Introduction
Behold! For there are beasts wild and majestic in the wilderness. Intrepid wanderers ventured to catalog them all within these lowly tomes so that you might know them well. These creatures, these beasts of the realms, are known well to us all through legends and folklore. But now thou might know them also and make with them what you will. Or something like that The following are statistics using the Sundered Epoch: Generations species rules and includes some guidelines on designing creatures for your games. Each creature listed is designed as a fully detailed character. All creatures, characters, monsters, etc. are referred to as Non-Player Characters (NPC) and the term is often used interchangeably. These sample creatures represent an average adult example of the creature. Just like with characters, some variation is expected and the Narrator should feel free to modify the creatures as appropriate for his/her game. This document will be updated frequently. Each version will include a revision number. If significant changes are made, such as the inclusion of a new set of species, it will be considered a full version change (thus 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 and so on). Minor revisions to add new races or make corrections will be minor versions (thus 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, etc.)

Designing Animals & Monsters

When designing your own monsters or animals for the game you will probably want to follow some basic guidelines for consistency. For example, larger animals are able to cause more damage with their natural weapons, are heavier, and are typically stronger than smaller animals. The Narrator can feel free to ignore these guides particularly with magical creatures such as dragons, unicorns, ghosts, and so on.
Creature Description
One of the most important parts of a creatures design is its description. The samples below provide a brief physical description of the creature. We have further tried to include some details on combat tactics and special abilities, a summary of the creatures ecology or social role and how the creature fits into the economy of the world. All of these details help the Narrator and players develop plots, rewards, and help make the creature seem more than just a bunch of numbers on paper.
Creature Size
The creatures size affects a number of things as summarized in the Creature Size table. The Size of the creature is relative to humans and measured in meters or centimeters. The Weight column shows a general guide to how heavy a creature of that size might be. Creature Size
Size Miniscule 3-6 cm Fine 6-12 cm Diminutive 12-25 cm Tiny 25-50 cm Small 0.5-1 m Medium 1-2 m Large 2-4 m Huge 4-8 m Gigantic 8-16 m Colossal 16-32 m Weight Less than kg Less than 1 kg Up to 1 kg 1-4 kg 4-30 kg 30-250 kg 250-2000 kg 2000-16,000 kg 16,000-125,000 kg 125,000+ T# 24 22 20 18 16 14 12 10 8 6 Resilience 0 1 2 3 4 5 7 9 13 21 Base Glance 1d5 Instant 1d5 Instant 1d5 Instant 1d5 Instant 1d5 Temp 1d5 Temp 1d5 Physical 2d5 Physical 4d5 Physical 8d5 Physical Glance Mod -4d5 -3d5 -2d5 -1d5 None None +1d5 +2d5 +4d5 +8d5
The T# column gives the base Target Number based on the creatures Target Size. If the creature is unusually proportioned, you can use the average of the creatures height and width to determine the creatures size. Thus a 3 meter long snake that is only 0.5 meters thick might be considered a medium creature (3.5 2 = 1.75). The Resilience column shows the typical average Resilience score for a creature of that size. This can be because of either a change in Strength or Health or both. Thus a large sized ogre might have a 7 Strength and 7 Health or it might have a 9 Strength and 5 Health. Base Glance represents the creatures unarmed glance dice. Unarmed attacks are assumed to cause crushing
damage and can be increased if the creatures unarmed attack is a slash or pierce instead of crushing.
Glance Mod refers to the modifier gained from using human-sized weapons. Thus, a large creature using a human sized sword gains a +1d5 bonus to that swords normal Glance. However, if the Glance Mod is negative and reduces a weapons Glance to 0d5, then the weapon causes 1d5 Temporary Glance. If the Glance reduces to -1d5 or lower, then the weapon causes Instantaneous damage.
Attributes
Most animals or monsters use the six Core Attributes of Agility, Health, Strength, Intellect, Influence, and Willpower. However, some creatures can have Optional Attributes just like full-blown characters. Creating creatures is treated exactly like making characters. See the Core Rules for guidelines on creating characters and the optional rules for Non-Human Species. However, if you do not want to fully flesh out a creature, you can use the Simplified Statistics guidelines later.

Abilities
All creatures can have special abilities including skills, powers, and natural abilities.
Skills
All animals have the following basic skills: Climb Intimidate Movement Perception Stealth Unarmed Combat
However, these are not the only skills monsters or animals can have. Many predators have additional combat skills.
Natural Abilities
Natural Abilities are the actions that a creature is capable of performing due to its physical form including its methods of movement, extra limbs, and so on. These abilities are described in detail in the Non-Human Species rules.
Powers
Mythical and magical creatures often have powers supernatural spell-like abilities. This can include the mesmerizing gaze of a vampire or the ability of Medusa to turn people to stone. Each of these abilities should be described in detail and are treated like a skill for purposes of attacks and defense. The Shot Accuracy of a power is based on an Attribute plus the creatures skill in the ability. Thus a vampire with a 7 Focus and 6 Mesmerizing Gaze has a 13 SA. Targets of these abilities can attempt to resist them using an appropriate resistance skill like resist magic, resist poison, and so on. Some of these abilities can be dodged or blocked as if they were physical attacks. Powers can be used once per day per point of the skill. Our vampire above has a Mesmerizing Gaze of 6 so can attempt to use the power six times per day.
Combat Variables
All normal NPCs follow the standard guidelines for calculating Combat Variables. Use the guidelines from the Core Rules.
Simplified Statistics
Simplified NPC
Experience Novice Exceptional Heroic Legendary Godlike Attribute 5 6 7 8 9 Skill 2 4 6 8 10 PSA 7 10 13 16 19 SSA 5 6 7 8 6 USA 2 3 3 4 4
Skill As with the attribute, all skills are summarized as a single score. A characters skill will typically be based on his Starting Experience. Primary SA (PSA = Attribute + Skill) The Primary Shot Accuracy (PSA) is the sum of the attribute and skill and is used for any skill checks that directly relate to the characters occupation. Secondary SA (SSA = Attribute) Secondary SA is used for skill checks that are not primary roles for the characters occupation, but might be related. A warrior might use his SSA for climbing checks for example. The SSA is equal to the characters Attribute score. Unskilled SA (USA = Attribute) Skills that are unrelated to the characters occupation use the USA which is equal to of the characters Attribute (rounded down). Thus a warrior that tries to use a magical scroll would use the USA. Abilities All creatures can have abilities that modify their basic stats.
All NPCs can be simplified. The following guidelines are intended for creating characters as quickly as possible. As a result, the Narrator will need to allow for some common sense judgment calls during play. The Simplified NPC table provides some basic starting points based on the NPCs experience level. Attribute Simplified NPCs have one attribute score which represents the average of all normal attributes. Most characters have an attribute of 5. If using non-human species, you can still use the Attribute modifiers for the species if you choose. Typically the characters attribute will follow their Starting Experience.

Combat Variables
All simplified creatures have Combat Variables that are based on the PSA, SSA, or USA. Calculate each Combat Variable using the guidelines from the Core Rules. Initiative Modifier Generally speaking a simplified NPC uses the SSA as the Initiative Modifier. Target Number As with normal characters, the Target Number is based on the Target Size. See the Creature Size table. Stun Number The SN is equal to whatever Shot Accuracy is appropriate for the NPC. A prey animal will typically use its SSA for the Stun Number where a predator typically uses its PSA. A non-combat character such as a merchant will likely have an SN equal to their USA. But a warrior, soldier, or mercenary might use their PSA. A hunter, pirate, or some other tough occupation might use the SSA for Stun. Dodge SA Characters with physical occupations like gymnasts, dancers, soldiers, etc. will use their PSA for the Dodge SA value while less physical occupations will use either the SSA or USA. Weapon Accuracy Just like with the Stun Number, a characters occupation will determine their base Shot Accuracy with a weapon. Add or subtract bonuses and penalties for weapon types as appropriate. Armor Rating If the NPC is wearing armor, record it appropriately. Simplified NPCs generally use the Total AR with minimal details. Weapons/Equipment Most simplified NPCs will be equipped with the same equipment. Thus if you have a squad of ten Trolls, they will all use clubs or axes or wear the same armor. However, feel free to mix up their equipment as appropriate for the scene.

Animals
The following animals are provided as a point of reference to compare with the creatures of other worlds that have been discovered. Only a small selection of animals are presented. Note that most animals do not use Optional Attributes. If an Optional Attribute is needed for a skill check then assume that the score is 5.
Bear, Black
Description: Black bears are fairly small in comparison to other bears such as the Grizzly bear or polar bear, but they are very common in forests near civilization. Black bears are often shorter than humans, but outweigh most humans by 20-50 kg. They have short snouts and relatively small eyes and a snout that juts several centimeters from their face. Their mouths are filled with sharp teeth that can easily tear meat from bone. Their hides are covered in black or brown fur that can sometimes turn red from sun-bleaching. Threat Assessment: In most cases, a black bear will run away from humans, but if it is protecting its young, food, or territory, black bears will often charge and trample their opponents. If pressed, they attack with both claws and bite until their opponent is no longer a threat. Only starving bears will eat humans.

Bears have naturally thick hides and strong muscles which gives them a bit of protection from injury. However, most bears will flee if they are injured or scared by loud noises. Ecology: Black bears are omnivores and survive on meat from insects, fish and wild game, but most of their food is vegetation. Mother bears will often have 2-3 young that they will care for about 3 years. While it is common to see more than one bear together, they often hunt alone. During winter, black bears will hibernate for 3-5 months until the temperature rises. Economy: In modern times, only licensed hunters are allowed to hunt black bears. However, they had been valued for their meat, fat and fur. In addition, their teeth, claws, and other parts are often sold as jewelry or for spiritual rites. In addition, black bears can become a nuisance to communities and trappers might be paid to rid the area of problem bears.

Bear, Polar
Description: Polar bears are among the largest bears on Earth, equaled only in size by the grizzly bear. The largest polar bears stand nearly twice as tall as a typical human. They are similar in appearance to any other bear, except that their fur is almost exclusively white or off-white, which allows them to blend in to their snowy habitat. Threat Assessment: As with all bears, polar bears will usually avoid humans except when hunting, protecting their young, or defending their territory. Polar bears are extremely dangerous and powerful animals and hunt by waiting near a seals breathing hole. When a seal comes to the surface to breathe, the bear will attack and drag the seal out of the water, crush its skull with its bite, and devour the carcass.

Similarly, they will stalk prey and get within 10 meters of it before charging for a kill. Camouflage- They are quite well adapted to snowy conditions and gain a +2 bonus to stealth checks when in white snowy conditions (9 SA). Ecology: Polar bears are found in the Arctic Circle in the Northern Hemisphere. Their diet is mostly seal meat, but in a pinch, a polar bear will eat any meat or vegetation it can find. These bears mate freely and twin cubs will often have different fathers. Young cubs will stay with the mother until they are about three years old. Except for mating season, it is rare to see more than a couple polar bears together due to competition for food. Economy: Polar bears are currently protected by conservation laws that restrict hunting to licensed trappers. However, their furs, fat, and meat are prized among natives and many Inuit people hunt polar bears as part of a manhood ritual. Likewise, their skins, teeth, and other parts are often sold for jewelry, decoration, or ceremonial purposes. Though rare, polar bears have been known to become nuisance animals and a hunter might be hired to rid an area of the problem bears.

Bird of Prey
Description: Birds of prey can be eagles, hawks, or even carrion birds like vultures or buzzards. Threat Assessment: Most birds of prey attack from high above and swoop down to catch rodents, snakes, and other birds off guard. Rarely will they attack larger creatures, but when they do, they go for the eyes and face and then fly off to attempt a surprise attack. Bald Eagle Character Points: 135 Size: 0.5-1 m Attributes:

Merit Points: 0 Weight: 0.5-7 kg Sub-Attributes:

Athletics Focus Persuasion Prec/Rctn Resilience Toughness 4 3 2 4 2 3
Ecology: Birds of prey lay their eggs in nests high in trees or mountain cliffs. They lay clutches of three to six and teach them to fly and hunt. Vultures and other scavengers prefer to feast on the meat of dead creatures. Eagles and hawks prefer to catch mice, rats, fish, and smaller birds. During mating rituals male birds of prey will battle each other for the attention of a female. Economy: For centuries kings and lords have prized birds of prey such as falcons. Their training takes years. A trained falcon can hunt and provide two to four birds a day.

Boar
Description: Boars are a type of wild pig that are armed with large tusks that they can gore an opponent with. They can vary in size from a medium sized dog to several hundred kilograms. Threat Assessment: Dominant males or females protecting their young are extremely aggressive and will often attack animals much larger than themselves. Once in combat, their ferocity makes them blind to their wounds and they will often fight on even if severely injured. Boars will charge straight at their opponent and attempt to gore it with its tusks. Wild Boar Character Points: 85 Size: 1.2 m Attributes:

Athletics Focus Persuasion Prec/Rctn Resilience Toughness Intimidate Moxie Stealth Unarmed 5 2 3 3 6 4 3/8 6/10 3/6 4/9
Ecology: Males are typically solitary and it is rare to see unrelated boar together outside of the mating season. Females will have 2-3 offspring and will care for the young for about a year. Boars are omnivores and often scavenge for food and will eat virtually anything from grasses to insects and refuse. Economy: In modern society, boars are generally only used for meat or sport hunting. However, they can become pests as they have been known to attack smaller animals for food or invade food and garbage bins. Wild boar meat is generally less preferred to farm raised meat.

Bull/Bison
Description: Bulls, or bison are extremely dangerous animals capable of trampling a human to death. Their thick hides are often used for armor and provide a significant amount of protection to the animal. Threat Assessment: Bulls have large horns that they can use to stab and gore an opponent. A character that is knocked down could easily be trampled or kicked. Bulls will attack anything they feel is a threat to their territory or herd. In addition, dark colors seem to threaten bulls more than light colors. Bull Character Points: 140 Size: 2-3 m Attributes:
Agility Health Strength Influence Intellect Willpower 5 8 11 5 1 3 3/8 5/10 3/6

Ecology: Wild cows are rare. Bison and cows survive off of grasses, grains, and other vegetation. A female will have one or two calves that it will raise for about two years. Economy: Bulls and bison meat is prized and sold on the markets at premiums. In addition, their skins are used for leather products. Bull horns are often made into a variety of other products such as decorative trim or drinking horns, or other products.

Camel
Description: A camel is a type of llama that is acclimated to the desert. It has a distinctive hump that stores fat and water for long periods of starvation and drought. Threat Assessment: Despite their awkward appearance, camels can run quite fast, which they are likely to do if attacked. Only rarely will a camel attempt to attack anyone. Ecology: Camels have been used as pack animals for centuries and live on desert grasses. Camel Character Points: 60 Size: 2-3 m Attributes:

Economy: Camels provide a wide range of benefits to humans from milk that can be turned into butter and other foods to their hair that can be woven into clothing, and of course their meat. However, the camels primary role is as a beast of burden used for long distance transport over the desert and fill the role of the cow or horse in other regions.

Cat, Great
Description: Great cats are the largest cats on Earth and have extremely powerful bodies, deadly fangs, and powerful claws and include lions, tigers, pumas, panthers, etc. A male great cat can easily outweigh most human men by up to one hundred kilograms. Threat Assessment: Great cats are expert stalkers and can follow their prey for several kilometers without being spotted. They will hide in trees, tall grass, or bushes and wait for prey to come within sprinting distance and then pounce. Once combat ensues, they will bite and claw at their opponents. Their massive claws can be used to grab and hold their victim. If the cat can get two claws grabbing its prey, it will rake with its back claws. Merit Points: 0 Weight: 150 kg Sub-Attributes:

If all else fails, great cats are capable of leaping up to 9 meters distance or as high as 4.5 meters. Ecology: All of the large cat breeds are predominantly carnivorous and will hunt all sorts of wild game. While they will not normally attack humans, they can and will eat people in a pinch. Females will often give birth to litters of 3-5 kittens and they will be independent in one to two years. Economy: Large cats are often sought after as attractions at zoos or circuses. Likewise their pelts are considered valuable. Many eastern cultures use various organs of great cats in herbal remedies and tonics. While rare, great cats have been known to terrorize communities and characters might be hired to hunt down such a man eater.

Cat, House
Description: House cats are your typical balls of fur that lie around and dont do much That is until YOU are trying to do something and then they always want your attention. Threat Assessment: A typical house cat will avoid combat of any kind, particularly with larger animals. However, occasionally cats will get very protective of their territory and attack almost anything. Cats primarily use their claws to scratch and grab. If they successfully grab their prey, they will use their hind legs to rake with both claws at the same time. Ecology: House cats are almost entirely dependent on their owners. However, some house cats have a taste for lasagna among other dishes.

Dog, Large
Description: Large dogs are nearly the weight of a full grown human. These dogs can be wolves, German Sheppards, rottweilers, Doberman pinchers, great danes or any other large breed of dog. Threat Assessment: Dogs do almost everything with their mouth, and their sharp teeth make for great weapons. When in a pack, dogs will often surround their prey and one dog will move in for an attack while the others distract their victim. Most untrained dogs are fairly quick to turn tail and run if they are severely hurt. However, hungry, dominant, or well trained dogs will fight on until their opponent is dead. Dogs are capable of seeing in low light conditions and their sense of smell and hearing exceeds that of a typical human. This is why dogs are often used as guards and protection. When in a pack, dogs will hunt with one dog acting using Intimidation to distract the prey while the other dogs use Stealth to attack from behind. Dog, Large Character Points: 115 Size: 1-2 m Attributes:

Ecology: Most domestic dogs are completely dependent on their owners. Rarely though, feral wild dogs will form up in packs, similar to wolf packs. Economy: Large dogs are used for security, as pets, and occasionally as pack animals such as sled dogs. In hunting cultures, dogs are used to track down and corner large and small game. Similarly, large dogs are often used in illegal dogfight tournaments.

Elephant
Description: If you have never seen an elephant its description would seem alien compared to other animals. It is a massive creature weighing a couple tons with grey skin, large fanlike ears and a nose that appears like a hose, but is dexterous enough for even the most delicate tasks. They are particularly intelligent and are even capable of using tools with their trunks. Threat Assessment: Wild elephants will usually only attack if their territory or young are threatened. Most elephants do not see humans as threats. In combat, an elephant will use its long trunk to lash out at its enemies. However, if there is room to run, an elephant will not hesitate to trample. The trample attack is treated like a Passive Skill Check against all human-sized creatures in its path.

Elephant Character Points: 260 Size: 3.5 m Attributes:


Athletics Focus Persuasion Prec/Rctn Resilience Toughness
Older elephants have large tusks that can be used to gore an enemy. Lastly, elephants can use their trunks to throw objects such as tree branches or rocks. Ecology: Elephants live in packs up to several dozen elephants. They are extremely social animals and tend to groom, touch and even seem to console each other. Females generally have one baby at a time, though twins are not uncommon. The young will stay with the pack until they are about fourteen years old. Economy: Elephants have been hunted for generations for the ivory in their tusks. Likewise, baby elephants are prized by zoos, circuses, and illegal traders and collectors. In India, elephants are used in rural areas instead of bulldozers and provide muscle power that cannot be matched except by expensive industrial equipment. They also find their uses in entertainment and some unusual sporting events feature elephants in place of horses. Though rare, violent rogue elephants have been known to threaten farms and communities near their natural territory. Hunters will often be hired to eliminate these problem animals. Many parts of the elephant are used in Chinese medicine and demand for these parts has fueled the black market trade in elephant parts.

Gorilla
Description: Gorillas are the largest of the primates. They are roughly humanoid in appearance but have short legs and disproportionately long arms. Black hair covers most of their body except for their faces. In comparison to humans, their foreheads are sloped back with a heavy brow ridge and their lips and teeth jut outward in a short muzzle. Large males can easily outweigh humans by two to four times even though they are typically shorter than human males and they are incredibly strong and agile despite their large, stout builds. All apes are expert climbers. Threat Assessment: Gorillas are capable of using tools such as clubs, tree branches, or stones to hurl at animals that threaten them. However their huge arms and powerful fists are more than enough to take down an opponent. While rare, gorillas can and will bite with their large canine teeth. A gorillas hide and thick muscles help protect it from all manors of attacks. However, if severely injured, a gorilla will try to escape into trees, brush or any other kind of cover. Ecology: Gorillas are considered herbivores and they enjoy a healthy mix of fruits, nuts, grasses, and insects. Their natural habitat is heavy forest or jungle. Full gown males are nearly twice the size of a female and fill the roles of protectors in the tribe. There is usually only one dominant male in a group of gorillas and he is the most territorial and dangerous. Females will generally only fight to protect their young. Females generally give birth to one baby at a time, but twins and triplets are not unusual. Young gorillas will be raised by the mother for the three to four years. After that, the tribe tends to raise the young. Economy: Gorillas are hunted for their meat and their young are prized by zoos and collectors and their collection might fetch a high price. Poachers are often hunted by the authorities and there are often rewards for the capture of poachers or dangerous gorillas.

Horse, Draft
Description: The horse depicted here is a typical draft or heavy riding horse like you would see in old western movies. Some breeds of horse are much larger or smaller. Due to having four legs, a horse is treated as though it had a +2 bonus to its strength for encumbrance. Threat Assessment: Horses generally will not attack. However if the horse is spooked or threatened it will kick or even bite. Trained horses can be taught to attack on command. A horse that rears up on its hind legs to kick gains a +1d5 bonus to its kick glance. Likewise, kicks with both hind legs will get a +1d5 bonus. A horse that runs through a human-sized targets space will automatically make a trample attack on 3d5. Horse Character Points: 120 Size: 2-3 m Attributes:

Ecology: Wild horses are rare in modern times, but in the past they roamed in herds that were dominated by an Alfa-male or mare. Young horses will be ready to leave their mothers side in about a year. Horses are herbivores and live on grasses, grains, and roots. Economy: Until the industrial revolution horses were the backbone of society. They provided transportation, muscle for construction, and even milk and meat for food. Since World War II, the use of horses is limited to ranching, breeding, entertainment, and leisure activities.

Rat, Large
Description: These rats are large rodents roughly the size of an adults shoe. They are far from dangerous on their own, but can carry disease and their bites can become infected. Threat Assessment: Rats will generally avoid humans or any other animal it thinks is a threat. But rabid or starving rats will attack anything. Ecology: Rats have a natural need to chew and are considered omnivores as they will eat bugs, vegetation, cardboard, metal wires, and pretty much anything that is around. Merit Points: 0 Weight: 2 kg Sub-Attributes:

Rattlesnake
Description: Rattlesnakes are a type of venomous snake with a specialized set of scales that sounds like a rattle when shaken. Their bodies are covered in protective scales that can include a variety of patterns in black, browns, tans and dark green colors. Threat Assessment: Most of the time a rattlesnake will attempt to avoid larger animals such as humans, but occasionally people surprise the snake and it will strike. Rattlesnakes prefer to fight, striking targets up to 1 meter away. Ecology: Rattlesnakes are fairly common in the southern United States and Central America. Economy: Rattlesnakes are often considered a menace to cities and other communities and they are often worth $2-20 per snake. Additionally, snake skins are valuable for clothing and other industries.

Swarm, Insect
Description: Insect swarms are generally a large mass of flying, stinging insects such as wasps, bees, or other painful bug. However, they can be ground insects also such as ants, roaches, locust, beetles etc. Threat Assessment: Swarms attack without logic. Generally speaking, a swarm will attack the closest animal to it. Swarms can attack all creatures in the area that they occupy. There is no defense against a swarm since they cannot be blocked or dodged. However, the swarm must still be able to hit the characters basic target number to cause damage. Several swarms can merge to become a larger swarm. Likewise a large swarm can separate into smaller swarms. The swarm listed here is the smallest swarm that is a threat to a character. Each swarm adds +1 to the Resilience, and Glance Dice of the swarm. Some swarms include poisonous insects, such as bees, wasps, and so on. Every time a character is damaged by a swarm, they must roll a Resist Poison test against the swarms poison. Each swarm can have its own special poison. Ecology: Insect swarms are an unusual situation caused by hives being disturbed. Economy: With the exception of honey bees, there is little economic value produced by insect swarms.

Humanoids
The following are creatures that have body styles very similar to humans. For example, they have two arms, two legs, and stand upright. Some creatures are included here because they display other human-like characteristics like intelligence, ability to speak, reason, strategize and so on.

Description: The Drakonym are a species of winged reptilian creatures with a mouth full of vicious teeth. From their massive shoulders sprout large but ineffective wings and many have a spiny ridge down their backs and tails. Their elongated snout sports dozens of razor sharp teeth hiding a long snake like tongue. Most Drakonym are a dark brown to light tan in color but some have more dazzling color patterns including golds, reds, and greens. Merit Points: 0 Weight: 100 kg Sub-Attributes:
Athletics Focus Persuasion Prec/Rctn Resilience Toughness Affinity Piety 6 5 4 4 8 7 4 5
A typical Drakonym is between 1.8 and 2 meters tall and weighs between 70 and 120 kilograms. Threat Assessment: In combat, Drakonym can use their wings to buffet an opponent or can slash with their clawed hands. Their tails are limber enough to trip, or hit an opponent. When lightly encumbered, a Drakonym can glide with a running start, a favored tactic when attacking from above. Ecology: Drakonym culture is militant and brutal. The weak are removed from the fold through contests and tournaments or become outcasts. Since their entire culture revolves around survival instincts, Drakonym are dangerous enemies and tacticians. In political arenas, Drakonym fight dirty with weapons such as bribery, threats, blackmail, and outright murder. It is nearly impossible to tell the difference between a male and female Drakonym without a close and personal inspection. They give off a pheromone that only other Drakonym and some reptiles can sense to tell the genders apart. However, some Drakonym have adopted humanlike cultures and dress in the clothing appropriate for their gender. Economy: Drakonym typically survive by conquering weaker opponents. As a result they amass large sums of gold, jewels, and other treasure.

Fenrir Wolf
Description: Thought to be the origin of the legends of the werewolf, a Fenrir Wolf can stand similar to a human but has a bestial form that is a mix between a wolf and human. While larger and stronger than a typical human it is typically not as intelligent. A Fenrir Wolfs fur tends to be dark ranging from black, brown, and red varying in pattern similar to modern wolves. Its eyes follow similar colors as its hide. Threat Assessment: Fenrir Wolves prefer to work in packs where the hunter with the lowest social status attacks from the front while the higher ranked hunters flank. Fenrir Wolf Hunter Character Points: 310 Size: 2.4 m Attributes:
Agility Health Strength Influence Intellect Willpower 8 8 10 5 3 3 8 4 4/13 4/11 4/9 4/9 4/7

When working alone, a Fenrir Wolf prefers stealth and will flee in order to strike at a more opportune moment. Ecology: Fenrir Wolves live in a pack structure similar to wolves, but they communicate using their own language that sounds like growls, yips, whines, and other animalistic noises. Typically the pack is ruled by an alpha male and female that mate for life. The word of the alphas is treated as law and those that oppose their word are often stripped of status or cast out of the pack. While mostly carnivorous, they will eat plant material to help regulate digestive health. Fenrir Wolves have an oral history that is enhanced through collecting artifacts that tie them to the past. Females tend to be slightly smaller than the males and can have litters of 2-4 young. Pregnancies last approximately 30 weeks. Young wolves are considered mature after 12 years with a typical lifespan of 60 years. Economy: Fenrir Wolves do not value treasure as humans do, but instead collect trophies and sentimental objects. These objects tend to include an odor of some sort that helps to remind the creature of its past exploits. These items might include body parts from past kills, tufts of hair from a loved one, and so on. These items gain their value because of their history and associated memories.

Gorgon
Description: From a distance, gorgons appear to be female humans with wild and wavy hair. However, up close they are horrific to observe including scaly skin in a sickly greenish color. Their hair appears to be made of dozens of snakes and their mouths include sharp venomous fangs. Their eyes tend to be wild and wide and range in color from gold to green. Threat Assessment: Gorgons are extremely dangerous and tend to disguise themselves by covering their bodies in head-to-toe outfits. Though not inherently violent, they will defend themselves and their territory using their Stone Gaze. The more powerful and cruel gorgons will often increase the duration of their Power to several years and slowly feed on the victim. Merit Points: 0 Weight: 60 kg Sub-Attributes:

Agility Health Strength Influence Intellect Willpower 7 6 5 7 6 6 1 4 4/9 6/12 2/8 4/10 6/12
Ecology: Gorgons are mostly carnivorous and it is thought that they preserve the flesh of their prey by turning them to stone and then reversing the process when it is time to feed. There are no male gorgons and the females appear to reproduce asexually. However, it is not known if they lay eggs or bare their children live like humans. Gorgons are not accepted in normal civilization. Their short tempers often result in accidental petrification and their appearance terrifies normal humanoid societies. As a result, they are shunned and often live on the outskirts of civilization and only venture into civilized lands when the need is great. However, this bigotry towards their kind has made them hate and despise other species and they have become indifferent to the suffering of others. Economy: Gorgons can amass a huge fortune as they can selectively return a creature or belonging back to normal after it has been turned to stone. In addition, their lairs are filled with statues that often are mistaken for masterpieces and sold off. Many communities will hire bounty hunters to track down and dispose of gorgons. These rewards are often very lucrative.

Ghost
ghosts, life force, and so on. Spectral Vision is treated like Dark Vision for purposes of lighting. Weapon Immunity (50) Ghosts are immune to non-magical items. However, any blessed or magical item will affect ghosts as though it was a normal creature. Bound Spirit (Optional) Most ghosts are bound to a place or object and must return to the item or place to which they are bound every 24 hours. This can only be ignored with a successful Manifestation test. After three consecutive successful resistances, the bond is broken and the Ghost becomes a Free Spirit. Powers (Optional) Spirits can gain powers as they get older. Each power is treated as a separate skill.

powerful curses can also draw a creatures spirit back from the afterlife to fulfill a task like guarding a treasure. Economy: Ghosts do not have a known impact on the economy. Victims of a violent or mischievous ghost may offer rewards to anyone that can rid them of the danger.

Threat Assessment: Llandyne are intelligent and fight with smart tactics. Hunting parties often ambush from trees and shoot down from above. While brave, they are not foolish. Llandyne know when to back down. Ecology: Llandyne are warm blooded carnivores, but prefer warmer climates. The male and female of the species look very similar, but the females tend to have shorter, stockier tails and more intricate color patterns on their scales. Females incubate their eggs internally for three months and then lay them in a nest. When the eggs hatch, the young are cared for in a nursery by the entire tribe. It is rare that an Llandyne knows its true parentage. Economy: Llandyne tend to be hunters and trappers and are willing to trade with other species. However, they often disregard the morality of other species and hunt intelligent creatures for sport and food. As a result, they often obtain treasures from a wide range of cultures. by Randal Snyder sunderedepoch@hotmail.com

Ecology: Legends claim that minotaur are the unholy offspring of a goddess and a bull. However, they reproduce sexually and females carry the young for eight months and must care for them after birth similarly to human children. Males tend to hold positions of authority and are larger and stronger than females, though some tribes of minotaur this role is reversed. Economy: Piracy and banditry are the primary means of wealth among minotaur. However, they often hire themselves out as mercenaries and other soldierly occupations.

Threat Assessment: In combat, ogres will hurl large rocks, use heavy branches or clubs, and generally will devastate their enemies with superior strength. Ecology: Most male ogres are solitary, roaming the wilderness in search of a mate. Female ogres are often found with young as old as ten years. Rarely do males and females mingle for long periods of time, but there are several gatherings as ogres celebrate holidays or form hunting bonds. Ogre Raider Character Points: 310 Size: 2.5 m Attributes:

Economy: Ogres often terrorize the countryside and towns and villages offer rewards to those that hunt down ogres. Ogres do like the occasional shiny, they have no real sense of value. Objects that they collect may have value only to themselves or they might be priceless heirlooms.

Oni
category larger or smaller than the Oni. This acts as a +10 disguise bonus to Deception or Stealth depending on the situation. It takes one combat round to shape shift, but only costs 1 Combat Action. Illusion More deceptive Oni can create powerful illusions to fool or ensnare a victim. Ecology: It is thought that in approximately 500 BCE, that a troupe of Oni crossed into our realm and ravaged the Japanese countryside. Ever since then, the Oni have been used in childrens bedtime stories much like the boogieman to scare children into behaving. From folktales, the Oni are carnivores and will feed on raw meat rather than cook it. Oni are known to be deceptive and clever and will often lure people into traps in order to eat them. Economy: Oni have not been encountered in several hundred years. However, if they live up to their reputations, then they hoard treasures from their victims and often demand tributes in the form of gold, silver, and precious gems. Further, villagers often offer rewards to any heroes that might free them from their oppression. Description: Oni are known in Japanese culture as ogres, trolls, or demons and are huge human-like creatures with horns and fangs. There are several different tribes of Oni that all display their own traits. Some are larger than others. Some have red skin, others white and even differ on how their tusks protrude from their mouths. However, a common description might be that they are humanlike in appearance standing up to twice as tall as a normal human with monstrous faces, wild hair and bushy beards, and large fangs or tusks jutting from their mouths. Threat Assessment: Besides the obvious physical size, many Oni display magical abilities also. Monstrous Appearance All Oni are monstrous looking and gain a +2 bonus to Intimidation but a -2 penalty to Negotiation or other skills based on charm. Invisibility Only select species of Oni can become invisible. Invisibility adds a +10 modifier to the Onis Target Number and to Stealth. Fly Some species of Oni can fly with perfect precision. They fly at the same speed as their land movement. Shape Shifting A select number of Oni can change their form and can appear to be any creature that is one size Beasts of the Known Realms 28 | P a g e Guri, Akai hi no akuma (Red Fire Demon) Character Points: 445 Merit Points: 22 Size: 2.8 m Weight: 230 kg Attributes: Sub-Attributes:

He also watches a small television picks up local broadcasts. Vices Stomping Dance, Chanting
Alliances & Factions: Local Villagers The town includes several older people who have learned to bring food as a tribute to the Red Demon in exchange for peace. This truce has been in place for more than 100 years. As a result, Guri does not need to enter the village for food and it keeps the villagers out of his lair. Also, local villagers often misdirect adventure-seekers away from Guris lair as they do not want a confrontation. Background: Guri wandered into a portal in 1899 when he was the equivalent of a young teen. The portal closed shortly after he arrived leaving him stranded. Ill prepared, he resorted to plundering villages for food and clothing, which resulted in several hunting parties being sent after him. After he was tracked to his hiding place, the soldiers seriously wounded him and Guri created illusions to confuse the soldiers and killed most of the men. The ones that survived were traumatized and told superiors such an unbelievable tale that they were dismissed in dishonor and charged with the murders of their comrades. It was on the New Years celebrations that the villagers began bringing fresh fruit, meats, and other delicacies as an offering. And so began the weekly ceremony of the Red Devil. During the ceremony a town elder reads the official request for peace and prosperity and mutual understanding and they leave the food at the opening of an abandoned sewage system. However, the life in the sewer system is far from comfortable and Guri is constantly fighting off infections due to minor injuries.
Reputation: Red Demon The Red Fire Demon is an Oni named Guri and the origin of the Legend of the Red Demon. Vagabond He survives on scraps and garbage and the occasional wild animal. Truce Local villagers bring food weekly as a peace offering to the Oni in exchange for peace. Destroyer A group of explorers went in search of the legend of the Fire Demon and were never heard from again. Physical Appearance: Guri has wild black eyes tinged with a sickly yellow. His skin is a deep red pocked with blisters and sores that sometimes ooze and his nose is wide and flat with a large scar that split his lips. He stands stooped from decades of living in the sewers, which are too short for him. It does not take much to realize that he is not healthy and his voice cracks and coughs when he speaks. Bald to the crown, his hair is wild and matted with mud and worse, and several dreadlocks have formed in his beard as well. Though naked from the waist up, he wears a filthy kimono to cover his hips. Normally he walks barefoot, but he has shoes fashioned out of building lumber and rope. Motivations: Return Home Guri is trapped in our dimension and wants to return to his home dimension. Hide Though his reputation makes him seem fierce, this is mostly a ruse to scare off intruders. He would rather remain hidden. Food Living on the outskirts of society, Guri rarely gets treats and he will go to great lengths to experience a new flavor or enjoy an old favorite. Occupation: Guri has no occupation of note, but could be considered a woodsman or survivalist.

Alliances & Factions: Local Villagers The small fishing village reveres and fears Shibo. They house him in a Buddhist temple and provide him with all of the comforts of life and satisfy his every demand. He has a fanatical group of about a dozen followers who are fanatically loyal to him including the local police chief. Background: Shibos original name was Botrore hams, meaning World Eater. In 1653, Shibo crossed through a portal while running for his life. When he arrived, the locals called him Shibo Oni, meaning fat demon or fat troll. Shibo had been a chieftain of the tribe and had been overthrown. They cornered him in a glade near a calming waterfall when Shibo fell into the water and disappeared through the portal and coming out on Earth in Southern Japan. Hunters from the tribe followed, but Shibo ambushed them and killed them and even ate their flesh. The local people where terrified of him and Shibo commanded them to obey his words and claimed to be a spirit guardian. By using his magical abilities he brainwashed the locals and instructed them to shun outsiders. The villagers stormed the local temple and killed the monks who would not obey Shibo. With the aid of his hypnotic powers, he established himself as chieftain of the village and brainwashed the elders. Occasionally, strangers would visit the town and begin to snoop around. Shibo would often demand that they be brought to him where he would reveal himself to them and watch them tremble in fear before having them killed. As the ages passed, Shibo occasionally needed to wipe the minds of government officials or he would cause them to commit crimes that would have them removed from office. But after two-hundred years he became bored with humans and began testing how far he could push the locals, forcing them to commit greater and greater atrocities upon their neighbors. This has become a game of cat and mouse between him and the local police. When found out, Shibo would wipe their memories or use his powers to drive them mad.

Fly Shibo can fly at his normal movement rate. Hypnotism Shibo often has spells ready including sleep, weakness, and command.

Reputation: Spirit Guardian Local villagers refer to him as a spirit worthy of worship. Insatiable Shibo eats constantly and never seems satisfied. Threatening Shibo often threatens bodily harm to those who seek him out. Hedonistic The Fat Oni is known to indulge in every indulgence provided to him and his hypnotized followers offer up anything that he demands. Man-eater Shibo has been known to demand human sacrifices and eat them. Physical Appearance: Shibo is an extremely obese, green skinned Oni with three blunt horns above his brow. His many chins are covered in bumps and growths like warts and black, greasy hair that is tied into a knot on the top of his head. He is grossly obese and has loose, flabby skin that jiggles as he moves. Motivations: Worship Shibo demands that the local people treat him like a god and sees humans as inferior. Ego Shibo enjoys anything that praises his ego. Sparkly Things An eye for glittery objects, Shibo often demands gems instead of money. Occupation: Shibo is the town Spirit Guardian, a holy figure.

Beasts
The following are creatures that are intelligent, but do not have the same body structure as humans or move more similarly to animals.
Blob, Acidic
Blobs can be coaxed to leaving a creature by either threatening it with fire, a base (neutralizes acid), or by offering it something more palatable. Purge Contents (0) When threatened, blobs can spit out the objects contained inside them as thrown weapons covered in acid. The acid adds an additional +2d5 Glance. Reach (10) Blobs can attack targets up to 4 meters away. Liquid Form (50) Blobs are able to move similar to water and are able to squeeze between joints and gaps that normal creatures cant. However, if the blob has consumed something that has not dissolved and wont fit through the gap, then the item is expelled from the blobs body. Spider Climb (20) Blobs can climb on any surface. Spit Acid When confronted with a dangerous opponent, blobs can spit some of their digestive juices up to 20 meters away. The acid will burn for five rounds unless it is neutralized by a base or washed off. If the target is wearing armor the acid must burn through the armor first. Roll glance each round and add it together. If the acids damage exceeds the armors AR then any excess damage affects the target. Vulnerability Most blobs are vulnerable to alkaline bases such as baking soda, bleach, etc. These substances act like an acid to the blob. Weapon Resistance Blobs are virtually immune to non-magic weapons and take 1/10th of any damage dealt. However, fire and electricity will cause normal damage. Explosives cause damage. And magical weapons cause damage.

Description: An acidic blob is a form of multi-celled organism that consumes anything in its path. There are many different types of blobs, but their basic form and function are the same. Their color can range from green to red, brown, black, and white. Most blobs are without true shape and tend to act as a gelatin mass slithering on the ground. But others take forms such as cylinders, cubes, or other basic geometric designs. Blobs move like a liquid and send out seeker-appendages and then move the rest of their bodies into the appendage. Threat Assessment: Blobs are mindless and react only to potential food or threats. They recoil from strong heat and electrical currents and tend to avoid strong chemicals. Ecology: Few people claim to know the origins of blobs. They might be experiments gone wrong, an alien species, or created by some magical force. Since blobs consume all organic materials that they come in contact with, some believe that they were designed as some form of garbage disposal.

Notes:
Acid Blood (10) A blob that is harmed by melee weapons will cause 1 point of Durability Damage to the weapon due to acid. Envelop (50) A blob normally attacks by lunging at its target. On a successful attack, the blob entangles its target and begins to digest it with powerful acid. The blob squeezes between any gaps in the targets armor and bypasses the AR. Once a blob has enveloped a target it cannot be removed and becomes part of the creature. Any damage caused to the blob is also caused to the enveloped creature.
31 | P a g e
Economy: Blobs do not leave much behind as they consume everything that they come in contact with and can dissolve anything given enough time. Most metals are purged from the creatures body, but the results of the acid leave them
rusted, pitted, and brittle. Organic material like leather, flesh, and plant material is dissolved within moments or hours.
Dinosaur, Deinonycus
Description: These are the raptors made famous by the movie Jurassic Park, but their proper name is deinonychus. The largest examples stood nearly as tall as a human with a long strong tail that was just as long as its body. Their appearance varies depending on the view of the researchers and they may have had scaly skin or even feathers. Deinonycus Character Points: Size: 1-2 m Attributes:
Merit Points: Weight: 75 kg Sub-Attributes:

Deinonychus stood on two long muscular legs that included two long hooked claws that they used to hook into their prey or to slice them open. Threat Assessment: Raptors hunt in packs and tend to encircle their prey using the natural terrain. Usually one raptor will act as a distraction while the others encircle their prey and use Stealth to attack from behind. Ecology: Raptors are primarily carnivorous but will also take advantage of any carrion they find. They lay eggs in shallow pits covered in rotting vegetation. The temperature of the eggs determines the newborns gender and so nearly all of the young are either male or female. Economy: Raptors have little economic impact, however their hides can be turned into armor or other leather products. Their claws and teeth are also prized for jewelry, daggers, and potions.

Dinosaur, T-Rex
Description: The T-Rex or tyrannosaurus rex is a carnivorous dinosaur of monstrous proportions. It is reptilian in appearance with a massive tail that is nearly as long as the rest of its body. A full grown T-Rex can grow to 13 meters from snout to the tip of its tail. Its head is nearly 2 meters long with dozens of hand length, dagger-like serrated teeth. It stands on two massive legs ending in sharp three-toed claws and has two tiny arms that seem almost useless. Threat Assessment: T-Rex would roam in small hunting packs including young. Against human-sized targets, a T-Rex will attack with straight forward ferocity. They will snap their powerful jaws onto a character and crush bones. T-Rex Character Points: Size: 6 m Attributes:
Merit Points: Weight: 6,800 kg Sub-Attributes:

Ecology: T-Rex was considered a hunter and scavenger. Their strong sense of smell allowed them to find wounded prey or rotting carcasses from miles away. Dinosaurs will lay clutches of eggs, but T-Rex would raise their hatchlings similar to crocodiles. Economy: With the exception of theme parks, zoos, or safaris, T-Rex rarely have a positive economic impact.

Dragon
Notes:
Breath Weapon Almost all dragons have some sort of breath weapon such as fire, ice, acid, lightning, a sonic blast or poisonous gas. In general the breath weapon will blast out in a cone that is 30 meters long and 10 meters wide at the farthest end. Characters in the blast area can attempt to dodge to dive for cover and take Glance. Treat the breath weapon as an explosive. While flying, the breath weapon can be used to strafe an area 10 meters wide and 30 meters long. Grab A dragon can pick up and fly carrying 256 kg of weight. If a dragon uses its claws to grab a character, a success of 5+ means that the characters arms are pinned and they cannot attack the dragon until they break free. Stomp A dragon can rear up on its back legs and stomp on a target. Treat this as a Power Attack gaining up to 3d5 in glance. Spell Abilities Dragons have innate magical abilities and use the Spell-like Abilities shot accuracy. Darkness They can create a magical darkness that fills a sphere that is up to 16 meters wide that imposes a +10 darkness penalty to all natural vision based on light. Mist They can create an obscuring mist that blocks all vision beyond 1 meter. The mist is treated like the darkness ability. Fear At will, a dragon can emit a magical fear that affects all creatures within sight of it. Any creature that fails a Resist Magic contest will be demoralized and has a -2 penalty to all skill checks. Failure by 5+ means the creature runs in panic. Control Fire Most dragons are fascinated by fire and can control fire within its sight. They often use fire to amplify their stories or to paint pictures. But if necessary they can cause the fire to explode in a blast that fills a 4 meter sphere and causes 5d5 Glance Dice. Characters in the area can attempt to dodge to avoid the damage. Transform Some rare dragons can transform into a creature of medium size such as a human, elf, or wolf, in an attempt to blend in. If the character becomes suspicious he must succeed an Perception contest by 5+ to realize that the creature is a dragon. Basic success means that they realize that something is not right about the creature. Swallow Whole If a dragon succeeds a bite attack by 5+ they can swallow human sized creatures in a single bite. Characters that have been swallowed will take 2d5 points of Physical Damage each round due to acid and crushing from the dragons stomach muscles. In addition, the creature must hold its breath. If the swallowed creature falls unconscious inside the dragons stomach it will have died from breathing in acid. Throw Dragons that have grabbed a character can throw a human sized creature five meters and cause 3d5 falling damage that cannot be controlled.

Ecology: But not all dragons are wicked. Some seek to strike a balance between humanity and their ancient kind.
Economy: Some dragons amass huge hordes of treasure consisting of gold, jewels, and even magical items. As if that wasnt incentive enough to hunt dragons, many wealthy cities will pay handsomely to rid their country of a rampaging dragon.

Description: A Griffin is a magical beast from Greek mythology with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle. As both king of beasts and the king of avians, the Griffin is the king of both land and sky. Threat Assessment: Griffins are known for their ability to fly off with heavy prey in their talons and have a +4 modifier to their strength for the purpose of encumbrance. Griffin Character Points: Size: 2.5 m Attributes:
In combat, Griffins fly down, snatch up their victims and throw them into the sky. Merit Points: Weight: 220 kg Sub-Attributes:
Ecology: Griffins are masters of the sky and land and will hunt almost any animal that suits them. A mated pair griffins will bond for life. If one of the pair dies the other will often die of loneliness within a year. Females lay clutches of 4-8 eggs and roughly half will reach maturity. If an egg is stolen or destroyed, the griffin will hunt down the perpetrator and kill them. Economy: Griffins are known to guard special artifacts, priceless treasure, or magical items. In addition, griffin eggs are nearly priceless. Unfortunately those who manage to reach the precariously placed nest are often hunted down and eaten by the parents. Every part of a griffin is prized for potions, wands, and other magical devices.
