Dream Creatures

[Dancingdeath]

I'd like to implement an idea I had a while back using the Region if Dreams from the MotP. It will involve dream travel and creatures that tie into that realm. One such creature that will be perfect for my purposes is the Slake Moth from Dragon 352. I'm seeking to use the encyclopedic knowledge some of you possess. What are some other creatures I might use between CR 4 and 9. Thanks in advance.

[Thurbane]

Off the top of my head, here's a few that fall into that CR range:


Dream Dwarf (varies) [Races of Stone]
Dream Serpent (CR 6) [Secrets of Xen'drik]
Fiyhr (CR 4) [Monster Manual II]
Night Hag (CR 9) [Monster Manual]
Nightmare (CR 5) [Monster Manual]

Much appreciated sir. Those will fit the bill quite nicely.

May I suggest: "Shadow" creatures (ie pseudoreal ones) and the Pseudonatural template
Also Tooth Beasts (ToM 88) (CR 7) to play with that nightmare of teeth falling out.
"The party feels their teeth start to rattle... When you open your mouth your teeth come tumbling out in a cascade, letting more teeth fall than you thought you had. In front of you these teeth begin to take shape, organizing into an ursine form. It rears onto its hind legs and roars like a tooth drill's humm, Roll for initiative"

Dude!!! That is the most f'd up dream! I have it like, once a year and I freak out so hardcore over it.

Dal Quor (http://eberron.wikia.com/wiki/Dal_Quor) is the Region of Dreams for Eberron.
So, how about some Quori?
Especially, Dream Master Quori (Magic of Eberron) and Hashalaq Quori (Secrets of Sarlona)

Towers of High Sorcery have Dreamshadow template, and Dreamwraith

Dungeon #106 [Polyhedron #165] have Dreamstealer and Dreamstealer Spawn template

Malfera - Evil Outsider in Dragon #343 - have Nightmare (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/nightmare.htm) (Su) 1/day, which is, unlike the spell, doesn't required any special knowledge or connection to target

Dreamfane (http://archive.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/psb/20070711a)

Also, events of the Dreamblade (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dreamblade) are in a dream by definition; so, some monsters from there:

The Diabolus race (Dragon Compendium p. 6) originate from the Demiplane of Nightmares (bordering the Region of Dreams and Ethereal Plane, so they might also be appropriate.

Etherkai the dream dragon was made for 4e, but you can translate him pretty well. I've wanted to use him for so long...
