Iso Onna are powerful vampire-like creature that live along rocky coastlines. From the waist up they take the appearance of a beautiful, lustful female. Dripping wet from the sea, with long black hair. From the waist down they have the body of a sea serpent or snake.

They are immune to charm, hold, and sleep spells. Electricity and cold does only half damage, they are unaffected by normal weapons, and they regenerate 3 hit points per round and must be destroyed by fire to prevent complete regeneration.

Iso Onna are immensely strong, and deal great blows that inflict 1d10 hit points of damage. These blows (or any other touch) further reduce the victim’s life energy by two levels, which consequently reduces all other traits linked to a loss in levels (attack ability, hit dice, etc.).
Isso Onna also have a charm gaze (as the charm person spell) that takes effect if a victim peers into a Iso Onna’s eyes. The victim may attempt a saving throw versus spells with a penalty of -2.
They do not have any other vampire abilities.

The Umi Bozu is a giant, found lurking in the seas. They have shadow black skin, and rounded hairless heads. They appear suddenly at night to waylay and attack passing ships.

Usually only their head and shoulders will appear above the water, leading to some speculation of their lower half. Some claim they serpentine in form below the waist, while others claim they are giant humanoid creatures. Some claim they are the spirits of monks that have drowned at sea.  While others maintain that they are in fact just sea monsters that make their lairs in caverns deep below the sea.
