Description

This was a singular being in my campaign -- the spirit of a woman learned in moon magics who had been buried alive by her spouse. She appears only in a 20' radius about her grave and then only on moon-lit nights. On any night, she will first appear as a white bull. If the bull is slain, she will reappear as a griffin. If the griffin is slain, she will appear as a winged maiden. If the winged maiden is slain, she cannot act until the next night.

This ghost is permanently laid to rest if a suitable religious ceremony for the dead is said performed by a good cleric over her grave. The ghost always saves as a 9th level mage. She can cast spells provided she is not in darkness. Because her hatred is for men, she will ignore women. It requires at least a +1 magical weapon to hit the ghost. She can be turned as a ghost. Alignment: CN

The first column is the information for the white bull and the second is for the winged maiden. Please use appropriate TSR manual for statistics on the griffin.

If the bull rolls a 20 for its attack roll it tramples its opponent doing an additional 1d10+5 points of damage.

The winged maiden can cast the following spells as a 9th level magic-user, continual light, detect invisibility, hallucinatory terrain, charm, dazzle (blindness with a different explanation -- see bright light masking everything else.) The winged maiden will attempt to charm any man (which is innate ability.) If she does she will suck the victims blood doing 1d4 points per round (with no attack roll required.)
