These are not part of my Candyland adventure, but I was playing around with them anyway. These are the famous stuffed animals really popular in my youth, never had one (or wanted one) but they are a neat little creature to have wandering around the faelands. They are travelers and defenders of the weak. I couldn't really fit them in my con adventure though, but I probably will with a later game.

Special
Calming Effect: They emote a 60 ft radius of calm on animals or other creatures of low or no intelligence.
Emotion Blast: This is the Care Bears primary defensive technique. They study how to manipulate emotion it not for personal wealth but to deflect danger or help when someone is being threatened. Three times a day, they can blast a strong emotion up to sixty feet, granting a +/- 8 to a particular type of saving throws. (Fear, Charm, etc) There is no saving throw directly to this affect as it adjusts other creatures reactions. Higher level care bears have stronger affects, increase by 50% each additional HD advancement level.
Care Bears are emotional manipulators, best known for their capacity to relieve stress and help outsiders in the fey realm. Once they traveled extensively in the mortal realms, helping children and others in their tasks and dreams. Now they stick mostly to the fae realms, doing the same type of tasks but in much more safer means.
Appear as medium sized colorful bears. They don`t need to wear clothing or carry weapons. Their most definitive feature is a large emotional emblem on their chest. They use this to use their emotion blast. Their colour and emblems are usually very different, as groups of anti-depression bears for instance don`t congregate together. While it is assumed their home is in the faelands, nobody is quite sure if they have a a homeland anymore, as they usually don`t congregate in groups of more than half a dozen bears. They don't speak about their past, or in their words, "Don't dwell on the negative."
They are strong defenders of weaker beings and much beloved by fae and many others in Candyland. They are quick to get involved with anyone in trouble. While it cannot be proven, many believe that these bears have a means of being re-born, as they show no fear or hesitation in regards to combat with negative or evil forces.

Card Soldiers (Candyland)
Apart of the Candyland game I am putting together. There are dozens of different colours or design on their back. Each is part of a distinct card family. They can be aligned or enemies of each other, for the outsider, there is no way to tell who works with which other family.

Advancement: Unless they get promoted, No Advancement
SPECIAL ABILITIES
Paired Attack: Card soldiers are trained to attack from all sides of an opponent. As long as there is a two to one ratio and enough room for them to maneuver. they gain +2 to their attacks on foes.
Appear as five foot tall by two and a half feet wide playing card with a distinct coloured pattern on their backside. When they move or intereact with objects (including combat) they no longer appear to be 2-dimensional beings, instead they are fully recognized 3D creatures.
Playing Cards were once considered a magical construct controlled by a master, objects that had a defined purpose. At some point in the near past, a group of them found a way to escape from their master's evil purposes to become free. Now they work as a self-contained group, independent and free to make allies among other free-willed beings. Primary purpose is always to to find 54 unscathed corpses from four distinct races to complete their deck. But they also look for well-defendable sites to make their lairs.
There are four ranks, Low (2-5), Junior (6-8), Mid (9-10) and Senior (J-Q-K-A-Joker). All senior levels have distinct ability by suit.

Munchkin (Candyland Citizens)
This is the basic citizen of Candyland, small sized fey humanoids that excel in empathy. They are usually farmers or crafters, and most reside in small towns along the Golden Brickway, the usual road taken in Candyland to get to anywhere.

Fey Empathy: Able to get simple base emotions from fey creatures. With this, they gain +4 bonus on social skills (Bluff, Diplomacy, Intimidate, Perform, Sense Motive) interacting with that fey. If they gain levels, they gain this simple empathy from animals, plants and humanoid types.
New Feat: Grouping: Munchkin are a collective, they tend to do everything in groups. They gain +1 for every two other munchkin completing a task. They can have up to 10 others (+5) for simple tasks, and up to 20 other munchkin (+10) if they have a Munchkin of 4 HD or higher leading their actions. They can perform this as long as half of the members haven't done this with the same team.
It is unknown if the Munchkin were the first natural inhabitants of Candyland or not, but they have been here for so long they treat it like home. Short, plump with pointy ears, they are often mistaken for halflings. They are very hard workers, they do not always excel in everything but they put an effort in everything they do. Most reside in the small towns that dot Candyland's Golden Brickway. They usually do not form governments, however they will sometimes adhere to the rule of powerful magical spell-casters (like wizards) who reside in the area.
Munchkin are generally well disposed of with each other and with the citizenry of Candyland. They communicate before they do tasks, as they are always better with explicit instructions then vague ones. They work very well in small teams, and virtually every group of them seems to have a bard among them so they can sing along to do their daily tasks in near perfect pitch.
They are extremely passive and highly unlikely to cause a social disturbance. In times of trouble, they tend to hide or just not get involved unless there is a champion (usually from the outside.) Because of their empathy skills, they can usually avoid bad interactions with most creatures except of course for evil creatures that are outside their skill set.

Pinocchio (Candyland)
A Candyland resident brought in to act as replacement children. Normally these reside with human or elf residents, acting as a servant and helping in mundane tasks. They often go out at night-time looking for some fun, this is when they get into trouble or find mates to adventure with.

Advancement: Above 3 HD they gain class levels, most tend to gain rogue levels.
SPECIAL ABILITIES
Spell Affinity: Unlike most constructs, human spells (charm, healing, etc) work normally on a Pinochio. They are healed by construct spells as well.
Human Appearance (Ex) Designed to fit the role of a human child, a pinocchio appears identical to one when 30 feet or more away. They gain +8 bonus on Disguise checks to appear human (but not to impersonate a specific human).
Vulnerable to critical hits - Despite being constructs, they are vulnerable to critical hits, although they cannot bleed
These were originally made by an famous wood-carver for parents who lost their children due to a curse. Most were loved and cared for for many years, but they were eventually put-aside as a new generation of human children were being born and they were no loner needed. A fey bard cast a spell to bring these marionettes to Candyland, and in doing so the magic of the realm brought them to life. Since this point, many have been adopted both to help in doing chores and care for children or other simple tasks. They are unaging but prone to being broken due to injury - this is how many become so brittle they are unable to continue in their tasks.
Most Pinocchios are happy to live their lives in a semi-human, existence. A few try to become more, to become fully human or to lose their humanity and to fully embrace their construct nature. Some skip out at night to go on fun adventures, and a few become embroiled in wild adventurers, on either side of the conflict - they generally don't care as long as they are having fun.
Individual Pinocchios are of any alignment, most tend towards good, but with the wrong influences, some will head in an evil direction, looking for wealth or to inflict cruelty for their own self above all else.
*Constructs on Nyssa gain 10 on their constitution scores. they do not gain benefits or hindrances from this ability score. As a general rule, this is a fixed number that does not change and they cannot lose hit points or be drained.

Freeze (Ex) The creature can hold itself so still it appears to be an inanimate object of the appropriate shape (a statue, etc ). The creature can take 20 on its Stealth check to hide in plain sight as this kind of inanimate object.
Gourd-Men are a farmer's tool meant to scare avians away from their stock, in candyland (and in some other magically innate domains) they become infused by the magic of the land to come to life. Appear as a rudimentary mundane scarecrows, with an intricately carved pumpkin or other gourd for their head. They are usually armed with a club or scythe.
While physically awkward and of adequate intelligence, they are invaluable to farmers and travelers who come to rely on them for their advice. They are not book-smart, but they have considerable experience of working on the farm and interacting with animals and fey that inhabit the lands. Unlike many other candyland residents, they are ill-disposed to adventure but they sometimes fall into it to help out someone they know. They have considerable attachment to the farmer that created them, and once they gain sentience, will help them and their families doing chores around the farmstead. Gourd-Men speak very little, even to the ones they care about, for them, they show their emotions by doing kind-hearted actions instead.
It is not possible for Gourd-Men to gain experience as they very rarely adventure. However, some farmers will pay for improvements to increase their HD with a local spell-caster. Higher level ones often gain animal empathy or fear abilities to better ward their homes.

Teddy Bear Golem (Candyland)
These Candyland favorites are not natives, as they reside principally in our own land of Mundania. They are children's defenders who have served a mortal child to adulthood, they can sleep-travel to Candyland to help visitors there. Most times they help one child for a night or two, then the child gets a good night sleep and no longer needs them.
Teddy Bear Golem
Size/Type: Tiny Construct
Hit Dice: 2d10 (11 hp)

Speed: 20 ft. (4 squares)
Armor Class: 15 (+2 size, +1 Dex, +2 natural)

Feats: Improved Holding On
Alignment Neutral Good
Environment: Candyland
Organization: Solitary or pair
Challenge Rating: 1
Advancement: 3-8 HD (Small), 9-16 (Medium)
Immune to Magic - Similar to other golem types, Teddy Bears have immunities to mind affecting and other spells.
Sleepytime - Wielder gains the benefits of a full night of sleep as long as they rested for 2 hours (non-cumulative) during the preceding night
Immune to Fear and Charm effects: Those who hold on to the Teddy Bear are granted immunity to fear and charm spells. This bonus is only given to one person at a time, and usually for the smallest or weakest character in a group. This immunity is not granted if the wielder carries the Teddy Bear in a backpack - it must be visible. Also, if the person commits evil actions, the Teddy Bear will stop giving any kind of help.
New feat: Improved Holding: Gain +12 on skill checks or saving throws involved in physically holding on to their ward
It is said that when little kids grow up in the land of Mundania, many toys are misplaced, given away or worse, but there rare few are kept in special places that never stop defending the smallest. They often go missing in the nighttime in their native land, but Candyland residents have long known that Teddy Bears in fact are one of the primary defenders of the lost or accidental visitors in their demi-plane dream realm.
They go to well traveled spots where they believe visitors may be found. Children are the primary users of the Teddy bears but any mortal creatures may use them if they are found and carried around for safety. Teddy bears have weak voices, as they are only able to be heard within the same five foot square foot they are in. They will try to give advice if asked, but only when asked. Their primary concern is always the safety of their ward not of any other well intentioned goal

Children are the primary users of the Teddy bears but any mortal creatures may use them if they are found and carried around for safety. Teddy bears have weak voices, as they are only able to be heard within the same five foot square foot they are in. They will try to give advice if asked, but only when asked. Their primary concern is always the safety of their ward not of any other well intentioned goal

Tin Man
Continuing with the creatures that are in my newly created Candyland, for an upcoming con adventure. Here is the consummate warden, the ever shiny and vigilant Tin Man.
Tin Man (Lesser Golem) CR 3
LN (G) Medium Sized construct
Init +1; Senses darkvision 60 ft., low-light vision; Perception +3
DEFENSE
AC 15, touch 11, flat-footed 14 (+1 Dex, +4 natural)
HP 36 (3d10+20)
Fort +1, Ref +2, Will +1
DR 1/-; Immune construct traits, magic
OFFENSE
Speed 30 ft.
Melee +6 Sharpened Wood Axe (1d6+2/18-20)
Space 5 ft.; Reach 5 ft.
STATISTICS
Str 14, Dex 13, Con 10*, Int 10, Wis 11, Cha 10
Base Atk +5; CMB +7; CMD 16
Feats Weapon Focus (Axe), Skill Focus (Perception)
Skills +4 Survival, +4 Perception, +5 Knowledge (Candyland or Forest),
Environment Candyland
Organization solitary or gang (2–4)
Treasure none
Special Attacks: Sharp Axe - Increase critical range by 2 after three days of sharpening
Special Weakness: Heavy rain or water spells will inflict rusting, causing them to lose full motion. If they are at half hit points due to water damage, they move at 50% speed, if they are at 5% of hit points due to water damage, they lose all physical motion until they are oiled up again.
Tin Men were created long ago by The Great Wizard to help protect Candyland for the times when he was away from his post They were originally stationed at cross-roads, bridges and castles and all other places of high traffic to be gardeners and wardens, to alert the Candy Cane soldiers when problems appeared and assist when force had to be used. Though originally non-sentient like most other Golem types, they eventually became self-aware as the magical energies of the demi-plane soaked into them. Most are not overly smart or wise or highly charismatic, but they certainly do their jobs quite well and are dedicated to the people, places and magic of Candyland.
Most Tin Men will return to their station posts after getting the authorities, but a rare few will engage in quests if they believe it is in the interest of Candyland or the inhabitants. They are uninterested in personal glory or wealth, they are happiest doing their task - alone or with others is meaningless for them as they seem to be uninterested in building personal relationships. Strangely, many citizens that reside near particular Tin Men grow very fond of them, and the citizens realize the Tin Men do not understand or can even appreciate as they often do not pick up on their positive emotional feelings for them.
Higher Level Advancement (HD)
4 HD +3 skill points, Feat, DR 3/Magic, Increase any 2 ability scores by +2
5 HD +3 skill points , Gain Natural AC +2
6 HD +3 skill points, Track, Increase Wood Axe's Critical range (+1)
7 HD +3 skill points, Feat, DR 5/Magic, Increase any 2 ability scores by +2
8 HD +3 skill points, Gain Natural AC +2
9 HD +9 skill points, Feat, DR 9/Magic, Increase Wood Axe's Critical range (+2), Increase any 3 ability scores by +2
Few Tin Men ever attain 9 HD as they need to adventure and this would mean venturing away from their post which they are highly unlikely to do. In theory, as free-willed constructs they could gain levels in Fighter, Ranger, Paladin or Rogue. It has not been recorded if a Tin Men has ever tried to achieve class levels before 10 HD / level.
Gain Natural AC - These are physical improvements and better quality metal used in their bodies.
DR - The damage reduction is for non-magic weapons only.
Weapon Critical Range - They can increase any axe or bladed weapon`s critical range. It takes one week per range increase. The Tin Man must continually sharpen it, otherwise it slowly loses its sharpness after one day being uncared for. It will lose one +1 for each successive day it is not sharpened.
Construct Constitution - In my games constructs have 10 on their constitution. They do not gain or lose hit points, it always remains at this point and it cannot be drained.

Winged Monkeys
Another one of the Candyland Monsters that will make an appearance at a local con I am doing very soon. This is a winged pest, that once served evil masters but today is mostly a nuisance. They make a great companion for evil druids or witches.

It is believed these creatures were an
experiment in cross-breeding by one of Candyland's former Witch
Mistresses. They have since escaped and bred wild.
At one time, their flocks numbered in
the hundreds, and they could turn the bright pink sky black as they
descended to attack creatures or travelers. But when their masters
lost access to the huge revell (corn) fields, they could not be controlled and the
flocks broke apart to look for food on their own. Now they mostly
survive by raiding or harassing farmlands or sniping travelers.. They can be quite cunning, using their stealth to sneak in and take small objects but they usually just us their numbers to take what they want by strength.
This is the typical specimen, there are more advanced versions that sometimes advance HD in fighter, rogue or druid levels. Some evil druids select these creatures as minions but only if they have been to Candyland previously.

Eggston (Egg Man)
I was preparing a fairy tale adventure and needed some storybook monsters. Didn't really find any monsters that fit the Egg-type mold and was inspired to create my Eggston. A bit serious but a kind-hearted fey, they hold important positions in Candyland, a demi-plane of sweet delight.
Eggston (Egg Man)
Medium Sized Fey
Hit Dice: 11 hp (2d6+4 con)
Initiative: +2 (dexterity)
Speed: 30 ft
AC: 13 (+2, dexterity, +1 natural)
Base Atk +1 CMB +3 CMD 15 (Trip 18)
Melee Attacks: +0 Cudgel (1d6)
Range Attacks: +3 Small Crossbow (1d4)
Special Attacks: Rolling Attack +6 (Trip)
Special Qualities: Rolling, DR 1 / Blades and Missiles
Saves: Fort +2, Ref +5, Will +2
Abilities: Str 8, Dex 14, Con 15, Int 12, Wis 8, Cha 14
Skills: +5 Acrobatics , +5 Climb , +4 Diplomacy, +4 Knowledge (local & Fey) +5 Perception
Feats: Weapon Focus (Roll)
Climate/Terrain: Candyland or any Neutral Planar World
Organization: Solitary, Pair or by Pack (3-10)
Challenge Rating: 2
Treasure: None
Alignment: Usually neutral (tends towards LN)
Advancement Range: 3-7 HD (Medium)
Disadvantage: Suffer a -4 on saving throws versus crushing & blunt falling damage
Rolling Attack: Dropping to their side as an instant action, they gain a +6 to their rolling attacks in an attempt to trip up their foes. They roll back to their feet in the same round of an attack. They must be able to roll between ten to twenty feet. If the Eggston succeeds on their CMD check, the opponent is knocked down. If they fail by ten or more vs the opponent's CMD, they end their turn on the prone.
A famous humanoid race found throughout Candyland. Appear as a five foot tall egg with short legs and arms. Most wear clothing to fit in with humanoids they interact with but in their own shell-towns they normally only wear their bare white or brown egg shell.
There are many races and creatures found in Candyland, some as travelers or adventurers, but the Egg-shaped Eggston is one of the few true native inhabitants. They are looked to for advice and often given minor positions of authority as they have an intelligence that is thoroughly respected though sometimes misplaced. They are keen to help visitors, and in some instances their advice will actually help. Many times their apparent sophistication is for naught, as they rarely admit that they do not know, and can give false information and not even realize it. Because of their dutiful nature, they rarely turn away from tasks that help defend their posts. The rare Eggston above 7 HD gain levels in bard, rogue, or fighter.
Higher Level HD
3 HD Acrobatics & Climb (Add 3 X HD to Jump and Climb Skill Scores), See Invisible, +1 Natural AC, +6 Skills Points
4 HD Gain +2 to any two ability scores, Immunity to Charm Spells, +1 Natural AC, Feat, +6 Skills Points

7 HD Gain +2 to any two ability scores, SR 15, DR 5/Blades and Missiles , Feat, +6 Skill Points
See Invisible (Su): Due to their keen senses, they have a 85% chance, before rolling a perception check to determine if there are invisible creatures in their line of sight. This increases to 95% if the creature is within twenty feet of them.
Bonus to Jump and Climb skills: Eggston are very adept at quickly moving around, getting a bonus equal to three times current HD to their base skill before rolling d20. They get these adjustments 2 + Cha bonus
Immunity to Natural Poison: Immunity to natural poisons found in the woods - usually from animals or reptiles and those directly from plants. This gives a +4 to manufactured poison saving throws.
