GIANT AMOEBA Solitary, Large, Amorphous
Acidic Grab (d10 damage) 12 HP, 0 armor
A giant amoeba is a shapeless mass of living, liquid protoplasm. Though naturally translucent with darker interior spots, its surface is slightly sticky and tends to collect dirt and other debris from its environment; therefore, a moving giant amoeba looks like muddy water. A weaker cousin of creatures such as the gray ooze and black pudding the giant amoeba is the result of an alchemist's experiment gone horribly wrong.

The wand uses one charge per function. It may not be recharged. Where applicable, saving throws should be made. After a user has exhausted its charges the wand will vanish only to reappear somewhere else.
These monster conversions were inspired by DCC Module Gnole House (in the DCC Quickstart Rules) which could act as as a neat prequel to my own Gibbelin Job Starter...

Lesser Gnole
Group, Organized, Hoarder
Brutal Weapon (d8 damage) 6 HP 0 armor
Close
Special Qualities: Cannibal, Evil Merchants
Gnoles go through two distinct life phases and lesser gnoles are the first stage. Lesser gnoles are man-sized, hulking creatures with a physique reminiscent of an ape. They have rubbery flesh covered with coarse, dark hair, and beady, piggish eyes of bright red. Lesser gnoles don’t typically wear clothing, but enjoy accessories such as hats, scarves, sashes, and oversized boots when they can find them. Their tongues are long and ribbon-like, and they can understand but not speak the Common tongue, communicating with one another in a complex language of purrs, whines, whistles, trills, and grunts. All gnoles live in family groups that mimic human society to the point of parody. They fight with clubs, axes, spears, and other brutal but simple weapons.

Greater Gnole
Solitary, Large
Tentacles (d10 damage) 16 HP 1 armor
Special Qualities: Gem Eyes, Tribal Gnole Leader
If a gnole is lucky enough to survive a century or more, it undergoes a metamorphosis, transforming into a greater gnole. Greater gnoles typically stand 7’ tall, but can grow up to twice that size. Their bodies are oval in shape, with nodules of rubbery flesh protruding from their torsos and abdomens. Greater gnoles lose their coarse fur, revealing its naked, slate gray skin. Their arms become tentacles and their ears are grown over with folds of flesh, rendering them largely deaf. Even stranger, the eyes of a greater gnole transform into faceted gemstones and can be removed from their sockets. These gemstones are often magical and a Greater Gnole will regrow new eyes if his old eyes are lost and will often keep spare sets of "eyes". If these are stolen the Greater Gnole will hunt down the thief with his or her tribe to capture and devour all of the thief and all of his or her comrades.

Here’s my attempt. I turned the grapple attack into a move and changed your monster moves so that they are giving the GM additional options rather than doubling up what the attack does. That’s something I learned from +Ray Otus. -Logan Howard on the Dungeon World Tavern websiteSpider of Ygiiz Group, Small, Devious, PlanarGrapple Attack (see the Cold Grasp move)6 HP 1 armorSpecial Qualities: Grapple AttackAmong the first beings drawn through Ogo’s starry portal, the spiders are not arachnids in the true sense. They most resemble enormous six-legged ticks, the size of large hounds. The Spiders are perfectly black, so dark that they reflect no light whatsoever, appearing as only the absence of any color, as if reality itself had been cut away in the Spider’s form. The Spiders wait for the PCs to enter the darkened garden before attacking—springing through the air and bearing their victims to the ground. The touch of the Spiders is as cold as the void, searing targets with frostbite. the Spider tears freezing chunks out of its victim, permitting a swarm of local natural spiders to swarm into the wound, eager to please their extra planar allies. The Spider of Ygiiz makes a final attack attempt, crushing the spiders infesting the wound, releasing a flood of toxins. Victims will fall into a coma and struggle to regain consciousness. Instinct: Serve Ygiiz, the Demon Spider-Mother- Scurry higher to attack from above- Attack one target as a group- Use normal spiders to distract preyAdapted from the classic DCC adventure "The Jeweler that Dealt in Stardust" by Harley Stroh.--------------------------------------------------Cold GraspWhen you find yourself pinned under the cold, unearthly body of a Spider of Ygiiz, roll + DEX – INFESTED.

Take 1d10 damage and 1 INFESTED.On a 6-, fall into a toxin induced coma. Describe the realm of the Demon Spider-Mother and Choose 1.- You are able to force yourself to wake up before the fighting is over. Take Shaky, Sick, and Weak.- You are out cold for the remainder of the fight but do not suffer from continued effects.
