Looking for a few monsters from folklore/urban legend.

I would prefer 3.5 or 3.0 stats, but if PF all that's available, I'll take it:


Mongolian Death Worm (Purple Worm with Catoblepas attack/Bodak template?)
Springheel Jack (???)
Jackalope (???)
Chupacabra (I'm pretty sure PF has stats, as a Dragon/Magical Beast?)

Cheers - T

Mongolian Death Worm (Purple Worm with Catoblepas attack/Bodak template?)IIRC, the d20 Modern Menace Manual has this. Converting it to 3.5 wouldn't be too difficult.
Edit: page 65. CR 3, advanced one at CR 5


Jackalope (???)
Chupacabra (I'm pretty sure PF has stats, as a Dragon/Magical Beast?)
Pretty sure the same book has these, too.

Edit: I was wrong. It doesn't have these.

Chupacabra is in Dragon #343. Not sure about the others though.

Quick google search found this (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/fey/spring-heeled-jack) for Spring Heeled Jack, and this (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/magical-beasts/chupacabra) for Chupacabra.

Edit: For the Jackalope you could just use the stats for a normal rabbit, and possibly give it a gore attack of some sort.

Thanks for the results everyone.

I'm a bit underwhelmed with the d20 Mongolian Death Worm...it's a small magical beast. I had something more like this in mind:

I might just modify a Purple Worm with some kind of Death Gaze.

Springheel can be found in Dragon #355, the article titled "Creature Catalog VI"

Well, this is in line with the wikipedia description.

So maybe it's simply not supposed to be a huge creature.
