General Rules: Monsters - Anarchic Creature (Template)

Anarchic Creature (from the Manual of the Planes)

Anarchic creatures dwell in the planes of chaos, the realms of disorder. Although they may resemble creatures from the Three worlds, they appear less finished, their features more rough and uneven, their fur or scales blotched and tattered, their appearance more ragged and horrific. They are also called the Unfinished, and some say they were first drafts abandoned to the roiling planes of chaos by forgotten creators.

"Anarchic" is a template that can be added to any corporeal aberration, animal, dragon, fæy, giant, humanoid, magical beast, monstrous humanoid, plant, or vermin of good or neutral alignment. Animals or vermin become magical beasts, but otherwise the creature type is unchanged. it gains the subtype "chaotic". Anarchic creatures encountered in the Three Worlds have the "extraplanar" subtype. An anarchic creature uses all of the base creature's abilities except as noted here.
