I'm not sure that this would actually be considered a spoiler, but I marked it anyway, just in case.
I am currently about half way through R.A. Salvatore's The Orc King, and I was wondering if anyone can tell me what the extra planar creatures that Drizzt, Regis, and the dwarves encounter when they first go down the hole in Fell Pass are?

| Nightshades |

The weird lizard things with three eyes and mandibles, that stood up on their tails and attacked? Those things are called Nightshades? Anyone know where I can find their stats?
Personally, Salvatore's description of them kind of made me think of the creatures from Tremors 2. (I think it was 2 anyway, the one where they were walked around above ground and sensed heat). Either those things or that creature from one episode of Dark Angel. I think the thing was called a Gossamer, but it tracked by scent and spit this paralyzing mucus that hardened around it's victim. 
Oh yeah almost forgot, thanks for the answer dwarvenranger. |

| If you give me the chapter (and preferably the pages) then I will go back and read it and see if I can figure it out. It has been close to a year since I read it. |

| My bad, I thought you were talking about the large shadowy creatures they fought. It's been a while since I read the book as well. |

Hey Bane, you were right. Edition 3.5, Vol. I of the Monster Manual has the Ethereal Marauder, and judging from the description and the picture, that is definitely the creature I was looking for.
