Gurps 4th ed. Monster Compendium

Monster Compendium
GURPS doesn't have monsters. That's what I keep hearing from various DF fans who bemoan the lack of a
bestiary. Strictly speaking, however, this is not true. GURPS is loaded with monsters, if you know where to
look for them. To just name a few:
GURPS Characters: Dragons, Vampires
GURPS Magic: Zombies, Skeletons, Mummies, Wraiths, Liches, Demons, Elementals of all four varieties.
Thaumatology adds even more Elementals.
GURPS Dungeon Fantasy 3: Orcs, Goblins, Hobgoblins, Gargoyles, Trolls, Dark Ones, Shadow Elves, giant
bug people, lizard men, and many more.
Even more options exist in GURPS Fantasy (including a chapter dedicated to monsters), GURPS Banestorm
(loads of racial templates), and other sources, if you care to dig around.
The problem isn't the lack of monsters, though, it's the lack of detail on these monsters. Most of these are
racial templates. It's all fine and well to know what a Vampire or a Dragon is like, racially, but what sorts of
skills, weapons and powers does he actually have? We have no quick-and-easy way to toss together a
disposable monster to unleash on the table.
Astute veterans of GURPS will point out that we simply slap on whatever skills and such that we find
appropriate and move on, but I would caution that you could do the same with racial templates themselves,
that the average DF player isn't interested in wholesale world-building, but prefers some kind of quick-start
guide, the equivalent for monsters what DF 1 is to dungeoneers.
So, at the request of my Dungeon Fantasy GM, I put together what follows in this thread: a list of
"occupational" templates that can be quickly applied to a monster to give it a role within combat, and a large
list of example monsters, ready for any dungeon.
DISCLAIMER
This work is insufficiently playtested.

I'm a veteran GURPS GM, running on 15 years of experience now, and I created this document for another
GM, who promptly used it for his DF campaign which ran for several sessions, but not for long as campaigns
are measured. My experience with it suggests that it works. However, the best of us make mistakes all the
time. We mean things that we don't say. We forget a rule, or over- or underestimate player capability. I bet
Kromm himself has some embarrassing stories to tell about "obvious" mistakes that only turned up after a
thorough playtesting. This work has not had the kind of fisking necessary to work out all the chinks. While
I'm sure further posters in this thread will help to refine it, understand that this work should be regarded
cautiously and taken with a grain of salt. Consider it a work-in-progress
HOW THIS WORKS
Dungeon and Dragons 4e included "roles" for its monsters, a guide on how to use a monster and what sort of
tactics they designed it for. This document does the same. Each role has a list of associated templates that, if
applied to a racial template, should help you put together a monster ideally suited to that sort of tactic in
combat. The standard templates are worth roughly 50 points, the "Greater" templates are worth 100 points,
and the Epic templates are worth 150. "Core" templates are worth 50 points, and every monster should have
at least one, to provide a solid basis of skills. Beyond that, no limitations or prerequisites apply (You're just
making a monster, not carefully balancing a character).
Furthermore, each role has a set of "strange" templates, which represent unique powers associated with that
role. Strange templates always have a power modifier. The most common power modifiers for monsters are:
• Magical: The powers can be nullified with counter-magic effects and do not work in no-mana zones
• Unholy: The powers do not work in areas of High (Holy) Sanctity, and might not affect "faithful" characters
• Biological: The power is always a manifestation of some interesting internal organs, which the players may
harvest after the battle. Generally, these organs provide bonuses to appropriate alchemy and invention rolls.
Minion organs provide +1, Worthy organs provide a +2, and Bosses generally have multiple harvestable
organs with +2. I haven't always explicitly outlined how the templates are constructed, because I feel the
average DF GM is more interested in knowing how a monster works, rather than looking at a list of
advantages and modifiers. If you want to know how I did something, feel free to ask. I bet I can still
remember.
Every core template has a list of associated disadvantages, which I discuss in each section. Sometimes, these
disadvantages are described beyond their normal, PC context. That's because a monstrous disadvantage that
does not disadvantage the monster isn't interesting or worth mentioning. These disadvantages exist to allow
players to come up with clever solutions to defeating their foe, and thus must represent real vulnerabilities.
Where possible, exaggerate these weaknesses and make sure the players are aware of them.
WAIT, POINTS? WHAT DO YOU MEAN POINTS?
GURPS Sages will carefully recite the hallowed mantra "don't use points when designing monsters" Dungeon
Fantasy 2 itself offers this tid-bit of wisdom. Points unnecessarily slow down monster creation, and they
won't necessarily balance the encounter. After all, 250 points of carefully nuanced player character is no
match for 250 points of pure, distilled lethality.
However, points still have their place. While
points won't necessarily balance a monster for
an encounter, that's primarily because of the
existence of non-combat traits (15 points of
Empathy just isn't as useful in a fight as 15
points of DR or even 10 points of High Pain
Threshold). Combat traits, however, tend to be
fairly well balanced against one another. Thus,
a 50 point combat monster should measure up
nicely against another, differently designed 50
point combat monster, so points do give us nice
"ball park" figures for balance. Moreover,
certain advantages and aspects of the system
demand points, things like summoning and
shape-shifting. By noting the points involved, if
a player sees a demon he likes and asks to
summon it in the next adventure, the GM can
swiftly give him a total Energy Cost associated
with that demon, for example.
I have a few caveats regarding these point-
costs, however. Monsters need to be kept
simple. They don't need to worry about things
like perks, and you don't have the time to worry about fatigue cost this and recharge time that. Thus, those
who carefully reverse engineer my templates might discover that not everything adds up exactly to the
described point value, because monsters are too simple to worry about the small change. Moreover, points do
not trump good monster design.
Kromm's advice on page 27 of DF 2 remains very valid and pertinent. A 250 point "worthy" monster who has
200 points of DR (DR 40 or so, more with limitations) isn't very fun to fight because you can't actually hurt it.
When we design monsters, we want to create interesting fights, so consider what your players have at their
disposal before you sic a particular beastie on them. If your goal is an unbeatable monster that your players
cannot escape from, these rules won't prevent you from succeeding, but all you'll have really designed is a
unique invitation to write up new characters. If done too often, you're really telling your players not to invest
emotion into their characters or, worse, not to invest interest in your game.
In general, I have found that a minion needs only one or two templates (no more than 100 points) to be an
acceptable "quick" challenge, and about 5-10 per player is enough. Worthies generally take 3 to 5 standard
templates (150-250 points), and one to two per player is enough. I find bosses need at least 500 points worth
of templates (often at least one epic for truly awesome fights), and you only need one per group of players.
FINAL NOTES
Where possible, I have discarded any reference to fatigue, but when it comes to spell-casting monsters, or
powers that attack fatigue, players will want to know how much fatigue a monster has. For the purpose of
these rules:
• Minions have sufficient fatigue to cast one effect. Don't worry about the exact cost, they just get to
cast one spell or use one fatigue-based ability.. Any fatigue damage will knock them unconscious
• Worthies have normal fatigue, but should they run out of fatigue, they automatically fall
unconscious, without rolling.
• Bosses use the normal fatigue rules.
This document offers no tips or suggestions
for equipment. Generally, monsters have
access to items that suit their skill set: a
monster with Broadsword 15 will have a
broadsword, and a monster with Traps 12
will have some traps. Don't bother with
minor stuff, like rations or rope, except
perhaps as loot for the players. When it
comes to equipment quality, don't worry
about wealth and simply give the monsters
whatever gear you think is suitable
remembering that players will loot them
after they defeat the monster. Giving a
goblin minion an Very Fine Enchanted fire
sword is really just handing the players a
Very Fine Enchanted fire sword for free.
Monsters are certainly allowed to wear
armor (provided they don't have some ability that precludes it), again, with the note that players can and will
loot said armor at the end of the fight.
Oh, and on a very final note, I'd like to eventually collect all this into one big downloadable PDF, but I'd
need some art for that. If any of your artistically inclined folks out there wanna donate any, I won't say no :D
DIRE BEASTS
Some monsters, such as the Dungeon Fantasy Dire Wolf, are really just vicious wild animals grown far too
large because of the effects of strange magic or... whatever. Pedants will note that “Dire Wolves” were
actually smaller than modern-day wolves, but we won't let details get in the way of our fun.
Dire Beasts gain +4 ST, +1 DR (With the Tough Skin limitation) and +1 Size Modifier. This is worth
approximately as much as a standard template.
Giant Beasts gain +10 ST, +2 DR (with the tough skin limitation) and +2 Size Modifier. This is worth
approximately as much as a Greater template.
KILLERS
Monsters are lethal. They have long claws, sharp fangs, dangerous spines and the touch of death. People fear
monsters because monsters murder, and Killers epitomize this fact. Whether they are knife-wielding assassins
or marauding berserkers, these monsters focus on dealing damage.
The primary stats for a Killer are his Strength and Dexterity. This makes Killers surprisingly well-rounded
fighters. Their high Strength grants them plenty of damage to defeat a foe, and plenty of HP to survive his
counter attack. His higher Dexterity allows him to both evade attacks and to ensure his own attacks land
home. Killers focus primarily on melee combat, wading into the players and attempting to inflict as much
damage as possible, representing a very clear threat to everyone.
When using Killers, be careful that they don't overwhelm the players too quickly. Because of their high
damage and accurate attacks, Killers bring with them the very real possibility of a PC death (and, in fact, this
occurred during one of our practice fights). Killer Bosses, in particular, can be extremely lethal. On the flip
side, they're not as tough or as agile as other monsters, and their lack of solid defenses often means that if
they do not overwhelm the players, the players will defeat them quickly.
Attributes: ST +1 [10], DX +1 [20]
Advantages: Choose either Combat Reflexes [15] or +1 ST and +1 Striking Strength for [15]
Disadvantages: Choose one of the following: Bad Temper (12), Berserk (12), Bestial, Bloodlust(12), Bully(12),
Easy to
Read, Life Bane, Obsession (Killing members of a particular race or religion), all [-10]
Skills: Choose one of the following packages:
• Brawl at DX+5 [16]
• Brawl at DX+3 [8] and one of the following: Knife at DX+3 [8] or Axe/Mace, Broadsword, Two-
Handed Axe/Mace, Two-handed Sword or Wrestling at DX+2 [8] or Flail or Two-Handed Flail at
DX+1[8]
Notes: Most Killers should generally take Combat Reflexes unless they already have it as part of a racial
template.
Killers with Bad Temper must always test to resist rushing the first hero to insult them or call them out.
Berserk Killers should always use All-Out Attacks.
Bestial Killers only kill when hungry and can easily be distracted with some spare meat or the player can
negotiate with them with an Animal Handling roll.
Killers with Bloodlust operate more like they have a "Murder addition." Theyshould always stop to finish
someone off, especially their own fallen allies (With players, they might prefer to kidnap them and “finish
them off later, when they can enjoy it”). He must roll to keep from killing his own off if he has nothing to do.
Bully Killers must roll to resist the temptation to mistreat and generally alienate allies on his own side.
Players can easily trick them into turning on their own.
Easy to Read Killer wear their lethality on their sleeve, and suffer a -4 to trick delvers into thinking they're
going to do something else. If the monster is the sort that wouldn't try to trick the delvers anyway, he suffers
a -4 to feint attempts as well.
Life Bane Killers always give away their presence with dead plants or dark vibes. In addition to the +2 to
detect their presence, even Delvers who aren't actively looking for a stealthy target should get a roll to detect
their presence.
Obsessed Killers always target their obsession first. They'll disregard anyone that isn't part of their obsession
until they've finished off their favored foes first.
Additional Killer Templates
Elegant Killers
Elegant Killers use high DX and skill to slide past their opponent's defenses. They typically use more tact and
cunning than most of their Killer brethren, often using Feints and Deceptive attacks to breach a foe's skilled
defense.
Attributes: DX +2 [40]
Skills: Increase weapon skill or Brawl by +2 [8], or alternatively, replace weapon skill with Polearm or
Shortsword at
DX+4 [16], Brawl with Karate at DX+3 [16] (or DX+5 if Brawl was your only combat skill), or Wrestling with
Judo DX+3 [16]
Greater Elegant Killers

Greater Elegant Killers resemble their Elegant Killer kin, but have completely mastered the use of a particular
weapon. This template includes the Elegant Killer Template.
Attributes: DX+2 [40]
Advantages: Choose either Weapon Master (Single Weapon) [20] or increase DX by +1 [20]
Skills: Increase weapon skill or Brawl by +8 [32], or replace weapon skill with Polearm or Shortsword at
DX+10 [48], Brawl with Karate at DX+9[48], or Wrestling with Judo at DX+9[48]
Swift Killers
Swift killers use speed over power to kill their opponents as quickly as possible. They often blur into a pack of
enemies, slashing wildly. Multi-armed creatures make for good Swift Killers Their Extra Attack means they
get a minimum of two attacks every turn. For All-Out Attacks or Rapid Attacks, only increase total available
attacks by 1.
Secondary Attributes: Basic Speed +1 [20]
Advantages: Extra Attack (Multi-strike) [30]
Greater Swift Killers

Greater Swift Killers expand on their speed to supernatural proportions, killing their foes before they can
even act. This template includes the Swift Killer template. A Greater Swift Killer's Accelerated Time Rate
allows him to gain 10 seconds where he has two turns for every second that passes. He may only activate this
ability once during a fight.
Secondary Attributes: Basic Speed +2 [40]
Advantages: Extra Attack (Multi-Strike) [30], Accelerated Time Rate (Maximum Duration 10 seconds -75%)
[25]
Power Killers
Power Killers sacrifice their speed and grace in favor of making devastating attacks. Power Blow requires
several turns to activate and costs 1 fatigue (so minion Power Killers may only use it once), but once it hits, it
doubles the Killers ST for the purposes of damage.
Attributes: ST +4 [40]
Secondary Attributes: Basic Speed -0.5 [-10]
Skills: Power Blow Will+4 [20]
Greater Power Killers

Greater Power Killers merely expand upon the skill and capability of their Power Killer brethren, gaining
sufficient skill in Power Blow to activate it instantly. This template includes the Power Killer template.
Attributes: ST +6 [60]
Secondary Attributes: Basic Speed -0.5 [-10]
Skills: Power Blow Will+10 [44]
Strange Killers
Magical, mutant or unholy Killers display deadly attacks when their weapon or hand connects with their foe.
They may only use their strange attack 3 times in a fight, and it always requires a successful melee attack
(declared before hand). If a Strange Killer chooses to take a second, Alternate Attack as part of his package, he
may only use both of his attacks a total of 3 times.
Advantages: Choose one power below.
Skills: Either increase Brawl or a weapon
skill by +2 [8], or gain a second power as an
alternate ability [8]
Special Powers: Choose one of the
following:
• Burning Touch: The killer ignites
his target in a fiery attack. Ideal for
sheer damage. Inflict 3d Burning
damage on a successful blow, and
Follow-Up immediately with 2d
Burning, which further cycles every
turn for the next 3 seconds.
• Icy Touch: The killer freezes his foe
in place. Ideal for eliminating lesser
Delvers from the fight. Inflict 2d
Freezing Fatigue damage, and the target must roll HT (with a penalty equal to the damage inflicted)
or be Paralyzed for the remainder of the fight. This paralysis might be removed with a careful
thawing.
• Flaying Touch: The killer rends skin and sends fire coursing along nerves in this devastating attack.
Ideal for weakening a strong foe. Inflict 3d Impaling damage, and the target must roll HT (with a
penalty equal to the damage inflicted) or suffer Terrible Pain (-6) for the remainder of the battle.
• Corrupting Touch: The killer imparts a lethal disease, poison, or simply a entropic energy that slowly
dissolves the target. Ideal for scaring players after the fight is finished, and forcing them to come up
with solutions. Inflict 4d toxic damage and the target must make a HT roll or suffer an immediate
Follow Up of 2d toxic damage, that also cycles every minute for the next ten minutes. Depending on
the nature of the attack, Cure Disease, Neutralize Poison or simple Esoteric Healing (either Druid or
Holy) will purge the victim of the taint that besets him.
STALKERS
Monsters are sneaky. They don't play by the rules everyone else plays. Instead, they hide in the dark with
their snatching claws, lurk behind walls or scuttle across ceilings. They move swiftly and grab what they
want, harrying heroes before racing away to hide once more. These monsters focus on stealth, mobility and
battlefield control.
The primary statistic for a Stalker is his Dexterity. Agile, swift and mobile, they use their high dexterity and
basic move to stay out of the reach of the adventurers, often attacking with ranged weapons, or using their
superior stealth to slip around behind adventurers and ambush them. In a stand-up fight, though, they don't
usually fair so well, so Stalkers work best when they use the terrain to their advantage.
Stalkers have two flaws. Poorly equipped players may find themselves constantly outmaneuvered, unable to
mount an effective defense to such a fluid enemy. Stalkers might be a bad match for slow-moving, primarily
melee characters, unless you want to make a point about the importance of maneuverability. On the other
hand, Stalkers don't fare well when the player's finally pin them down, so you have to place them in positions
that will suit their talents: wide open areas with plenty of hiding places or strange terrain that they are well-
suited for. Remember, including Stalkers in your encounters changes the rules of engagement from a straight
up brawl to one of mobility and awareness.
Stalkers generally work best as minions, which suits the stalker stereotype of a cowardly, sneaky beast that
dies easily when you pin it down. Worthy or Boss stalkers tend to work best as "assassins."
Also, remember that creatures with a move higher than 10 get a step of 2 or more.
Secondary Attributes: Perception +1 [5]
Advantages: Night Vision 3 [3]
Disadvantages: One of HT-1, Will -2, Bad Smell, Cowardice, Dread (Light), Easy to Kill -5, Fearfulness -5,
Loner (6, -4), Low Pain Threshold, Paranoia all at [-10]
Skills: Stealth at DX+2 [8], and one of the following packages:
• Brawl DX+2 [4]
• Knife DX+2 [4], or Shortsword or Spear at DX+1 [4]
• Both Knife DX+1 [2] and Thrown Weapon (Knife) DX+1 [2] or both Spear or Axe/Mace DX [2] and
Thrown Weapon (Spear or Axe/Mace) DX+1 [2]
• Bow or Sling, both DX [4]
• Innate Attack, DX+2 [4]
Stalkers should only take Innate Attack if you plan on giving them a Strange template.
Smelly Stalkers can be detected by anyone with a good nose (and automatically fail any Stealth rolls against
someone with Discriminatory Smell).
Cowardly Stalkers should do everything they can to avoid a direct conflict with the heroes. Harrying them
from a distance is fine, but they'll run the instant the heroes close in. Furthermore, they suffer a -2 to Fear
checks.
Stalkers with Dread will avoid bright light, and cower (rather than fight) should they be trapped in a sudden
blaze of light. Optionally, you can instead inflict a -2 or -4 penalty on all their rolls while in bright light.
Easy to Kill is only appropriate to Stalker Bosses.
Loner Stalkers suffer from Bad Tempers whenever they are around lots of other monsters, and must roll to
keep from violently lashing out at them.
Low Pain Threshold is not appropriate for minion Stalkers.
Paranoid Stalker must roll to avoid believing anything dark and malicious said about their comrades, and
generally prefer to fight alone. They can be turned against their own with some successful trickery (or good
Fast-Talk rolls)
Additional Stalker Templates
Cunning Stalkers
Cunning Stalkers defeat their foes with their intellect and traps rather than direct confrontation. Before the
fight, consider secretly rolling Tactics to allow the Stalkers to know and exploit one of the party's weaknesses,
and consider allowing the Stalker to roll traps to set up a trap of their own (or two!). Beyond that, their main
asset is their ability to see through the delvers' trickery.
Attributes: IQ +1 [20]
Skills: Tactics IQ+3 [12], Traps IQ+2 [8]
Swift Stalkers
Swift Stalkers rely on mobility and use their terrain to the best of their advantage. Swift Stalkers are, in fact, a
wide category of various subsets. Some Swift Stalkers are quick swimmers or deft climbers or race through
tree branches to avoid their foes. Make sure you have some interesting terrain to give them the most of their
advantages.
Secondary Attributes: Move +2 [10]
Advantages: Combat Reflexes [15], Surefooted (Choose one) [1]
Skills: Choose one of the following: Swimming HT+2 [4], Acrobatics DX [4], or Climbing DX+1 [4]
Assassin Stalker
A Stalker's Stalker, the Assassin Stalker uses stealth and combat skill to his greatest advantage, slipping
behind his foes and eliminating them
ruthlessly. As all Assassin Stalkers have
access to the poison skill, consider allowing
them to slather their blades or arrows with
some deadly poison. Worthy or Boss
Assassin Stalkers often carry a spare vial of
poison on them that the heroes can loot.
Advantages: Silence 2 [10]
Skills: Increase Stealth by +1 [4] and one
weapon skill by +2 [8]. Gain Poison at IQ
[2]
Greater Assassin Stalker

Truly deadly Assassin Stalkers perfect their
already considerable stealth and become
nearly as proficient with their weapon as
most Killers are, making him a terror in his
own right. This template includes the Assassin Stalker template:
Advantages: Silence 2 [10]
Skills: Increase Stealth by +4 [16] and one weapon skill by +5 [20]. Gain Poison at IQ [2]
Strange Stalkers
Magical, mutant and unholy stalkers can manipulate their environment in strange fashions or unleash terrible
blasts upon their foes.
Special Powers: Choose on of the following powers
• Shadow Casting: These creepy Stalkers drag shadows around them to deepen the darkness, where
they feel most comfortable. Inflict darkness on an area up to 32 yards around the Stalker (generally,
an entire room), enough to inflict a -4 on all rolls regarding vision. Replace Nightvision with Dark
Vision
• Blink: The Stalker vanishes from one point and arrives at another in an instant. The Stalker may use
Warp to a distance of up to 10 yards up to 3 times a day. He gains +6 to his roll, but for practical
purposes, he should spend 1 turn concentrating, and then assume a success.
• Invisibility: The stalker vanishes from view! He has Invisibility, which he may switch on and off
automatically, and allows him to carry up to Light Encumbrance.
• Thorny Blast: The stalker snipes his foes with poisoned darts. The attack has Acc 3 1/2D 10, Max 100,
RoF 1. On a hit, inflict 3d Impaling damage and the target makes a HT roll with a penalty equal to
the damage dealt. Failure Stuns the target and inflicts 1d toxic damage for the next 3 seconds.
• Fire Blast: The stalker unleashes an explosive blast of fire! The attack has Acc 3 1/2D 10, Max 100,
RoF 1. On a hit, inflict 5d Burning damage. Everyone within 1 yard of the target takes 2d burning
damage, and everyone within 2 yards of the target takes 1d burning damage. Even on a miss, the
target might take some burning damage from the explosion (Roll for scatter).
• Storm Casting: The stalker summons wind and lightning to buffet and blast his targets. The attack has
Acc 3 1/2D 10, Max 100, RoF 1. On a hit, inflict either 6d(2) Burning damage with the Surge
modifier, or inflict 2 yards of Knockback if you successfully roll higher than the target's ST-2 on 3d6
(4 yards if you double his ST). Note that the air blast is mainly useful to position targets.
TRICKSTERS
Monsters are deceptive. They wear human skins and walk among men. They seduce, lie, cheat, steal and
always have some trick hidden up their sleeve. Only a fool would trust a monster, and yet some monsters are
so capable, so cunning, that people find themselves falling for their lies anyway. These monsters focus on
supporting other monsters, social skills and defeating their foes via non-combat tactics.
Tricksters focus on IQ as their primary attribute. As a result, they often lack the raw, physical power of other
monsters. They tend to make up for this by supporting other monsters in battle, or finding a way to engage
the players outside of typical combat, such as disguising themselves as a helpless maiden, or dazzling the
characters with Awe or Terror.
Ideal Tricksters tend to be worthies or, better, bosses who force the players to deal with their foe in an
unusual manner. Unlike most other monsters, they're quite happy to negotiate, and quite good at it as well. If
the players choose not to play the Trickster's game, the fight can be over very quickly, so you should have
some back up ideas in case the players just ignore the beast's honeyed words and just attack. Generally, this
involves either some convoluted trickery (the monster is at the far end of a very acoustic labyrinth), making
the Trickster enormously powerful in combat by adding other templates (motivating the players to play the
Trickster's games rather than fight him), or including additional monsters under the Trickster's command.
Combat-obsessed delver groups might not appreciate the finer points of a Trickster, but a party who enjoys
talking to monsters, especially a party with social characters like Bards, will appreciate the challenge more.
Advantages: One of Empathy, Will +3 or Perception +3 [15]
Disadvantages: One of Compulsive Lying (12), Overconfidence and Impulsive; Lecherousness; Sadism;
Trickster; Vow
(Harm none who can answer my riddles); All [-15]
Skills: One of Brawl or Knife at DX+1 [2], Rapier, Smallsword, Shortsword, Staff or Broadsword at DX [2];
One of Acting
or Fast Talk at IQ+2 [8], Sex Appeal at HT+2 [8] or Intimidation at Will+2 [8]
Notes:
Overconfident and Impulsive Tricksters always assume that they can handle the heroes. Unlike the rest of
their Trickster kin, they don't spend time plotting, but merely leap into the fray to test their wits. They
should never be allowed to plan in advance.
Lecherous Tricksters can easily be persuaded or distracted by attractive members of the opposite sex, and will
often seek to kidnap or befriend said characters. Naturally, Lecherous Tricksters are attracted to any
Attractive delver, regardless of race.
Sadistic Tricksters have to attempt kidnapping, rather than kill, their prey and then monologue endlessly
while they torture and tease their prey (often loudly, giving the players a chance to recover their missing
party member).
Trickster Tricksters focus on non-violent pranks over actual combat, and might prefer to create convoluted
puzzles to confound the players, and admit defeat when the puzzle is solved.
Finally Tricksters with the Vow (Harm none who can answer my riddles) must attempt to riddle with the
players before going into combat with them. Successfully “outriddling” such a trickster effectively defeats
him.
Additional Trickster Templates
Clever Trickster
Clever Tricksters are broadly useful, more capable in combat and adept at social skills. They tend to be
deceptive, but often focus more on warfare than pure trickery. They make excellent leaders for lesser
monsters. With their tactics, you should give patient Tricksters a chance to “plan ahead” and exploit the
weaknesses of heroes. With their Psychology, consider letting them know the emotional weaknesses of a
player, and play off of them. With Leadership, consider
letting them roll to overcome the mental disadvantages of
other monsters and bring them together to defeat the
delvers. As with Cunning Stalkers, consider allowing
Clever Tricksters a roll ahead of time to discover and
exploit a player's weakness, and a roll ahead of time to
establish some traps.
Skills: Tactics IQ-1 {2}, Traps IQ [2], your choice of +1 to
Fast Talk or Acting, or gain either Leadership or
Psychology at IQ+1 [4]. Finally, Add +1 to a single combat
skill [2].
Luscious Trickster
Some monsters are just plain sexy. Even relatively ugly monsters can be gorgeous if they turn out to be
Luscious Tricksters. The Luscious Trickster uses her (it's usually a her, but doesn't have to be) beauty to
disarm the players, often posing as a victim or a damsel, or simply offering them a night in her bed, before
striking. If that doesn't work, she hammers them with Awe.
When applying this template to a normally ugly monster, disregard that monster's ugliness.
Advantages: Beautiful (Universal +25%) [15], Awe [30]
Skills: Increase Sex Appeal by +1 [4] (But remember that her Beauty gives her an additonal +3)
Nightmarish Trickster
The opposite of the Luscious Trickster, the Nightmarish Trickster revels in his monstrosity. He is the mind-
numbing terror that makes the weak-minded go still. He still prefers to talk, but from the position of strength
that his chilling visage brings.
Most Nightmarish Tricksters are Impressive, but you can ignore that advantage for an ugly species, and
instead improve the Terror to a -2 to rolls, if you wish.
Advantages: Attractive (Impressive, Universal) [5], Terror (-1 to Fright Check) [40]
Skills: Increase Intimidation by +1 [4] (But don't forget to add the bonus from Impressive Looks for an
addition +1)
Strange Tricksters
More than any other type of monsters, Tricksters are likely to exhibit strange abilities. Magical, mutant or
unholy tricksters can deceive the senses, the mind, or even hoodwink fate.
Special Powers: Choose one of the following:
• Hypnotic Voice/Eyes: 3 times per day, the Trickster can attempt to control the mind of another who
can hear his voice or sees his eyes (Choose one when taking this power). This is Mind Control.
Concentrate, and then roll IQ +2 vs the Target's will. If the Trickster wins, he can control his target
for one minute per point he won the quick contest by. Incapacitation or forcing the target to do
something they would not (such as violating a Sense of Duty) forces another Quick Contest.
Furthermore, the Hypnotic Trickster gains +1 to IQ for [20] points.
• Dream-Weaving: You can manipulate what others think they see and hear. After concentrating, roll
IQ+2 vs the target's will. Success allows you to control what they see and hear. Your illusions may be
anything, but they cannot directly harm the target (an illusion of an arrow striking him does no
damage), and they still have control over their body. They can always choose to ignore what they see
and hear and “fight blind.” Thus, most Tricksters choose to create subtle illusions, so the target
doesn't realize he's being tricked
• Mimic: The Trickster can change its form to imitate what it sees. By spending a turn concentrating, it
can shifts its form to match whatever it can see (in general terms: if it sees humans, it can choose to
exactly mimic the humans it sees, or it can choose to become a general human). It gains none of the
powers of the creature it changed into. It must retain its mass and it can only change into other
“animals,” but it may appear to be any creature it sees otherwise.
• Luck Shifter: The Trickster can rewrite chance to a limited degree. Once per 30 minutes of game
play, it may force any roll (its own or others made it its presence) to be rerolled twice, and it chooses
the roll it likes the most. It can use this to force others to fail, or to force itself to succeed. It may not
use its power against a very specific subset of people (for example, people that know its name, or
people wearing the color blue, etc). Determine this limitation ahead of time.
BRUTES
Monsters are tough. They ignore the lesser blows of mortal men, armored in plates of demonic steel, slabs of
greasy flesh or alien carapaces. Even if you do kill them, they just rise from the grave, hungry for flesh and
revenge. Only the blessed blade of heroes can hope to defeat these monsters.
Brutes focus on Strength and Health as their primary attributes. This makes them extraordinarily tough
fighters who can be dangerous as well, making them vital for a "tanking" role, acting as a living wall of meat
for their monstrous allies. In general, they simply wade into battle and harry the delvers, forcing them to pay
attention to them while other, less durable monsters are free from danger. Brutes have more than just
physical durability, however. They're often treated with mental and spiritual durability as well, making them
tough on spell caster and social characters too.
Brutes make for poor minions, for obvious reasons. As worthies, Brutes do what they can to distract the
players, and work well if they are dangerous, but if the players can ignore them to go after more interesting
targets, then the Brute has failed in his defensive role. Design him accordingly. Brute Bosses make excellent
adversaries, however, as their durability forces the players to problem-solve if they want to defeat him.
Advantages: ST +1 [10], HT +1 [10]
Secondary Attributes: HP +4 [8], Will +2[10]
Advantages: High Pain Threshold [10], +1 ST [10] or +1 HT [10]
Disadvantages: Choose one of Perception -2, Berserker, Bestial, Sense of Duty (A specific group of monsters
or followers of a Religion), Gullibility (12), Gluttony (6), Vow (To Defend a particular spot eternally) or
Vulnerability (x2 damage from a Rare substance, defaults to Silver) all worth [-10]
Skills: One of the following packages:
• Brawling DX+2 [4] and Wrestling DX+2 [8]
• Wrestling DX+1 [4] and one of the following weapon skills: Axe/Mace, Broadsword, Staff, Spear,
Two-Handed Axe/Mace, Two-Handed Sword at DX+2 [8]
• Shield DX+2 [4] and one of the following weapon skills: Broadsword, Axe/Mace, Spear at DX+2 [8]
Notes: While this and all the other templates lists odd hit point values, when your final values are
determined, consider rounding to the nearest 5 for ease of dealing with the huge Brute HP totals. Remember
the rules of High HP and Shock (419) and High HP and Natural Recovery (424), as Brutes will often enjoy
those benefits.
Berserk and Bestial Brutes behave much like their Killer counterparts.
Dutiful Brutes go out of their way to protect their kin and can easily be persuaded or negotiated with if it
becomes clear that the heroes will kill everyone the Brute intends to protect.
Gluttonous Brutes must roll to resist their disadvantage if, while negotiating, they are offered food.
Brutes with a Vow will never consciously leave the side of the thing they have vowed to protect, and no
negotiation is possible. However, players can generally avoid them by avoiding the protected item.
Finally Vulnerable Brutes provide an opprotunity for players to get around their huge defenses more easily.
The vulnerability can be anything rare, but silver is the default, because “silver weapons” are synonymous
with attacking monstrous vulnerabilities. However, you may use something else similarly appropriate.
Additional Brute Templates
Graceful Brute
While many Brutes rely on their sheer HP totals to get them through their fights, the Graceful Brute prefers
to rely on his speed and skill to prevent injury to himself. They force players to use Feints and Deceptive
attacks to get past his solid parries and dodges.
Advantages: Combat Reflexes or Enhanced Dodge [15], Enhanced Parry (One Melee Weapon) +2 or
Enhanced Block (Shield) +2 [10]
Skills: Increase one Weapon Skill, Brawl or Shield by +1 [4]
Greater Graceful Brute

This Brute has honed its skill with a weapon to complete perfection, creating a wall of flashing steel that
keeps any foe at bay, and allows him to slip past the defenses of unprepared foes. This template includes the
Graceful Brute template.
Advantages: Combat Reflexes or Enhanced Dodge [15], Enhanced Parry (One Melee Weapon) +2 or
Enhanced Block (Shield) +2 [10]
Skills: Increase one Weapon Skill, Brawl or Shield by +7 [28]
Hardy Brute
The Brute's Brute. The Hardy Brute is just tougher than everyone else, with more hit points than any single
monster has the right to. They lack elegance, charging forward and letting their massive meat-bodies absorb
all damage.
Attributes: ST+1 [10], HT +1 [10]
Secondary Attributes: HP +12 [24]
Advantages: Damage Resistance 2 (Tough Skin -40%) [6]
Greater Hardy Brute
Even tougher than his Hardy Brute kin, almost nothing can put a Greater Hardy Brute down. Ideal for
absurdly tough Bosses. This template includes the Hardy Brute
Attributes: ST +2 [20], HT +2 [20]
Secondary Attributes: HP +16 [32]
Advantages: Damage Resistance 5 (Tough Skin -40%) [15], Hard to Kill +3 [6]
Stolid Brute
Not all fights are about HP or Parry values. Sometimes the battle is won by a resistance to any and all
influence attempts. The Stolid Brute focuses tirelessly on the goal at hand, never wavering.
Secondary Attributes: Will +4 [20]
Advantages: Indomitable [15], Unfazeable [15]
Mana Breaker Brute

Like the Stolid Brute, the Mana Breaker focuses on something other than physical durability. In his case,
spiritual durability, resisting the powers of mages and clerics alike.
Advantages: HT +2 [20]
Secondary Attributes : Will +4 [20]
Advantages: Magic Resistance +5 [10]
Strange Brutes
Magical, mutant or unholy Brutes display unnatural tenacity and hardiness, forcing the players to problem
solve on how best to defeat such a monstrosity. Each
Strange Brute, in addition to the Power Modifier, has a
vulnerability that heroes can exploit.
Disadvantages: Choose either Vulnerability (Rare (Default:
Silver), x2) or Increase current Vulnerability to (Rare, x4)
or (Occasional, x2). Occasional Vulnerabilities might
include: Magical Weapons, non-magical weapons, steel,
wood.
Special Powers: Choose one of the Following
• Vampiric Aura: Everyone within a 2 yard radius of
the Brute loses 1 HP per turn, which increases the
Brutes HP by a similar amount.
• Invulnerability: Choose one type of damage or one
broad weapon type (Steel, Wood, Cutting Damage,
Crushing Damage, Impaling Damage). The Brute gains +4 DR vs that damage type, and any
remaining damage is reduced to one-fourth before it is applied to the Brute's HP.
• Pain Aura: Everyone within 2 yards of the Brute must roll HT or be wracked by Terrible Pain (-6).
This pain lasts for 1 minute, or until the Brute is killed
• Greater Armor: The Brute is sheathed in powerful armor (a magical shield, a potent carapace, runic
platemail). It prevents him from wearing any additional armor, but grants a DR of 20.
• Regeneration: The Brute focuses his inner energies and unleashes enormous healing potential, his
flesh knitting before the eyes of the Delver. It grants him 10 seconds of Extreme Regeneration
(requires 1 turn of concentration, 3 uses per day), and an additional +10 HP.
CASTERS
While not in the first version of my monster book, we quickly discovered that you must have magical
monsters in a dungeon fantasy game, and so I put together some Caster templates.
Like Tricksters, Casters focus on IQ, but where Tricksters are leaders and social characters, Casters focus
entirely on scholarly pursuits and magic spells. Casters are well suited for warlocks, liches, witches, cultists
and demi-gods. They perform the same basic roles that casters do in a party: the harry the enemy, support
and heal their allies, and cast powerful attack spells.
The primary problem with casters is that they are hard for the GM to track. They have many spells, they
must spend turns casting and track fatigue. As a result, I recommend having no more than one or two casters
per encounter, simply for your own sanity! In general, I offer the option of taking Wild Car Spell Colleges,
and I recommend you take it. It's not necessarily well balanced, but it's alot easier to note that a monster has
Fire Magic! at 16 than it is to list his various and sundry fire spells. If you choose to use Caster minions,
remember that each can cast one spell once, and that's it. No worrying about Fatigue. I have a table of "quick
references" for common spells that monstrous casters might use, including page numbers (not the actual
effects: gotta by the Magic book for that :P), a prerequisite count (for use with the Wild Card Magic), which I
might post at the end, provided I have time.
Attributes: IQ+1 [20]
Secondary Attributes: Fatigue +2 [6]
Advantages: Choose one of the following
• Magery +1 [15] (Or, if your race begins with Magery 0+, gain +1 Magery and +1 Will)
• Clerical Investment [5] and Power Investiture 1 (Holy or Unholy) [10]
• Perception +1 [5] and Power Investiture 1 (Druid) [10]
Disadvantages: Choose one of: ST -1, Bully (12), Cowardice (12), Dread (Holy Symbols, 1 yard), Easy to Read,
Frightens Animals, Life Bane, Megalomania, Paranoia, or Phantom Voices (Disturbing), all worth [-10]
Skills: Choose one of Innate Attack or Knife, both at DX+2 [4] or Staff at DX+1 [4]; Choose one of Occultism
at IQ+1[4] or Theology at IQ [4]
Spells: Choose twelve spells at IQ-1* for [1] each, or choose one Spell College! Skill at IQ* for [12]
Notes: Casters can resemble Wizards, Clerics or Druids when it comes to their magic, and generally learn
equivalent spells. They have a wide assortment of disadvantages available to them, many of which have
already been discussed or need no further explanations.
Easy to Read Casters suffer -4 to all rolls to try to trick the delvers, or to resist any attempts to discern his real
motives or interests.
Casters that Dread Holy Symbols will not willingly approach within a yard of one (cheap holy symbols work,
improvised do not).
Megalomaniacal Casters behave exactly as you might expect they would.
Additional Caster Templates
Archcaster
More advanced casters often bury their noses into books or spend all their time praying to their dark god, and
thus master the fine art of their magic. These casters have high skill levels, or very broad powers, providing
them with numerous options in a fight. You may take this template repeatedly.
Advantages: Magery +1 or Power Investiture +1 (Holy, Unholy, Druid) [10]
Skills: +2 to Innate Attack, Staff, Knife, Occultism or Theology[8]
Spells: 12 points divided among spells, +1 to Spell College!, or gain a new Spell College! At IQ+1* [12]
Power Caster
Some casters are innately powerful. They bear the gift of their dark god, or magic burns bright in their dark,
twisted soul. While these casters lack the proficiency of their Archcaster cousins, they more than make up for
it in sheer power. Their enormous fatigue reserves allows them to cast the more powerful of spells more
often, thus laying waste to the party with sheer, brute spiritual might. You may take this template repeatedly.
Secondary Attributes: Fatigue +10 [30]
Skills: +2 to Innate Attack, Staff, Knife, Occultism or Theology[8]
Spells: 12 points divided among spells, +1 to Spell College!, or gain a new Spell College! At IQ+1* [12]
Wild Caster
Some casters use their magic innately, calling on their ancestral heritage or the very power of the air in their
lungs and the ground beneath their feet. Three times per session, they may cast any single spell, regardless of
prerequisites or capability, by rolling IQ + Magery. They must still pay the appropriate energy costs and
spend the appropriate time casting. You may take this template repeatedly, each time adding three more uses.
This template is ideally suited to magic users whose spell lists the GM doesn't want to work out ahead of
time, merely casting "whatever is appropriate."
Advantages: Wild Talent 3 (Magic Spells only -20%) [48]
Blood Caster
Blood Casters have a special pact with their dark god, or have unlocked malicious, necromantic secrets that
allow them to power their magic with the souls of the recently slain. Either way, once per session, if they kill
one of their own comrades in a gruesome, ritual fashion (generally fodder), they instantly gain 25 fatigue that
they may use to power a single spell. You may take this template repeatedly, each time adding an additional
(unique, non-stackable) use of the sacrificial power. This sort of caster is ideal for scaring the crap out of the
players with vast displays of power, but also gives them a chance to prevent the caster from unleashing his
enormous spell by stopping him from killing a minion.
Secondary Attributes: +25 Fatigue (Once per day (Usable for one spell) -40%, Requires a sacrificed minion
-10%) [50]
EPIC MONSTERS
Some monsters are well and truly beyond the run of the mill horror that stalks the land of Dungeon Fantasy.
You can't just run up to them and hit them over and over with your sword until they die. They're beyond
that. Space and time are toys in their hands. They are immortal, god-like, unkillable. Facing an Epic Monster
is the sort of deed that men record of in their legends and myths.
Be warned: These Epic templates are designed to make the monster "unbeatable." They force the players to
"think outside the box" and approach the battle in some round-about way. Use these templates sparingly.
Orcs and goblins should never be epic, but dragons and elder gods usually are. Epic Templates work best with
bosses, but certain amazing worthies might be Epic too. I can't fathom an epic Minion. The very thought
terrifies me.
Epic Destruction
The greatest of monsters kill with as little as a touch or a glance. Often, their foes don't even know what
killed them. Whether it's the Gorgon's stony gaze or the Reaper's icy tough, facing a monster with these
powers is to face the certainty of death.
When using monsters with Epic Destruction powers, understand that you bring to the table the very real
possibility that a player character will die. He'll slip up, or he'll fail to kill the monster in time, or he'll do
something stupid in a battle with no margin for error. Be prepared to either accept the consequences of that,
or have some plans established that will let the players live without diminishing the threat of the epic
monster you have so carefully crafted.
In addition to being extremely deadly, Epic Destruction powers change the face of the battlefield. They force
the players to fight in new ways or under new circumstances. This is the real purpose of the Epic Destruction
powers (and really all of the Epic Powers): to force the players to approach the situation in a novel fashion.
• Stone Visage: Any who look upon the face of the monster must instantly roll HT or turn to stone.
Mechanically, being stoned is identical to being in a coma: Your character cannot move or act until
he is “healed” either by a Stone to Flesh spell, or by having the “Curse Dispelled” or having his statue
returned a place of healing. A statue weighs twice as much as the original person did, for the intents
of encumbrance. You can look at the reflection of the monster, but anyone who looks at the monster
directly must make the HT roll.
• Doom: Three times per day, the monster may cast a Malediction upon one of his foes. Take a
concentration action and roll Will, subtracting the distance between the target and the monster in
yards as a penalty. The target must win a quick contest against the monster's roll with the lower of
his HT-3 or his Will-3. Failure results in the character's death, something the target instantly knows.
This death sentence is delayed by 1 minute. If at the end of that minute, the monster who inflicted
the curse is still alive, the character dies. Doom is ideal for adding a hard time limit and a sense of
desperation to the fight.
• Armageddon: Once per battle, the monster unleashes a wave of complete and total destruction that
completely rewrites the battlefield. First, the monster must Ready his attack over the course of 4
turns. The fact that he's powering up a major attack is readily obvious to anyone who glances his
direction (glowing balls of energy, intense auras, the trembling roar of his power). When he has
finished readying his power, he attacks, unleashing an explosive 20d blast of burning (or crushing, if
you prefer) damage. This strikes everything within a twenty yard radius, though each yard between
the target and the monster reduces the dice of damage by 1. After the smoke clears, the battlefield
has changed in some profound way that the monster has no control over (it is set on fire, or covered
in ice, or filled with rivulets of magma or torn apart and filled with cracks and gulleys, whatever is
appropriate for the “element” of the attack). This should involve a new map in tactical combat, or
new movement rules in normal combat.
Epic Mastery
The greatest of monsters unleash sweeping disasters that cover a vast area. Dragons call up flames or storms.
Serpents summon floods. Demons rewrite space and time
so entire villages just vanish. To face these monsters is to
have the very ground pulled out from under your feet.
Epic Masteries focus on making broad changes to the
battlefield. As a result, they are among the “safest” of the
Epic Monster Powers to use, as they are suitably flashy to
impress the delvers with the severity of the enemy without
completely overwhelming them. Still, battling a monster
with one of these powers is an exercise in creativity, for
they rewrite the rules of the battle in their own favor.
• Swallowing Void: The monster casts everything
into complete and total darkness. An area up to 32
yards in radius plummets into complete (-10)
darkness. He may move this area about, shifting
the shape of the shadow radius, or even casting it far away from him. The borders of the area aren't
clear, representing vague twilight areas that trick a person into walking deeper into the shadowy
mist. Furthermore, the Void-Caster has Dark Vision (which allows him to see perfectly well in his
unnatural shadows) and Silence +4, so nobody will hear him coming.
• Typhon's Grasp: The monster can control the weather, summoning a vast and terrible storm that
covers an area of up to 1000 yards in radius (over a mile wide). He concentrates and then makes an
IQ roll. If successful, he summons the storm. Every turn, the monster my direct the winds and rain to
offer a +2 or a -2 to anyone (for example, impeding vision or ranged attack rolls) he wishes.
Furthermore, every turn he gets a two free attacks, in addition to his normal actions. The first is a
lightning blast (3d(2) burning) and the second is a sweeping wind (3d force that causes x2 knockback
and no wounding). The powerful storm threatens to escape the monster's grasp, though, and anytime
something unusual or surprising happens, the monster must roll Will or temporarily lose control of
the storm.
• Path Breaking: The monster reaches out and shatters the tenuous ties of space that bind reality
together, leaving a wild, shifting mess of strange pathways and weird, spatial distortions. The monster
concentrates and then makes an IQ roll. If successful, he breaks space and may redirect space for the
next minute. He may grant a +5 or -5 to any move action or to ranged attacks (as things turn out to be
closer or farther than one expected) by concentrating for a turn. Furthermore, broken space doesn't
“work” properly. The GM should decide the new ways players might navigate (doors lead to new
rooms, the way to get up the stairs is to go down, etc) to get around the room. If the GM is using
tactical combat, consider "shuffling" some of the miniatures around, or changing maps, to represent
the rewritten paths of space.
Epic Manipulation
The greatest of monsters can manipulate the very nature of reality. The rules of the conflict shift around
them in their favor, but subtly, sometimes imperceptibly. The Faerie plays with time, and the mad thing from
beyond the borders of reality steals people's sanity. To face one of these monsters is to struggle to maintain
your grip on reality.
Epic Manipulations resemble Epic Masteries in that both are relatively safe, but interesting powers that
complete change the nature of the fight. Epic Manipulations tend to be more subtle, internal and direct than
Epic Masteries, however. They focus on changing the rules for an individual, rather than for the entire
battlefield.
• Madness: The monster utters a dark word or unveils its real form as an attack action, and everyone
within 8 yards must make a Will Roll -4 to resist. For every yard between themselves and the
monster, add +1 to their roll as the distance between them keeps them safe. Furthermore, only those
who see or hear (choose one when creating the monster) are affected. Those who fail gain a -15 point
mental disadvantage of the GM's choice, which lasts for 1 minute per point the player failed by. GMs
are encouraged to be creative with the insanity they inflict on the players: rather than knocking
them into catatonia, use it as a chance to force them to be creative around their newly acquired
derangement.
• Reality Rewrite: The world does not work around the monsters as it should. Everything that can go
wrong, does go wrong. The monster gains Serendipity 3 (Wishing) and Extraordinary Luck
(Wishing), which allows him to force any roll in his presence to be rerolled twice, with him choosing
the result he likes best, once every thirty minutes of gameplay, and he may have three “lucky” events
occur in his favor whenever he wishes, and in whatever form he wishes.
• Grandfather Clock: The monster manipulates time. He may unleash a Malediction upon anyone he
wishes by rolling Will (penalized by distance as normal), which the target resists with IQ (IQ-1 for
Decelerate). If the target fails, the monster may inflict Accelerated Time Rate 1, Decelerated Time
Rate 1, or Paralysis on his foe. He may do this as often as he wishes, but he may only have one such
effect active at a time. To start a new effect, he must end a previous effect (Thus, a monster who has
first paralyzed someone and now wishes to Accelerate someone else must first release the paralyzed
target).
Epic Durability
The greatest of monsters cannot die. Hero after hero may try, but their arrows bounce off of unbreakable
scales, or the monster merely rises from the grave again and again and again. Not even Hell is strong enough
to keep these monsters down.
Epic Durability presents a challenge to the players who must determine a way to best kill the monster,
because without clever tactics, they can't. To make this sort of encounter work, you must make the defeat of
the monster imperative, lest the players choose to fight something altogether more mortal. Further, such an
encounter can be exceedingly frustrating as all their efforts go to nothing. Be prepared to reveal the monster's
vulnerable point or move the story along before it drags down into endless futility.
• Immortal: The monster is Supernaturally Durable, which means it ignores stunning and penalties
until it reaches 0 HP, and only suffers ½ movement penalties when it reaches -1 x HP. The monster
can only die if a single attack inflicts 10 x HP in damage, or targets the monster's vulnerability, which
must be chose before hand (Suggestions: Magic Weapons, Steel, Wood, Silver, Ornate Weapons)
• Total Regeneration: The monster heals as quickly as its opponents damage it. Every turn, the monster
heals 10 HP (remember the rules for high HP and healing: So a 50 HP monster heals 50 HP per turn).
Furthermore, the monster has +10 HP, and either a vulnerability (x2 damage from an occasional
material, or x4 from a rare, such as Silver), or its Regeneration has a dependency limitation, requiring
the presence of Mana or Unholiness or “remaining in touch with the ground” or something similar.
• Dark Reincarnation: Upon dying, the monster instantly regenerates to full health and manifests a
new, even more powerful form. This new form has +5 ST, +1 DX, +1 SM, and gains 150 points worth
of templates (1 epic Template, a greater template and a standard template or three standard
templates). The monster only does this once per battle. If the players slay the Dark Reincarnation
form, the monster truly dies.
Abandoned Temple
The Abandoned Temple is born when a hideous crime occurs in a temple. The furnishings, the ceiling and
the walls of the temple crack and join together, assuming a vaguely humanoid shape. It attacks with its heavy
furnishings.

Aboleth
Aboleths are aberrations, 20' long prehistoric fish with three eyes, four tentacles sprouting from their body,
just behind the massive, blunt head. Aboleths are true horrors, dwelling deep beneath the ground in ancient
underseas, from which they seek to enslave or destroy all things not like themselves.
Aboleths are possessed of a terrible knowledge, for every newborn aboleth is born both fully mature, and
with the knowledge of it's parent. Throughout life, aboleth's consume many things, gaining the memories
and knowledge of those who they eat.
Aboleths are capable of mentally enslaving any life form within 30', although an aboleth's mentally
dominated foes will never fight on the aboleth's behalf. This enslavement can be performed 3 times a day.
Every 24 hours, the slave may attempt a new resistence roll. The power is broken should the aboleth die or
travel more than a mile from the slave. Aboleths also have intense illusion powers at will
Attribute Modifiers: ST+15; DX+3; IQ+5; HT+3

Secondary Characteristic Modifiers: SM+2
Advantages: Constriction Attack; Doesn't Breathe (Gills); Enhanced Move (Water) (2); Extra Arms (2); Extra
Attack (1); Illusion Powers:
• Enslavement: Mind Control(Permament(subject resists ever 24hours, and may be countered by
Remove Curse or Dispel Magic), Nuisance Effect(subject has pacifism(Will not fight for aboleth)),
Range as regular spell, Telepathic, Limited use(3/day)). An average Aboleth has IQ 15, meaning that
it can reliably use this power out to 13 yards(or 39'), though it's effectiveness tapers off rapidly. This
means the aboleth has to be closer to get good results. The mind control is for all intents permenent,
though a new resistence roll is attempted(at no penalty) every 24 hours. The mind control can be
broken by killing the aboleth, removing the victim a mile away, or any effect that Removes Curses or
Dispels Magic.
• Hypnotic Pattern: a twisting pattern of subtle, shifting colors weaves through the air, fascinating
creatures within it. Effects the easiest targets first, and has an upper limit (2d+3 of creatures effected).
Lasts for concentration +6 seconds after. Affliciton 1(Hallucination, Malediction, Based on Will, Long
Range 1, Requires Concentrate, telepathic)
• Illusory Wall: creates the illusion of a wall. It look's real, but phyical objects can pass through with
no difficulty. Permenent, with the area of 1'x10'x'10'. Illusion(Permanent, Static, Visual Only,
telepathic). Creates a static, visual illusion of a wall not more than 100 cubic feet. The illusion is
permanent unless dispelled.
• Mirage Arcana: allows the creation of an illusion of an area, including smell, vision, sound and touch.
The area is one 20' cube per caster level(16 for an aboleth). Duration: concentration+1 hour.
• Persistent Image: create's an illusion of an object, creature or force. Sound, vision, smell and touch
are affected. The area to be effected is huge(four 10' cubes + one 10' cube per level –16-). Lasts for 16
minutes.
• Programmed Image: as persistent image, but it only activates when a condition (specified by the
aboleth) is met, at which point it lasts for 96 seconds.
• Project Image: using the plane of shadow, the aboleth create's an illusory image of itself, that is quasi-
real. The image mimics the actions of the aboleth, unless the aboleth consciously directs it to do
otherwise(allowing the aboleth to still move, cast spells, etc). The aboleth can see through the image's
eyes and hear through it's ears. While doing so, the aboleth's own senses are unusable. To switch
between either the image's senses or it's own, is a free action. Any spell/power cast by the aboleth
that has a range of touch or more can be cast from the point where the image resides. The projected
image may only cast illusion spells on itself. Line of effect must be maintained at all times, or the
image vanishes. Line of effect is like line of sight, but is only blocked by solids, and not the things
that would block LOS(such as fog, smoke, darkness, etc). The duration is 96 seconds
• Veil: changes the appearance of any number of creatures, no two of which can be more than 30ft
apart. Vision, Touch and Smell are emulated. Duration is concentration+16 hours.
Disadvantages: Bloodlust (12 or less); Bully (12 or less); Callous; No Legs (Aquatic); No Manipulators
Role: Any, preferably Bosses

Hypnotic Eyes: 3 times per day, the Angel can attempt to control the mind of another who can sees his eyes.
This is Mind Control. Concentrate, and then roll IQ +2 vs the Target's will. If the Angel wins, he can control
his target for one minute per point he won the quick contest by. Incapacitation or forcing the target to do
something they would not (such as violating a Sense of Duty) forces another Quick Contest.
Armageddon: Once per battle, the Angel unleashes a wave of complete and total destruction that completely
rewrites the battlefield. First, the monster must Ready his attack over the course of 4 turns. The fact that he's
powering up a major attack is readily obvious to anyone who glances his direction (glowing balls of energy,
intense auras, the trembling roar of his power). When he has finished readying his power, he attacks,
unleashing an explosive 20d blast of burning damage. This strikes everything within a twenty yard radius,
though each yard between the target and the monster reduces the dice of damage by 1. After the smoke
clears, the battlefield has changed in some profound way that the Angel has no control over (it is set on fire).
This should involve a new map in tactical combat, or new movement rules in normal combat.
Path Breaking: The Angel reaches out and shatters the tenuous ties of space that bind reality together, leaving
a wild, shifting mess of strange pathways and weird, spatial distortions. The Angel concentrates and then
makes an IQ roll. If successful, he breaks space and may redirect space for the next minute. He may grant a +5
or -5 to any move action or to ranged attacks (as things turn out to be closer or farther than one expected) by
concentrating for a turn. Furthermore, broken space doesn't “work” properly. The GM should decide the new
ways players might navigate (doors lead to new rooms, the way to get up the stairs is to go down, etc) to get
around the room. If the GM is using tactical combat, consider "shuffling" some of the miniatures around, or
changing maps, to represent the rewritten paths of space.
Madness: The Angel utters a dark word and everyone within 8 yards must make a Will Roll -4 to resist. For
every yard between themselves and the monster, add +1 to their roll as the distance between them keeps
them safe. Furthermore, only those who hear are affected. Those who fail gain a -15 point mental
disadvantage of the GM's choice, which lasts for 1 minute per point the player failed by. GMs are encouraged
to be creative with the insanity they inflict on the players: rather than knocking them into catatonia, use it as
a chance to force them to be creative around their newly acquired derangement.
Ankheg
The ankheg is a burrowing monster usually found in forests or choice agricultural land. Because of its
fondness for fresh meat, the ankheg is a threat to any creature unfortunate enough to encounter it. The
ankheg resembles an enormous many-legged worm. Its six legs end in sharp hooks suitable for burrowing and
grasping, and its powerful mandibles are capable of snapping a small tree in half with a single bite. A tough
chitinous shell, usually brown or yellow, covers its entire body except for its soft pink belly. The ankheg has
glistening black eyes, a small mouth lined with tiny rows of chitinous teeth, and two sensitive antennae that
can detect movement of man-sized creatures up to 300 feet away.
The ankheg's preferred attack method is to lie 5 to 10 feet below the surface of the ground until its antennae
detect the approach of a victim. It then burrows up beneath the victim and attempts to grab him in its
mandibles, crushing and grinding while secreting acidic digestive enzymes. The ankheg can squirt a stream of
acidic enzymes once every six hours to a distance of 30 feet. However, since it is unable to digest food for six
hours after it squirts enzymes, it uses this attack technique only when desperate.

Ankou
It is said that he is the one who collects the souls of the dead and aids them on their journey to the next
world, in his rickety old cart. The cart is pulled along either by two horses, one of which is old and thin while
the other is youthful and strong, or by four black horses of unspecified age. According to legend he is tall, and
wears a widebrimmed hat and long coat. Some tales have it that he has two companions, who are skeletons in
some versions, following behind his cart and tossing the dead into it. Ankou are remarkably perceptive,
having the ability to continually see in all directions at once.

Dream-Weaving: the creature can manipulate what others think they see and hear. After concentrating, it
rolsl IQ+2 vs the target's will. Success allows it to control what they see and hear. Your illusions may be
anything, but they cannot directly harm the target (an illusion of an arrow striking him does no damage), and
they still have control over their body. They can always choose to ignore what they see and hear and “fight
blind.” Thus, the Ankou chooses to create subtle illusions, so the target doesn't realize he's being tricked.
Doom: Three times per day, the monster may cast a Malediction upon one of his foes. Take a concentration
action and roll Will, subtracting the distance between the target and the monster in yards as a penalty. The
target must win a quick contest against the Ankou's roll with the lower of his HT-3 or his Will-3. Failure
results in the character's death, something the target instantly knows. This death sentence is delayed by 1
minute. If at the end of that minute, the Ankou who inflicted the curse is still alive, the character dies.
Annihilator
The Annihilators are all-muscle creatures. They attack in ambush or stalk their victims. Their strenght is

Araknor
In the depth of the Underdark there's the Araknor. These abominations serve Lolth and its minions, the
Drow. They attack with astounding speed: their nagigata and warhammer can kill a man with one blow. The
Araknors spin a strong web to engulf the enemies.

Corrupting Touch (18): The Araknor imparts a lethal poison that slowly dissolves the target. Ideal for scaring
players after the fight is finished, and forcing them to come up with solutions. Inflict 4d toxic damage and the
target must make a HT roll or suffer an immediate Follow Up of 2d toxic damage, that also cycles every
minute for the next ten minutes. Neutralize Poison will purge the victim of the taint that besets him.
Arrow Demon
The Arrow Demon is the perfect killer: silent, dexterous and unerring in the use of its longbows. It is a skilful
sniper.

Advantages: Acute Vision (4); Brachiator; Chameleon (5); Combat Reflexes; Damage Resistance (3); Enhanced
Tracking (1); Extra Arms (2); Extra Attack (1); Imbue (3); Infravision; Perfect Balance; Silence (5);
Disadvantages: Bad Temper (12 or less); Bestial; Bloodlust (12 or less); Callous
Recommended Skill: Acrobatics; Bow; Camouflage; Envenomed Weapon (Bow); Far Shot (Bow); Guided
Weapon (Bow); Stealth
• Envenomed Arrow: the arrows of the Demon become envenomed. Such an attack gains a 1-point
followup toxic attack that obeys the rules for the Follow-Up modifier (p. B105). If the weapon attack
fails to penetrate DR, its follow-up does nothing! Higher toxic damage gives a penalty of -1 for 1d-2,
-2 for 1d-1, -3 for 1d, -4 for 1d+1, -5 for 1d+2, -6 for 2d-1, -7 for 2d, -8 for 2d+1, -9 for 2d+2, or -10
for 3d; minimum damage is 1 point in all cases.
• Far Shot: Far Shot gives the bow of the Arrow Demon more range, most often by stabilizing its flight
via force control. An unmodified skill roll doubles both 1/2D and Max. -2 to multiply 1/2D and Max
by 5, -4 to multiply by 10, -6 to multiply by 20, -8 to multiply by 50, -10 to multiply by 100, and so
on
• Guided Weapon: guided Weapon lets the Demon control an arrow after releasing it, guiding it to its
target with magical force control. This works just like the Guided enhancement (p. B106): the attack
ignores range penalties and the projectile moves at 1/2D yards/second – regardless of its normal speed
– until it hits the target or reaches Max range. Against distant targets, the Demon must take a
Concentrate maneuver on turns after the first to control its weapon. -1 if the Arrow Demon can turn
the projectile around for a second attack next turn, at the original effective skill level, in the event
that your target dodges the first one; -2 to get a third pass; and so on.

Mimic: The Demon can change its form to imitate what it sees. By spending a turn concentrating, it can shifts
its form to match whatever it can see (in general terms: if it sees humans, it can choose to exactly mimic the
humans it sees, or it can choose to become a general human). It gains none of the powers of the creature it
changed into. It must retain its mass and it can only change into other “animals,” but it may appear to be any
creature it sees otherwise.

Asura
Asuras are immortal beings whose origins are rooted in rejection and destruction. They are manifestations of
divine accident, living blasphemies risen from mistakes made by the gods themselves. Given horrible life
through these unspeakable divine errors, the asuras seek to sow doubt among mortals and ultimately revenge
themselves upon the gods for their accursed existences.
Most asuras share a cohesive philosophy that culminates in nothing less than the systematic destruction of
everything the gods have had a hand in creating. To this end, asuras study and meditate on the nature of
creation so that they might better know how the cosmos can be unmade.
While an asura’s individual incarnations can be slain, these fiends are nearly impossible to destroy
permanently. The divine spark in them returns to the presence of mighty asura lords, the asura ranas, in Hell
or elsewhere.
Within a variable amount of time, usually some multiple of 7 years, a slain asura reincarnates as a weaker
asura. A truly devoted asura that died in service to the asura cause might be given its old form at the cost of
some of the asura rana’s essence. Reincarnated asuras remember their past lives, their origins, and any enemy
who has wronged them, and while their appearances and resources change, their thirst for revenge is eternal.

Bear Grip (18): the Asura grasps with its six arms the enemy and crushes (ST 28)
Hallucinations (24) (Will-4): the Asura casts three hallucinating attacks onto its enemies, causing hideous
images to its victims
Dream-Weaving: the Asura can manipulate what others think they see and hear. After concentrating, it rolls
IQ+2 vs the target's will. Success allows it to control what they see and hear. Its illusions may be anything,
but they cannot directly harm the target (an illusion of an arrow striking him does no damage), and they still
have control over their body. They can always choose to ignore what they see and hear and “fight blind.”
Thus, the Asura chooses to create subtle illusions, so the target doesn't realize he's being tricked
Armageddon: once per battle, the Asura unleashes a wave of complete and total destruction that completely
powering up a major attack is readily obvious to anyone who glances his direction (intense aura). When it has
finished readying its power, it attacks, unleashing an explosive 20d blast of burning damage. This strikes
everything within a twenty yard radius, though each yard between the target and the monster reduces the
dice of damage by 1. After the smoke clears, the battlefield has changed in some profound way that the
monster has no control over (it is filled with rivulets of magma). This should involve a new map in tactical
combat, or new movement rules in normal combat.
Reality Rewrite: The world does not work around the Asura as it should. Everything that can go wrong, does
go wrong. The monster gains Serendipity 3 (Wishing) and Extraordinary Luck (Wishing), which allows him
to force any roll in his presence to be rerolled twice, with him choosing the result he likes best, once every
thirty minutes of gameplay, and he may have three “lucky” events occur in his favor whenever he wishes,
and in whatever form he wishes.
Athach
An Athach is an extremely hideous giant which is classified as an aberration due to its unusual structure,
which has three functional arms and a poisonous hide. Athach are violent and brutal but not often very
bright and often attack their victims via a wild charge, they can be solitary or live in small tribes of up to 12
individuals and are frighteningly strong: capable of killing an unprotected human in seconds.
Athach often wear primitive armor made from slain farm animals and are a savage race that exist in the wild,
if they can not reach a victim they are also known to throw rocks at them - showing some basic form of
intelligence (despite their otherwise animalistic attributes).

Atomic Lich
In 1973, a secret CIA-sponsored laboratory at a still-classified site began work on Project Umber Regal: an
attempt to create “artificial mages” by administering heavily irradiated alchemical compounds to test subjects.
The test was successful, but the subjects died. All 203 of them. Unfortunately, 15 percent of them – 30 people
– “awakened” within 24 hours, possessing supernatural abilities. Nicknamed “atomic liches” by the project’s
staff, the survivors resembled zombies, but retained their intelligence, free will and memory – including an
awareness of what had been done to them. They also had a high degree of magical aptitude. The staff didn’t
regard this as a problem, since none of the liches knew magic, but they didn’t reckon with the liches’ innate
abilities. The atomic liches organized an escape attempt, killed the scientific staff, fled the facility and
scattered across the country. The ensuing CIA hunt was hampered by the need to preserve the program’s
secrecy, and succeeded in eliminating only 10 of the escaped subjects. Over the last 25 years, the destruction
of seven more liches has been confirmed, but the rest remain at large. The most infamous is Elrond Carver,
the so-called “Dark Lord of Chicago,” who controls Mafia operations across the Midwest.
An atomic lich looks like a fire-charred skeleton that glows in the dark. It is terribly radioactive, emitting
alpha particles that deliver 4000 rad/second to anyone in close proximity (2 yards).

(Fright Check -2) The eyes follow the PCs and eventually what appears to be a huge black serpent-like thing

Swalloving Void: the monster casts everything into complete and total darkness. An area up to 32 yards in
radius plummets into complete (-10) darkness. It may move this area about, shifting the shape of the shadow
radius, or even casting it far away from it. The borders of the area aren't clear, representing vague twilight
areas that trick a person into walking deeper into the shadowy mist.
Azer
The Azer are what is left of a captured race from long ago from which the Dwarves now are descended from.
Corrupted by dark power their fire giant masters twisted them, warping them with raw elemental power
turning them into the firey dwarf people they now are.
Not all Azer are still captured however, and those who have escaped their masters often travel the astral sea
in search of gold stone so that they can build their own homes. Many wander the material plane in search of
such a belonging and their blacksmithing abilities are often welcomed in Dwarven forges providing them
with somewhere to live.

Balor
The greatest and most terrible of the true tanar’ri, the balors are the undisputed terrors of the Abyss. They are
the very motivation behind the tanar’ri involvement in the Blood War. In every sense of the word, balors are
the quintessential tanar’ri. They derive great pleasure from the suffering of others and go out of their way to
torment lesser beings and cause them pain.
Balors are repulsive and loathsome to behold. They are towering humanoids with burning, dark red skin.
They have huge wings that propel them with unnatural speed and agility. They have long, wicked claws and
grotesque fangs that drip with venom. Balors are commonly surrounded by searing flames.

Infernal Horns (20): 11d+1 burn/imp, in charge
Terror (Will-3)
Doom: three times per day, the monster may cast a Malediction upon one of his foes. It takes a concentration
action and a Will roll, subtracting the distance between the target and the Balor in yards as a penalty. The
target must win a quick contest against the monster's roll with the lower of his HT-3 or his Will-3. Failure
minute. If at the end of that minute, the Balor who inflicted the curse is still alive, the character dies.
Flaying Touch: the Balor rends skin and sends fire coursing along nerves in this devastating attack. Ideal for
weakening a strong foe. Inflict 3d Impaling damage, and the target must roll HT (with a penalty equal to the
damage inflicted) or suffer Terrible Pain (-6) for the remainder of the battle.
Typhon's Grasp: the Balor can control the weather, summoning a vast and terrible storm that covers an area
of up to 1000 yards in radius (over a mile wide). It concentrates and then makes an IQ roll. If successful, it
summons the storm. Every turn, the monster my direct the winds and rain to offer a +2 or a -2 to anyone (for
example, impeding vision or ranged attack rolls) it wishes. Furthermore, every turn it gets a two free attacks,
in addition to his normal actions. The first is a lightning blast (3d(2) burning) and the second is a sweeping
wind (3d force that causes x2 knockback and no wounding). The powerful storm threatens to escape the
monster's grasp, though, and anytime something unusual or surprising happens, the Balor must roll Will or
temporarily lose control of the storm.
Madness: the Balor utters a dark word as an attack action, and everyone within 8 yards must make a Will Roll
-4 to resist. For every yard between themselves and the monster, add +1 to their roll as the distance between
them keeps them safe. Furthermore, only those who hear are affected. Those who fail gain Berserk
disadvantage
Dark Reincarnation: upon dying, the Balor instantly regenerates to full health and manifests a new, even
more powerful form. This new form has +5 ST, +1 DX, +1 SM, and gains 150 points worth of templates (1 epic
Template, a greater template and a standard template or three standard templates). The monster only does
this once per battle. If the players slay the Dark Reincarnation form, the monster truly dies.
Basilisko
A Basilisko looks like a giant, eight-legged brown lizard. The creatures aren't very intelligent. Their eyes glow
a pale green, and they grow to around six feet long (excluding the tail).
Basiliskos usually live in deserts, in small colonies of 3-6, though they are sometimes encountered singly.
However, they can be found in any climate. Their lairs are little more than shallow caves or burrows in the
ground, usually marked by victims of their petrifying gaze. It is possible to raise one as a guard animal,
provided one has the wherewithal to do so.

Behemoth
A behemoth is a vast bipedal devil with a bulging, round belly and the head of a grimacing elephant. It is a
jovial, simple creature, content to gorge itself on damned souls until it is time to fight, at which point it
literally wades into the fray and stamps on smaller creatures than itself. Behemoths are notorious bullies and
especially like to victimise creatures that are much smaller than them, grappling them with their trunks and
then flinging them against hard surfaces.
Behemoths are used as the watchmen of Hell and are stationed by the main gateways to the Infernum. They
are valued for their musical ability as much as for their fighting prowess and often entertain massed hordes of
devils at banquets with their trumpeting, leading a group of herald devil minstrels.
A behemoth’s natural weapons and any weapons that it wields count as evil-aligned and lawful-aligned for
the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.

Beholder
This is a big floating eyeball with magical attacks and a bad attitude. It has ten eye stalks coming out of the
top its skull/body, each one having a different magical ray. Its attitude causes it to react to other Beholders at
-7 and to everyone else at -10; other creatures react to them at -7. As such, they are usually encountered
alone, or with charmed minions. They are mad and hate anyone other than themselves, including other
Beholders, but often have charmed minions around for flattery. They live in underground caves, occasionally
not far from other Beholders in a city but not actually with them, eat any organic material, and sleep
whenever it suits them. Each eye stalk has an attack that takes five seconds of recharge.

Betweener
Betweeners are giant creatures that float in orbit, between thè Earth's atmosphere and outer space. They are
made of a delicate, crystal-like substance. Their outer shell is a multifaceted, intricate shape. Thè inside is
equally complex, with wide tunnels, large cavities and areas of densely-packed crystal. Thè betweener has
total control of its body - thè crystal can flow, reshape itself, and transform into articulated limbs. When
approached in space, thè betweener has a sparkling, spectral glow, a combination of transparent glass against
thè blackness of space and beams of starlight against its billions of facets.
Betweeners are supernatural. They have an understanding of magic, spells, psionics and occult phenomena far
beyond thè simple perceptions of man. They can sense all thè thoughts, supernatural qualities, physiological
qualities and locations of any creature or object within ten miles. Betweeners are very territorial; anyone
approaching a betweener (whether he knows it or not) will find thè creature ready when he arrives.
A betweener can move to any point above thè Earth at a speed just over 500 miles per hour. (This speed is
measured from orbit point to orbit point, not by points on thè Earth's surface.) It can also alter its appearance
to fade into thè darkness of space: by making its crystalline flesh non-reflective, it becomes invisible. It can
avoid satellites or move them, and absorb or scramble satellite transmissions. Any "secret" satellites placed by
humans will be known to a betweener.
Betweeners do not eat, breathe, sleep, or have relationships. In comparison to humans, they do not even
think. Thè only way to explain their intellectual and physiological qualities is to use occult and religious
terminology - they can be understood as demonic forces or higher powers, but not as animals.
It is not known how betweeners are created, where they come from, or what they want. It seems that they
need thè vacuum of space to survive. Their orbital habitat keeps them isolated from thè limitless genetic
material of Earth, thus saving mankind from total domination (if that is what thè betweeners want). There
may be only one betweener orbiting Earth at any given moment, or as many as a hundred.
Thè betweener mind exists universally in every molecole of its form. If a piece is removed, thè betweener can
render it "dead," causing it to disintegrate. Attackers will not find a brain or other weak spot in a betweener.
Betweeners are vulnerable to one thing: gravity. Any gravitational force other than thè attraction of thè
planet will cause thè betweener's body to disintegrate. Thè betweener may survive, however; it is possible
that its consciousness will drift until it can form a new body. Any gravitational force created by magic has a
dramatic effect on betweeners - it suspends them, forcing them into a coma-like state. If a betweener detects
thè presence of a magic-using being, it will try to sense whether or not thè invader has such a power.
Betweeners absorb genetic information from any living creature they can capture. Any betweener could have
captured an alien, an astronaut, or a subhuman life form attached to orbiting debris (including germs).
Betweeners snare thè captured specimen in glass tentacles and slice it to pieces. Thè genetic information is
absorbed by thè crystal and stored in thè betweener's consciousness. Thè captured flesh is held suspended for
later use. When thè betweener has collected enough of this raw material, it will build a synthetic life form
called a scion. This can have any or all of thè qualities of thè betweener's captured specimens. Thus, a
betweener that has captured an alien, a Russian cosmonaut and thè fungus from thè cosmonaut's feet could
create a being with thè alien's features, a human intelligence and a fungus-like physiology.
Its various mental and physical qualities can be striking or subtle. Betweeners generally prefer to create scions
with inconspicuous appearances complemented by many hidden, inhuman abilities. They also invariably
have weaknesses, an unfortunate byproduct of synthesizing diverse gene patterns. A scion may have anything
from night blindness to useless limbs, from an allergy to a split personality. Scions reach Earth through
special powers designed by thè betweener - in addition to other abilities, they are able to travel from thè
betweener to thè Earth's surface, through teleportation, transport in self-generated cocoons, selfpropelled
flight, etc. Some can return to thè betweener, though this is very rare.
Depending on thè amount of genetic information and raw material available, a betweener can potentially
create any conceivable creature. A scion can have any level of intelligence, from that of an insect to that of a
genius human. It can be created with psionic powers, thè ability to cast spells and other supernatural abilities.
Most can communicate with their betweener creator by supernatural means. They cannot send more genetic
information from thè planet (thè betweener needs thè actual flesh for that) but they can serve as thè
betweener's eyes and ears. Some scions are subservient to their creators. They may be aware of this, or may
be ignorant of their origins. It is very possible that one or more species on Earth were created by a betweener.
It is unknown how many scions have been created by betweeners or how well they have survived. Their only
real limitation comes from thè amount of raw material available - due to their isolation in space, each
betweener has, at best, a one-in-a-million chance of finding and capturing enough flesh to build more than
one scion every thousand years.
Interestingly, thè outer shape of a betweener often resembles its scions. For example, a betweener that has
created two human-like scions might look like a giant abstract glass sculpture of Siamese twins. A betweener
that has created scions resembling houseflies (as in thè adventure seed following) would vaguely resemble a
monstrous glass fly. A betweener that has never created a scion is an eerie, formless mass.
If an intelligent creature is captured, it may retain part of its consciousness. It becomes a disembodied id,
waiting in thè betweener for a scion shell. Roll against thè IQ of thè captured creature, thè source of thè id. If
thè roll is a critical success, thè id stays intact and functional; it can (incredibly) insert itself into a new scion
at will. It cannot communicate with thè betweener. It may not even have full control of thè scion body. But
its choice is final; it cannot return to thè betweener unless thè betweener wants it back. This fully-aware id
may go slightly mad if it rests too long in thè betweener. If thè roll is a normal success, thè id lies dormant
and suspended. It will be placed, fully intact, in a scion chosen by thè betweener. It will have additional
personality features designed by thè betweener. Thè id will not remember any of its time in suspension.
If thè roll fails, thè id is fragmented and lost. Parts of it may be detected through sophisticated and powerful
telepathic or magical searches in subsequent scions. On a critical failure, thè id fragments are undetectable.
Someone who comes in contact with a betweener may find a way inside. Betweeners do not have
recognizable halls or rooms, but they may shift their "innards" to form accommodating cavities. Betweeners
do not have an atmosphere inside; thè invader must provide his own protection from thè vacuum. He may
find suspended raw materials for future scions: lumps of blood and tissue contained in geometric crystalline
tubes and jars.
Thè betweener will take measures to trap thè explorer once he is inside. It will, of course, allow him to look
around for a while. Thè person may learn some of thè secrets of thè betweener before he is shredded and his
flesh is preserved. There is a slight chance that a captive's id will survive (see above).
An invader will break a lot of "glass." Thè betweener's crystal flesh is paper-thin in many places. As thè
invader touches "walls" or walks on "floors," he will occasionally discharge a cloud of shimmering, razorsharp
fragments. This does not hurt thè betweener - thè shards that float against unbroken crystal will be
reabsorbed instantly. But thè pieces could cut a space suit open.
Betweeners are gods ... or close to it. They can be part of a pantheon of Things Man Was Not Meant To
Know. Betweeners also help bring horror adventures into a new and fertile setting: space. Thè presence of
betweeners can explain a multitude of supernatural phenomena, especially thè origins of supernatural
creatures. For example, vampires might be a race of scions. Do they serve a betweener, or are they a creation
that has gained independence from its creator?
Betweeners can also be used to explain a lot of weirdness in thè world, especially thè UFO conspiracy. They
act as a sort of barrier between Earth and everything out there - they capture and dissect incoming aliens as
well as astronauts. In an ongoing campaign, focus on thè scions first. Thè meeting with thè betweener can
serve as a climax to thè adventure.

Black Widow
These strange creatures have the head and torso of a Dark One and the legs and lower body of a giant spider.
Black Widows are created by the Dark One's dark goddess. When a Dark One of above-average ability
reaches very much power, the goddess may put him or her through a special test. Failures become Black
Widow. Black Widows are able to cast many "Light and Darkness" spellsand they also retain any magical or
clerical skills they had before transformation. A majority of Black Widows (60%) were priests of high level
before they were changed, all other driders were mages of very high level.
Black Widows often use swords or axes, though many carry bows. Because they have failed their goddess’s
test, Black Widows are outcasts from their own communities. They are violent, aggressive creatures that
favor blood over all types of food. They stalk their victims tirelessly, waiting for the right chance to strike.

Broadsword (25): 3d+2 cut, reach 1; 2d imp, reach 1
Blindwraith
The Blindwraith is a skeletal undead creature that magically radiates complete darkness within ten yards.
This darkness cannot normally be dispelled by any means short of defeating the Blindwraith. The
Blindwraith cannot see in the dark, but it has excellent hearing and can locate its prey by heartbeat alone.
The Blindwraith seeks to strangle the living by cutting off their air supply. Throat armor does not protect; the
Blindwraith's bony fingers will magically pass right through. The Blindwraith will not resort to crushing it's
victim's throat in order to make a quicker kill. Some say that Blindwarith's arise from those who die blinded,
lost and murderously angry. Their rotting clothing often suggests that they were adventurers in life.

Blink: The Blindwraith vanishes from one point and arrives at another in an instant. The creature may use
Warp to a distance of up to 10 yards up to 3 times a day. He gains +6 to his roll, but for practical purposes, he
should spend 1 turn concentrating, and then assume a success.
Blood Beast
There are a number of beasts that recur again and again in the bestiaries of sages and the cautionary tales of
nursemaids; their powers become more and more exaggerated through the years. Some creatures, however,
turn out to be just as black as they have been painted: one such is the Bloodbeast.
The origins and distribution of the Bloodbeast are obscure. Certain physical features, such as its tongue, and
skin texture and mutability, as well as its semi-aquatic lifestyle, suggest an amphibian heritage, although it is
quite clearly a monster now. It may be related to similarly hideous amphibious beasts such as the Chaos Slime
Beast and the Pool Crawler. Its closest relative is likely the Pool Beast.
Also, despite being a denizen of dungeons, it would appear rare. Complicating this is another quote suggesting
the Bloodbeast is actually a sewer-dweller.
This monstrosity is large, at least ten metres tall, and so bloated it can never leave the pool of foul blood-like
slime that has supported its bulk since it was spawned. Its hide is tough and leathery, protected by thin spines
and coloured the disgusting crimson of a creature that has never seen the sun. Its head appears to consist of a
catlike features above an enormous toothy maw, that also contains a long slimy pink prehensile tongue. The
Bloodbeast's one major weakness has always been its eyes. Anyone taking on the creature will need a lucky
strike to hit its eyes and pierce its brain. Attempting such a blow, however, means avoiding the thing's
tongue.
Unless its opponent can slash off the tongue with a dagger, they will be dragged into the pool, where the
powerful acidic slime will quickly decompose their body, until it is ready to be eaten.
Finally the Bloodbeast's pool of acidic slime gave off a toxic gas that required a successful HT roll to avoid.
Those unfortunates who fail the roll are defeated by the fumes and faint, to be dragged by the creature's
tongue into the pool to their doom. This is a normal feature of a Bloodbeast's lair.

Swallowing (11): if the Blood Beast successfully bites a enemy with a SM of 4 or less, it can recline the head
and swallow its victims. Then, the unlucky person takes 5d of corrosive damage any second.
Tongue (18): the tongue of the Blood Beast is very sticky: it binds an enemy as just as it had ST 30. Then, it
drags the victim near the Blood Beast's jaws. It's 40 yards long
Toxic Gas (HT): see above
Bugbear
Bugbears prefer to ambush opponents whenever possible. When hunting, they normally send scouts ahead of
the main group that, if they spy prey, return to report and bring up reinforcements. Bugbear attacks are
coordinated, and their tactics are sound if not brilliant.

Bulette
Aptly called a landshark, the bulette (pronounced Boo-lay) is a terrifymg predator that lives only to eat. The
bulette is universally shunned, even by other monsters. It is rumored that the bulette is a cross between an
armadillo and a snapping turtle, but this is only conjecture. The bulette’s head and hind portions are
bluebrown, and they are covered with plates and scales ranging from gray-blue to blue-green. Nails and teeth
are dull ivory. The area around the eyes is brownblack, the eyes are yellowish and the pupils are blue green.
A bulette will attack anything it regards as edible. The bulette is always hungry, and is constantly roaming its
territory in search of food. When burrowing underground, the landshark relies on vibrations to detect prey.
When it senses something edible (i.e., senses movement), the bulette breaks to the surface crest first and
begin its attack. The landshark has a temperament akin to the wolverine-stupid, mean, and fearless.
The strength and numbers of its opponents mean nothing. The bulette always attacks.

Byakhee
A byakhee is a winged "thing" standing over seven feet in height. It is often described as bat-like. The
byakhee has two legs, two clawed arms and a broad set of bat-like wings. It is dark in color and covered in
fur. Byakhee exist to serve Hastur, although they can be summoned by mortal wizards and pressed into
service. In general, they seem to ignore humanity, unless told to do otherwise. They can fly in interstellar
space, and can carry passengers with them, although the passenger must fend for themselves during the trip.

Catoblepas
The catoblepas is a bizarre, loathsome creature that inhabits dismal swamps and marshes. Its most terrifying
features are its large bloodshot eyes, from which emanate a deadly ray. The body of the catoblepas is like that
of a large, bloated buffalo, and its legs are stumpy, like those of a pygmy elephant or a hippopotamus. Its long,
snaky tail is swift and strong, and can move with blinding speed. The head of the catoblepas is perched upon
a long, weak neck, and would be much like that of a warthog except that the catoblepas is uglier

Centipede-Zombie
The Centipede-Zombie is a hideous experiment of some wizard or mad scientist. It can attack 4 times at a

Skills: Brawling 17; Wrestling 17

Corrupting Touch: The Zombie imparts a lethal disease that slowly dissolves the target. Ideal for scaring
players after the fight is finished, and forcing them to come up with solutions. Inflict 4d toxic damage and the
target must make a HT roll or suffer an immediate Follow Up of 2d toxic damage, that also cycles every
minute for the next ten minutes. Cure Disease will purge the victim of the taint that besets him.
Blink: The Zombie vanishes from one point and arrives at another in an instant. The creature may use Warp
to a distance of up to 10 yards up to 3 times a day. He gains +6 to his roll, but for practical purposes, he should
spend 1 turn concentrating, and then assume a success.
Cerberus
Cerberus is a mythical 3-headed hound said to guard the gates of Hades in Greco-Roman literature and
mythology, never allowing the escape of a person who has already crossed the River Styx. Cerberus was
generally believed to be siblings with the Chimaera, Lernaean Hydra, Sphinx, and Nemean Lion; and the
child of Echidna and Typhon. One of the Labors of Hercules was to capture Cerberus, and Hercules was able
to not only overpower the dog without weapons, but also used it as leverage with King Eurystheus to end the
Labors. When Orpheus went to the underworld to retrieve his wife he is said to have put him to sleep by
playing music on his lyre.

Swallow (13): with a succesful bite against a creature of SM +3 or less, the Cerberus swallow its prey. The
gastric juices, then, inflict 5d of damage any second.
Snake Venom (17): the tail of this creature is a hideous snake. It can pierce up to DR 5. The bite itself don't
deliver any damage, but it inject a paralysing venom (HT -4)
Vampiric Aura: Everyone within a 2 yard radius of the Cerberus loses 1 HP per turn, which increases the
Brutes HP by a similar amount
Total Regeneration: The monster heals as quickly as its opponents damage it. Every turn, the monster heals
10 HP (remember the rules for high HP and healing: So a 50 HP monster heals 50 HP per turn). Furthermore,
the monster has +10 HP, and either a vulnerability from the Silver (damage x 4)
Champion of Evil
When a Demon Lord wants to be sure of the next death of its enemy, it sends a Champion of Evil. Aside its

Skull-Spirit Attack (17): the Champion summons 8 Skull-Spirits (see M150) that attack its enemies by causing
each 2 points of toxic damage per second.
Burning Touch: The Champion ignites his target in a fiery attack. Ideal for sheer damage. Inflict 3d Burning
Thorny Blast: The Champion snipes his foes with poisoned darts. The attack has Acc 3 1/2D 10, Max 100, RoF
1. On a hit, inflict 3d Impaling damage and the target makes a HT roll with a penalty equal to the damage
dealt. Failure Stuns the target and inflicts 1d toxic damage for the next 3 seconds.
Greater Armor: The Champion of Evil is sheathed in powerful Force Field. It prevents him from wearing any
additional armor, but grants a DR of 20.
Path Breaking: The monster reaches out and shatters the tenuous ties of space that bind reality together,
leaving a wild, shifting mess of strange pathways and weird, spatial distortions. The Champion concentrates
and then makes an IQ roll. If successful, he breaks space and may redirect space for the next minute. He may
grant a +5 or -5 to any move action or to ranged attacks (as things turn out to be closer or farther than one
expected) by concentrating for a turn. Furthermore, broken space doesn't “work” properly. The GM should
decide the new ways players might navigate (doors lead to new rooms, the way to get up the stairs is to go
down, etc) to get around the room. If the GM is using tactical combat, consider "shuffling" some of the
miniatures around, or changing maps, to represent the rewritten paths of space.
Chaos Beast
Foul and terrible, the chaos beast has no set form. It constantly melts and reforms, apparently drawing each
shape from every nightmare that has ever plagued humankind. It chaotically shifts through a dozen forms
before shaping itself into a bulbous thing with ten eyes swimming in a viscous sac at the top of a body that's
surrounded by a ring of smacking mouths. A chaos beast's dimensions vary, but it always weighs about 200
pounds.
Being evil through and through chaos beasts will attempt to sneak up on unsuspecting prey and gleefully
attack to watch it's victims writhe in agony as they slowly die, unable to control their own shape or mind.
The horrific creatures known as chaos beasts have mutable, ever-changing forms. Their deadly touch can
make opponents melt into formless goo. There is no telling what a chaos beast will look like. One moment it
might be a towering horror of hooks and fangs, all pulpy flesh and exposed veins, and the next a slithering
mass of ropy, vermilion-tipped tentacles. Then it becomes a mighty creature, all muscle and fury.
Chaos beasts find their way into our world through a variety of means. Some have come through rifts torn in
the fabric of reality by powerful evil magic, others may have been summoned by those seeking power from
the Far Realms, still others are said to be mages or clerics that have offended some Elder Evil and now exist as
a chaos beast as a form of eternal punishment.

and misshapen feet reduces Move by 75%. Searing pain along the nerves causes the victim to act
incoherently. The victim cannot cast spells or use magic items and it attacks blindly, unable to distinguish
friend from foe at -2 to attack rolls and 50% to miss any attack. Each second spent in amorphous form reduces
IQ by 1. If IQ is reduced to 0, the victim becomes a Chaos Beast. Each second, the victim can try to regain its
own shape by succeeding a Will-2 roll. A successful roll regains the victim’s shape for one minute. On a
failure, the victim can retry every turn. Corporeal instability is not a disease or curse and is hard to remove.
Only a Great Healing will remove the affliction. As for the lost IQ points, a Restore Memory will recover
them all.
Chimera
The Chimera (also Chimaera or Chimæra) was, according to Greek mythology, a monstrous fire-breathing
female creature of Lycia in Asia Minor, composed of the parts of multiple animals: upon the body of a lioness
with a tail that ended in a snake's head, the head of a goat arose on her back at the center of her spine. The
Chimera was one of the offspring of Typhon and Echidna and a sibling of such monsters as Cerberus and the
Lernaean Hydra. The term chimera has also come to describe any mythical or fictional animal with parts
taken from various animals. It can attack with the bite or a claw, and the fire-breath, at a time.

Chuul
A horrible mix of crustacean, insect, and serpent, the chuul is an abomination that lurks submerged or
partially submerged, awaiting intelligent prey to devour. Although amphibious, chuuls are not good
swimmers and actually prefer to be on land or in very shallow water when they attack. A chuul is about 8
feet long and weighs 650 pounds.
A chuul prefers to wait by the shore, submerged in murky water, until it hears nearby prey (in or out of the
water) that it can attack with surprise. A chuul grabs with its claws and constricts its foe, then passes the
opponent to its paralytic tentacles. It tries to always have one claw free, so if it faces a large number of
opponents, it drops a paralyzed or dead victim and continues attempting to grab, constrict, and paralyze the
rest.

equal or lower than the Chuul’s SM. After grappling a victim, the Chuul can then transfer a victim from its
pincer to its tentacles as a Ready maneuver. The tentacles grapple with the same ST but can’t constrict. Each
second the victim must try to resist the paralytic secretion of the tentacles (see above) while getting bitten
automatically for 3d+2 pi+ damage.

Corpse-Kisser
A corpse-kisser is a dead human filled with corpsebugs (occasionally called "taxidermites"). These are black
centipede-like insects that invade corpses, reproducing rapidly as they eat thè organs and bones inside.
Leaving only thè husk of outer flesh, they continue to multiply until they form a tightly-packed mass. They
secrete a fluid that preserves thè flesh of thè husk. Thè fluid also binds them together, allowing them to
imitate muscles as they twitch and shift in a complex series of movements. Corpse-bugs share a single
consciousness, a hive mind of mutual instincts and collective decisions. While one corpse-bug has thè
intelligence of an ant, a mass inside a corpse has thè IQ of a normal human, occasionally higher.
A corpse-kisser appears to be a normal, living being. As long as a corpse-kisser wears sunglasses (or squints its
eyes) and never opens its mouth, it can blend in with society. Corpse-kissers cannot talk, smell, or taste. They
can, however, learn how to behave by observing humans. This includes gesturing, shaking hands, walking,
running, using simple tools and weapons, and pretending to sleep.
Corpse-kissers can see - dozens of corpse-bugs peer from thè eye sockets, communicating visual information
to thè hive mind. Each corpse-kisser also develops some unique mannerisms such as a distinct walk (a slight
limp), habitual gestures (scratching behind thè ear), length of sleeping periods (midnight to dawn), etc.
Extreme heat is very painful to corpse-kissers, causing thè corpse-bugs to immediately evacuate thè husk. A
burning corpse-kisser will shudder and then vomit a thick, continuous stream of squirming black bugs. Thè
husk collapses and thè corpse-bugs scatter.
Occasionally, a corpse-bug will fall out of a corpse-kisser's mouth. Conventional injury (bullets, blades, etc.).
Will spill a few from thè inflicted gashes and holes. A firm shake or solid punch will cause corpse-bugs to fall
out of thè ears and nostrils. Those outside a husk die. Thè fluid that holds them together and preserves thè
husk's skin dries quickly - in five minutes, thè fluid is gone and thè corpse-bug is reduced to a pile of black
ash.
Static stimulates corpse-bugs to secrete their precious fluid. They thrive on thè sound of radios tuned
between stations and televisions showing "snow." After a day without static, corpse-kissers lose one hit point
every two hours.
A simple IQ or Empathy roll will detect that something is wrong with a corpse-kisser. Once someone is
aware of thè bugs, thè same roll will unmask thè creature ... if thè person looks.
All corpse-kissers want to do is create more corpse-kissers and occasionally listen to static. They do not
naturally cooperate with each other, and they do not want to take over thè world. They will eagerly infest
any fresh corpse they encounter (or create).
A corpse-kisser places its mouth next to thè mouth of a corpse, or any open wounds. Hundreds of bugs enter
thè corpse and begin breeding. Within 1d days, thè corpse rises as a new necrophile. However, thè corpse
must be fresh; a body more than a day old won't do, except as food. This means that corpse-kissers will hover
near thè dying, awaiting their chance. Occasionally, an eager necrophile may try to hurry thè process if there
are no witnesses, "kissing" someone who isn't quite dead. If someone is down to negative HT, he must make a
HT-3 roll to survive thè foul kiss and spew of crawling bugs ... and, if he lives, an immediate Fright Check at
-10.
Very rarely corpse-bugs infest non-human bodies, but they prefer humans. Any body must weigh at least 50
pounds to be worth infesting. If a colony in an animal body can find a human corpse, thè whole colony will
transfer to thè corpse, leaving thè dried-out animal husk behind.
If a necrophile is destroyed, thousands of bugs will scatter. Normally they all die, but if there are fresh corpses
nearby, roll 3 dice for thè maximum amount that can be infested by thè refugees. Thè bugs are not intelligent
and will try to enter any human, by any orifice. Thè ones that enter live humans will die, unless thè human is
at negative HT, but Fright Checks from thè target at -5 are required!
An autopsy of an infested corpse that has not yet risen will reveal bugs, but (unless thè examiner has previous
experience with them) a Diagnostics+2 roll is required to know these are not just some kind of maggot. Since
thè bugs disintegrate outside thè host, examination is difficult. Anyone dissecting or examining a "live"
necrophile will immediately know something is wrong, and will certainly have to make at least one Fright
Check when thè bugs appear. Entomophobes will probably be reduced to gibbering horror, especially as thè
bugs try to crawl in ... Corpse-kissers eat about thè equivalent of one human meal a day, of any trash or
carrion that will feed thè corpsebugs...
If thè corpse-kisser stays inconspicuous and avoids conversations, it can survive among humans for years.
They are not capable of elaborate ruses, and always assume roles that combine minimum interaction with
maximum proliferation: they pretend to be people who are everywhere, but never need to converse. This
includes thè homeless, thè retarded, thè transient, thè elderly, thè very young, thè mute and thè deaf.
Corpse-kissers are ruthless and deadly if provoked. If a corpse-kisser is backed into a corner, attacked with
fire, or nearly dead from lack of static, it will go Berserk. They also have Bad Tempers and a Mild Phobia of
fire. Because they do not have an agenda of their own, they can be controlled by a suitably powerful and
intelligent being - a mad scientist, for example, might devise a way to lead them, building a corpse-kisser
army for his own ends.
Corpse-kissers can be a new brand of zombie, docile cannon-fodder for a greater power, a secret sect of
humanity, or (if encountered on an individual basis) creeping horrors in thè guise of normal humans. Use thè
special types of humans who become corpse-kissers as a starting point for adventures - think about where
these types of people are found, and what they do when encountered.

Cyclop
This horror is a muscular giant, 30 feet tall, that inhabits lonely islands. It attacks with tree-trunks, or
barehanded.
A cyclops, in Greek mythology and later Roman mythology, was a member of a primordial race of giants,
each with a single eye in the middle of his forehead. The name is widely thought to mean "circle-eyed".
Hesiod described one group of cyclopes and the epic poet Homer described another, though other accounts
have also been written by the playwright Euripides, poet Theocritus and Roman epic poet Virgil. In Hesiod's
Theogony, Zeus releases three Cyclopes, the sons of Uranus and Gaia, from the dark pit of Tartarus. They
provide Zeus' thunderbolt, Hades' helmet of invisibility, and Poseidon's trident, and the gods use these
weapons to defeat the Titans. In a famous episode of Homer's Odyssey, the hero Odysseus encounters the
Cyclops Polyphemus, the son of Poseidon and Thoosa (a nereid), who lives with his fellow Cyclopes in a
distant country. The connection between the two groups has been debated in antiquity and by modern
scholars. It is upon Homer's account that Euripides and Virgil based their accounts of the mythical creatures.

Dark One
Dark ones claim to be distant cousins of elves, but it’s whispered that they’re really Elder Things that
transformed themselves to resemble humans so long ago that they’ve forgotten their ancestry. Whatever the
truth, they resemble humans . . . except for creepy pupils with vertical slits, greenish skin, an unhealthy
familiarity with all things occult, and occasional bouts of bloody murder.

Defiler
Defilers are former humans who ruin everything thè touch. Any object that contacts their skin will become
dirty, rusted, spoiled, greasy, withered or flawed. The change takes from one to 30 minutes. It seems to occur
naturally - anyone watching thè process will have trouble remembering thè old appearance.
Sacred objects suffer thè same fate but they are damaged as well. Thè damage depends on thè length of time,
thè defiler touches it. "Sacred" is not limited to religious items. It also includes heirlooms, treasured baubles,
wedding gowns, tombstones and any object whose destruction will cause trauma in someone. Ten seconds of
contact will render a diary illegible or crack a crematory urn. In 30 seconds stained glass windows will shatter
or a handprint will be burned into a priceless portrait. One minute with a defiler will cause a tombstone to
crumble. Thè creatures themselves are as filthy as humanly possible. Their fingernails are long and encrusted
with germ- filled soil. Their maggot-ridden clothes and hair are matted down with layers of greasy dirt. Their
skin is covered with rashes, scabs and sores. Their teeth are rotten, black shards. Defilers can be mistaken for
bums or homeless people in thè largest cities. In other places, they are too filthy to be mistaken for anything
human.
Occultists and others with supernatural experience might assume that defilers are zombies. Thè faces of
defilers prove this is false. Their facial expressions are hauntingly natural but wicked. One glance reveals that
they are cunning and fully aware, too intelligent to be mere zombies.
Defilers are joined by a single consciousness, a mindshare. Defilers share each other's knowledge
instantaneously. They act as individuals and think their own thoughts, but they hear thè thoughts of thè
others in their heads. This effectively gives them a clairvoyant link. Thè range of this link is limited to one
mile.
Their mindshare causes them to act in perfectly coordinated groups. They never use weapons, but they are
formidable foes nonetheless. They will push opponents into an ambush of other defilers nearby, silently send
for reinforcements while others continue to fight, and convey information about enemy armaments and
weaknesses instantly. Clawing attacks (thè most common) will infect a victim on a failed HT roll. If thè
victim is bitten, thè roll is made at HT-2.
They live in all places but congregate under ground. A rare few will inhabit thè dwellings they owned as
humans. These places invariably degenerate into what appear to be garbage heaps with roofs. Thè rest live
like moles. Defilers can find and navigate subterranean passages as if they were raised in them. They can dig
through junk heaps and soft earth like vermin. Their subterranean passages always lead to a few linked rooms
where they can meet, sleep and store supplies.
They are most active on nights of thè new moon. Many save their appetites for this time. They hunt small
animals, devour thè occasional human, and consume discarded food.
Defilers are inactive during thè full moon for a special reason. If they stare at a glowing circle, they become
mesmerized. This is a mental stun, requiring a successful IQ roll to recover. They lose their link to thè shared
mind as well. It comes back after snapping out of thè stun and ten seconds of concentration.
Enemies can keep defilers confused by using flashlights and then distracting thè creatures to prevent thè
mindshare link. Without its mindshare, it will panic and try to hide. If thè mindshare is not reestablished
within ten minutes, it is severed permanently. A defiler in this situation may begin to remember its former
life ...
Defilers create more defilers through a strange ritual. They surround a victim and cover him with filth. He is
beaten and infected, then chased or taken into one of thè lightless subterranean lairs. Thè defilers then chant
for hours. At this time, thè chanting, thè darkness and thè fear open an invisible node to thè shared mind. If
thè victim senses it and makes mental contact, he joins thè ranks of thè defilers. He can resist with a
successful Fright Check (at -5 or more, rolled every minute). If he neither escapes nor joins within (HT-2)
minutes, he dies of fright. If he joins thè ranks of defilers, his features transform slightly, making him barely
recognizable. He forgets his name (something he has no need for once he has a link to thè shared mind). His
old life will be remembered as a dream.
Defilers are smart zombies. Use their mindshare when they encounter adventurers by setting up
fullycoordinated ambushes and tactics. Defilers are not always violent and may let thè PCs roam their
subterranean lairs unmolested. Of course, if thè new moon rises or thè group abuses this tenuous privilege,
thè defilers will attack.
Feel free to devise special settings and terrain types for defiler encounters. Cities are thè obvious place to find
them. Try other places such as Arctic zones, mountains, coastlines and industrial complexes.

Demi-God of War
These creatures are invincible warriors that strike terror into their enemies with a awesome battle cry. They
are very skilful with any muscle-powered weapon and can deal powerful blow by focusing. They are
indomitable and invulnerable fighters. These creatures have only one weakness: the part of the body placed
under the armpits.
The Demi-God are former human warriors, turned into a perfect war machine through an immersion into a
powerful, magical liquid that assures their invulnerability. The above-mentioned vulnerable part is caused by
the stripes used for the immersion.

Net, Large (23): this creature use a net that is a thrown entangling weapon. The target may dodge or parry it.
If he successfully parries with a cutting weapon, he damages the net; treat the net as a diffuse object with DR
1 and normal HP for its weight. If the target fails to defend, he is entangled, and cannot move or attack until
freed. To escape, the victim requires at least one free hand, and must make three successful DX-4 rolls. Each
attempt counts as a Ready maneuver, during which time the victim may take no other actions. If the victim
fails three consecutive rolls, he becomes so entangled that he must be cut free.
It is also possible to escape the net by damaging it. The victim can only use attacks with reach “C,” but they
hit automatically. Use the Breaking a Weapon rules (p. 401) – but treat a net as diffuse (see Injury to
Unliving, Homogenous, and Diffuse Targets, p. 380).
Dark Reincarnation: Upon dying, the monster instantly regenerates to full health and manifests a new, even
this once per battle. If the players slay the Dark Reincarnation form, the monster truly dies.

Burning Touch: The Bishop ignites its target in a fiery attack. Ideal for sheer damage. Inflict 3d Burning
Armageddon: Once per battle, the Bishop unleashes a wave of complete and total destruction that completely
powering up a major attack is readily obvious to anyone who glances his direction, because it is surrounded
by an intense aura. When he has finished readying his power, he attacks, unleashing an explosive 20d blast of
burning damage. This strikes everything within a twenty yard radius, though each yard between the target
and the monster reduces the dice of damage by 1. After the smoke clears, the battlefield torn apart and filled
with cracks and gulleys. This should involve a new map in tactical combat, or new movement rules in normal
combat.

Displacer Beast
The displacer beast is a magical creature that resembles a puma with two powerful black tentacles growing
from its shoulders. Very rare, they stay far from human habitations.
The displacer beast has the blue-black coloring of a dark panther, and a long cat-like body and head. Females
range in length from 8 to 9 feet, and weigh 450 pounds; males are 10 to 12 feet long, and weigh up to 500 Lbs.
They have 6 legs. Tentacles are tipped with rough horny edges that can inflict terrible wounds. Their eyes
glow bright green, even after death.
The displacer beast is a fierce, savage creature that hates all forms of life. Highly aggressive, the displacer
beast will attack on sight, using its tentacles.
Their main advantage in combat is their magical power of displacement, which allows them to appear to be
some 3 feet from their actual location.
Displacer beasts will not use their claws or teeth unless near death, or when in combat with a very large
opponent. Displacer beasts are carnivores. Unless they are raising young, they usually run in packs, carving a
savage swath of destruction as they go. They hate all life, and will sometimes kill purely for pleasure. Fierce
and vicious as they are, however, displacer beasts never fight among themselves. The pack is a well-run and
highly efficient killing machine. When encountered in packs, displacer beasts are more than a match for
many large creatures and have been known to make a meal of orcs, goblins, and bands of men. Any creature
entering their territory is viewed as potential prey.
Displacer beasts mate in the autumn, and the young are born in spring. A mated pair of displacer beasts
makes its home in a cave, producing litters of 1-4 young. The cubs, about the size of domestic cats, are born
without tentacles and reach maturity, though not full size, within 4 months. They remain in the cave until
their displacement abilities are fully developed. This is followed by a two month period during which the
cubs are taught how to hunt. When this is completed, the family group disbands and the monsters wander off
to join separate packs. While raising young, the monsters are fiercely protective of their lairs. One adult
always remains with the cubs, usually the female, while the other goes off to hunt. Dead prey is dragged back
to the lair to be eaten by the family. Lairs are littered with the bones, equipment, and the treasures of its
victims.
Naturally vicious and almost evil at times, displacer beasts harbor an undying hatred of blink dogs. Many
theories attempt to account for this enmity. Some sages believe it springs from antipathy in temperaments --
the lawful good blink dog would naturally be the enemy of a creature as savage and destructive as the
displacer beast. Others argue that it is the displacement and blink abilities which cause this antipathy – the
two abilities, when in close proximity, somehow stimulate the nervous system and produce hostile reactions.
Encounters between the two breeds are rare however, since they do not share the same territory. Displacer
beasts have little to fear from other large predators, save perhaps trolls or giants. Some wizards and alchemists
value their hides for use in certain magical preparations, and will offer generous rewards for them.
The eyes of a displacer beast are a highly prized, if uncommon, good luck charms among thieves who believe
that they will protect the bearer from detection.

Grandfather Clock: The Djinn manipulates time. He may unleash a Malediction upon anyone he wishes by
rolling Will (penalized by distance as normal), which the target resists with IQ (IQ-1 for Decelerate). If the
target fails, the monster may inflict Accelerated Time Rate 1, Decelerated Time Rate 1, or Paralysis on his foe.
It may do this as often as he wishes, but it may only have one such effect active at a time. To start a new
effect, the Djinn must end a previous effect (Thus, a Djinn who has first paralyzed someone and now wishes
to Accelerate someone else must first release the paralyzed target).
Doctor Ics
In the quest for medical knowledge, the Nazis performed horrific experiments on entire villages and whole
populations. The purposes of these experiments are so twisted and utterly evil that Hitler has found only a
handful of soulless doctors willing to engage in them. However, the experiments are viewed as vital to the
existence of the Reich, so Hitler has ordered the SS to track down and draft physicians from the best German
medical institutes and the most promising students from around the country. They are stripped of their
identity and forced to comply with the human experimentation directive titled “Ics.” The project has met
with a stunning 70% mortality rate within the first six months. Those physicians who have not killed
themselves have gone mad with revulsion and selfloathing from the torture and horror they have inflicted on
their subjects.
Due to the astronomical rate of failure and physician suicide, the SS high command has been forced to close
down several research facilities and has sent the doctors back to their cities and villages. There the physicians
continue their experiments in secret, living terrifying double lives. During the day these men masquerade as
family doctors and good citizens, curing the sick and tending to the wounded. They can barely be told apart
from the average Hans or Fritz on the street. At night, in the privacy in their homes they give into their
soulless alter ego of Doctor Ics, experimenting on their living captives and creations.
For the most part, a Doctor Ics is indistinguishable from the general population. However this is only due to
self-restraint. As a doctor’s madness progresses he is less and less sensitive to who and what he experiments
on, including himself. As time goes on, the doctor examines his own body with his array of tools, sometimes
reworking entire systems. This always leaves heavy layers of scar tissue all across his body. The doctor
becomes a grotesque vision of something that was once human, covered in scars and stitches everywhere save
for his face and hands. The doctors become nearly immune to pain and are difficult to take down.
These doctors almost always avoid direct combat. In rare instances a doctor may seek to procure his
experimental subjects though direct assault, but the abundance of battlefield wounded and lack of attention
paid to mental institutions generally makes this unnecessary.
Their victims are typically prostitutes, vagrants, or victims purchased from unseemly individuals willing to
kidnap for a price.
In cases where a doctor is forced into combat, he almost always falls back on medical equipment for a
weapon. In most scenarios a doctor utilizes his composites to do his fighting.

Draconian, Aurak
Derived from the eggs of gold dragons, Auraks are the most powerful and devious of the draconians.
Softspoken and coldblooded, no act of violence is too extreme for an Aurak.
Auraks are seven-foot-tall, sinewy draconians with short tails and golden scales. Small spines grow from the
backs of their heads. They have long, sharp teeth and bulging eyes that are either blood red, green, or black.
Their bodies emit a noxious sulphur odor, detectable from several yards away. They wear few clothes, aside
from the occasional belt or cape. Auraks are the only wingless draconians.

Death Throes: When an Aurak dies, it does not die, but immolates itself with eerie green flames and enters a
fighting frenzy (As the Berserk Disadvantage, see GURPS Basic Set : Characters, p.124). Anyone attacking it
suffers the same fate as if the Aurak was under a Flaming Armor spell. Six seconds later, or when the creature
reaches -2xHP, it transforms into a whizzing ball of lightning (and gains the Body of Lightning Meta-Trait,
see GURPS Magic, p.198), striking with his Brawling skill dealing 1d+3 burn damage (armor does not
protect). Three seconds later it explodes with a thunderous boom, stunning (as per regular stun, not mental
stun) all within 3 yards and causing 2d burn ex damage.
Breath Attack (17): see above
Energy Ray (17): see above
Flaying Touch: The Aurak rends skin and sends fire coursing along nerves in this devastating attack. Inflict
3d Impaling damage, and the target must roll HT (with a penalty equal to the damage inflicted) or suffer
Terrible Pain (-6) for the remainder of the battle.
Madness: The Aurak utters a dark word as an attack action, and everyone within 8 yards must make a Will
Roll -4 to resist. For every yard between themselves and the monster, add +1 to their roll as the distance
between them keeps them safe. Furthermore, only those who hear are affected. Those who fail gain a -15
point mental disadvantage of the GM's choice, which lasts for 1 minute per point the player failed by. GMs
are encouraged to be creative with the insanity they inflict on the players: rather than knocking them into
catatonia, use it as a chance to force them to be creative around their newly acquired derangement.
Draconian, Baaz
Baaz are the smallest and most plentiful draconians. Derived from the eggs of brass dragons, they were the
first draconians to appear on Krynn.
Baaz have mottled scales in various shades of bronze and dark green. Their eyes are blood red, and they have
slightly stooped shoulders. Their fangs are somewhat shorter than those of other draconian races.
Baaz so enjoyed the regal dress of the Dragonarmies that many of them continue to wear it today. Leather
collars and breastplates studded with iron are common, as are layered metal leggings. Since this apparel is
poorly kept, it is primarily for decoration, offering little in the way of protection.
Baaz are often encountered in disguise. They conceal their wings under long dark robes and hide their
features with large hoods and masks. Such outfits enable them to pass through civilized lands unnoticed.
At the bottom of the draconian social order, Baaz tend to be chaotic in nature and self-serving when they can
get away with it. During the War of the Lance, they served as common foot soldiers and were routinely
assigned the most dangerous and least appealing duties. Their superior officers, along with members other
draconian races, made no effort to conceal their contempt for the Baaz, humiliating them at every
opportunity. The Baaz deeply resented this treatment, a feeling that still lingers.

Death Throes: When a Baaz dies, it turns to stone instantly. If the opponent dealt the killing blow with a
cutting, piercing or impaling melee weapon, that opponent must make a DX check. If he fails, his weapon is
stuck in the petrified draconian and cannot be removed. The Baaz crumbles to dust 2d6 x 20 seconds after
death (releasing any trapped weapon).
Draconian, Bozak
Bozaks are magic-using draconians derived from the eggs of bronze dragons. They are quick-witted, shrewd,
and ruthless. Bozaks are just over six feet tall and are covered with bronze-colored scales. They have dull
yellow eyes and gray teeth.
Though Bozaks eschew armor, since it limits their maneuverability, they often wear helmets, light
breastplates, and leather arm and leg bands for body decoration.
Bozak wings are the most versatile of any draconian race. Aside from the Kapak, the Bozak is the only
draconian that can actually fly, albeit only for a single round (because flight requires a great effort, its
movement rate in the air is 6). Not only can it glide like other winged draconians, it can sustain the glide
indefinitely in a strong wind. On cold days, Bozaks spread their wings to increase exposure to the sunlight.
On warm days, they slowly flap their wings to generate cooling breezes. When Bozaks are anxious or lost in
thought, their wings twitch and vibrate.
Bozaks are intensely spiritual, devoted to the worship of Takhisis, the Queen of Darkness. They conduct
elaborate ceremonies in her honor.

Draconian, Kapak
Kapaks are a race of venomous draconians known for their stealth. They are derived from copper dragon eggs.
Kapaks average six feet tall and have sleek torsos and long limbs. Their scales are dull copper tinged with
green, their eyes are orange or dark brown. They have short manes of dark brown or blonde hair hanging
from either side of their mouths. Soft pads line the bottoms of their feet, enabling them to move silently.
They speak in a soft, high-pitched whine. The most exotic physical feature of the Kapaks are the poison
glands located under their tongues that continuously secrete a venomous spittle. The glands are magical in
nature, and are capable of producing a virtually limitless amount of the thick, yellowish venom.
Kapaks avoid any style of clothing that might draw attention to themselves.

Death Throes: When a kapak dies, his body instantly dissolves into a two-yard radius pool of acid. All
creatures within this area suffer 1d-3 points of corrosion damage (as if splashed with acid, Basic Set:
Campaigns, p.428) each round they remain in the pool. The acid evaporates in 1d x 6 seconds. All armor,
weapons, and items carried by the kapak suffer damage from the acid as well.
Poison: Bite or licked blade (See Affliction). Before entering combat, Kapaks often lick the blades of their
swords (which requires a Ready action). The poison remains on the blade for 20 seconds or until the Kapak
hits with the sword, whichever comes first. Kapaks are immune to their own poison.
Draconian, Sivak
Sivaks are savage, shapechanging draconians that are derived from the eggs of silver dragons. They are among
the most powerful draconians, second only to Auraks.
Sivaks have gleaming sliver scales and black eyes. Topping nine feet in height, they are the largest draconian
race. They emit a mild odor that smells ilke hot metal and smoke. Sivaks seldom wear armor, but they
sometimes wear flowing capes and decorative metal bands around their arms, legs, necks, and tails.
Sivaks can run and glide like most other draconian races, but they are unique in their ability to fly. They are
extremely agile in the air, as maneuverable as dragons and nearly as fast.

Death Throes: When a Sivak dies, it changes shape, assuming the form of the humanoid being that killed it.
This death shape lasts for three days, and then the entire body decomposes into black soot. If the Sivak's
slayer is larger than the Sivak or not humanoid, the Sivak instead bursts into flame, dealing 1d burn ex.
Stone Visage: Any who look upon the face of the monster must instantly roll HT or turn to stone.
Mechanically, being stoned is identical to being in a coma: the character cannot move or act until he is
“healed” either by a Stone to Flesh spell, or by having the “Curse Dispelled” or having his statue returned a
place of healing. A statue weighs twice as much as the original person did, for the intents of encumbrance.
The character can look at the reflection of the monster, but anyone who looks at the monster directly must
make the HT roll.
Dragon Turtle
Its rough, deep green shell is much the same color as the deep water the monster favors, and the silver
highlights that line the shell resemble light dancing on open water. The turtle’s legs, tail, and head are a
lighter green, flecked with golden highlights. An adult dragon turtle can measure from 20 to 30 feet from
snout to tail, with a shell from 15 to 25 feet in diameter, and can weigh 8,000 to 32,000 pounds.
Dragon turtles are fierce fighters and generally attack any creature that threatens their territory or looks like
a potential meal.

Dragon, True
Huge, intelligent, and impossibly long-lived, dragons are fire-breathing creatures of terrible beauty. They are,
by all available accounts, native to Yrth . . . at least, there are no reliable reports of a time before the dragons.
Given their blatantly magical nature, they may well have been the product, accidental or deliberate, of some
ancient age of high magic. If the dragons themselves know, they aren’t telling.
Dragons have two sexes, but distinguishing a male from a female is an exercise for the scholarly or the
foolhardy. Dragons mate infrequently, sometimes impelled by erratic instinct but oftener in pursuit of
political alliance; their clutches number up to a dozen eggs. A newly hatched dragon, about the size of a man,
is fully mobile, self-sufficient, and fluent in its racial language. Some dragons never make it out of the shell;
wyrm eggs are powerfully magical, and insanely brave adventurers sometimes steal them for sale to mages.
A newly hatched dragon sets out to find its own territory. Most hatchlings perish at the hands of humans,
dwarves, monsters, or other dragons, but the smartest and luckiest survive. Dragons grow, age, and ripen in
wisdom as long as they live. They never weaken or fall to senility; they are said to be immortal, succumbing
only to violence. Exceptionally magical creatures, they learn spells from each other, and occasionally from
powerful wizards of other races. The potential rewards of such arrangements can persuade dragons to traffic
with lesser beings, and humans to risk dealing with creatures that could swallow them in two bites. Dragons
also learn by research and experiments, in which case they may employ or enslave humanoid servitors to take
care of tedious details or simply to provide hands. An adult dragon may know dozens of spells, but they often
focus on high skill rather than acquiring a wide range. While they can use words and gestures of their claws
and tails to cast spells, some prefer to learn them to skill 20 or better, so that they can cast them subtly,
without overt rituals.
Except for Magery itself, their powers are not affected by low or high mana, but they suffer horrendously in
no-mana areas, quickly sickening and eventually dying. However, many prefer low-mana areas because
wizards are less likely to attack them there.
Dragons are thus most often found in the Ring Islands, the Great Forest, and the northern parts of the
Whitehood Mountains. They tend to live in mountainous areas but will take up residence anywhere that
interests them. Some are rumored to be able to take other forms and live among the more social races.
Whether they do so for political reasons, personal preferences, or simply sport is usually unknown. Dragons
could never be common. It takes a large territory to feed one; a full-grown dragon can eat two cows a week
and will prey on elephants for variety. Even a hatchling eats as much as a man. They can reduce their needs
by deliberately placing themselves in a kind of extended torpor, but most feel unsafe doing this for long:
enemies might take advantage. Most nurse a fondness for treasure, but this can take the form of violent greed,
refined connoisseurship, or miserly paranoia.
A few eventually rise above such seemingly crass instincts. Dragons are intelligent enough to understand the
long-term limits on their food supply, territorial enough to dislike having other dragons nearby, and far too
proud to adopt ideas such as agriculture. Those who live too close together inevitably fight, usually sooner
rather than later . . . but “sooner” for dragons may be a long time in human terms, as rivals watch for
advantage and negotiate with other neighbors. Dragons are quite willing to gang up on each other, but the
negotiations . . . who gets first pick of the target’s hoard, who gets how much of his lands . . . can take
decades. This partly explains the relative lack of truly ancient dragons – the youngsters eventually mob them.
Still, dragons do have a society. Every dragon past hatchling age knows every other dragon, at least by
reputation, and at times they meet peacefully . . . to
plot, to share knowledge, or just to have the
company of a near-equal.
Dragons rob men of land and cattle, dwarves of
caves and gold, elves of forest and game. Most of
the sentient races thus regard them as enemies.
Even in ancient times, the dragon population was
kept low by territorial squabbles and the occasional
elven or dwarven hero seeking revenge. Since the
Banestorm, dragons have gradually been
exterminated in populated regions. No young
dragon can hope to survive long in human lands;
only a mature wyrm dropping in unexpectedly is
likely to overcome the local warriors. Such a monster may even settle down and grow fat, pillaging at night
or demanding tribute.
Most dragons are intelligent enough not to pursue this strategy, since champions eventually come to do
battle. If nineteen die fiery deaths, still the twentieth appears. Or, worse, a human army with magical support
will lay siege to its lair. Sooner or later, the dragon must return to the wilderness, find new lands to terrorize
– or die. Scholars estimate that around 500 dragons live on Yrth, but given the complexities of dragon society,
the ease which which they can fly great distances, and the fact that many may be hibernating in secluded
lairs, no one can be at all certain.
Not all dragons are hostile marauders; some are willing to talk. People take some convincing that such
dragons are sincere, but it happens. Motivations vary from dragon to dragon: some care only for food and
treasure, while others see the benefits of bargaining and cooperation – or at least, of employing humanoid
agents.
Although a human army is one of the few things a dragon really fears, they can sometimes be persuaded to
participate in wars. Legends even speak of great heroes who rode dragons into battle. Dragons’ oaths, not
lightly given, can almost always be trusted; they are proud creatures, and a reputation for unreliability makes
things difficult over the centuries.
The best way to approach a dragon is to be very polite and offer treasure. Food is welcome, but only a young
or very hungry dragon will be mollified by that alone. Threats are likely to be met with anger and violence.
Incidentally, dwarves are the one race which trusts dragons less than humanity does. Reptile men, on the
other hand, regard them with respect, which is returned in full; in addition to its Reputation, reptile men
ignore a dragon’s Social Stigma.
Dragons fight intelligently, though some may succumb to atavistic battlefury. They use claws, teeth, strength,
and any applicable spells as well as breath weapons; older dragons make more use of flame, as they not only
have better range, but can spare more fatigue. Anyone attacking a dragon from behind is likely to become the
target of a tail swipe; dragons will often aim low, to sweep an opponent’s legs – or horse – out from under
him, buying the dragon time to deal with any foes to the front.

Mimic: The Dragon can change its form to imitate what it sees. By spending a turn concentrating, it can shifts
creature it sees otherwise
Stone Visage: Any who look upon the face of the monster must instantly roll HT or turn to stone.
Mechanically, being stoned is identical to being in a coma: the character cannot move or act until he is
“healed” either by a Stone to Flesh spell, or by having the “Curse Dispelled” or having his statue returned a
place of healing. A statue weighs twice as much as the original person did, for the intents of encumbrance.
You can look at the reflection of the monster, but anyone who looks at the monster directly must make the
HT roll
Swallowing Void: The Dragon casts everything into complete and total darkness. An area up to 32 yards in
areas that trick a person into walking deeper into the shadowy mist
Madness: The monster utters a dark word as an attack action, and everyone within 8 yards must make a Will
between them keeps them safe. Furthermore, only those who hear are affected. Those who fail gain a -15
point mental disadvantage of the GM's choice, which lasts for 1 minute per point the player failed by. GMs
are encouraged to be creative with the insanity they inflict on the players: rather than knocking them into
catatonia, use it as a chance to force them to be creative around their newly acquired derangement
Lenses:
In addition to draconic monsters such as wyverns, there are occasional reports of dragon-like monsters on
Yrth which do not fit the standard pattern. These may be magical mutants, or Banestorm victims from some
other world. A few seem to be simply “deficient” dragons; for example, some seem to be born without the
ability to breathe flame, but survive to adulthood anyway, thanks to raw strength, cunning, or magic. It is
said that some dragons pursue unusual magical paths which radically affect their physique, giving them an
exotic appearance and strange powers.
Most “variant dragons” lack wings and flame; some have the Constriction Attack advantage, or possess either
powerful venomous bites (a Toxic Attack with Follow-Up) or the ability to spit venom (a Corrosive or Toxic
Attack with Jet and often Contact Agent). A few are amphibious; some even prefer life underwater.
Dream Warrior
Dream warriors appear as swirling columns of white mist, having no corporeal bodies to speak of. In this form
they are hard to distinguish from smoke or fog, but as they engage in combat they take on more corporeal
forms.
They assume the shapes of knights and warriors, with armaments and weapons. They often scry their victims
briefly, pulling memories from their sub-conscience and casting themselves in the images of those memories.
They twist these memories into horrible apparitions, pained and sorrowful.
In this way their victims are confronted with someone they thought long dead or gone and made to believe
they suffer woefully in the great beyond. However dream warriors can never assume real shapes and there
are always tendrils of mist coiling about them.
Dream warriors do not bleed, nor can they have limbs chopped off or the like. Nor can they drop their
weapons, slip or fall. They are creatures of mist and fragments of a mad god’s musings. They are, however,
real and they can slay and cause damage as with any other creature. They are drawn to the weary or the
troubled. There are in fact many of these creatures, and they linger on the edges of civilization, or in
forgotten places where men once dwelt, latent and powerless. When they are encountered, their victims give
their malice shape and form and they manifest and attack those nearest.
Dream warriors use any variety of weapons in combat, preferring swords, axes and lances. They can fight two
handed. A dream warrior is incorporeal most of the time; at will, it may switch between a misty form and a
more dense corporeal form.
The dream warrior has the ability to read the thoughts of those within 100 feet of its location. It can do this
only while in its mist shape and even then only in a limited capacity.
It can read latent memories of its target. This is instantaneous, however, upon a successful Will check, the
target can detect that a hostile mind is scrying them.

Efreeti
These hulking warlords are the cruel rulers of the fire elementals, though in theory they all obey the Sultan
of the City of Brass. They plot and scheme against one another with a degree of cunning and skill usually seen
only in the Lower Planes. They care nothing for humans and generally try to corrupt those sha’ir powerful
enough to command them. Their arrogance and lust for power have won them few friends on either the
Elemental or Prime Material Planes.
An efreeti has the skin of the color of basalt, hair of brass, and eyes of flame. The efreet wear baggy
pantaloons, a shoulder harness for swords and daggers, and massive jewelry, generally armbands and earrings.
The males enjoy showing off their muscled chests and broad shoulders, and so only wear tunics and cloaks
when cold demands it; this is a matter of status and pride in strength rather than pure vanity. Their goal in
choosing weapons, clothes, and jewelry is as much to intimidate others as to adorn themselves.

Armageddon: Once per battle, the Efreeti unleashes a wave of complete and total destruction that completely
powering up a major attack is readily obvious to anyone who glances his direction (the trembling roar of his
power). When he has finished readying his power, he attacks, unleashing an explosive 20d blast of burning
damage. This strikes everything within a twenty yard radius, though each yard between the target and the
monster reduces the dice of damage by 1. After the smoke clears, the battlefield is set on fire. This should
involve a new map in tactical combat, or new movement rules in normal combat.
Ego
I began to experiment ...and that's how Ego came about. ... A planet that was alive; a planet that was
intelligent. That was nothing new either because there had been other stories about live planets but that's not
acceptable. ... You would say, 'Yeah, that's wild,' but how do you relate to it? Why is it alive? So I felt
somewhere out in the universe, the universe ... becomes denser and turns liquid — and that in this liquid,
there was a giant multiple virus, and if it remained isolated for millions and millions of years, it would ...
begin to evolve by itself and it would begin to think. By the time we reached it, it might be quite superior to
us — and that was Ego.
Ego is exceptionally intelligent, although as its name suggests, it harbors an extreme superiority complex and
can be emotional if thwarted. Ego is propelled through space via the engine Engai implanted on it and can
travel at faster than light speeds (for unknown reasons, Ego is unable to remove the powerful propulsion unit
placed at its south pole). Ego has total control over its entire mass down to the molecular level; it often shapes
its surface into the appearance of a gigantic face to address powerful beings, and can also shape its terrain to
suit the circumstances. It is able to use its own substance to extrude tentacles, organic sensors, plant-like
growth, and to create humanoid vessels for its consciousness. It can shape its surface to appear as a dead
inhospitable world, or into an idyllic, lush green paradise to lure unaware space travelers to its surface, which
it promptly consumes. Ego possesses various internal features analogous to a living organism, such as gigantic
tunnels that have been compared to arteries, and a gigantic brain-like organ deep below its surface. It can
heat up its internal temperature to destroy beings inside it. Ego possesses both digestive organs, which it uses
when absorbing living beings, and an immune system with which to create powerful antibodies to destroy
beings which resist absorption.
It also possesses vast psionic abilities, and can project blasts powerful enough to destroy other worlds. He was
able to read human's mind scan their biological structure.

Stone Tentacles (14): 103d crushing damage, reach up to thousands of yard The stats above are for the
tentacles that Ego can create to crush its enemies
Drain Emotion (23): Ego can drain all of the emotion out of a person. Roll a Quick Contest of Ego skill against
its enemy Will. If Ego win, he loses the ability to experience any emotions for (10 * your margin of victory)
hours. He retains his own mind and personality, but he will only take actions based on logic. Ego, on the
other hand, experiences his emotions for the duration of seconds! These are usually manageable, but
especially strong ones may require a Will roll to maintain your composure. This power takes normal range
penalties.
Ego, additionally, can affect everyone in a two-yard radius at once. It may double this radius, cumulatively,
for every 5 points by which Ego makes your (modified) skill roll.
Steal Dreams (23): Ego can steal someone’s dreams, leaving his sleep useless and unfulfilling. (Anyone with
Doesn’t Sleep is immune.) If Ego wins a Quick Contest of skill vs. his Will, his next full night’s sleep does not
count for FP recovery; treat it as though he was awake the entire time! There is no outer indication that he is
having problems – to an observer, he is sleeping peacefully. His dreams, however, are transferred to Ego; it
experiences them the next time you sleep. Ego can use this ability to learn more about a person’s secrets, or
uncover his hopes and desires. Ego can use this ability on a victim every day, until it kills him!
This power takes long-distance penalties (p. B241) allowing Ego to affect someone across space, as long as it
knows exactly where he is.
The lack of sleep has a particular deleterious effect on its victim. Ego can choose all of the following effects:
Bad Temper (9), Chronic Depression (12), Confused (9), Indecisive (9), Odious Personal Habit (Snippy, -3 to
reactions), Phantom Voices (Diabolical), or Short Attention Span (9). If Ego uses this technique every time it
affects a person, he gains that disadvantage once he has lost over 1/3 his basic FP to Steal Dreams. (For most
people, this will be after the second night in a row.) He keeps it for as long as he remains over this threshold.
Steal Energy (23): Ego can steal energy (FP) from others, replenishing its own. Ego must win a Quick Contest
of skill vs. its target’s Will; It is at -1 per yard of distance between them. Ego can drain 7 FP from a victim
every second; it has to roll a new Quick Contest per second.
If the subject ever successfully resists, Ego must wait 24 hours before attempting to drain him again. Even
successful use of Steal Energy can be tricky, as the subject’s sense of self is embedded in his life energy. After
Ego's done draining a person, it has to roll 3d. If the result is less than or equal to the amount of FP Ego stole
from him, the GM will assign Ego -(1d*5) points of disadvantages and quirks from the victim, which last for
10 minutes per point of stolen FP.
Ego skill takes normal range penalties.
Steal Life (23): Ego can steal someone’s life force (HP), healing itself with it. It must maintain ongoing contact
to use this ability – a grapple or handshake will do, but a touch will not. This is not a subtle ability! Roll a
Quick Contest of skill vs. the victim’s Will every second. If it succeeds, it drains 15 HP. These HP can be used
to heal its injuries. Once Ego is at full HP, they go to heal its FP instead. (If it is at full HP and FP, it get no
further benefit, but its victim can still lose HP.)
If its victim ever successfully resists, Ego cannot affect him again for 24 hours.
Ego can use Steal Life at a distance; it is at -1 to skill for every yard to the subject. Its effective power level is
halved while using No Contact, however.
Steal Power (23): Ego can steal someone’s psi abilities. This requires skin-to-skin contact and a Quick Contest
of skill vs. his Will. If Ego wins, it steals some of his power for the duration (below). If Ego ties or loses, it
cannot use Steal Power on the same subject again for 24 hours.
Ego can steals all of the victim’s psionic powers and abilities. To determine how long it retains the stolen
power, multiply its margin of victory by 2 days.
The subject retains any relevant Talents and skills, but Ego temporarily gain the skill for every stolen ability
at 23
Cryokinesis: Ego can lower temperatures, either in an area or within a subject. Each use requires a skill roll,
and Ego can affect anything it can see. Apply long-range modifiers for distant targets. When affecting an area
(which takes two seconds of concentration), Ego can lower the temperature by 600°, in an area with up to an
16-yard radius. The change takes place at 60° per second, over the course of 10 seconds. Those in the area do
not take damage directly, but they have to deal with the effects of Cold (p. B430).
If affecting a single subject, he resists with Will (inanimate objects resist with HT). Failure means that the
subject takes 9d of damage; DR does not protect against this!
Ego can choose which kind of damage the target takes: Freezing is FP damage; the FP lost cannot be regained
until the subject is in a warm environment. Frostbite is HP damage (specifically, burning damage, but from
extreme cold); if Ego wishes, the Creature can have it target a specific exterior hit location (i.e., “left arm” is
valid, but “vitals” are not).
Alternatively, instead of doing damage to a single subject, Ego can affect everyone in a two-yard radius area.
It has to roll once; they resist separately.
Nerve Damage (23): Ego can target the spine and nervous system for damage. Its attack does half damage, but
if the victim takes cumulative damage greater than 2/3 his HP or FP (as appropriate to the damage you’re
causing), he is paralyzed until he heals enough to fall back below that threshold.
PK Shield (23): Ego can psychokinetically resist or deflect incoming physical attacks. This affects weapons,
punches, and objects (including those held by TK Grab or thrown by TK Bullet), but it has no effect on
energy (e.g., fire, electricity) or purely mental attacks. Every time it is hit by a physical attack, it has to roll
against its skill. Success provides DR 100. In a situation where it's under constant “attack” (i.e., caught in a
vicious hailstorm), Ego has to roll once per minute. This is a passive ability.
Its effective shield level is halved, but it also grants its DR against damage from Innate Attacks that use
Cosmic or Malediction, as long as they involve physical damage of some sort. This includes TK Crush and
Innerportation. Round down.
Telereceive: Ego can read another person’s thoughts – and probe further, into his memories and subconscious.
To use this ability, it must win a Quick Contest of skill vs. the subject’s Will. He does not have to resist if he is
aware of its presence and wants to communicate with the creature. He also has the option of allowing Ego to
hear just the thoughts he “projects” at it, while still retaining the right to resist you reading his surface
thoughts or memories. Likewise, he can choose to let Ego read his surface thoughts while resisting attempts
to read his memories.
If the subject does resist, its repeated attempt penalties (p. PP6) – but not the FP cost – are tripled if Ego try
again within five minutes, and doubled if you try again within the hour.
Critical failure means Ego cannot get inside this subject’s head for 24 hours, unless it uses the New Approach
psi technique.
If Ego wins, it is inside his head and can overhear his surface thoughts, including any telepathic conversations
he’s involved in. Ego canunderstand his native language! This gives you +4 Detect Lies, Fortune-Telling, and
Psychology against the subject. (This bonus is not cumulative with the Emotion Sense ability.) Ego also
receives +4 to detect an imposter and +2 to other rolls where knowing what the subject is thinking would be
useful (e.g., Tactics, Influence Rolls). This also reduces its defense penalties from his feints and Deceptive
Attacks by -1. Ego may stay in his mind for as long as it’d like. The creature only needs to roll again if the
range penalty worsens.
Once in, it can probe further. This takes a second and requires another Quick Contest. If Ego wins, it can get
an honest answer to any question from the subject’s mind. If he resists, see above. Ego only suffers repeated
attempt penalties if it asks the same (or a very similar) question.
This power has no range penalties.
Note that Telereceive can be used to detect other psis in the subject’s mind (see Inside a Crowded Mind, p.
PP12) and – in conjunction with Psi Sense (p. PP41) or Telepathy Sense (p. PP67) – can eavesdrop (p. PP12)
on a telepathic conversation.
Deep Probe (23): Ego can use this technique once you’re already inside its subject’s mind. If successful, any
attempts to probe his memories in the next minute are unresisted. Ego only needs to succeed on its skill roll
to get the answer.
Multiplicity (23): Ego can read additional minds without leaving the one it's in. This is at an additional -1
penalty (which cannot be bought off) for each person you’re already reading.
New Approach (23): After critically failing, Ego can try to use Telereceive on the subject within 24 hours, but
this roll is at an extra -2 penalty (which cannot be bought off) for every critical failure against the subject in
the past 24 hours.
Telesend (23): Ego can project its thoughts into a person’s mind. Make a skill roll, minus any range penalty to
the subject, to do so. This is one of the few Telepathy abilities Ego can use “blind”; if it cannot see the subject,
its skill roll is at -3 for acquaintances; and -5 for someone it met only briefly. If successful, the subject hears
your voice in his head. If the subject does not want to hear Ego, he can mute its voice down to a whisper; this
does not require a roll and is a free action. If he does not, Ego can use further Telepathy abilities on him; the
most common is to employ Telereceive so you can have a two-way conversation. Ego does not need to roll
again to maintain the connection to this subject unless the range penalty worsens.
Ego can send mental images, at about the same speed and accuracy as if it were drawing it yourself; Ego has to
use the Send Senses psi technique for better pictures. When using Multiplicity (Telereceive) to stay in touch
with several people at once, Ego can send the same thought to multiple contacts simultaneously, at a -1
penalty per contact.
Range is as for Telereceive (above).
Broadcast (23): Ego can send its thoughts to anyone and everyone around you. Use its margin of success to
determine how far its thoughts went. It may choose to have only some of the people around it hear it, if Ego
wish.
Send Senses (23): Ego can send fully accurate images from its mind (or of anything it can see) in one second.
Ego can send sounds, smells, touches, and tastes as well.
Ettercap
An ettercap is a purplish humanoid spider. It is 6-feet tall, walks on two legs and has two arms, but its arms
and legs end in claws and it has a spider's head. It typically has many spiders around it as pets, many of which
will be big enough for trouble.
While not intelligent, ettercaps will have traps lain. It is cowardly, and suffers -2 to Fright Checks when
physical danger is involved. It will avoid confrontation with anyone who can obviously harm it, instead using
its traps to make sure these folks cannot strike back.

Ettin
Ettins, or two-headed giants, as they are often called, are vicious and unpredictable hunters that stalk by
night and eat any meat they can catch.
The creature’s vast differences from the relatively civilized giant races become immediately apparent. An
ettin has brownish skin, though it appears to be covered in a dark brown hide. This is because an ettin never
bathes if it can help it, and is therefore usually encrusted with a thick layer of dirt and grime. Its skin is thick,
giving the ettin its high DR. An ettin’s hair is long, stringy, and unkempt; its tusks are huge, yellowing, and
often rotten. The ettin’s facial features strongly are those of an wild boar.

Evil Mirror
The Evil Mirror is an artefact of the Demon Lords. It can duplicate one or more sentient creatures of SM 0 or
less, with the same attributes, traits and skills. Only the social and mental traits are "specular": the good
person will give rise to a wicked creature, etc.
In game terms, the heroes could give life to their arch-enemies that, by working behind the scenes, could
give them a hard time...

into catatonia.
Typhon's Grasp: the monster can control the weather, summoning a vast and terrible storm that covers an
area of up to 1000 yards in radius (over a mile wide). He concentrates and then makes an IQ roll. If successful,
he summons the storm. Every turn, the monster my direct the winds and rain to offer a +2 or a -2 to anyone
(for example, impeding vision or ranged attack rolls) he wishes. Furthermore, every turn he gets a two free
attacks, in addition to his normal actions. The first is a lightning blast (3d(2) burning) and the second is a
sweeping wind (3d force that causes x2 knockback and no wounding). The powerful storm threatens to
escape the monster's grasp, though, and anytime something unusual or surprising happens, the monster must
roll Will or temporarily lose control of the storm

Gamma Horror
At the end of the WWII, a group of Nazi terrorists bursted into the laboratories of the "Manhattan Project",
destroying all the documents. The U.S. Army, in a bind, opted to use, against the Japan, a new weapon of
mass destruction: the "Gamma Bomb". In August, 6, 1945, this terrible bomb was being dropped onto
Hiroshima.
The corpses of the japanese came back to life like hideous monsters, amazingly strong and resilient. Perfect

Giant, Fire
Fire giants are brutal, ruthless, and militaristic. They are tall, but squat, resembling huge dwarves. An adult
male is 30 feet tall Fire giants have coal black skin, flaming red or bright orange hair, and prognathous jaws
that reveal dirty ivory or yellow teeth. They can live to be 350 years old.
Warriors usually wear banded mail and round metal helmets. They carry their belongings in huge sacks. A
typical fire giant's sack contains 2-7 (1d+1) throwing rocks, the giant's wealth, a tinderbox, and 3-18 (3d)
common items.
Everything they own is battered, filthy, and smelly, making it difficult to identify valuable items. All fire
giants can speak the language of all giants and their own tongue.
Fire giants are immune (DR 30) to fire and heat, as well as red dragon breath. Adult fire giants can hurl rocks
for 5-30 (5d) points of damage. Their minimum range is 3 yards while their maximum is 200 yards. They can
catch similar large missiles 50% of the time. They usually fight in disciplined groups, throwing rocks until
they run out of ammunition or the opponent closes. Fire giants often wait in ambush at lava pools or hot
springs, hurling heated rocks at victims for an extra 1-6 points of damage. Warriors favor huge two-handed
swords.

Giant, Frost
Like all evil giants, frost giants have a reputation for crudeness and stupidity. This reputation is deserved, but
frost giants are crafty fighters. Frost giants have muscular, roughly human builds. The typical adult male is 30’
tall. Females are slightly shorter and lighter, but otherwise identical to males. Frost giants have snow-white
or bluish skin. Their hair is light dirty yellow or ivory, with matching eyes. They can live to be 250 years old.
Warriors usually wear chain mail and metal helmets decorated with horns or feathers. They also wear skins
and pelts, along with any jewelry they own. Frost giants carry their belongings in huge sacks. A typical frost
giant’s sack contains 2-7 (ld+1) throwing rocks, the giant’s wealth, and 3-18 (3d) mundane items. Everything
in a giant’s bag is old, worn, dirty, and smelly, making the identification of any valuable items difficult.
Frost giants speak their own language.
Frost giants are immune to cold. Adult frost giants can hurl rocks for 5-30 (5d) points of damage. Their
minimum range is 3 yards while their maximum is 200 yards. They usually will start combat at a distance,
throwing rocks until they run out of ammunition, or the opponent closes. One of their favorite strategies is to
ambush victims by hiding buried in the snow at the top of an icy or snowy slope where opponents will have
difficulty reaching them. Warriors favor huge battle axes.

Giant, Hill
Hill Giants are cunning brutes who survive through hunting and by terrorizing and raiding nearby
communities. Despite their low intelligence, they are capable fighters.
Hill giants are oddly simian and barbaric in appearance, with overly long arms, stooped shoulders, and low
foreheads. Even though they are the smallest of the giants, their limbs are more muscular and massive than
those of the other giant races. The average hill giant is 22 feet tall and weighs about 4,500 pounds. Females
have the same builds as males. Their skin color ranges from a light tan to a deep ruddy brown. Their hair is
brown or black, and their eyes are black. Hill giants can live to be 200 years old.
Nearly all hill giants wear these hides, which are a symbol of esteem in some hill giant communities-the more
hides a giant has, the more large kills to his credit. A typical hill giant's bag will contain 2-12 (2d6) throwing
rocks, the giant's wealth, and 1-6 additional common items

Githyanki
Githyanki are an ancient race descended from humans. They dwell upon the Astral plane but will often leave
that plane to make war on other races. They are engaged in a lengthy war with the githzerai.
Githyanki are strongly humanoid in appearance. They are approximately of human height but tend to be
much more gaunt and long of limb. They have rough, yellow skin and gleaming black eyes that instantly
betray their inhumanness. Like many demihuman races, their ears have sharp points and are serrated at the
back. Dress for the githyanki is always an elaborate affair. Their baroque armor and weapons of war are
decorated with feathers, beads, and precious metals and gems.
Githyanki speak their own tongue, and no others.

Gnoll
Gnolls are large, evil, hyena-like humanoids that roam about in loosely organized bands.
While the body of a gnoll is shaped like that of a large human, the details are those of a hyena. They stand
erect on two legs and have hands that can manipulate as well as those of any human. They have greenish gray
skin, darker near the muzzle, with a short reddish gray to dull yellow mane.
Gnolls have their own language and many also speak the tongues of flinds, trolls, orcs, or hobgoblins.

The word was used to mean an amorphous, unformed material in Psalms and medieval writing. The Golem
has the body of metal and attacks its enemies with huge swords. Its only vulnerabilty is the inscription on its
forehead: if an enemy read it aloud, the Golem is instantly destroyed

Gug
"It was a paw, fully two feet and a half across, and equipped with formidable talons. After it came another
paw, and after that a great black-furred arm to which both of the paws were attached by short forearms.
Then two pink eyes shone, and the head of the awakened gug sentry, large as a barrel, wabbled into view.
The eyes jutted two inches from each side, shaded by bony protuberances overgrown with coarse hairs. But
the head was chiefly terrible because of the mouth. That mouth had great yellow fangs and ran from the top
to the bottom of the head, opening vertically instead of horizontally."
—H. P. Lovecraft, The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath
Gugs are a race of horrifying giants (9 yards tall). They are speechless, communicating only by facial
expressions. But they tend to make very strange sounds randomly as if they have Tourette's syndrome.
The gugs were banished to the underworld by the earth’s gods, the Great Ones, for an unnamed blasphemy.
Now they reside in a terrifying, underground city, dwelling in lofty, round, cyclopean towers. Nearby,
colossal monoliths mark the cemetery of the gugs. In the midst of the gug city, the Tower of Koth contains a
stairway that leads to the Enchanted Wood in the upper Dreamlands. There it is sealed by a huge stone
trapdoor with a large iron ring. Because of a curse of the gods, no gug may open that door, though no such
restriction prevents a gug from climbing to the very top of the tower.
Gugs prey on the ghasts that live in the Vaults of Zin (though prior to their banishment, they had been
known to devour wayward dreamers). When in sufficient numbers, ghasts may likewise prey on the gugs.
Though gugs would seem to have the advantage, they nonetheless superstitiously fear ghouls. The gugs often
indulge in great feasts and, once engorged, retire to their great towers to sleep.

Gullet
The gullet is a creature unlike any on the planet; it may not even be from this planet. Found in damp, warm
underground environments, it is a 20’-long, 5’-thick tube of gooey, leathery muscle, terminating in a mouth
5’ across that is filled with three rows of serrated teeth. The mouth conceals a long, black tongue, which can
shoot out at 60 mph and grab an enemy in less than a second.
The worst aspect of the creature is the dozens of tendrils, up to 200 yards long, that snake out from its hiding
place along walls and ceilings, or underwater. These are slick and hard, and take on the appearance of their
surroundings. Using its tendrils, the gullet grows “into” its chosen network of caves, tunnels or basements and
gathers food. The tongue is used only when prey gets close enough to eat. A gullet hates living things coming
near its body unless they’re food dragged there by a tendril.
When traveling, the gullet extends no tendrils and keeps its tongue folded over into its body. It can snake
along as quickly as a running man, and can twist and flatten itself to fit into some very tight spots. In a very
open area, the gullet will try to intimidate its foes by drawing in its tendrils and rearing up on them like legs,
lashing out with its tongue. It takes 25 tendrils to support the creature; any remaining tendrils may still
attack. The stats above are for the gullet’s tube-like body. The damage listed is for its mouth. The creature’s
DR isn’t due so much to resistance to damage as to the lack of resistance – physical attacks tend to slosh
through the sticky muscles as if through mud – but they do have a certain tough, elastic quality as well. Due
to its shape, a gullet’s body has a “blow-through” threshold of 30 hit points rather than 300.
Gullets enjoy heat, and are immune to flames cooler than 4,500°F or so (much hotter than Company-issue
flamethrowers). They have an effective DR of 40 against flame weaponry and other heat-based attacks.
Extreme cold slows them slightly; it doesn’t harm them.
Getting Touched: Gullets settle into remote corners, shafts and holes, deep underground. Once they are at
rest in a new location, they quickly grow tendrils, one at a time. These grow to a length of approximately 600’
in about two days. Then the next tendril begins to grow. The tendrils adapt their coloration (and to a limited
degree, their texture) to their environment, blending in as much as possible. In a cave, they look like smooth
flows of stone, while in a sewer, they resemble hard, gray pipes. The gullet can sense heat and movement
through any part of its body, with an acuity that in some ways surpasses human sight. When food draws near
a tendril, it moves, crushing the prey and dragging it back to the gullet’s maw.
The tendrils are narrow enough to wrap around a mansized creature several times. Each one has ST 16, and
can move and dodge as quickly as the body itself. They can also constrict. The tendrils have DR 5. It takes 8
points of damage to sever one. Damage done to a tendril has no effect on the body or other tendrils. A gullet
can have more than 30 tendrils; the limit is unknown. The record to date is 37.
Getting Licked: The gullet is a partially hollow tube of sinuous muscle, and a large part of it is tongue. The
tongue is extended only when food is being drawn toward the gullet’s open maw, or as a last-ditch (and
devastating) form of attack. The creature’s tongue is twice as strong as its body proper (ST 109!), much longer
and lightning-quick. In game terms, it is a much more powerful tendril. Any target within 15 yards of the
creature’s maw (in direct line-of-sight) can be snapped up and pulled into the maw as a single combat action.
This requires a Quick Contest of DX between the gullet and the victim. If the victim loses, he is instantly
grappled in the gullet’s mouth (ST 78), and the gullet can start chewing him up on its next turn. When the
tongue is “deployed,” any target within 30 yards of any part of it can be grappled. Again, roll a Quick Contest
of DX. The gullet may elect to move the target the remainder of the 30 yards. For instance, a target 20 yards
from the tongue when it attacks can be grappled and dragged 10 yards in a single turn. The gullet’s tongue
may constrict on the turn that it grapples. Death is typically instantaneous. The tongue has DR 5. It takes 24
hits of damage to “cripple” it, and cutting damage can sever it.
However, any part of the tongue between the wound and the creature can still move and attack normally,
dragging the crippled flesh along with it, if necessary. If the gullet’s tongue is crippled, it will begin its retreat
(see below).
Gullet Encounters: All five gullets encountered
to date have been solitary creatures. Three of
these were destroyed by Cadre squads after
several previous squads had gone missing. The
other two got away.
Tactically, they are a nightmare: a conflict
with a gullet is a conflict with the shadows in
its lair and with its tendrils. A GM running a
gullet encounter should build to it slowly, then
start it abruptly. Out of nowhere, one or more
tendrils will strike at each black op: some from
the ceiling, some from the floor, some from
behind pillars, crates, stalagmites. . . The gullet will choose its point of attack carefully, trying to keep
dangerous prey at a good distance from its soft body. While small-arms fire rarely bothers it, a burst or two
from a machine gun can kill it in seconds; and while it’s too stupid to tell a gun from a six-pack of 7-Up
(unless it has encountered one before), the gullet knows that humans are dangerous prey. Eventually, a group
of tough and clever ops will trace the tendrils to their source. Then they’d better be ready, because the gullet
won’t hesitate to bring its tongue to bear. This can mean a dead op every turn if they’re foolish enough to get
into the open in front of its maw. On the other hand, the only way to disable the tongue is to give the gullet
an excuse to extend it. Risky hunting. Explosives may sound like the obvious answer, but they are generally a
bad idea in an underground environment, especially beneath the populated areas that gullets enjoy feeding
from. If the gullet sustains a crippling injury to its tongue, loses more than half of its tendrils or takes any
kind of real injury to its body, it will engineer its retreat. By taking a single turn and doing nothing else, the
gullet can “jettison” its tendrils. Free of its “entanglements,” the central body can make good its escape,
fleeing into large heating ducts, watery pits or any other tight squeeze it can find. The discarded tendrils tend
to harden and dry over time, becoming just another odd tree root or length of lead pipe to the casual
observer.

Gynosphinx
Gynosphinxes can attack with two paws, but prefer to bargain with their opponents. They help strangers only
if they are paid. They accept payment for services rendered or knowledge and advice given, in the form of
gems (preferred), jewelry, magic, or knowledge. Knowledge that would be of special interest to a gynosphinx
is the location of an androsphinx, but they accept fine prose, poetry, lore, or a good riddle.
If anyone breaks a bargain with a gynosphinx, he is subject to attack and the gynosphinx won't hesitate to
devour the victim if it wins the fight. Note that a gynosphinx is very intelligent and can use its spells in many
ways. If a bargaining group of adventurers steps back to discuss their plans among themselves, the
gynosphinx will growl a little and cast clairaudience to listen in.
Gynosphinxes are solitary by nature, but not by choice. They spend most of their lives avoiding the advances
of criosphinxes (which they detest) and hieracosphinxes (which they fear), and searching high and low for an
androsphinx.
Gynosphinxes are intelligent enough to actively seek out ruins and mystical places, like forgotten temples and
such, which they immediately occupy. Using their many spells to learn as much as possible about the setting,
they then wait for the next group of travelers, pilgrims, or adventurers to come by and hope that they've
encountered an androsphinx in their travels or have spells or magical items that might be usable for just such
a purpose.
Gynosphinxes own the dubious distinction of being the only female sphinx. A gynosphinx mated with an
androsphinx will produce another androsphinx or gynosphinx (even chances for both). A gynosphinx mated
with a criosphinx only produces another male criosphinx, while mating with a hieracosphinx produces
similarly displeasing results.
Fortunately, gynosphinxes are much smarter than all of their counterparts and can avoid otherwise
compromising situations through trickery and outright deceit. Unfortunately, they are among the slowest of
the sphinxes when flying or running, and the lustful criosphinx and vicious hieracosphinx rarely give up the
chase once a gynosphinx has been located.
Notes: Once per week, the Gynosphinx, by performing a 10 minutes ritual, can inscribe a magical rune that is
triggered whenever a creature does one or more of the following, as she selects: looks at the rune; reads the
rune; touches the rune; passes over the rune; or passes through a portal bearing the rune. Regardless of the
trigger method or methods chosen, a creature more than 20-yard from a rune can’t trigger it (even if it meets
one or more of the triggering conditions, such as reading the rune).
Once the rune is inscribed, the triggering conditions cannot be changed. In this case, “reading” the rune
means any attempt to study it, identify it, or fathom its meaning. Throwing a cover over a rune to render it
inoperative triggers it if the symbol reacts to touch. She can’t use a rune offensively; for instance, a
touchtriggered rune remains untriggered if an item bearing it is used to touch a creature. Likewise, a rune
cannot be placed on a weapon and set to activate when the weapon strikes a foe.
She can also set special triggering limitations of her own. These can be as simple or elaborate as she desires.
Special conditions for triggering a rune can be based on a creature’s name, identity, or other observable
actions or qualities. When scribing a rune, she can specify a password or phrase that prevents a creature using
it from triggering the effect. Anyone using the password remains immune to that particular rune’s effects so
long as the creature remains within 60 feet of the rune. If the creature leaves the radius and returns later, it
must use the password again.
She also can attune any number of creatures to the rune, but doing this can extend the ritual time. Attuning
one or two creatures takes negligible time, and attuning a small group (as many as ten creatures) extends the
ritual time to 1 hour. Attuning a large group (as many as twenty-five creatures) takes 24 hours. Attuning
larger groups takes proportionately longer. Any creature attuned to a rune cannot trigger it and is immune to
its effects, even if within its radius when triggered. She is automatically considered attuned to her own runes,
and thus always ignore the effects and cannot inadvertently trigger them. A rune can be removed by a
successful Dispel Magic spell. Destruction of the surface where a symbol of death is inscribed destroys the
symbol but also triggers it.
She can cast each version of these runes once per week and the rune lasts a maximum of one week.
Here are the available rune types:
Rune of Death: Roll vs HT-2 of suffer a Heart Attack.
Rune of Fear: Fright Check at -3.
Rune of Insanity: Roll vs Will-3 or suffer the Hallucinating condition for minutes equal to the margin of
failure.
Rune of Pain: Roll vs HT-3 or suffer the Agony condition for minutes equal to the margin of failure.
Rune of Persuasion: Roll vs Will-3 or suffer the effects of a Loyalty spell (M136) as if casted by the
Gynopshinx.

Rune of Stunning: Roll vs Will-3 or suffer the Paralysis condition for minutes equal to the margin of failure.

Hag, Flame
The Flame Hag is a terrible monster: it can turn its body into fire at will and can toast a human being in a
second. It loves burning things down.
Attribute Modifiers: ST -1; DX +2; IQ +4; HT +1

Flame Storm: the Hag can raise temperatures, either in an area or within a subject. Each use requires a skill
roll, and it can affect anything it can see. Apply long-range modifiers for distant targets.
When affecting an area (which takes two seconds of concentration), the Hag can raise the temperature by 20°
per level, in an area with up to an eight-yard radius. The change takes place at (2*level)° per second, over the
course of 10 seconds. Those in the area do not take damage directly, but they have to deal with the effects of
heat (p. B434). If affecting a single subject, he resists with Will (inanimate objects resist with HT). Failure
means that the subject takes one of two types of damage (Hag's choice): Heatstroke does 1 point of FP damage
per level; the FP lost cannot be regained without a cool environment and liquid to drink. Spontaneous
Combustion does two points of burning (HP) damage per level; also, treat the flammability class (Making
Things Burn, p. B433) of the subject as one step higher than it actually is! DR does not protect against either
type of harm.

blind.” Thus, the Hag chooses to create subtle illusions, so the target doesn't realize he's being tricked
Hag, Rift
Rift hags are ugly crones who spend their time spinning, weaving and mending cloth. Each is an incredibly
powerful supernatural creature - their cloth represents thè fabric of time and space. As they work, they repair
holes in thè temporal landscape and weave new bolts of cloth for mankind to live in. Any old woman who
sews, spins, or weaves by trade might be a rift hag.
All rift hags are ugly, so ugly that they often cover their faces. Many are twisted, bloated and filthy as well.
They are never seen traveling, but some will mysteriously arrive or depart from their communities without
warning. Each has a cover story to make her existence sound legitimate.
Their primary job is to make new fabric and to repair damage. Each rift hag is fully aware of what she does,
but unable to explain it. She can do nothing else. Rift hags are powerful . . . but disinterested in capitalizing
on their power for personal gain. It is possible that they serve a higher or darker power. If so, they appear to
be neutral in any battle between good and evil. Their only other interest is in punishing those who cross
them. Their punishments often revolve around trickery and manipulation.
They can be killed but their power cannot be stolen. Their magic is inborn - if anyone else tries to mend or
spin their cloth, there is no cosmic effect. If a hag's spinning wheel, sewing machine, or piece of cloth is
stolen, however, thè rift hags will stop at nothing to get it back. Thè thief cannot use thè stolen goods, but thè
rift hags' work will be delayed until thè goods are returned.
They are dangerous only when mistreated. More than anything, they hate seeing someone repulsed by their
appearance. They demand respect and do not enjoy being pestered. If someone knows what they are and
threatens to tell others, he will regret it.
They do not know spells, but their occult knowledge is vast. They can describe thè dimensions, recite tales of
necromancers and demons, and identify most supernatural beasts. They can also use thè rifts to pass through
time and space; this gives them nearly limitless power.
They cannot transport others through thè rifts of time and space directly. They can, however, give simple
directions that will help. They know basic rituals that, when performed in thè proper conditions, allow an
observer to see into other times or places. In rare cases, he can also travel to thè new time and place. Such a
journey is often temporary and always dangerous. If thè ritual was improperly performed or thè conditions
not quite right, thè traveler may find himself in trouble. He could be transformed or cursed upon arrival,
instantly detected by foes in thè new setting, or arrive at thè wrong destination. If thè rift hag was feeling
mean, she might have given him false instructions to achieve just such an effect.
Rift hags occasionally resort to violence. Physical attacks include punching (which could fell an ox),
crucifying someone with needles, and skinning a foe alive. At ST 23, they do 2d+1 with a thrusting attack and
4d+1 with a swing. They are not above a little torture to make their point.
On thè other hand, a rift hag can become a temporary ally. People who treat them with charm, respect and a
few well-placed compliments will not be harmed. Thè rift hag may even help them. This civility won't last
long, however - she will soon become suspicious, assuming she has been duped. If anything happens to proves
her right, thè con artist is doomed.

he's dead or morning comes. If their quarry is killed, they string him up along thè street and paint thè
victim's offense on his forehead in blood.
Thè judges never speak except to whisper their prey's offense over and over. Each hangin'judge looks bit
different, but all wear cowls or hoods hiding their faces.

The Loop (23): the Judge attacks by throwing a lasso against its enemy (Range 30). When it hits (without
penality for the neck), the loop causes 4d+1 crushing damage. The victim, furthermore, suffocates (see pag
B436).
Dream-Weaving: the Judge can manipulate what others think they see and hear. After concentrating, roll
IQ+2 vs the target's will. Success allows the Judge to control what they see and hear. Its illusions may be
blind.” Thus, the Judge chooses to create subtle illusions, so the target doesn't realize he's being tricked
Stone Visage: any who look upon the face of the Judge must instantly roll HT or turn to stone. Mechanically,
being stoned is identical to being in a coma: the character cannot move or act until he is “healed” either by a
Stone to Flesh spell, or by having the “Curse Dispelled” or having his statue returned a place of healing. A
statue weighs twice as much as the original person did, for the intents of encumbrance. You can look at the
reflection of the Judge, but anyone who looks at the monster directly must make the HT roll.
Vampiric Aura: everyone within a 2 yard radius of the Judge loses 1 HP per turn, which increases the Judge
HP by a similar amount.

Hellknight
These powerful, armored demons serve as the captains of Hell's legions. They are more than capable of
holding off an entire band of experienced adventurers on their own. With sufficient DR to stave off even the
most powerful weapons and complete mastery of their blade, a party of adventurers should think twice
before taking one on.
Hell Knights take to the front-lines, using their considerable defenses to hold off the adventurers while his
other demons do the necessary work to take the players down. He's also very capable of killing off players.

him to force any roll in his presence to be rerolled twice, with him choosing the result he likes best, once
every thirty minutes of gameplay, and he may have three “lucky” events occur in his favor whenever he
wishes, and in whatever form he wishes.

Tornado (18): when the Hellshrike flaps, anyone within an arc of 30 yards of radius and 60° of width must
roll vs. ST -5 once per second to avoid being knocked over by the wind. All DX-based skills are at -5, and
ranged attacks through it are impossible. Visibility inside it is a yard at best. This powerful windstorm
physically lifts and hurls objects up to 200 pounds.
Corrupting Touch: The Hellshrike imparts a lethal entropic energy that slowly dissolves the target. Ideal for
scaring players after the fight is finished, and forcing them to come up with solutions. Inflict 4d toxic damage
and the target must make a HT roll or suffer an immediate Follow Up of 2d toxic damage, that also cycles
every minute for the next ten minutes. Esoteric Healing (Holy) will purge the victim of the taint that besets
him.
Vampiric Aura: Everyone within a 2 yard radius of the Hellshrike loses 1 HP per turn, which increases the
Shrike HP by a similar amount.
Doom: Three times per day, the Hellshrike may cast a Malediction upon one of his foes. Take a concentration
action and roll Will, subtracting the distance between the target and the Shrike in yards as a penalty. The
minute. If at the end of that minute, the Hellshrike who inflicted the curse is still alive, the character dies.
Doom is ideal for adding a hard time limit and a sense of desperation to the fight.
Typhon's Grasp: The Hellshrike can control the weather, summoning a vast and terrible storm that covers an
area of up to 1000 yards in radius (over a mile wide). It concentrates and then makes an IQ roll. If successful,
it summons the storm. Every turn, the monster my direct the winds and rain to offer a +2 or a -2 to anyone
(for example, impeding vision or ranged attack rolls) it wishes. Furthermore, every turn it gets a two free
escape the monster's grasp, though, and anytime something unusual or surprising happens, the Shrike must
roll Will or temporarily lose control of the storm.

Hydra
The Hydra is the stuff nightmares are made of. It's a ten yard long snake with seven fierce heads at the end of
long flexible necks. Each head possesses a mouth that can distend enough to swallow whole a large horse or
ox. Fortunately enough, the hydra is just short of being sentient, and its motivations don't extend past
searching for its next (copious) meal. Despite it's massive bulk, the hydra's strong muscles make is extremely
fast, and it's streamline shape allows it to swim even faster.
The Hydra is a Maneater. Well, almost-everything-eater. Not able to negotiate, but highly subject to
distraction with food. Considers dead/unconscious/pinned/helpless delvers to be food.

Advantages: 360° Vision; Amphibious; Discriminatory Smell; Doesn't Breathe (Gills); Double-Jointed; Extra

Tail Slap (22): 10d+2 cr at reach C-6. This is a striker.

Bite (22): 7d-1 imp at reach C-6 and automatically grabs if it hits. This attack counts as a grapple, taking half
penalties for hit location and reversing the usual penalty for relative SM to a bonus (as usual). Treat a onehead
bite as a one-handed Grapple, although the Hydra may apply more heads to the situation as if they were
hands (does not increase damage, does increase hit bonuses). They can attack in any direction. See also
Swallow.
Swallow: If a Delver with SM 3 or less does not break free from a biting Grab before the Hydra's next turn,
the Hydra swallows the delver as an Attack action (no defense). The Delver is now considered pinned (p.
B370) and the Hydra's mouth is now available for a new bite. Each turn thereafter the Hydra makes a ST vs.
best of Delver's ST/HT attack as a free action, and deals crushing damage equal to the margin of success to the
Delver (counts as a Large Area Injury). Swallowed Delvers who must breathe are subject to Drowning in
stomach acid, and should probably hold their breath. Hydra stomach acid is not strong enough to do
significant damage over the course of combat. Escape from the Hydra's gullet can be achieved by Breaking
Free. The Hydra can have swallowed at one time two SM 0 delver, four SM -1 delvers, eight SM -2 delvers,
and so on. GM's problem to figure out combinations.
Lenses:
Acid Hydra: The hydra’s stomach acid is powerful enough to eat through stone and steel in seconds! Those
trapped in the hydra’s stomach take 5d corrosion damage per turn, instead of the usual constriction by the
stomach walls. The hydra can also spit this acid, as a 10 yard range, 2 yard radius area effect, dealing 3d
corrosion damage , but doing so depletes it’s acid reserves. Each time the hydra uses this attack, reduce the
damage the stomach acid does to those swallowed by 1d, and can not use this ability if doing so would reduce
the stomach acid damage to less than 1d. The hydra “recharges” it’s stomach acid at the rate of 1d per second.
Fire Hydra: Maybe the hydra secretes a venom that spontaneously combusts, or it has some fire elemental
blood in it, but it can breathe fire! Add Innate Attack (Breath)–16, Injury Tolerance (Damage Reduction)
(Fire Only) 4, and 4d 10 yards long, 10 yards wide fire breath. Each head can use the breath attack instead of
attacking, and each fire breath requires a 1 hour recharge.
Frost Hydra: The Hydra’s stomach is frigid. Those swallowed take 1d fatigue damage with the freezing
enhancement per turn, in addition to the normal constriction effects, and DR does not protect. Also, the
hydra can shoot basketball sized “pellets” of ice, that shatter on impact. Add Innate Attack (projectile)–16,
Injury Tolerance (Damage Reduction) (Ice/Cold Only) 4, and instead of attacking, each head can shoot 3d cr
dkb+2d cr ex [2d cut] ice balls, with a range of 20 yards.
Poison Hydra: The hydra’s digestive processed cause it to exhude a cloud of noxious vapors around it.
Upgrade Resistant to metabolic Hazards to Immune to Metabolic Hazards, and add Injury Tolerance (Damage
Reduction) (Poison and Acid Only) 4, and the hydra exudes an 8 yard radius cloud of noxious gasses, that
persists for 10 seconds. Anyone breathing the gas must make an HT roll. On a failure, the character is
afflicted by choking for seconds equal to his margin of failure. On a critical cailure, or on a failure by 5 or
more, the character also takes 4d toxic damage.
Thunder Hydra: The hydra can create electrical discharges like an electric eel! Outside of the water, this
manifests as a 2d Burning aura, that treats metalic DR as DR 1, and that affects anyone touched by the Hydra,
and anyone who touches the hydra (including by striking it with metalic weapons). Those Those grappled
suffer damage every turn, at the beggining of the hydra's turn, but swallowed are not affected by it!. In the
water though, this affects all targets within 4 yards, dealing 1d damage per second, but ignoring all DR. In all
cases, anyone damaged by the aura must make an HT roll, at -1 per two points of penetrating damage, or be
stunned.
Elder Hydra: The Hydra is a thing from Beyond! Seeing it’s horrific, mind bending appearance requires a
fright check at -5. Also, each head has an independent mind, and can use it, instead of attacking, to use a
Psionic ability from Dungeon Fantasy 14: Psi. Select two abilities from Madness, Mind Blast, Mind Control,
Mind Stab, Psychic Sensitivity, Psychokinetic Lash and Pyrokinetic Bolt, and raise them to their max level.
The Hydra also gains Energy Reserve (Psi) 30, Psi Talent 10, and Innate Attack (Gaze)-16 (before accounting
for the bonus from Psi Talent). It might also have “beards” of twisting tentacles on each head.
Hydra Amalgamation: This hydra has mixed blood. Pick any number of lenses and apply them to it.
It
The "They" (plural of "It"), are the ultimate rulers of the Red, and the archetypal embodiment of evil in the
multiverse. Their goal is to topple the Dark Tower which serves as the lynchpin of time and space, destroying
the multitude of universes which revolve around it so that the creatures can rule in the primordial chaos
which follows.
The "They" are the bastard offspring of Arthur Eld, a legendary gunslinger, and the Crimson Queen, a
demonic creature of the Prim – the chaotic primordial void from which the Dark Tower, and all universes,
arose. With the aid of the wizard Maerlyn, the Crimson Queen took on human form and deceived Arthur Eld
to achieve this union and generate the creatures called "They".
The They are powerful and mysterious entities that force others to do their bidding and are behind the
destruction of the beams that hold up the Dark Tower which holds reality and all of the universes together.
"They" are quite insane and their intentions are not quite clear beyond that they wish to destroy the Tower
and possibly rule the darkness that would follow. These creatures rule from the lands of Discordia.
These creatures take many forms in their life. A horned, red-skinned monster called Satan, a handsome,
blonde man, a creature the men are unable to see properly, (his true form cannot be comprehended by
human beings), an old man with white hair and one fang, a monstrous entity with spiderlike characteristics, a
bald man with a large tusk or horn on his head. "They" are shapeshifters; these creatures take the form most
terrifying to whoever confront them.
They have one defining characteristic: their blood red eyes, which fascinate anyone who looks into them.
They fade in and out of view due to their transcendent magical powers. These creatures prefer to work from
behind the scenes. They employ other people to do his bidding, as well as numerous supernatural beings,
including vampires, low men, and taheen.
There are few "They". The more infamous is the Crimson King.

Dream-Weaving: It can manipulate what others think they see and hear. After concentrating, It rolls IQ+2 vs
the target's will. Success allows it to control what they see and hear. Its illusions may be anything, but they
cannot directly harm the target (an illusion of an arrow striking him does no damage), and they still have
control over their body. They can always choose to ignore what they see and hear and “fight blind.” Thus, It
chooses to create subtle illusions, so the target doesn't realize he's being tricked.
Reality Rewrite: The world does not work around the It as it should. Everything that can go wrong, does go
wrong. The monster gains Serendipity 3 (Wishing) and Extraordinary Luck (Wishing), which allows It to
force any roll in his presence to be rerolled twice, with It choosing the result he likes best, once every thirty
minutes of gameplay, and It may have three “lucky” events occur in its favor whenever It wishes, and in
whatever form It wishes.

Madness: The monster utters a dark word or unveils its real form as an attack action, and everyone within 8
yards must make a Will Roll -4 to resist. For every yard between themselves and the monster, add +1 to their
roll as the distance between them keeps them safe. Furthermore, only those who see or hear (choose one
when creating the monster) are affected. Those who fail are being knocked into catatonia.
Hypnotic Eyes: 3 times per day, the Killing Joke can attempt to control the mind of another who can sees his
eyes. This is Mind Control. Concentrate, and then roll IQ +2 vs the Target's will. If the Killing Joke wins, he
can control his target for one minute per point he won the quick contest by. Incapacitation or forcing the
target to do something they would not (such as violating a Sense of Duty) forces another Quick Contest.
Corrupting Touch: The Killing Joke imparts a lethal entropic energy that slowly dissolves the target. Inflict
4d toxic damage and the target must make a HT roll or suffer an immediate Follow Up of 2d toxic damage,
that also cycles every minute for the next ten minutes. Esoteric Healing (Holy) will purge the victim of the
taint that besets him.

Kuchisake-Onna
Children walking alone at night may encounter a woman wearing a surgical mask, this is not an unusual sight
in Japan as people wear them to protect others from their colds or sickness. The woman will stop the child
and ask, 'Am I beautiful?' If the child answers no, he/she is killed with a pair of scissors which the woman
carries. If they answer yes, the woman pulls away the mask, revealing that her mouth is slit from ear to ear
and asks 'Am I beautiful now?'. If the child answers no, he/she will be cut in half. If he/she answers yes, then
she will slit his/her mouth like hers. It is impossible to run away from her, as she will simply reappear in
front of the victim.
When the legend reappeared in the 1970s rumors of ways to escape also emerged. When she asks you, you
must say that she is pretty two times in a row, so that she will become confused and her victim can escape
while she is lost in thought. Some sources say she can also be confused by answering her question with,
rather than yes or no, "You are average." Unsure of what to do, she will give you enough time to escape.
Another escape route is to tell her you have a previous engagement; she will pardon her manners and excuse
herself from your presence. In some variations of the tale, she can be distracted by throwing fruit or sweets at
her which she will pick up, thus giving the victim a chance to run. One other way is to ask her if you are
pretty; she will get confused and leave.

Larva Wizard
When a powerful evil spellcaster dies, his spirit sometimes takes control of the wriggling mass of worms and
maggots devouring his corpse. This mass of vermin rises as a larva mage to continue the spellcaster’s dark
schemes or to seek revenge against those who slew him.
The Larva Wizard can become a swarm of maggots that is dispersed by injury equal to your HP. The
dispersed swarm is effectively “unconscious” and unable to act in concert. A determined foe might contain
and continue to damage your dispersed bodies, though. Should it reach -HP, enough of its bodies have been
killed to dissociate its consciousness and kill it! It can filter or flow through the tiniest of holes. In addition to
the normal benefits of Diffuse, it can ooze through porous barriers and narrow cracks and keyholes

Licker
The name "Licker" was given to this creature by the officers at the Raccoon City Police Department for their
incredibly long tongues.
The most striking changes that occur when a zombie, normally in the transition from a Crimson Head to a
Licker, are the exposed brain tissue, an increase in muscle development, and the total loss of skin. Because of
the lack of skin-constraint and the development of muscular tissue, the Licker is very agile, capable of
performing surprising jumps to incredible heights and distances and moving much more rapidly. Their
quadrupedal bone structure makes it more suitable for them to crawl about on all fours. The Licker also uses
its talons to scale vertical structures and ceilings with ease. This allows the creature to use predatory tactics to
surprise their prey. These new hunting strategies also showcase its increased primal intellect. Finally, its
elongated tongue is shown to be enormously powerful, capable of piercing human flesh and often being used
to decapitate its prey. Although naturally quiet and a master of ambushes, the presence of a Licker can often
be hinted at by the sound of their raw flesh and claws scraping against whatever surface they happen to be
crawling along, as well as a sibilant hissing sound. When attacking or incurring damage, a Licker will also
make a variety of screeching sounds, producing a particularly agonized scream when killed.
Lickers have lost the use of their eyes entirely and cannot track prey by sight. Their super developed hearing
however more than compensates for the loss. Upon detecting potential prey it will attack full force with
teeth, tongue and claws, often alerting others of its kind in the vicinity as well. Weapons that emit very little
sound, such as the bowgun, are especially useful against these blind B.O.W.s.

Many-In-One
Although they closely resemble (and can interbreed with) the brown Norway rat, the rats of the Many-In-
One can climb sheer walls, walk on ceilings, and chew through steel. At full extension, their jaws open up
along half their body length, full of chiselsharp, plague-carrying teeth. (Unlike a true rat swarm, a Many-In-
One swarm does cutting damage.) Many-In-One seldom bothers taking human form, although Cabalists
fighting the Algiers Infestation in 1599 reported some individuals up to five feet tall on hind legs, using
swords. The statistics below are for a single Algiers Many-In-One, grown to human size. For each additional
human mass, IQ should increase by one point.

Cowardice (12 or less); Sadism (12 or less)
*Body of Swarm: the creature can become a swarm (p. B461) of gnat- to rat-sized bodies. This moves at its
best applicable Move; can bite, sting, etc. for thrust crushing damage for its ST; and is dispersed by injury
equal to your HP. A dispersed swarm is effectively “unconscious” and unable to act in concert. A determined
foe might contain and continue to damage its dispersed bodies, though. Should it reach -HP, enough of its
bodies have been killed to dissociate your consciousness and kill it!
Humanoid Form: it can assemble its component bodies into any vaguely manlike form, giving it a limited
ability to “morph” (although it won’t pass close inspection).
Scatter: it can scatter its component bodies by taking a Concentrate maneuver; its outer perimeter travels at
your best applicable Move. its constituent bodies can communicate instantly and work in a coordinated
fashion over a half-mile radius. While scattered, only area-effect, cone, and explosion attacks can injure it,
and only in proportion to the area they blanket; e.g., an attack that covers just 5% of its area does 5% of its
normal damage. It can focus its senses on any point within your area; changing viewpoints requires a Ready
maneuver. Otherwise, treat this state as Insubstantiality (p. B62) if you can.
Rat Bites (19): 2d+1 cut, Reach C. The rats that make up the body of the Many-In-One bite frantically the
bare body parts of the enemy. The rats can strike up to 6 enemies at a once.
Terror (Will-3): the repulsive sight of the twisting Many-In-One causes its victims to make a Will-3 roll, or
they must run away.
Marilith
Terrible to behold, these creatures have the bodies of giant snakes, with huge, green, scaly coils. From the
waist up, they are beautiful, comely females. Besides her obvious snake body, the feature that reveals the true
nature of this tanar'ri is her six arms. They are commonly adorned with precious jewelry and highly
decorated weapons-marilith most often carry a different weapon in each of their six hands.
They cast on themselves Great Haste and become invincible. When they are defeated, they cast Panic against
their enemies to escape

Coils (20): the Marilith kills its enemies by crushing them with its coils. It has ST 35
Dream-Weaving: the monster can manipulate what others think they see and hear. After concentrating, it
rolls 22 vs the target's will. Success allows it to control what they see and hear. Its illusions may be anything,
Thus, the Marilith chooses to create subtle illusions, so the target doesn't realize he's being tricked

Medusa
In Greek mythology Medusa was a Gorgon, a chthonic monster, and a daughter of Phorcys and Ceto. The
author Hyginus, (Fabulae, 151) interposes a generation and gives Medusa another chthonic pair as parents.
When she gazes directly upon a person, it turns into stone. She was beheaded by the hero Perseus, who
thereafter used her head as a weapon[4] until he gave it to the goddess Athena to place on her shield. In
classical antiquity the image of the head of Medusa appeared in the evil-averting device known as the
Gorgoneion.

arrows makes its bow more and more deadly
Coils (18): the Medusa envelopes its enemies with its coils, as though she has ST 21
Flaying Touch: the Medusa rends skin and sends fire coursing along nerves in this devastating attack. Ideal

comfortable. Inflict darkness on an area up to 32 yards around the Medusa (generally, an entire room),
enough to inflict a -4 on all rolls regarding vision
Minotaur
In Greek mythology, the Minotaur, was a creature with the head of a bull on the body of a man or, as
described by Roman poet Ovid, "part man and part bull". He dwelt at the center of the Cretan Labyrinth,
which was an elaborate maze-like construction designed by the architect Daedalus and his son Icarus, on the
command of King Minos of Crete. The Minotaur was eventually killed by the Athenian hero Theseus.
"Minotaur" was originally a proper noun in reference to this mythical figure. The use of "minotaur" as a
common noun to refer to members of a generic race of bull-headed creatures developed much later, in 20th-
century fantasy genre fiction.

Ogre Magi
Ogre magi can perform the following feats of magic: fly (for 12 turns), become invisible, cause darkness in a
10-foot radius, polymorph to a human or similar bipedal creature (4 feet to 12 feet tall), and regenerate one
hit point per round (lost members must be reattached to regenerate). Oriental ogres attack with magic first
and resort to physical attacks only if necessary.
In battle, ogre magi prefer the naganata (75%) or scimitar and whip (25%). Those found in oriental settings
might (25%) possess ki power or have mastered a martial arts form. As ogre magi are intelligent, they will not
fight if faced with overwhelming odds, but will flee to gather their forces or hide.
These monsters live in fortified dwellings or caves and foray to capture slaves, treasure, and food. These
monsters are extremely protective of their young and will battle with savage abandon to save one's life. If a
young ogre mage is captured, these creatures will pay high ransom for its return, but they will seek revenge
and will never forget the insult of the kidnaping.
If encountered in their lair, ogre magi will be led by a chief of great strength. Treasure is divided by this chief
and his trove is always the richest. The tribe will have their own clan symbol typical to the oriental lands,
and this symbol will be stitched on its war banners and flags as well as on armor and headdresses. The chief
will often have the tribe's symbol tattooed on his forehead or back.
Ogre magi speak the human tongue, their own special language, and the speech of normal ogres.

Pink Rabbit
Pink Rabbit is an example of what happens when good cartoons go bad. Or he would be, if he had ever been a
good cartoon character to begin with. The Pink Rabbits appeared in only one animated short made in 1942,
condemned as thè "most foul, disgusting, and offensive piece of filth ever put on film!" by critics. That review
might be dismissed as a product of more puritanical times, except that Rabbit's oniy film, Mayhem Madness,
features nothing but the Rabbit performing mindless acts of depravity on-screen.
The Pink Rabbit was created in thè late 1930s, in thè golden age of animation. His creator, the italian Mirko
Billone, worked for many different studios, but never really carne up with anything on his own. His ideas
were too strange, even obscene, to be used in films. He was fired from one job after his employer saw his
doodles of thè company's star characters performing acts of a dubious nature.
He worked on his pet project in secret at his nextjob, after hours. He painstakingly created an animated short
starring his own creation, the Pink Rabbit. After a few years of furtive work, Billone used his own savings to
rent an old theater and invited his current and former employers as well as prominent movie critics to watch
thè premiere. He promised them an animated movie they'd never forget.
He delivered. Not 10 seconds into thè show, the Pink Rabbit had already disgusted and offended thè viewing
audiences with acts of senseless violence and gratuitous depravity that left more then a few of thè viewers
vomiting, some in a faint, and nearly all scarred for life.
The Rabbit never got a mainstream following as a cartoon. Having spent all his money in thè production,
Billone was now broke. He sold off all his equipment except for a projection camera, which he used to watch
his beloved movie night after night. Mirko Billone would remain in thè shadows of animation's greats... until
thè murders.
One by one, thè people who had lambasted his movie at its premiere died in bizarre ways. One movie critic
had his head caved in with an anvil. A studio executive had his head blown off with dynamite that was
stuffed in his mouth. Mirko's wife, son, and last employer, who had ali been at thè premiere, were found
stuffed inside a single small trash bin, mangled beyond recognition.
Though no fingerprints were found, thè trail of victims led back to Mirko, and thè methods of execution
matched thè antics of the Pink Rabbit in Mirko's movie. Mirko Billone was arrested and tried in 1944, and
was declared incompetent to stand trial when he insisted he was innocent of thè crimes, and that his own
creation, the Pink Rabbits, had somehow come to life and wreaked vengeance on those who had denied him
his chance at stardom. Mayhem Madness was screened by psychological experts, who declared that it was
proof thè man was insane, expressing his twisted fantasies through his films, then living them out when his
movie was a failure. Mirko spent thè rest of his life institutionalized; he died in 1966, still insisting he was
innocent. Which was thè truth.
When he claimed the Rabbit was real, Mirko wasn't crazy (or at least, not to thè point of delusion). The
Rabbit is a real being, brought to life by Mirko's movie, a living embodiment of Mirko's twisted visions and
demented fantasies. Buddhist lore might call him a Tulpa, a thought-form, except that the Rabbit can't
become more human, nor does he want to. He wants to have fun thè only way he knows how. He also wants
to be popular. He'd kill to be famous.
The Rabbit first leapt from thè movie screen one evening, after Mirko had fallen asleep watching Mayhem
Madness. He leafed through Mirko's address book, and began offing thè people who had ruined his big debut,
one by one. Mirko did catch him returning one late evening, but when he ran to embrace his creation, the
Rabbit cuffed him on thè head and told him to stay out of his way. Thè human had been necessary for his
creation, but now the Rabbit feit independent. But when Mirko was arrested, the Pink Rabbit found himself
a prisoner in thè unwatched movie for years.
The Rabbit was quite pleased when a few of thè institution's orderlies found his movie and loved it. He
became an underground sensation; he finally had an audience who loved him and watched him regularly
enough to satisfy his craving for attention. Sometimes, when he felt that a particular audience was twisted or
perverted enough, he even left his movie screen to interact with them directly.
But now, with thè Internet becoming so popular, the Rabbit's audience is dwindling. He's now afraid he'll be
forgotten again, locked up inside his movie can and left in a Storage closet forever. And when the Pink
Rabbit's afraid, he gets angry.
The Rabbit's killings to date have been focused on people his fans dislike. He has come up with an idea to
save himself, however. If thè Intemet is thè new medium of chioice, then maybe it can give him a new
chance for woridwide stardom.
He's no fool; he knows he has no chance of being put on TV or in mainstream theaters. But if any kind of
expression goes online, this will create new entities, with the same powers of the Pink Rabbit...

Prayer Wolf
Thè prayer wolves hunt desperate people. When a person's hopes, dreams or wishes become urgent, a pack of
prayer wolves may arrive. Thè wolves first appear in thè distance, in thè peripheral vision of their prey, or
silhouetted on thè horizon. Within a few hours, however, they will be in full view.
Prayer wolves are slightly larger than normal wolves. Their coats are jet black (except in snowy settings
where they are silvery white). Thè pack can number as few as five or as many as 25 (roll 4d+1). They are
always slavering and growling. During a chase, they bark and foam at thè mouth.
Normally, thè pack's prey is a single person, thè one whose prayers and desperation summoned thè wolves. If
those prayers and feelings are intimately shared by others, all of them are considered "prey." Thè rest of
humanity is safe as long as it does not attack – outsiders who oppose thè wolves instantly become prey as
well.
Prayer wolves will only hunt and attack people who meet these requirements. Thè wolves can close in for thè
kill only when their prey is looking at them. Staring at a prayer wolf as it charges forward will allow it to
strike. If their prey is able to look away, thè wolves stop in their tracks, frustrated and hungry. Each time
their prey looks at them, they get closer. This limitation ends once a prayer wolf touches its prey.
They have other powers and weaknesses. They heal 1 hit point per minute. A single attack worth four times
thè wolfs current hit points is needed to kill one permanently. Reducing a prayer wolfs HT below 0 only
leaves thè creature unconscious until its HT heals to 1.
They will not forcibly enter any sealed area. As a result, their prey is safe inside a house as long as all doors
and windows are closed.
Thè prayer wolves cannot cross water during daylight hours. If any member of thè pack is killed or separated
from thè rest for more than ten minutes, it will fade into nothingness, never to return. Thè entire pack will
fade once their prey has died, has given up all hope of having his prayer fulfilled, or has not looked at them
for 50 continuous hours.
Prayer wolves have been attributed to religious sources. In some cultures, they are looked upon as a test for
those who request divine assistance - if thè person survives this ordeal, what he so desperately needs is
granted. Thè GM must decide if this is true. If it isn't, and thè praying person thinks thè wolves were a divine
ordeal, his faith will be severely challenged.
Other cultures explain prayer wolves as a penalty for those who have permanently forsaken God and yet have
thè audacity to ask Him for favors. This is a likely explanation if thè investigators (who have undoubtedly
been permanently tainted by their careers of dealing with thè occult) become prey.
Of course, thè prayer wolves could come from a non-religious source. At least one occultist claims that they
manifest from another dimension; thè portal through which they travel is created by thè emotional
emanations of thè prey. If this is true, perhaps thè creatures can be banished by dimension-spanning spells, or
controlled using tools such as pentagrams.
Adventures with prayer wolves can involve a number of very different elements. Thè terrain of thè hunt will
play a major role, especially if it includes bodies of water. Thè size of thè pack matters if thè prey wants to
fight back - five quick-healing wolves are not much of a threat to a gang of well-armed PCs, but a pack of 25
is. Thè religious aspect can come into play as well; these creatures could be used to justify some much-needed
deus ex machina.

Ghostly Movement: Warp (Accessibility, Only if unobserved; Accessibility, Only places you could

maneuver in combat. Psycho can get anywhere within Move yards, provided that nobody is looking and that
you could have gotten there “the hard way,” given sufficient time. For example, Psycho could move from the
floor of an office into the heating vent above you, with the grate closed behind you, in a second. As a special
effect, any mundane requirements for getting from A to B replace Warp’s usual success roll, and Warp fails if
it can’t meet them; e.g., if it would need a Lockpicking roll, it must know Lockpicking, while if it would have
to unscrew a bolt, you require a wrench. The GM decides whether this is “actual” Warp, some sort of
superspeed, or simply a special effect of being a psycho killer.

Pyramid Head
Pyramid Head, also known as the Red Pyramid Thing, is the name James Sunderland uses in reference to a
monster who is arguably the main antagonist of Silent Hill 2. In Silent Hill: Homecoming, a monster known
as the Bogeyman closely resembles Pyramid Head from Silent Hill 2, which furthers the theory that Pyramid
Head is more than just a mere monster, being that he has multiple incarnations and is frequently associated
with feelings of extreme guilt. He is in both of the Silent Hill films, and appears in other various Silent Hill
media. Pyramid Head is one of the most well-known and iconic monsters in the series.
He is usually portrayed as, at his most basic, a violent monster. A deeper meaning given to him, however,
explains his existence as that of punisher or executioner. He's typically attracted to those who feel an extreme
amount of guilt or have an overwhelming desire for punishment.

Rakshasas are a race of malevolent spirits encased in flesh that hunt and torment humanity. No one knows
where these creatues originate; some say they are the embodiment of nightmares.
Rakshasas stand 6 feet tall and weigh between 250 and 300 pounds. They have no uniform appearance but
appear as humanoid creatures with the bodily features of various cats. Hands whose palms cume backward,
away from the body, seem to be common. All rakshasas wear human clothing of the highest quality.
The Rakshasa is a master of illusion: it makes use of this ability for cheating and killing its enemies. The only
way to defeat a Rakshasa is to take advantage of its weakness for sex. Once it is busy in the sexual activity, it
will forget any enemy

Dream-Weaving: the Rakshasa can manipulate what others think they see and hear. After concentrating, it
rolls 21 vs the target's will. Success allows it to control what they see and hear. Its illusions may be anything,
Thus, most Rakshasa choose to create subtle illusions, so the target doesn't realize he's being tricked
Path Breaking: the monster reaches out and shatters the tenuous ties of space that bind reality together,
Madness: the monster utters a dark word as an attack action, and everyone within 8 yards must make a Will
between them keeps them safe. Furthermore, only those who hear are affected. Those who fail fall into
catatonia
Ravager of Worlds
The Ravagers of Worlds are demons that bring destruction everywhere. They can destroy whole cities.
Weapon-masters in the use of the broadsword, these demons are supernaturally resilient. They have only one
weakness: an amulet, the "Pathir", that is in the remotest lands of the world.

Raven Judge
The Raven Judge loves test the moral principles of its victims. It kidnaps and shuts an unlucky person in a
building or dungeon and puts him in front of a choiche: an easier way, but conflicting with the principles of
the victim, or a deadlier way but observant of his beliefs.
Finally, Judge expresses a judgement: if it is positive, the creature will let go the victim. If it is negative, the
unlucky person will be killed by this horror.

fighter.
Red Cap
Possessed of an unnatural and insatiable hunger, redcaps can often be found roaming the streets in gangs of
four or more, gathering wherever the homeless population does. While they don’t have to subsist on a diet of
human flesh, they do find it particularly tasty – especially the flesh of women and children. Redcaps cannot
swim, and thus avoid areas with large bodies of water like the plague. Like goblins and ogres, redcaps do not
possess a dual-planar nature or a personal glamour to mask their appearance, and therefore are affected by
attacks normally, cannot go to Faerie, and are fairly unattractive. They tend to speak whatever language the
humans in their “territory” speak, often English.
By themselves, redcaps are formidable foes; as groups, they can be downright deadly. A gang of four redcaps
is a fair fight for one to two champions armed with iron weapons, or two to three champions armed only
with normal ones.

Bite (16): 2d cut; Reach C. Additionally, a redcap may extend his jaw like an egg-eating snake; he gains
Appearance (Monstrous) and Cannot Speak, but his bite does 2d+3 impaling at Reach C, 1. Optionally, a
redcap may attempt to grapple its victim instead of biting and letting go; if so it may worry (see below) in
subsequent rounds. A redcap without its jaws extended can only attack the face, neck, torso, or limbs of a SM
0 opponent. One who has his jaws extended may attack any location of a SM 0 opponent!
Kick (14): 1d+1 cr; Reach C, 1.
Punch (16): 1d cr; Reach C.
Worry (–): Redcaps can attempt to worry a target (SM 0 or smaller) after successfully biting him if they
choose, by staying “latched on.” This counts as an attack, but it always hits – simply roll biting damage each
turn.
Improvised Weapon (9): Based on damage 1d/2d; Reach per weapon.
Shadow Casting: This creepy Red Cap drags shadows around it to deepen the darkness, where they feel most
comfortable. Inflict darkness on an area up to 32 yards around the Red Cap (generally, an entire room),
enough to inflict a -4 on all rolls regarding vision. Replace Nightvision with Dark Vision
Riddler

Flustering Riddle (Will-3): the Riddler flusters its enemies with wordplays and messy riddles. The attention
of an adversary is fatally compromised. If its victim misses a Will-3 roll, its attack and defense rolls are a -2
throughout the fight.
Dream-Weaving: the monster can manipulate what others think they see and hear. After concentrating, it
rolls IQ+2 vs the target's will. Success allows it to control what they see and hear. Its illusions may be
blind.” Thus, the Riddler chooses to create subtle illusions, so the target doesn't realize he's being tricked
Luck Shifter: the Riddler can rewrite chance to a limited degree. Once per 30 minutes of game play, it may
force any roll (its own or others made it its presence) to be rerolled twice, and it chooses the roll it likes the
most. It can use this to force others to fail, or to force itself to succeed. It may not use its power against people
that know its name
Wild Magic: the Riddler uses its magic innately, calling on its ancestral heritage. Three times per session, it
may cast any single spell, regardless of prerequisites or capability, by rolling IQ + Magery. It must still pay the
appropriate energy costs and spend the appropriate time casting
Path Breaking: The Riddler reaches out and shatters the tenuous ties of space that bind reality together,
Grandfather Clock: The monster manipulates time. He may unleash a Malediction upon anyone he wishes by
rolling Will (penalized by distance as normal), which the target resists with IQ (IQ-1 for Decelerate). If the
target fails, the monster may inflict Accelerated Time Rate 1, Decelerated Time Rate 1, or Paralysis on his foe.
He may do this as often as he wishes, but he may only have one such effect active at a time. To start a new
effect, he must end a previous effect (Thus, a monster who has first paralyzed someone and now wishes to
Accelerate someone else must first release the paralyzed target)
Road Ghost
A Road Ghost rises when a person gives a tribute to the road (for example, a driver that run over many
cyclists). At the end of any summer, when the vacationers go home, a beutiful man/woman stands on the
roadside and hitches a ride. Inside the motor vehicle, it talks the driver about the failures of his life, driving
him to suicide.
Only if it is threatened, the Ghost turn itself in the deadly giant totally made up of scrap.
The Road Ghost has two forms.

Crushing Grasp (16): the Road Ghost attacks grabbing the enemies with both the hands and crushing the

Trampling (14): 10d cr, Reach C
Rockworm
Found in rocky terrain (canyons, ridges, mountains), especially near volcanic or seismic activity, rockworms
are earthworm-like creatures the size of cattle. They have short, thick bodies; rough, stubbly skin that can
turn small-arms fire, and a maw that can rip a man to shreds.
Rockworms do not typically engage in combat; they are timid, busy creatures, their single-minded brains
concerned with little else but tunneling through miles of tasty rock. They use their super-hard teeth to
burrow at a shocking rate of 1 yard per second, leaving behind a trail of pulverized gravel streaked with what
looks like wet sand, the entire mass leeched of vital mineral nutrients. Their usual tendency to avoid other
living things dangerously reverses when seismic or volcanic activity occurs nearby. At first (often due to a
mild tremor, undetectable to unaided humans), they just get edgy, and begin to cluster together and move to
the surface. When the activity reaches the level a human can detect, the rockworms are there, ready to madly
kill anything that isn’t a rockworm.
In combat, a rockworm has the stats given above (rockworms can “sprint” at Move 3 for short periods, but
rarely bother except when crazed by tremors). All rockworm attacks are bites to grapple, treated as both an
attack and a grapple. Once a victim is successfully bitten, he is held fast, even if DR is not penetrated (and DR
is halved vs. rockworm bites). Effective grappling ST for contests is 20; multiple humans can add their ST
together to pull out a friend. A humansized victim who isn’t pulled free will be sucked inside in 1d+1 turns.
Once inside, damage is doubled. When a swallowed victim has taken HT´6 total damage, he is expelled in a
messy spray from the opposite end of the rockworm. Some rockworms have been known to deliberately aim
this spray at foes to blind them (treat this as an attack with reach 4 and no penalty to hit the face, due to the
width of the jet). Being sprayed by a comrade’s churned remains tends to demoralize (although this rarely
fazes a black op): make a Fright Check at -5. Rockworms are numerous; fortunately, their tactics are terrible.
The nearly blind (Vision rolls succeed only on an unmodified 3 or 4) worms sense vibrations at up to 20
yards. They then move to what they sensed and eat it.
Other Notes: Rockworms were discovered when a group of geologists went missing a few years ago. Only one
made it back to base, and she was in bad shape. A black op squad intercepted her radioed call for help. When
they showed up, she was dead from massive trauma to all major organs. Subsequent investigation led to an
epic battle with a den of rockworms.
The largest rockworm nest uncovered to date was, curiously, far from normal volcanic or seismic activity, in
the rocky hills near the Khyber Pass (Pakistan end), with no less than 117 rockworm bodies accounted for
when the carnage was done. The clean-up and cover-up mission was among the most inconvenient and
unsettling in Company history, requiring not only considerable favor-taking with the Pakistani military, but
over 3,000 lbs. of curry. The beasts were driven into combat frenzy not by natural vibrations, but by sonic
devices planted by the Greys. Company scientists theorize that the actual limit to rockworm size is much
greater than the encounters to date would suggest, possibly ranging up to 6 tons. If such rockworms exist,
they probably never approach the surface world. They would do 10d cutting damage, but burrow at lower
speeds (perhaps 16 yards per hour).

dark auguries of their witches, shadar-kai move secretly to accomplish ruinous ends, destroying any heroes or
kingdoms that stand in their way.
A shadar-kai resembles a human but has gray skin and eyes that are lustrous black orbs, like a raven’s. The
shadows around it seem to deepen as it moves. A shadar-kai prefers loose dark garments, often with complex
but subtle designs. Hair is worn long, sometimes loose, other times elaborately shaved, styled, and/or braided.
A shadar-kai’s skin always has patterns of tattoos and scarifications, as well as many piercings. Shadar-kai
prefer light, exotically shaped weapons. Shadar-kai fight without concern for their own wellbeing, believing
that death is foretold at birth and cannot be avoided.
A group of 4-6 Shadar-Kais has a Raven Hag (see above) as Patron and commander. They are fanatically loyal
to the referential Hag.

Siege Beast
These gigantic, stooped brutes are stupid, ill-tempered, and completely loyal to the dark forces that control
whatever dungeon they’re found in. Their purpose in life is to tow siege engines and guard gateways. They
wade into battle with a massive hammer like a meat tenderizer riveted to one hand and steel bands nailed
directly to their leathery hide. Although it looks like an automaton, fortunately for delvers, siege beasts,
inside the armor, are flesh-and-blood creatures, not constructs, and thus are subject to poison, strangulation,
and blows to vital areas.

Slaad
As creatures of pure entropy, slaads exist to create disorder. Their hold on reality is tenuous at best. Their
thoughts are clouded with maddening images, they seem aware of things beyond other creatures’ perceptions,
and they attack without provocation.
Slaads propogate by planting embryos in their victims. As each embryo grows, the host creature succumbs to
madness. Left untreated, the embryo transforms into a slaad tadpole that burrows out of its host’s skull,
killing the host in the process. For this reason, most other intelligent creatures loathe and fear slaads.
A slaad tadpole matures into a full-sized adult slaad (of a random type) in 1d + 3 days. Until then, it feeds on
whatever small prey it finds.

within 2 yards of the target takes 1d burning damage. Even on a miss, the target might take some burning
damage from the explosion (Roll for scatter)
Vampiric Aura: everyone within a 2 yard radius of the Slaad loses 1 HP per turn, which increases the Slaad
HP by a similar amount.

Slaver Dog
Slaver dogs look like normal dogs, but they are intelligent and evil. They can control humans by making
them afraid of everything outside a specific, confined location. Thè victim is effectively caged by his fear,
with a slaver dog as his warden. A slaver dog might have thè appearance of a known dog breed, or might look
like a mutt. They are commonly encountered in thè forms of wary and disciplined breeds such as mastiffs or
half-wolf malamutes. They drool when they are hungry, frothing at thè mouth if they go too long without
food. They are carnivores; they crave fresh flesh and blood. They are smart but suffer thè disadvantages of
normal dogs: they do not have opposable thumbs and they cannot speak. Some are smart enough to read,
however, and they understand human speech. If there are several slaver dogs in a single community or area,
they will fight for leadership. Typically, thè oldest (and largest) slaver dog becomes thè leader. If thè leader is
particularly bright, it will get thè others to cooperate in protecting each other... and in exploiting their
human slaves better. A single slaver dog can have up to ten victims. It must make eye contact with a human,
then win a Contest of Wills, to induce paranoia. A slaver dog's Will is equal to its current number of hit
points. If it has more than two victims, all of them have thè same set of boundaries, or cage. With one or two
victims, each victim has his own cage. People in thè same cage can pool their resources to either support or
fight their canine master. Cages range in size from a single hex to a small community. Thè Game Master
determines exactly where thè border is located. Possible cages include a house, a room, thè lot on which thè
victim's house is located, a residential block, a park, an island, thè cellar or one floor of a building, or thè
interior of a vehicle. Even if thè physical manifestation of thè border is removed (thè wall of a house is torn
out, for example), thè border remains. Thè slaver dog can expand or retract thè border at will, at a rate of ten
percent of thè total original area per hour. Thus, a cage that is 100,000 square feet in size can expand or
contract by 10,000 square feet an hour. Thè captive can sense this alteration, though he may not know why
or how it is changing. Any victim who is threatened with thè prospect of moving outside his cage must make
a Fright Check at +3. If thè move actually occurs, he will become Paranoid, and makes all Fright Checks at -4
until he returns. This effect is permanent until thè slaver dog is killed.
Prisoners inside thè cage can think clearly. Some try to devise an escape. Others are overcome with fear of
thè outside world and consider their prison to be a sanctuary, even a blessing. Most captives quickly deduce
that thè dog is responsible for their situation. These people realize that, if thè dog is killed, their cage will
vanish. This idea terrifies them, and most will defend their slaver dog masters. Thè few who do not discover
thè origin of their fear may search in vain for thè cause, or simply decide to live with their fate regardless of
thè explanation.
Victims travel outside their cages only when they must. A subject may, for example, use friends or relatives to
bring food from thè outside world. He will always try to devise a reasonable explanation for his confinement.
If he attracts too much attention to his circumstance, his master thè dog may force him outside thè cage or
punish him. If a slaver dog accompanies a hostage outside thè cage, thè paranoia and Fright Check penalties
may not surface. Thè two beings must stay within 2 yards of one another. Thè dog can suspend thè effect at
any time, instantly making thè person Paranoid until he returns to his cage. This is thè most common method
for a human to discover that thè dog is supernatural. This also makes him more protective of thè dog.
When a slaver dog dies, thè cages around its prisoners begin to shrink at thè maximum rate, eventually
contracting to one hex. One hour later, thè one-hex cage disappears, exposing thè victim inside to thè world.
Thè Paranoia and Fright Check penalties take effect immediately, and last 1d days. Some people can be
drugged until thè effects subside. Others suffer through it. A rare few will break down during this time and
become permanently insane or catatonic.
Once per year, a slaver dog will give birth to a litter of two to 12 pups. Thè slaver dog must first consume a
feast of at least 200 pounds of fresh flesh. Thè dog becomes bloated and immobile.
After thè birth, it returns to its normal appearance, but it is larger than before. If thè slaver dog was a medium
sized breed (a pit bull, for example), it will now be a large dog (about thè size of a wolf). Any wolf-sized
slaver dog that gives birth will grow to thè size of thè largest dogs (such as Irish wolfhounds).
Subsequent increases are less dramatic. But any slaver dog that survives past thè wolfhound stage becomes too
big to be mistaken for a natural hound. By thè fourth birth after wolfhound size, it is as big as a compact car.
Slaver dogs do not live longer than normal dogs, so thè maximum size is about equal to a large van. Large
slaver dogs have thè appropriate ST, HT, Move and damage.
Beyond that size, extend thè range. A van-sized slaver dog, for example, might have a ST of 20 and a HT of
30. Larger slaver dogs can also grow smarter, possibly due to their greater experience.
Large slaver dogs stay out of sight, roaming only at night They might use their unnatural size to intimidate
people, but only when thè encounter is isolated. These large creatures also need large places to sleep and hide
- as they grow larger, they will locate and secure these locations. Old slaver dogs become fetid and disgusting
before they die. Their decomposition starts before death. A dead slaver dog rots quickly, within an hour of its
death. Thè size of a slaver dog and thè nature of its captives will define thè adventures in which they are
used. Large slaver dogs will be hidden, but might be encountered roaming in forests or alleys at night.
Victims can be secretly plotting to escape thè slaver dog's control, its willing slaves, or a combination of thè
two. Their occupations and skills will make a difference when they seek outside aid or try to defend their
masters. Another factor is thè role of thè dog – watchdog, lap dog, show dog, sled-puller, drug-sniffer, police
dog, wild dog, hunting dog, etc. Each of these roles provides a wide number of plot choices.

Terror Hound
Terror hounds combine the build of a dire wolf, the heavy fur of a chow and the color and disposition of a
mishandled Doberman. They are almost never encountered in the wild. They are used by certain government
and military agencies for security, espionage, and assassination. Information about their origin, utilization and
training (rumored to require a handler with Antipsi power) is highly classified; penalties for unauthorized
knowledge about them range from limited mindwipe to summary execution, depending on the data and
organization involved. The listed damage is the hound's bite, but its main attacks are psionic.
The hound uses Mind Control to project fear and malice, causing the subject to make a Fright Check. The
hound can also "bark" a psionic attack to stun an opponent.
The hound uses Mind Reading to watch the subject's reactions and "tailor" further Mind Control for
maximum effect.
The amount by which the hound makes its roll to enter the subject's mind is applied as a penalty to the
subject's Fright Checks, until contact is broken. It uses Mind Control to force cooperation, making the subject
open doors, turn off alarms, throw away weapons, jump out windows, etc. The hound's intelligence prevents
it from instructing controlled persons to do anything too complex for an IQ 6 untrained animal (of course,
rumors of the hound's abilities may far exceed this limit).
Terror hounds can be used both singly and in packs. They can be sent to seek and destroy a certain victim,
both by scent and psionic brain patterns.

The Brood
The Brood are a race of insect-like, parasitic, extraterrestrial beings. The Brood possess wings, fanged teeth
and a stinging tail. They have a hive mentality and mindlessly follow a queen. To reproduce, they must infect
other races with their eggs.
Despite their resemblance to insects, the Brood have endoskeletons as well as exoskeletons. Also unlike
insects, they have fanged jaws instead of mandibles. Their skulls are triangular and flat, with a birthmark
(such as the battle axe which is most common in broodlings but are different for each Brood) between their
large eyes. Their two front legs are actually long tentacles they can use to manipulate objects.
Due to their natural body armor and teeth, the Brood are very dangerous in combat. In addition, they have
stingers that can deliver either paralyzing or killing poison.
The parasitic Brood have the ability to impregnate a host (of any lifeform) with an egg, making them
somewhat similar to Aliens from the Fox franchise. When the embryo is grown, the host becomes a Brood,
and is effectively dead.
They use a hive mind to pass memory to their hosts, which also passes an individual's knowledge, given to a
broodling, to the hive and back to the queen, meaning newborn brood know what any member of a race
knows. Until the embryo gains the host's body the embryo can only gain temporary control of the host, often
without the host noticing as the host is unaware when it loses control.
If the host possesses any genetic powers, the resultant Brood will inherit them. What happens to the persona
of the host once the Brood is "born" is not clear; it appears that it is extinguished, but in some cases if the will
is enough, it survives and coexists with the Brood's.
Some Brood can switch back-and-forth between their host's form and their true one, even changing into a
hybrid form if they wish.
The Brood are sadistic creatures that enjoy the suffering they intentionally cause others, especially the terror
their infection causes their hosts. They have been compared to "demons".
The Brood have a civilization based on the typical communal insect societies, such as those of the bees and
ants. The Queens are the absolute rulers, while the "sleazoids" do all the work; despite their evil, they never
rebel

The Face & Faceless
In the 1967, the Lieutenant General Bob Barret determines that it is high time one fights the communism
with alternative and unorthodox means. He convenes many of the major wizards of the U.S.A. and put
oneself up for the experiment, that concernes the removal of the brain and the face of many person to
connect them psionically to one major brain (the one of Barret).
Many vietnamese get killed by the men of Barret that remove their brains and faces. Upon the spell, Barret
goes crazy. The resultant creature is the hive mind "Face" and its unnumbered drones, "Faceless". Any
Faceless keeps alive the traits and the skills of the brain. They act as just as they were one creature.
Rumour has it that the communists created anything alike...
The Face and the Faceless in fact are one creature, with full many bodies (Faceless) and only one brain (The

The Grey
Almond-eyed and silent, the Greys are chilling even to contemplate, much less wage a war against. The irony
is, we have images of them everywhere: on the covers of books, on bumper stickers, in movies. Literature has
been devoted to them. They even have fan clubs. It’s all a Company lie, except for the wide eyes and quiet
disposition. They have those, but they aren’t our “space brothers.” We’re animals to them, little more than lab
rats.
The Greys’ mother ship crashed into the Siberian wilderness in 1908, leaving only 1,500 of them alive in their
escape ships (the infamous “foo fighters” reported in both world wars). They are now trapped on Earth. They
want nothing more than to get off this primitive world and head back to their home planet, but Earth’s
technology is sadly lacking. They have been subtly advancing human technology in an effort to spur the
development of FTL space travel before they all die out. The Greys are fully aware of the Company’s
campaign against them, and have been since the 1950s, when an uneasy alliance was developed by Argus and
implemented by the Company: the Greys’ technology and wisdom in exchange for our help with their goal of
escape from our world. This lasted until 1959, when Robert Oppenheimer, in a fit of misguided conscience,
betrayed the existence of the aliens to the military.
Two alien fliers were shot down by Air Force fighters in an ambush over Bryce Canyon. Luckily, black ops
had a few hours’ warning of the betrayal and were able to remove the alien corpses (as well as any usable
technology) and produce three sheepish aviation experts who claimed they had privately developed these
aircraft in an attempt to perpetrate an elaborate hoax; the “hoax” never made it to the public because the
military destroyed the only fliers they had. The Air Force believed them.
The wreckage and the “experts” were snatched up by the Air Force, but the hapless aviators could not
duplicate their amazing fliers, though they tried for years. The public was never told of this, and any records
related to it have long been shredded. (Illustrating the irony of life, the famous Roswell, New Mexico, crash
of 1947 was an elaborate hoax designed by the Company to distract the Air Force from a highly sensitive
operation. It worked.) After the downing, the Greys cut off all relations with Argus and doubled their efforts
in abduction and experimentation. Argus had no choice but to go to war. Oppenheimer, by the way, was
privately discredited and lost his security clearance.
Greys are clearly superior to humans, both physically and mentally. Physically, they are tall and lean, with
compact, muscular frames and surprising agility. They look somewhat lanky, but are unbelievably strong.
Mentally, their intellect reaches far beyond human levels of genius. They are closest to us in terms of physical
hardiness. All things considered, they don’t live much longer than we do, and black ops are doing their best
to make the average Grey lifespan even shorter. A few slugs from a .45 will put one down as easily as they
would a healthy man.
Greys are warm-blooded, bipedal vertebrates. They have two sexes (male and female), and the females bear
young in the womb. They have lungs and a heart, after a fashion. They see in the same visual spectrum as us.
Then we start to run out of similarities with our “space brothers.” A Grey’s face is dominated by two large,
oval eyes with slitted black pupils that form an “X” shape. When he is angry, these flare open to make an
almost square shape. A Grey has no discernable mouth, but his “chin” ends in a large flap of grey skin. His
“ears” are two long, thin, slightly indented membranes where our nose would be.
The Greys communicate in two ways: telepathically and via a kind of pheromonal “note-pad” system. While
Science is researching the latter, it isn’t yet understood at a level that ops in the field find useful. The
Company’s guess is that the Greys are evolved from predators. The human sense of smell is focused in the
nose, and adequate for a species that used to gather fruit to survive; the Greys smell with their entire skin,
and can know hours later if you’ve been in a room just by the smell of it. On operations where Company
telepaths have successfully “jammed” Grey telepathy, the Greys still acted as though they knew what their
companions were thinking, which baffled and frustrated the ops. The reason was pheromones.
The Greys lack the teeth or claws of a predator – in fact,
they lack teeth and fingernails entirely – but the skin
flap on their “chin” folds open to reveal four concentric
rings of acid-producing pustules. They use these to
devour their food, but they can also spit very nasty acid.
They have a predator’s ruthlessness, cunning and
disregard for any life that isn’t them.
With a little tinkering (and without consent), they’ve
proven themselves capable of impregnating human
women. As far as we know, these women haven’t
survived, and no viable offspring have been produced.
Yet.
The Greys are naturally telepathic, and it seems
probable that their pre-sentient ancestors were, too –
perhaps some kind of vicious pack predator,
coordinating attacks through telepathy. Of course, that’s
just speculation. In GURPS terms, Greys have Mind
Control, Mind Probe, Mind Reading, Mind Shield. They
use the standard rules for Telepathy, and can use any telepathic skill, with the following racial modifications:
• The Greys have a complex, image-based telepathic language that humanity can’t generally fathom.
Psi-ops are sometimes more powerful than the Greys, but prying into their skulls is useless when all
you can see is pretty colors and incomprehensible bands of texture and abstraction. Thus, while
human telepathy can find and recognize Grey minds, only a few, specially trained telepaths, the
Grey-readers, can read them.
• The Greys cannot force their way into each other’s minds. This is the principal clue that Grey
telepathy is a longstanding feature of the species. If a Grey doesn’t want to reveal a thought to
another Grey, the other Grey can’t force the issue; their “defenses” against their own style of
telepathy are so instinctive and complete that they aren’t really defenses any more – just the ability
to shut up. This doesn’t prevent human telepaths from looking in (they have to work to do that), but
getting in has been pretty useless so far.
• The Greys can force their way into our minds, but the differences in our thoughts work against them
almost as much as they work against us. Use the normal rules, but skill rolls that succeed by more
than 2 still don’t give up anything but surface thoughts and emotions.
Greys who want to communicate with a human will let him know that he’s being scanned so that he can use
his surface thoughts to talk back. Only basic ideas can be transmitted; even then, communication takes effort.
There is a 50% chance (1-3 on 1d) that any thought exchanged by human and Grey will be gibberish,
regardless of consent. These telepathic “conversations” never exceed the speed of halting, uncertain speech,
and the Greys (who see us as cattle, anyway) are always exceedingly condescending.
The Company does not understand Grey pheromone communication nearly as well as Grey telepathy. That
information was not shared during the brief alliance with Argus, possibly because the Greys consider
pheromone communication to be a crude reminder of their primitive past, and don’t like to talk about it.
In addition to sensing differences in smells with an acuity that rivals a bloodhound, the Greys can selectively
emit odors which have crude symbolism to other Greys. These are persistent, lingering on surfaces and in still
air for days, and lasting hours even in areas with good air circulation.
A Grey pheromonal “note” can convey any non-specific concept that can be summed up in a single English
word. For instance, it could say “food” but it couldn’t say “fruit,” much less “tangerine.” A note could say
“human” or “enemy” but it couldn’t say “black op” or “soldier.” It could say “Flee!” but it couldn’t say “run to
the south.” The GM is left to determine what, exactly, can be communicated. These notes are almost always
undetectable by human senses. Those that are detectable carry a faint smell of cinnamon, a detail that has
crept into the public lore regarding the Greys.
Company scientists have learned that the Greys smell with their
skin, and have even developed odors that are harmful to the Greys,
but deciphering the pheromone language could be a key turning
point in the war. Electronic “noses” could spy on Grey pheromone
communication, and false pheromones could be used to mislead
them. If pheromone communication is somehow the primitive
precursor to the symbolism in the Grey telepathic language, then
understanding the simple code of pheromones could be the
Rosetta stone Company telepaths have been waiting for. All of
these possibilities are on the Science department’s table, but none
have yet borne fruit.
The Company knows the Greys have bases all over the globe (the
American Southwest, the Antarctic ice fields and the red canyons
of Madagascar, to name a few suspected locales), and some rumors
even have them making forays from the dark side of the moon. In
those bases, presumably, are the keys to unraveling the mystery of
Grey culture. So far, they have been impossible to root out. Only a
little is known. The Greys are analytical, systematic, thorough and
inquisitive, but have very little of what we call human emotion. Their ruthlessness and single-mindedness,
combined with their incredible intellect (made even more incredible by their collective, telepathic genius),
have created a society that is best described as antiseptic, impersonal, clinical and uncaring.
There is a pecking order among the Greys, apparently based on strict ratings of intellectual capacity and
reward for good performance. Those in the lower ranks toil. Those in the higher ranks think, live well and
have stimulating work and mating privileges. Competition is fierce and deadly, but entirely dispassionate.
Greys compete because failure means death or a poor quality of life, not because competition inspires them
with passion.
In 1974, a squad operating in Brazil witnessed the Greys feeding. The food was a blue, pearly substance
formed into spheres, apparently created from available animal life by an alien device. The Greys ate in order,
with the higher-ranking aliens eating their fill, then the lower ranks sharing the scraps. At first, the Company
believed that there might be resentment between the ranks that could be exploited, but every attempt along
those lines has failed. Of course, it might help if we could really communicate with them.
What they do for fun (assuming they even understand the concept) is a total mystery, but they do seem to
enjoy their work. No examples of Grey art have ever been seen, although telepaths who have directly
touched Grey minds insist that a great potential for subtle complexity exists in their mental language. It is
possible that all of their art is ephemeral and telepathic. Perhaps the Greys on Earth are simply too busy with
their mission to have time for art, but the Grey home world is an aesthetic paradise. Of course, all of this
applies only to Grey males here on Earth. When the Grey ship crashed in 1908, all of the females were killed.
As a result, we don’t know if the females are the Greys’ natural rulers, second-class citizens used only for
mating, or something in between.
The Greys have two primary motives.
First, they want to breed. The Greys on Earth can’t breed. For reasons related to their breeding cycle, all the
females on board the mother ship were in stasis, and were killed when it crashed. The Greys who survived in
the escape ships were all male. As a result, they are kidnapping and changing humans by the hundreds every
year, and have been experimenting with human females as incubators for the past 90 years in an attempt to
create viable offspring. Their attempts have so far been futile, although in recent years, they have managed to
successfully inseminate several human women with pure Grey genetics. None of the impregnations were
carried to term, and all of the women died from “complications due to miscarriage.”
Second, they want to build a working hyperdrive and leave Earth. To achieve this, they are feeding humanity
technology in order to help us build what they lack the resources to make themselves. Despite the Company’s
best efforts to stop it, there seem to be plenty of people willing to “deal with the devil.” Company operatives
have, on rare missions, observed humans interacting with and helping the aliens. It is not yet known if the
humans are there voluntarily or if they’re being controlled telepathically. It is depressingly likely that some
corporate or governmental organizations are exchanging human slaves for technological secrets, the idea of
which is profoundly disturbing to Argus. Lately, the Company has become very interested in learning the
truth. It is wary of Grey lackeys infiltrating its ranks.
Peripheral to all of this, certain Greys are simply curious, in a very clinical fashion. Many of the experiments
on humans seem to have nothing to do with either of their known goals. This might point to a third,
undetected motive. It might also be their idea of a good time.
There’s one thing we know for sure: the average Grey lifespan is 140 years. Their home planet is 110
lightyears away, and was sent a radio message from the doomed mother ship in 1908. In 2018, the Grey home
planet will receive the message and most likely dispatch a FTL rescue ship, which will arrive a few weeks
later. This means that even if the Greys are unsuccessful in their breeding attempts, some will probably still
survive to greet the rescue ship. We don’t know all the implications of this, but we’re fairly confident that the
alien ship is a lot more likely to just move on if there aren’t any Greys around. This is one more reason why
we want to kill them all.
The Greys are an old (but not ancient) interstellar race. All of their devices are considered to be TL10; see
GURPS Ultra-Tech of TL10 gadgetry.
First, they have an impressive mastery of psi-tech and a baffling array of weapons. Their sensors include
gravscanners, multiscanners and ultrascanners. They also have force screens and deflectors, but these are not
compact: use the rules for TL12 force screens and deflectors in GURPS Space or Ultra-Tech, but any field
generator that weighs less than 25 tons is unavailable; only the big starships have them.
Next, the Greys have the biotechnology to make clones, store living things cryogenically and make
“braintapes” (computerized records of sentient minds to be read into clones or used as the basis for AI
programming). However, very little of this is available to the Greys on Earth. It seems that all working
examples of these delicate technologies were reduced to scrap when the Greys smacked into the planet nine
decades ago.
The simplest of these technologies is cryo-storage, which requires not only hardware but also drugs that the
Greys either haven’t been able to synthesize or haven’t bothered expending their resources on. Certainly, if
the Greys have any working freeze tubes, they hold key Greys, ensuring their survival until the rescue ship
arrives in 2018. Most Grey medical resources are used in the ongoing experiments on mankind.
Finally, the Greys are capable of FTL travel. Grey hyperdrives achieve an average FTL speed of 1 parsec per
day, but this varies somewhat; some parts of the galaxy are frequented by hyperspace storms, or contain
“slow” or “fast” patches of hyperspace. Grey sub-light drives are reactionless, requiring power but not fuel or
reaction mass. Greys do not have FTL “radio” or “radar” of any kind. Hyperspace travel, as far as the Company
knows, has no dangerous physical or psychological side effects, and sidesteps the issue of time dilation. Grey
females might be susceptible to some sort of hyperspace malady, which may be why they were frozen on a
journey only a few weeks away from the home world. Of course, the Greys may have been in the midst of a
much longer journey. Two Grey technologies are described below.
The term “flying saucer” originated in a misquote. In the 1940s, an Air Force pilot who was being
interviewed by a magazine about his encounter with an UFO explained that it moved “like a saucer being
skipped across a lake.” He was quoted as saying he saw a “flying saucer.” In fact, Grey ships do move like
something being skipped across water, but they don’t look much like saucers.
They are more oval than flat, and they have six “legs” spaced evenly about their body that act as landers,
pincers and airfoils for steering. People who have seen Grey ships up close often describe them as “spider-
like,” though after the legs retract into the body
(when they leave Earth, for example), they look
like squashed spheres. The ships fly using what
the techies call a “gravity damper.” The damper
is a large device that hums loudly when active,
and it negates most of the effects of gravity
within a specific area while it’s on. It works in a
cyclic pattern, so when a Grey ship is moving
through the air in a straight line, it seems to
skip in a shallow wave pattern as the damper
kicks in and out. Using high-pressure air jets
and their airfoil legs, the ships maneuver
extremely well.
The Greys have two types of weapons on their
ships. The first (the flashing lights that airman
Johnny Franklin reported to his major) is called
a “scorcher” by the techies, and uses a
concentrated beam of microwaves to superheat objects. Metal objects and living tissue are extremely
susceptible. The second weapon is an antiparticle beam that can blow through ten feet of solid iron.
Fortunately, this only works in a vacuum; it is useless in an atmosphere.
The Grey ships communicate by amplifying psychic energy and transmitting telepathy using radio waves.
They also possess stealth and sensors that would (and do) make human military men weep. All of the ship’s
equipment and weaponry is controlled mentally by the aliens.
The Company has managed to acquire two Grey ships. One is heavily damaged (one of the two shot down by
the Air Force in 1959); the other seems to be in working order. The techies can’t seem to get the thing to
actually fly, but with their experimental psychic amplifiers and their knowledge of the Grey psychic
language, they may make headway soon. Since most of it relies on alien telepathy to function, our existing
stash of Grey technology is useless to us.
The chip is a small implant that the Greys place in abducted humans to monitor them. It’s about the size of a
push-pin and rests just behind the left ear. It is attached to the bone of the upper jaw and can listen in on
anything the subject hears (and believe me, just because we don’t understand their complex thought language
doesn’t mean they haven’t deciphered our simple, vocal one).
The chip is also a tracking device with a range of about 500 miles, accurate to within 10’. We don’t know how
carefully the Greys monitor humans, but they certainly pay more attention to people of power, especially
military officers and political officials. We run routine chip checks on the president and the more important
members of Congress, but we can’t get to everyone. When we find a chip, we have to manufacture some sort
of innocuous affliction, like a nose polyp or tonsillitis, to get the politico into the operating room. The chip is
fairly easy to remove once it’s discovered, and the Greys cannot tell from their monitoring the difference
between a chip’s removal and the victim dying, so they usually don’t investigate right away. All black ops are
checked at least twice a year for chips, and we’re all taught what one feels like. Due to its proximity to major
arteries feeding the brain, it is not recommended that a black op attempt to remove the chip himself.
The Company has done some random sampling and estimated that about ten million humans have been
chipped, mostly in developed countries and most commonly in the U.S., Japan and Russia. About 70% of
chipped humans are fertile women, and we suspect that the Greys are looking for specific signs that certain
women are more likely to be able to carry viable Grey offspring. We don’t yet know what these signs are. In
the past few months, three of the chips removed by Company docs have been slightly different. They are a bit
bigger and have more connections to the surrounding nerve tissue. The rumor around the Science and Tech
departments is that these chips give the Greys some type of limited control over the victim, allowing for
remote hypnotic suggestion. If this is true, then things are a lot worse than we could have imagined.
Throughout the years, a few members of Argus have argued that the chip represents the only real reason for
the Company to go public. Their arguments have not yet persuaded anyone to take action, but the chip
remains one of the Company’s primary concerns.

The Thing
No one knows where they come from. No one knows how many of them there are. And no one knows how
many of us are actually them. Thè scientists have a name for them, six syllables in Latin and four more in
ancient Greek, that no one uses. Everyone else who knows about them simply calls them ... thè Things.
Thè Things exploded into thè Galactic consciousness with what is now called thè Palisade Massacre. Through
means still unknown, one of these savage, sentient predators arrived on thè rimward colony world of Palisade
and began to hunt among thè remote homesteads that dotted thè planet's one settled continent Its viciousness
and single-mindedness quickly betrayed it; as settler after settler dropped off thè planetary datanet, thè
colonial government grew suspicious and dispatched a platoon of mobile infantry to investigate.
Expecting to discover brigands or other human predators raiding thè distant homesteads, thè troops were
initially shocked to discover that instead they were pursing some variety of monster. It was not until thè
fortuitous moment when they came upon thè creature as it fed upon its latest victim that they had any due
what in truth they faced. Half thè platoon perished in thè subsequent battle, but thè creature was defeated,
killed in nud-transformation. Thè survivors bundled thè grotesque body into their transport. Then, stunned
and in traumatic shock, they returned to Bartlett, Palisade's capitol city.
What they didn't know was that much of thè population in thè region had been replaced by thè creature's
offspring.
Before an autopsy had even begun on thè monstrous corpse, rumors had aiready spread through Palisade's
remaining human population and, from there, off-world. Within a week, nearby worids Were demanding to
know what had been found. Thè colonial govemment of Palisade stonewalled for a month, then shared what
it had learned. Twenty-four hours later, thè classified data packet had reached both thè media
and thè interstellar Net. Thè govemment report posed as many questions as it had answered. Thè creature had
been in thè process of changing not only its shape but also its DNA - gene scans of its various parts were
wildly different from each other. Worse yet, it had very clearly been an intelligent being; not only had it
fought thè government troops with sly cunning and an eye toward tactics, but later invesdgation revealed
that it had been moving from homestead to homestead under a variety of guises. A number of witnesses
reported speaking with it, and none had sensed anything amiss about it. Finally, thè hope that it was a one-
of-a-kind bioengineered weapon or a sterile mutant was dashed by thè revelation that the creature had been
about to spawn.
Two weeks later Palisade went silent.
A quarantine at blockade slammed down on thè colony world. Robotic probes revealed thè disturbing truth –
there were no humans left on thè planet, only horrorific shapeshifting creatures like thè one that had been
killed, Thè suspicions about their intelligence proved correct when thè creatures attempted to leave thè
planet using the few spacecraft still remaining at Barflett's one starport. They were destroyed thè moment
they tried to leave thè planet's atmosphere.
At thè end, there was no choice: Palisade was sterilized.
Faced with thè possibility of "Things" on their own worlds, govemments based near thè lost colony set up
crash research programs to find ways to detect and disable thè creatures, as well as combat teams intended to
pursue and terminate them. To date no less than a dozen attempts by the Things on as many planets have
been detected and thwarted.
Sometimes the cost in human lives has been high, but thè fight is for thè survival of thè human race -
sacrifices must be made.
In their naturai form - which shaken witnesses have seen from time to time - thè Things have been likened to
"latex sacks filled with gelatin." Roughly man-sized in height, they are horrifìc greenish-black ellipsoids
whose upper ends are marked by two large eyes and an enormous fanged mouth.
Individuals who see this much rarely live to report it, as thè Things use that maw to attack, and to swallow
prey whole. They normally take a shape with legs in order to move quickly; when in natural form they must
move either inchworm-style or by repeatedly stretching ahead contracting their bodies. If thè Thing have a
name for themselves - indeed, if they even have a native-language - it is unknown.
Move. Kill. Feed. Reproduce. Thè Thing seeks to make thè community one with himself. Although they
appear to be as intelligent as humans, it is believed that their minds work in a dramadcally different way.
Attempts to communicate with them have all failed, even when thè Thing was in a form demonstrated to be
capable of intelligible speech and social interaction; they either maintain their roles or ignore their
interrogatore. They do not "break character" uniess they lose thè shape, either due to environmental
pressures or because of excessive damage.
It appeare from their behavior that they are solipsists to thè point of sociopathy - no one matters to a Thing
other than himself; everyone and everything else, even other Things, exists solely as either tools or food, in
that order. Groups of Things con cooperate when working for a common goal, and can do so even for
extended periods, but in final analysis each one is using thè others, and intends to consume them. They have
no parenting instinct, nor any consistent shared culture.
Even though they are such a cipher to investigators and researchers, some of their racial imperatives can be
deduced from their behavior. First and foremost, they are predators - fearsome, cunning, and most of all
intelligent predators. They study their prey extensively. They lay traps and plan ahead for contingencies, and
they know when to abandon a hopeless cause. They can be subtle and inhumanly patient. They know what
technology is and use it adeptly (as evidenced by their ability to pilot between systems), although what little
of their own native technology has been found has proven impenetrable to researchers.
They are also colonizers. By virtue of their biology, they have a constantly expanding population. Wherever
they have had thè technology to do so, Things (individually or in groups) have continued to adjacent stare to
seek out more fertile hunting grounds. Where they have not, Things have contrived to catch rides with
anwary visitors, usually by impersonating one or more of them.
Whether it is something they are consciously ware or not, it is clear that their ultimate goal is thè conversion
of all thè organic matter they can reach into
metamorphic Things, resulting in a universe of
constant cannibalistic struggle that must
inevitably taper off into a dwindling death at thè
hands of thè law of thermodynamics.
The Things are predators, capable of surviving on
thè flesh of nearly any carbon-based creature.
They are cautious and cunning, preferring to
hunt more like trap-door spiders than lions. They
live about as long as humans, but because of their
reproductìve cycle, they spend almost all of their
lives as active adults. Essentially a macroscale
version of cellular division, thè process self-
triggers every six to eight weeks and rarely takes
more than 24 houre. A Thing about to reproduce
consumes its own weight in meat (creatures so
consumed cannot be used like templates) and
then finds a secluded lair. When thè division
process is complete, there are two competent (if
somewhat smaller adults where before there was
one – The Things waste no time on childhood.
(Both offspring inherit thè parent's memorized
forms, as well.) Thè exact source of their
morphing abilities is unknown. What is known is
that it is unpleasant to see – thè Things' shape change is slow and disturbing. Those few witnesses who have
dared to stay for thè entire process have likened it to "wet, rotting meat sculpting itself, one paper-thin layer
at a time."
Because thè combination of their physical powers and psychological attitudes seems unlikely to have evolved
naturally (thè very existence of an intelligent, cannibalistìc, solipsistic race sends some xenobiologists and
xenologists into fits), many experts believe that thè Invadere were genetically engineered. Thè most
commonly accepted theory is that they are a biological doomsday weapon that was either used or accidentally
released and that turned out to be much better at long-term survival than its creators intended.
There is a great deal of evidence to support this view. First, for an ostensibly sentient race, they are driven by
a number of hard-wired biological imperatives that prevent them from developing anything approaching a
civilization. Among these is reproduction - unlike virtually all other sentient races. Thing's reproduction is
completely involuntary, extraordinarily rapid, and clearly geared toward producing more Things.
Second, they are (despite their large eyes) near-sighted, unable to see clearly anything farther away than 30
feet or so, effectively forcing them to focus on their next victim or their next task. Finally, while Things are
carbon-based (and capable of consuming almost any carbon-based flesh), they react badly to alcohol,
including methanol (wood alcohol) and isopropanol (rubbing alcohol) as well as ethanol; this may have been
an attempt at a control mechanism in case thè Things ran wild.
Another odd vulnerability is that other shapeshifters don't agree with them. If a Thing consumes an Enyyn,
or other shapechanger, thè Thing almost immediately goes into spasms lasting 2d+10 minutes, during which
it loses control of ite own Morph power and shifts randomly every 1d seconds.
Thè Things are sufficiently individualistic so that it's impossible to provide a universal profile for their
behavior. In general, though, they tend to infiltrate worlds rather than attack outright. They take targets of
opportunity at first, killing and replacing them regardless of their roles in society. (Ironically, because of thè
Things' metabolic reaction to alcohol, thè usual clichéd hunting grounds and victims – bars, parties, and their
denizens, not to mention homeless drunks - are thè safest.)
Once they have taken over an individual's life, they "harvest" all his connections. With every spawning, they
take over another of thè target's relatives, friends, or acquaintances, until his social and family circles have
been completely converted. At this point, thè original victim's shape is of no further use; thè Thing abandons
it in favor of a new victim, with a new social network to absorb.
Thè Things don't seem to take any personal names other than those of thè individuals whose shapes they've
adopted. Indeed, it's unknown if they nave a language at all.
The Things aren't always so patient – they have been known to explode into spasms of utter violence, usually
employing forms with greater mobility than their native one, enhanced with all thè strength of their unusual
biology.
Thè Things have no native culture; they are unable to cooperate long enough to create one, and appear to
have no interest in doing so even if they could.
Things have no political relations with any other race in thè galaxy. They don't even acknowledge other
members of their own race as sentients, let alone other races. For all practical purposes, there is a permanent
state of war between thè Things and every other species in thè galaxy.
It is a highly classified secret, but Palisade is not thè only Planet taken over by thè aliens. Thè Galactic Survey
Service has discovered several other entire planets populated by nothing but Things, endlessly stalking and
devouring each other. For thè sake of galactic civilization, every such world has been sterilized, like Palisade.
One peculiar form of the Things could be called "thè Lerneaen Things." Not only do thè Things reproduce as
described above, cutting damage just turns them into smaller versions of themselves! Whenever a Thing takes
cutting damage, instead of suffering a wound thè Thing becomes two Things - one with at many HT as thè
attack inflicted, thè other with whatever HT remains. (Treat cutting damage equal to or greater than thè
Invader's HT as HT/2 – effectively dividing thè creature into two equal halves.)

Titan
Titans are gargantuan, almost godlike men and woman. They, quite simply, look like 45' tall people of great
physical strength and beauty. They are commonly dressed in traditional Greek garb, favoring togas, and such.
They wear rare and valuable jewelry and in other ways make themselves seem beautiful and overpowering.
In addition to speaking their own language, titans are able to speak the six main dialects of giants. All titans
are also conversant in the common tongue as well as that commonly spoken by forest creatures, as these
giants have close ties with nature. They are great wizards, adept in the use of air spell.

Mimic: the Titan can change its form to imitate what it sees. By spending a turn concentrating, it can shifts its
form to match whatever it can see (in general terms: if it sees humans, it can choose to exactly mimic the
Armageddon: Once per battle, the Titan unleashes a wave of complete and total destruction that completely
rewrites the battlefield. First, the Titan must Ready his attack over the course of 4 turns. The fact that he's
powering up a major attack is readily obvious to anyone who glances his direction (intense auras). When he
has finished readying his power, he attacks, unleashing an explosive 20d blast of burning damage. This strikes
everything within a twenty yard radius, though each yard between the target and the monster reduces the
dice of damage by 1. After the smoke clears, the battlefield has changed in some profound way that the
monster has no control over (it is set on fire). This should involve a new map in tactical combat, or new
movement rules in normal combat
Tornado Harpy
Tornado Harpies are wicked, greenish, avian beasts that prey upon nearly all creatures but prefer the flesh of
humans and demihumans. Tornado Harpies have the bodies of vultures but the upper torsos and heads of
men. Their human features are youthful, but hideous, with frayed unkempt hair and decaying teeth. A foul
odor surrounds all harpies and that which they touch. Harpies never bathe nor clean themselves in any way.
Their dress, if anything, is limited to tattered rags and shiny trinkets taken from previous victims.

Toxifier
Toxifiers might be mistaken for ghosts due to their smudgy, semisolid appearance. However, they’re actually
demonic clouds of greenish poison vapor. They attack simply by standing near victims and engulfing them in
a lethal mist of contact poison. They’re largely unaffected by weapons other than those specifically designed
to injure spirits, and are unusually strong-willed and hard to repel with magic.

comfortable. Inflict darkness on an area up to 32 yards around the Ninja (generally, an entire room), enough
to inflict a -4 on all rolls regarding vision
Universoul
The Universoul is a humanoid black-hole!! When it raises both the arms and opens the cloak, the creature
projects an incredibly powerful drawing ray that drags anything into deep space!! The Universouls come from
space-time anomalies. It instantly moves along any point in the universe.
It is an inscrutable creature. It takes advantage of the space-time anomalies to travel towards other realities
and ages. It can get killed only with attacks at the back... but this is the only thing that makes the Universoul
really angry...

Armageddon: Once per battle, the monster unleashes a wave of complete and total destruction that
fact that he's powering up a major attack is readily obvious to anyone who glances his direction (intense
aura). When he has finished readying his power, he attacks, unleashing an explosive 20d blast of burning
damage. This strikes everything within a twenty yard radius, though each yard between the target and the
monster reduces the dice of damage by 1. After the smoke clears, the battlefield has changed in some
profound way that the monster has no control over (it is torn apart and filled with cracks and gulleys). This
should involve a new map in tactical combat, or new movement rules in normal combat.
Wild Caster: the monster uses its magic innately, calling on the power of the universe. Three times per
session, the Universoul may cast any single spell, regardless of prerequisites or capability, by rolling IQ +
Magery. It must still pay the appropriate energy costs and spend the appropriate time casting

War Wight
A war-wight is a forgotten soldier from another time. Each has an uncompleted mission, and knows exactly
how to complete thè mission in its new surroundings. A war-wight will stop at nothing to be victorious.
Any conceivable military mission is possible - saving a comrade behind enemy lines, assassinating an enemy
agent, escaping to safety over thè border, taking out an enemy installation, etc. Draw parallels between thè
warwight's original era and thè present day. For example, to a World War II war-wight, City Hall in a large
town 20 miles away could be an enemy installation (perhaps a secret bunker). Some parallels will be strangely
close. If, for example, thè World War II war-wight needs to protect a train with special cargo, thè train could
be one that was actually running during World War II. Or, thè parallels can be more remote - say, an Arabian
soldier from thè Crusades on a mission in thè Arctic.
Thè mission always involves one or two human targets to capture, interrogate, kill, or rescue. This can be a
side effect of a greater goal (such as assassination as a result of destroying an installation) or it might be thè
mission' s exclusive goal. Thè target can be well-known, or evil (justifying assassination), or innocent, chosen
seemingly at random by thè war-wight.
Thè war-wight will know something that links thè target to thè war-wight's time. Perhaps thè target's
ancestor was thè war-wight's nemesis, or thè target may have served in thè war-wight's war. Any careful
investigation of a target's background will reveal striking and eerie links between thè target and thè
warwight's mission.
Thè war-wight divides thè world into allies, enemies and bystanders. Everyone except thè mission's target (if
any) starts out as a bystander. Those who help become its allies; thè war-wight manipulates them, but never
trusts them. Anyone who poses a threat to thè war-wight and actively impedes its progress becomes an
enemy, to be destroyed, usually as brutally as possible.
When thè mission is complete, thè war-wight disappears. Thè damage it has caused remains. Careful
examination of history books will show that thè soldier, once anonymous, is now mentioned (at least
parenthetically). There may even be a reference to thè mission, described in thè context of thè war-wight's
era of origin.
Each war-wight is different. Some look perfectly human. Others look like zombies or have inhuman features.
Most have only natural abilities (though often at high levels). A few have supernatural abilities. Some are
violent and aggressive. Others are so quiet that it is nearly impossible to notice that they are even on a
mission. Most act alone, but a rare few will find strength in numbers.
A war-wight will always hide its face - behind a gas mask, under thè shadow of a helmet, etc. Only thè most
trusted ally or tenacious enemy will find a way to see it.
All war-wights will try to locate weapons, vehicles and equipment from their time. For 20th-century
warwights, this is relatively easy. War-wights from earlier eras, however, may have to burglarize museums or
private artifact collections to assemble an arsenal. They might also build their own.
War-wights operate in secrecy. Although thè final moment in a mission may attract attention (explosions,
firefights, etc.), thè events leading to it are carried out with maximum silence and subterfuge. Some
warwights are better at this than others. A Russian intelligence agent from thè Afghanistan battles will stay
inconspicuous longer than a war-wight from an ancient Celtic war.
They are fanatical and tough, with Danger Sense, Toughness DR 4, Immunity to Disease and Night Vision.
Those with supernatural abilities hide their special powers as best they can. War-wight mages generally have
combat oriented spells, information-gathering spells and disguise spells. Those with psionics normally have
psychokinetic powers, telepathic powers, electrokinesis and ESP. Other possible abilities include
shapeshifting, special senses, rapid healing, creating or gathering allies and communion with dark forces.
Some may have supernatural pets - imagine a war-wight with a pet deathwing and a cooperative puppeteer.
War-wights with supernatural powers always have one or two supernatural weaknesses as well.
During thè day, their attributes, spells, skills and advantage levels are halved. War-wights spend this time
resting, contemplating, receiving orders (see below), healing and studying available mission information.
They are active at night.
All war-wights are soldiers who actually lived, with identities, personal histories and skills appropriate to
their era of origin. They also have thè misconceptions and prejudices of their era. An individual's ability to
aid, influence and fight a war-wight increases with thè individual's knowledge of thè proper era. As a mission
wears on, a war-wight may become desperate. A war-wight who has struggled for weeks and is still far from
his goal will become more violent, savage and fanatical. At this point (and in thè moment before thè climax
of a mission), thè war-wight becomes superhumanly resistant to outside influences. This gives it a +5 at least
to resist psionic suggestions, mind-control spells and other such tactics. Each war-wight regularly receives
helpful, even essential, information and orders from a special source. Every war-wight has a different
receiving method. It could be a radio, a walkie-talkie, written notes that appear in thè war-wight's
equipment, spoken words from a shadowy figure, etc. Thè war-wight will keep these transmissions secret.
Outsiders who discover them will find thè orders to be cryptic . . . and thè information horrifyingly true.
Investigators of this source will have limited success. They may be able to block thè messages temporarily, or
even create fake messages, but they will never be able to learn thè identity of thè war-wight's backer. If thè
examiners persist, it will soon become obvious that they are dealing with a very powerful and evil force. They
would be well advised to leave this secret alone. Normally, a war-wight arrives in its new era in its own body.
But a rare few may arrive by taking possession of someone's body. Rather than experiencing a total
personality switch, thè person will adopt some of thè mannerisms, knowledge and skills of thè war-wight.
Thè victim will begin receiving orders from thè sponsor, hiding his face, and acting nocturnal. Before long,
he embarks on thè war-wight's mission. This progression is complete, with thè war-wight in total control,
just before thè mission climax. If thè mission is completed, thè victim's personality is permanently restored.
In this situation, thè possessed individual's link to thè war-wight is represented by a small object. This could
be an old gun from thè war-wight's era, dog tags, or some other significant item. He will become increasingly
protective of thè item as thè mission wears on. If thè item is taken away, thè war-wight will become frenzied
in its efforts to recover it. If thè item is destroyed, thè war-wight is exorcised.

Weapon X
Weapon X is a human who possesses animal-keen senses, enhanced physical capabilities and a healing factor
that allows him to recover from virtually any wound, disease, or toxin at an accelerated rate. The healing
factor also slows down his aging process, enabling him to live beyond a normal human lifespan. His powerful
healing factor enabled the supersoldier program Weapon X to bond the near-indestructible metal alloy to his
skeleton without killing him
Weapon X's senses of sight, smell, and hearing are all superhumanly acute. He can see with perfect clarity at
greater distances than an ordinary human, even in near-total darkness. His hearing is enhanced in a similar
manner, allowing him to both hear sounds ordinary humans cannot and also hear to greater distances.
Weapon X is able to use his sense of smell to track targets by scent, even if the scent has been eroded
somewhat over time by natural factors. This sense also allows him to identify shapeshifting mutants despite
other forms they may take. .

Wolf-In-Sheep’s-Clothing
Upon first glance, the Wolf-In-Sheep’s-Clothing appears to be a worn tree stump with many of its roots
exposed, and often with a small creature resting upon it. Close examination, however, reveals the truth—that
the Wolf-Insheep’s-Clothing is in fact not a plant, but rather a bizarre aberration that chance or deliberate
machinations have shaped into something alien that camouf lages itself well among the living things of the
forest. Its primary roots are actually powerful, sinewy tentacles, with two smaller, vine-like roots that emerge
from either side of the stumpy body terminating in unblinking eyes that look like f lower buds; these latter
are frequently wrapped around nearby trees or plants to avoid detection. When its prey has been securely
seized, a nearly undetectable slit in the stump’s side opens to reveal a mouth with rows of serrated teeth and a
prehensile tongue.
While the Wolf-In-Sheep’s-Clothing relies on its powerful tentacles to seize and hold its prey, its long tongue
is extremely dexterous, and accomplishes most of the creature’s fine manipulation, including scraping
captured victims against the sharp teeth within the creature’s mouth. The rows of teeth themselves rotate
side to side in alternating directions on ropy pieces of gristle, so that the victim’s flesh and bones are
thoroughly shredded before the meal reaches the creature’s stomach. It absorbs this slurry effortlessly and
quickly; its stomach acid is powerful enough to dissolve organic material in short order, but has no effect on
metals or stone. These items it deposits into a dug-out hollow beneath its body, often changing location when
this hollow becomes full. Yet the most notorious aspect of a Wolf-In-Sheep’s-Clothing is not how it eats, but
how it captures its food in the first place.

Drawing Ray (15): the Womb Man emits a beam that exoteleports the enemies into its belly, where they melt
away (see below).
Corrosive Placenta: the belly of the Womb Men is full of corrosive liquid that liquefy the victims of these
creatures (it causes 5d of corrosive damage per second). An aggressor is being captured, furthermore, when he
hurls himself against the creature: the belly suddenly opens onto him and swallows. Remains of the victims
are visible into the translucent belly of the monster.
Wraith
In modern usage, a "wraith" is nothing more than a ghost; however, thè word comes from thè Old Norse
vorthr, which actually means "warder" or "guardian." Thè wraith of modern fantasy is exactly that: an undead
guardian, usually created by magic. This trend originated in thè works of J. R. R. Tolkien, whose Ring-
Wraiths were powerful undead warriors and champions of darkness. Thè wraith as an undead knight has
since become a staple of fantasy gaming, and is thè subject of this discussion.
Thè wraith is one of thè most deadly of thè corporeal undead. Intensely magical and physically powerful, it
cannot be turned by any force short of thè magic that created it. There are tales of wraiths being vulnerable
to light, holy water, silver, etc.; unfortunately, most of these are lies - although fire, magic weapons and spells
are of some use when combatting wraiths. A wraith's only real weakness is that it relies on an enchantment
for its survival, and should thè item carrying this spell be removed or destroyed, thè wraith will perish.
Wraiths have several magical powers, including an aura of palpable fear, a deadly touch and thè ability to
repair their undead bodies by leeching thè life from their foes. Their semi-spectral forms are extremely tough.
They can even become completely ethereal, although they are loath to do so because it means giving up thè
protection of their armor, which often exposes thè magic item that sustains them. Wraiths may have other
magical abilities as well, depending on thè skill and imagination of their creator.
Since thè item that raises a wraith is expensive and requires little-known magical rites, wraiths are rather
uncommon except in thè service of extremely powerful necromancers (who are often liches). Most wraiths
are highly skilled warriors who have been hand-picked from among their peers, and are dangerous foes in
their own right. This combination of skill, supernatural toughness and thè resources of a powerful enchanter
means that thè wraith is one of thè toughest opponents on thè fantasy battlefield.
Wraiths have bodies of semi-spectral flesh through which their blackened bones can be seen. Their facial
features resemble a hideous death mask and their eyes glow with a cold fire. Most wraiths wear full armor
and wield finely made magical weapons. Elaborate helms, cloaks and cowls are often used to enhance thè
wraith's intimidating image while disguising its most hideous features. Many wraiths were knights in life, and
ride upon undead beasts.
Wraiths can be found anywhere their duty takes them. They are often encountered in thè strongholds of thè
rich and evil, usually in thè service of a wizard. Wraiths love battle, and can frequently be found heading up
thè armies of their employers.

Wraith-Sorcerer
Wraith-Sorcerers are undead knight-sorcerers who have reanimated themselves with necromancy and
preserved their ethereal bodies with alchemical elixirs. As a result, they are extremely magical. They are thè
most feared of thè undead. This is in part due to their potent undead form, but mostly because they tend to be
powerful wizards.
Thè usual motivations for becoming a Wraith-Sorcerer are megalomania and an unwillingness to accept
death, although a few sorcerers simply want to be able to study without having to deal with things like eating
and sleeping. Wraith-Sorcerers tend to have thè kinds of attitudes associated with melodramatic dark
overlords and mad scientists in cinema.
While they aren't necessarily evil, organized faiths will likely do their best to portray them that way, since
most gods take a dim view of those who cheat death. Between their image problems and appearance, it's rare
for Wraith-Sorcerers to be well-integrated members of society. Most take their notes, reanimate a few
servants and retreat to a secret hiding place to hatch their plots.
Wraith-Sorcerers are reserved as NPC foes in most fantasy campaigns. They are extremely effective in this
role. First, they are sorcerers who neither sleep nor age, so they have plenty of time to perfect thè most
diabolical spells. Next, they are traditionally served by armies of mindless undead, like mummies, skeletons
and zombies. Finally, since Wraith-Sorcerers tend to retreat from society, most are faced in their lairs, where
they have thè home-ground advantage.
Thè Wraith-Sorcerer spell withers thè body, melting away flesh to avoid decay. Thè end result is a
skinwrapped shadow with glowing pinpoints of reddish or yellowish light for eyes. A Wraith-Sorcerer's body
is enchanted. A mage can sense this on a successful (IQ + Magery) roll, while both Analyze Magic and Aura
will reveal thè Wraith-Sorcerer for what it is. Many Wraith-Sorcerers embed a large Powerstone in their
body, often in thè skull.
To avoid casual harassment by priests and undead hunters, most Wraith-Sorcereres live in labyrinthine tombs
or spooky old castles far from civilization. To keep thè living out, these lairs tend to be kept in utter darkness
and filled with traps, linked spells (see p. M64) and undead guards. Being largely immune to mortal
weaknesses, some Wraith-Sorcereres will even locate their strongholds in Arctic locales, or put them under
water or in vacuum, relying on thè environment to exclude thè living.
A Wraith-Sorcerer isn't bound to its death site, tomb or anything else. While it typically remains in its lair,
this is a matter of choice. It can travel anywhere, even in daylight.

Yithoghu
Seemingly unholy blends of cephalopod and human, the yithoghu are composed of psionically solidified
ectoplasm. Whether their bodily forms and integrity arise from their own biology or are the projections of
some inhuman brain somewhere in the Astral Realm remains unknown, although the yithoghu themselves,
staunch materialists, hold the previous theory.
They hunt unwary or weak travelers in the Astral Realm taking them as slaves and as sources of will-force,
upon which they feed. Yithoghu morality does not recognize any beings save the yithoghu themselves as
worthy of consideration, and within yithoghu society it recognizes only force or skill. Their Polished Citadel
lies at the center of their predations, and holds generations of hideously mutated and deformed slaves bred to
produce psionic essences for their masters’ consumption. Yithoghu also seek out magic items to make up for
their racial inability to use magic, and valuable artifacts and secrets for their sages to study. Yithoghu slavers
compete with Atlantean traders for cargo, and parties of yithoghu will attack Atlanteans without warning

Squeeze 14; Mental Stab 16; Brawling 15
TK Bullet (17): 5d-2 crushing. The creature can pick up nearby small rocks and fling them at bullet-like
speeds, all in a single, practiced action. This ability only works if there are small objects nearby, about the size
and shape of a pebble. It takes an Attack maneuver and make a skill roll, with all normal modifiers for a
ranged attack.
TK Crush (18): the creature can crush someone’s internal organs with a steely glare. It rolls a Quick Contest
of skill (minus long-distance modifiers) vs. the subject’s Will. If Yithoghu wins, the subject takes 5d of
damage; DR does not protect against this! It may do less damage if you prefer.
Brain Squeeze (13): this creature can attempt to squeeze someone’s brain, causing convulsions and fits if you
do it enough. It rolls the attack normally, except that it do 2d+2 (with no wounding multiplier), due to the
need for greater precision. Once the target has taken more than HP/2 damage from this attack, whether all at
once or over multiple turns, he goes into a seizure (p. B429) until he is at or above HP/2 again!
Throath Squeeze (14): as for Brain Squeeze, above, but it targets the throat. Enough damage leaves the victim
choking (p. B428) instead of in a seizure. This can easily suffocate a person to death – (the creature don't use
it with caution!).
Mental Stab (16): this creature can thrust the equivalent of a mental knife into the subject’s brain, causing
actual damage. It roll a Quick Contest of skill vs. the subject’s Will. If it succeeds, he takes damage equal to its
margin of victory (maximum 10 points)! It can chooses, when attacking, whether this is temporary (FP) or
long-term (HP) damage. The ability of an Yithoghu decreases any yard of distance by 1.
Tentacles (15): usually, an Yithoghu uses a Brain Squeeze on an enemy, then, when he is in a seizure, it tears
his skull off with its tentacles (3d+2 cutting).

Yuki-Onna
Yuki onna are Japanese spirits of snow and ice that take the form of beautiful women. They are rarely seen
outside of Japan or other areas with large enclaves of Japanese. They are thought to bring snow, and are
sometimes believed to be the spirit of a person who died in the snow and given a new form.
Yuki onna are particularly malicious, liking to freeze stranded travelers to death or even whole communities
(if it’s strong enough or if the weather is already cold). They can summon blizzards that last at least eight
hours, and make already wintery conditions even worse. They are particularly susceptible to fire attacks,
which work on them much like iron does. This can be used for other spirits of cold and winter, such as some
tales of the Wendigo and Jack Frost.
