A poster known as themattjon formerly known as oldschooler posted the following on Knights & Knaves Alehouse back in 2005 but it was deleted from that site several years ago and themattjon has not been seen in years. I am posting this here because he posted it freely for others to use. If themattjon wants this removed please let me know.

Although a fearsome beast, the amam will not attack those with a completely pure heart, but since such adult individuals are very rare, the amam is greatly feared. Amam are immune to any form of illusion, charm or mind control magic and speak their own language.

Enemies of chaos, amkihui will attack chaotic creatures and those chaotically aligned draining 1 point of Strength. Amkihiu, however, will never intentionally drain all the strength from a creature and will only drain 1 point each before departing. Amkihui are friends of law and each can restore up to 1 point of Strength loss due to attacks by the undead. Amkihiiu are often found in proximity to tombs either as guardians or to counter and watch the undead.
