Harharha'raror, Demon Prince (Epic Boss)

A twisting, writhing sphere of staring eyestalks and drooling, lipless mouths that hovers in midair by no visible means and speaks with several voices slightly out of synch with each other. Though he commands cerebral magics and is often consulted on matters esoteric by the most potent necromancers, and also commands a respectable legion of various types of demons and a large, inhospitable tract of Hell, he is a fairly straightforward sort at heart(s) and his principle interest is devouring people alive (nearly-innocent people with one fatal flaw by preference, often after tricking them in some horrible bargain and/or with great pomp and ritual).

Starting off with the generic Demon template from this thread, glomming on a couple morphological things from the Elder God template, and eliminating hands is fun and easy! From there, I added the Basic Caster template (with the Magery and Lifebane options and Meta Spells), the Archcaster template x2 (with Knowledge and Movement spells), the Basic Trickster template (with the Perception and Trickster options), the Basic Brute template (with the HT and Gluttony options), the Greater Hardy Brute template, the Stolid Brute template, the Strange Trickster (Hypnotic Eye) template (contained within one eye only, which may be severed and thereby neutralized, but with line of sight range), the Strange Brute (Vampiric Aura) template (ditto the eye thing), the Epic Stone Visage power (ditto), and finally Blood Caster x3 to augment his relatively-unimpressive FP by munching people up (what else can he do? Guy doesn't have hands).

Strip everything except the Basic Brute template and the weird powers for a quick DIY version of a popular trademarked monster.

The High Priestess of Harharha'raror (Boss)

Brilliant in command on the battlefield, deadly in personal combat, sexy in strategically-placed bits of human leather, the "High Priestess" of Harharha'raror is actually more the General of his army, but nobody really argues with her about silly things like titles and job descriptions. She will defend herself with her masterful swordswomanship and her beguiling awe ability if cornered, but is too smart for tank tactics, doesn't wear anything with enough coverage to qualify as armor, and is rarely without a wall of heavily-armored demon knights to screen her from getting her dainty little hands dirty. She has a real name of her own, but it has been forgotten by all but her Prince - her title is enough to summon her by.

Notes: Costs 60 energy to summon. Will attempt to use Awe and Sex Appeal in negotiations. Truly Evil.
To build this Boss I started off with your basic Succubus, upthread, which is just the Generic Demon with Basic Trickster and Luscious Trickster. I then smartened her up with the Cunning Stalker template and the Clever Trickster template (mostly for the +IQ and Tactics), and made her a succubus who kicks ass with the Basic Brute template, the Greater Graceful Brute template, and the Swift Killer template.
