How about one more preview of the soon-to-be-released PDF of Greek/Roman mythological magic items and monsters? I’ve already posted fluff text for the mares of Diomedes. Here’s the rough draft stat block:

The biggest, baddest monster in the PDF is the CR 15 Python, a unique dragon formed from the primordial ooze of creation. Python lairs in a vast series of caves, into the uppermost of which seep the Delphic mists:

Delphic Mists
These magical vapors rise from the earth itself in rear of the uppermost cave of Python’s lair. Any creature with Int 13+ and Wis of 18+ who inhales these vapors must make a DC 15 Fortitude save or become fatigued. Furthermore, if the breather fails this saving throw, it gains the ability to use divination as a spell-like ability. This spell-like ability must be used within 5 rounds of failing the save, and it can only be once per failed saving throw against the fatiguing effects of the Delphic mists.
