[The last of the Libris Mortis conversions originally posted on the Paizo boards. I’ve got one or two more cooking up that I’ll post shortly that are previously unseen. The wheep didn’t change too much in conversion, although I clarified what exactly was going on with their poison and gave it a decided defensive re-write (the original had an AC of 29 and 66 hp). These guys give me a real Hellraiser/Event Horizon vibe]
Wheep
This twisted humanoid figure is contorted in agony. Iron spikes
are driven into its empty eye sockets, which ooze a thick black bile
that coats the creature’s face and hands. Its mouth is filled with
gnashing teeth, and a similar hideous maw opens in the palm of each of
its hands.
The undead abominations known as wheeps are the creation of powerful
alien forces toying with the mortal form. Most wheeps serve under
devoted evils such as kytons and wicked aberrations, acting as
bodyguards, emissaries and shock troopers. The process of creating a
wheep from a humanoid involves shattering both the mind and body of the
victim before allowing it to die and creating a horror from its
corpse—the process results in a dim-witted creature that is both
eternally loyal and viciously violent. Some wheeps are used as agents in
cities and other mortal realms—although stupid, they are cunning and
able to disguise themselves as a beggar, leper or other outcast to
gather intelligence and carry out missions of madness and death. The
very presence of a wheep spreads its misery with it—thick black venom
(sometimes referred to as “poison tears”) oozes from its orifices and
its screaming voice brings terror and madness.
Thoroughly wicked mortal spellcasters may occasionally create a
wheep, although to do so is a crime beyond imagining even for most
necromancers. In order to create a wheep, a create undead spell
at caster level 18th must be cast on a good-aligned humanoid victim that
has been tortured and kept alive for at least a year before being
slain, and a symbol of pain spell must be cast on the corpse before its animation.
In their conquest of Senksen, the umbral dragons employed all manner of allies, including a number of kytons under the eremite overlord Frostbitten Son. The kytons remain in Senksen, being used as counter-revolutionaries. The worst punishment for dissidents against the dragon’s rule is to be subjected to their attentions, and then turned into a wheep to be unleashed against other rebels.
