Monstrous Lycanthrope

[TheNamelessMonk]

Okay so recently my friends and i have started up a 3.5 d&d game and i was talking with them and i had the idea to make a lycanthrope giant eagle but that was kinda shattered when i saw it was a magical beast. Carl (the DM) said there was a template called Monstrous Lycanthrope that would allow me to take two creatures (Giant Eagle and say Human) and make it a lycanthrope. He said he wasn't gunna tell me where it was. I ended up making a were-ape. I still wanna know where that template is so i can use it in the future. Thanks ^_^

He was probably referring to the Monstrous Lycanthrope template in the Advanced Bestiary (a 3rd party splatbook), which lets you create a werecreature from any living creature. Yes, this includes plants (weretreants are even specifically mentioned in the book). It's really a sweet template! :smallbiggrin:

EDIT: If you're interested in combining creatures, the same book has the Amalgam template (in a nutshell, creature A + creature B = mixed AB creature with characteristics and abilities from both creatures).

If the size and form factor is all you're looking for, you can probably either reduce the Giant Eagle's int to 2 and call it an Animal, or advance a regular (or dire, if there is one printed?) eagle in HD to Large size.
