Thanks for the quick reply I appreciate it, looking forward to the finished product, btw i wanted to start with a party of shinra fighting in the wutai war, subbing the wutai soldiers for MPs was easy enough but for foulanders i figured using the guard dog stat block and replacing tentacle whip with fire dance (basically just casting fire on every visible player) would you say that sounds about right?
That's a great idea for a campaign!! Oh it makes me so happy to imagine campaigns being run in this world.
If they're going to be low-level, using my formula to make the Foulander might present a massive challenge for them:

Definitely a boss monster for your Shinra grunts!
Looking at the Flame Dance MP cost and spell power, it's essentially a Fire2-All spell, aka the classic Fireball spell. It gets three uses of this spell before its exhausted its MP (in the video game, it would get six uses! I think the natural limitation on MP in my system would encourage the creature to use it more sparingly, mimicking the OG's more random AI). If your characters have 15 HP or less, this monster should be considered a party-killer. Of course, that could play into the adventure -- the Shinra team might have to trick it into "wearing itself out" before moving in to attack directly. Without the fireball spell, its biggest challenge is the high HP.
note: Since I haven't made a monster this far into the game as of yet, I'm noticing that my CR calculator is wayyyy off. This is definitely not a CR 20 monster, even with 3 fireballs up its sleeve. I took a wild stab and made it a CR 5, which is the same as a Night Hag or the specialist wizards from Volo's Guide to Monsters. Just... watch the fireball

edit: Of course, you could just as easily halve the levels of this creature. I've rigged up a "young foulander" which is a more appropriate challenge for a Level 1 party:
