Retriever(Str 31, Demon)がようやく30の大台に乗りますがどこで死体を手に入れればいいのか。Owlbear(Str 29)で我慢しましょう。Brown Bear(Str 27)の強大化もここで終わり。

Elephant(Str 30)が地味に3回攻撃です。さらに牙の攻撃がなぜか唯一の主要武器扱い。あとはぱっとしませんので強大化クリーチャーで対応します。GargantuanになったWyvern(Str 35)はDragon族の面目躍如。HugeであればLammasu(Str 31)，Girallon(Str 30)，Howler(Str 29)あたりが候補でしょう。特にGirallonは接敵面と間合いが等しく，主要武器で4回攻撃なので，この先ずっと重宝します。
なんとなくよく見かける気がするOwlbear(Str 29)も悪くない選択肢です。

Wyvernのダメージの3d6と3d8はIncreased Damage By Size表には載っていないのですが，Larger and Smaller Weapon Damage表に準じて強化しました。ちなみにAC25の敵に対するWyvernのfull attackのダメージ期待値は22。同CRの標準モンスターと比べればずいぶん健闘していますが，プレイヤーを驚かせるには至らないでしょう。低いBABのせいでGrapple checkも1回しかできません。

Dire Bear(Str 31)はLargeクリーチャーで唯一の30超えではないでしょうか。Glabrezu(Str 31, Demon)は5回攻撃が強力ですが現実的ではありません。11HDで挙げたクリーチャーをそのまま強大化して使ってください。
