I guess they might have been named by someone who saw them combining after a battle.

I wonder, would these things work as (dangerous) livestock? Orcs might keep one in a pen and eat the splices when needed.

Remember, all monsters and NPCs have average hit points + .5 for every HD. So it’s 5.5 multiplied by 3 = 16. Then 16 + 6 (you also need to change it from 4 in the stat block) = 22.

And yes, I understand. It’s impossible to catch every mistake. You just have to look at some of the work done on various books out there to know that (not naming names).

This monster actually reminds me of the nonafel (cat-of-nine-tails) in the old 1st ed. Fiend Folio. I’ve always wanted that monster redone for 3.5/Pathfinder and now I have the next best thing!

Creature fixed!

I originally thought the “tearing” was the creature literally tearing itself apart with its teeth! O_o (But then, who says it isn’t? :P )

Finally, its skills should be Climb +4, Perception +4, Stealth +6, Swim +4.

Editing Mike Kortes work makes me feel like a Paizo editor.

And bonus body parts to sell… ;)
