this is a template to be added to any non sentient creature ie horse etc..

Why do they get claw-like attacks? Your example (the horse) doesn't gain these attacks. Why would other animals?

Don't animals already usually have attacks with their front ends? I don't know if a new attack is entirely appropriate for these. Warhorses already have attacks, but, say, a Shadow-Twisted Crocodile would have rather pathetic, attacking with those little claws. I dunno, it just seems a little unnecessary to me.

He might be referring to the Blight Creature or Shadow Steed in Under the Dragon's Banner, which can be found on www.kinslayersdagger.com
I might be wrong though.
I think you've got a good idea going here. There's a difference between Blight-twisted and Shadow-twisted.

nm I was thinking the blight creature template on page 109 of UtDB, but he is right, there is a difference between blight-twisted creatures and shadow-twisted creatures, albight not a huge difference.

netbooks can be found under downloads at http://www.kinslayersdagger.com/

you can modify the entry but i agree on that modify it to be primary attack(s) are enhanced instead
