It’s official. My monster, the horakh, was picked as a finalist in the King of Monsters 2 contest. In case you haven’t heard of the contest before, here’s the low down. Kobold Quarterly periodically runs a monster building competition open to all. Designers can submit their monster’s statblock in Pathfinder/3rd Edition or 4th Edition D&D formats complete with flavor text, but no longer than 800 words. A panel of RPG celebrity judges picks 10 finalists, then the public votes on the winner. Public voting opens next Monday, August 30th. You have to register on the koboldquarterly.com forums to vote. I hope I can count on your vote.

The statblock on KQ is limited to RTF format only. You can find a more 4th Edition-friendly statblock below. You can also download my .monster file here. You can import this XML file directly into Adventure Tools to tweak the monster for your group’s level. The statblocks are posted for information purposes only and are owned by Kobold Quarterly.
