So. Casters are rare in my setting and we have a caster in party that is, well, casting the whole time.

I wonder what sot of mosnters (can be humanoids too) would such caster attract? I am mainly interested fluff-wise.

Something like rust monster, just that it is attracted by magic.

Thanks

There's the Spelleater in Dragon Magic (Page 119) that you may find useful.

Forgot the disenchanter (http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/bestiary3/disenchanter.html#_disenchanter), which is quite literally the magic version of the rust monster: a creature created entirely to screw over magic-wielding PCs.

They screw magic item users, not magic users.

Monsters of Faerun has the Nishruu that eats magic in any form.

An aoa from fiend folio. Reflects magic back on casters and its slam attacks deliver a dispel effect.

Living spells from Eberron sound like they'd be attracted to magic wielders.

The classic Ethereal Filcher (SRD) is attracted to magic. So are Spellgaunts (MMII).

If your spellcaster likes blasty spells, elemental grues from the Complete Arcane could prove interesting.

Isn't there a multi legged creature like the behir that feeds on magic. It might have already been mentioned because I can't remember what it's called.

Another caster looking for more power/capable of eliminating a rival?

A Mageripper Swarm from MMIII would likely also be attracted to a caster.
