAYERS

 While still astral in nature, these "waylayers" are somewhat leaning earthbound in a way that is less planar than their counterparts dwelling "above".

   Distantly related to dungeon sirens, these undead monsters appear only on very clear nights when the stars are bright. They appear as the outline of beautiful women. They will attack if approached within 15 feet. They magnify the light of the stars to give off the energy of suns. The effect is equivalent to a 6d6 fireball with a 30-foot diameter blast radius.

HALL CRAWLER

The mouth of the hall crawler appears like a dungeon entrance with a demonic mouth. Any character unlucky enough to get in the mouth past 20 feet will be sprayed by acid from the “ceiling.” This acid attack inflicts 8-32 points of damage (save versus death for half damage). They can move into the Astral Plane in 1 turn if left alone. They search for dungeons that are not too desolate to feed. They prefer lawful targets.

This strange wolf attacks in packs but never alone. They will appear on moonlit nights and can run in the air wherever there is light from the moon. Because these creatures are on the verge of the Astral Plane they can see into the Astral or Prime Material Plane. When they appear in the Prime Material Plane (or Astral, rarely), they appear as a beam of light coming from the moon with wolves running down to attack. If they retreat into the moonbeam and are followed, the pursuers may become stuck in the verge of the Astral Plane unless they have spells. They can also slay the wolves which will temporarily open a gate back to the Prime Material Plane.

 They appear as great gray wolves with the state of the moon always reflecting in their eyes.
