Liquid Form (Su): At will, as a standard action, a marid can assume liquid form. This form is like gaseous form in all respects, except that the marid does not gain a fly speed, but retains its land and swim speeds.
Water Jet (Su): At will, as a standard action, a marid can direct his create water ability into a powerful stream that can be used as a ranged touch attack (+15 ranged atk). Subjects hit by the stream take 1d6+4 bludgeoning damage, and must succeed on a DC 20 Reflex save or be blinded for 1d4 rounds. Creatures with blindsight and similar means of "seeing" are not subject to the water jet's blinding effect. The save DC is constitution-based.

Gorgimera**

The Dao and the Marid are both in the (3.0) Manual of the Planes. The other 4 can all be found in Sword & Sorcery's revised (3.5) edition of the Tome of Horrors (available exclusively as a pdf download from, say, DriveThruRPG)
Keep up the good work!

Thanks, Mortepierre. I suspected that translations of these monsters might exist in a 3rd-party publication, but wasn't sure. I'll most likely get both of the resources you mentioned, as it might save me alot of tuime in the future! :D
For the Manual of the Planes, don't forget to download the conversion booklet from the WotC website. Makes it a lot easier to convert those critters to 3.5
There are corrections to WotC's dao conversions (and full stats for noble dao) in the beautiful Denizens of the Inner Planes download from planewalker.com. Pech are in that book, too.
Pech can be found in this thread.
