This post relates to that, so allow me to mention the obvious: this post might have a spoiler or two for Carrion Crown book 2, "Trial of the Beast."
So while I'm putting that together, I figured that I might post something that I made for book 2 of Carrion Crown. It is the Flesh Golem Hound that one encounters in Vorkstag & Grines Chymic Works. Pathfinder has its own special rules for this variant flesh golem, but what I did was simpler than just trying to convert the monster. There is, very fortunately, a blog listed in my blogroll called the Generic Universal Eggplant that provides spells, alchemical formulas, and, of course, monsters. Nearly everything is a translation from D&D (seems like mostly 3rd edition). So fortunately, there was a flesh golem that I could use in making this beast. Rather than attempt to convert each of the special features of the flesh golem hound, I took the large guard dog of B457 and applied the Enraged Eggplant flesh golem template -- voila. It's not exactly as powerful or threatening as it was in Pathfinder, but I was satisfied. If I were an enslaved mongrelman working in the chymic works, I might be deterred from escaping if it were guarding my only escape.
