Animal specific templates?

[Angel Tarragon]

I was wondering if there are any animal specific templates. I could use a good two or three. I need one that makes them more savage, more chaotic. And another that can turn a neutral animal evil. And possibly a third that can make them into a magical beast that gives them random magical abilities.

Check out the following:

• Fiendish creature
• Beast of Xvim (from Monsters of Faerun)
• Corrupted Creature (Book of Vile Darkness)
• Frenzy dog (search for it on WOTC's website)
• Horrid animal (Eberron CS)
• Monstrous beast from SS
• Rage-infected creature (search on Andy Collins' site)

Most of these aren't specific to animals, but will work on 'em.

The Ti-Khana template (Fiend Folio) can be applied to any reptilian animal and changes its type to magical beast, giving it (non-random) psionic abilities among other things.

I'm not 100% sure it will suit your needs, but there is also the Dire Template that appeared in the Tome of Horrors I. You can DL the 3.5e update here:

Thanks, DnDChick! That definetely helps!

There's also Warbeast from MMII and Magebread Animal from Eberron Campaign Setting, both of which I believe are applied strictly to animals. Also, thanks for the link for the Dire Animal template.

There's the Rune Animal and Totem Spectre in Legacy of the Dragons. Also, the spirit animal (or something) in Frostburn.

Don't forget Beasts of Chaos from ToH...sounds like that'd be right on target.

Savage ghost from Savage Species would apply to animals.
