Dreamlands Pathfinder Bestiary: A Couple of Constructs

The following two monsters appear in the Call of Cthulhu adventure The Dreaming Stone, and have been converted here for use in Pathfinder games.

Lunar Knight

This seven-foot-tall humanoid is dressed in black full plate armor covered with baroque curliques, curves, and spikes. Its gauntlets are spiked, and it carries a long polearm wiht a crescent-shaped blade at the base of the spearhead (a ranseur). Two pale flames burn behind its visor in place of eyes.

Lunar knights are hollow suits of armor animated by Vredni Vorastor, the Man in the Moon, as guards for his mansion and person. They move surprisingly quietly for walking suits of animated armor.

A lunar knight's armor and weapons are masterwork items. The knight prefers to use its ranseur, but if it cannot maintain the minimum distance, it lashes out with its spiked armor or gauntlets. If the knight is destroyed, it collapses into a pile of metal shards and black sludge, its armor and gauntlets ruined beyond repair, but its ranseur remains.

The Whisperer in the Windmill

This creature is a hairless, gray, spider-like thing about the size of a large dog. It has a spongy mass for a head, with a vertical slit for a mouth, and no eyes.

The Whisperer in the Windmill is a unique construct created by Vredni Vorastor, the Man in the Moon, in order to torment the people of Ulthar. It is blind, but can read minds, and uses those thoughts to psychologically torture its victims.
