Magical Beast to Other Types

[Milo v3]

In the setting I'm currently creating all the races are animals who have modified stats through templates, awakening and such. But I have a problem.

Despite all of the races being humanoid in shape through the use of the Anthropomorphic Animal spell, they possess the Magical Beast type from being Awakened.

I need a bit of diversity in the types though:

So far I have:
Construct (Dustform)
Outsider (Psuedonatural)
Undead (Corpse)

But I still need a way to give the Aberration, Elemental, Fey, Humanoid, and Plant Types to magical beasts.

I have the following sources available:
Core Books
Arms and Equipment Guide
BoED
BoVD
City of Splendors
Cityscape
CA
CD
Complete Mage
DMGII
Dragonlance Campaign Setting
Frostburn
Ghostwalk

Hordes of the Abyss

Unapproachable East

Woodling gives plant traits but not Plant Type. I seem to remember a living Topiary Bush or something, but I don't think that is what you're aiming for.

For Elemental; isn't there a Half-Elemental Template?

Don't forget gelatinous creature (Savage Species 117) for ooze type. Can also use Ghost brute (SS 119) for undead (incorporeal) (also spectral, SS 130).

Animal -> aberration via symbiotic (SS 132)

tauric template gets you to monstrous humanoid, but you only get half the magical beast.

EDIT: This thread (http://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75882/19869266/Master_Template_List)will help.

For example: Arachnoid Creature (Underdark or City of the Spider Queen) -> aberration.

But I still need a way to give the Aberration, Elemental, Fey, Humanoid, and Plant Types to magical beasts.

Aberration:
Gelatinous (Savage Species)
Symbiotic (Savage Species)
Spellwarped (MM3)
Corrupted by the Abyss (Expedition to the Demonweb Pits)
Half-Illithid (Fiend Folio)
Arachnoid (FR Underdark)

Elemental:
Air Elemental (MotP)
Cold Elemental (MotP)
Earth Elemental (MotP)
Fire Elemental (MotP)
Water Elemental (MotP)
Wood Elemental (MotP)

Fey:
Half-Fey (Fiend Folio or Savage Progression article (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/sp/20040213a))
Wendigo (Fiend Folio)
Mirage Mullah (Sandstorm)
Spirit Animal (Frostburn)
Telthor (Unapproachable East)
Unseelie Fey (Dragon Compendium, but widely regarded as unbalanced and cheesish)

Humanoid:
Incarnate Construct (Savage Species, but it's a really wonky template)
Half-Troll (Fiend Folio, changes type to "Giant", which is sorta-humanoid)

Plant:
Topiary Guardian (MM3)
Yellow Musk Zombie (Fiend Folio)

Topiary Creatures are mindless so you'd be right. Though Woodling Might work.

I sadly lack Savage Species.

That could still work.

Annoyingly, the WoTC website is blocked on my laptop.


Aberration:
Gelatinous (Savage Species)
Symbiotic (Savage Species)
Spellwarped (MM3)
Corrupted by the Abyss (Expedition to the Demonweb Pits)
Half-Illithid (Fiend Folio)
Arachnoid (FR Underdark)
Spellwarped should work.


Air Elemental (MotP)
Cold Elemental (MotP)
Earth Elemental (MotP)
Fire Elemental (MotP)
Water Elemental (MotP)
Wood Elemental (MotP)
Damn, I lack Mannual of the Planes aswell.


Fey:
Half-Fey (Fiend Folio or Savage Progression article (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/sp/20040213a))
Wendigo (Fiend Folio)
Mirage Mullah (Sandstorm)
Spirit Animal (Frostburn)
Telthor (Unapproachable East)

Fiend Folio, yet another book I need to get. Mirage Mullah can only be gained by Humanoids, so that wont work. Spirit animals and Telthor can only be gained on animals, and don't increase its intelligence meaning it can't be a race.


Plant:
Topiary Guardian (MM3)
Yellow Musk Zombie (Fiend Folio)
Topiary Guardians are mindless, and wont work as a playable race.

May I suggest you get more books?

I can't link (against forum rules) but many of my books were procured on a famous online auction site you probably know about.

That would be difficult, as I'm 16 with my only online access coming from a school laptop which has blocks stopping me from going to nearly every site I attempt.

Local gaming shop? If you are the DM, DM fiat?
