Note: Nymdok dared me to write this up…so I did. Deal with it. Gorillaphant Some madman’s twisted vision, the aptly named “gorillaphant” is part elephant and part gorilla. I think that about says it all. Any Campaign Setting… ST: 30 HP: 30 Speed: 6.00 DX: 12 Will: 12 Move: 7/14 […]

Triple Threat – Wendigo Windwalker
Wendigo Windwalker Like the wendigo, windwalkers are terrifying shapeshifters who were once human, but were possessed by the Windwalker – a terrible manitou (spirit) of the far north who hungers for human flesh. Typically, the Windwalker gorges on flesh until it’s destroyed and sent back to its spirit form – but sometimes it makes […]

Wendigo Wendigo are terrifying shapeshifters who were once human, but through accident or choice ate human flesh. Over time the more they ate the more they craved until eventually, they became inhuman creatures who only look like human beings – but only on the outside. Wendigo tend to travel alone or in pairs – more […]

Water Leaper The welsh llamhigyn y dwr is a strange beasty that looks like a frog the size of a wolf, but has no bat wings instead of forelegs and no hind legs. It also has a long lizard-like tail with a stinger on the end. Despite its lack of legs, it can jump […]

Aillénsceith The original aillén was a monstrous three-headed reptile that terrorized the people of Ireland and put the people of Tara into a deep sleep and burned the Ráth na Riógh (the Fortress of the Kings) to the ground every year for 23 years. Eventually, Finn McCool killed the creature by stabbing it in […]

Raggedy Spirit Dolls are creepy. Kids with dolls and vacant, empty eyes are creepier. Possessed dolls are even creepier than that. So what happens when you a have a willful child who dies and comes back as a ghost and his favorite toy happens to be his creepy doll that in life he carried with […]

Gwyllgi Cu Sidhe (aka “fairy hounds”) are more or less immortal and can be found anywhere that the sidhe are found. For some sidhe who cannot afford to pay the Teind (their tithe to Hell) they sacrifice their beloved hounds instead of themselves. This results in a monstrous creature stuck somewhere between a Hellhound […]
Continue readingTriple Threat: Tooth Fairy
Tooth Fairy Zahnfee, hammaspeikko, petite souris, ratoncito pérez, and many more and too numerous to list are all names for one creature: the tooth fairy. In the last century this dangerous creature has been whitewashed and made “acceptable” for children. Most zahnfee (the typical name others call them) are creatures out of a nightmare resembling […]

Spriggan Ugly, hunched creatures, spriggan are the bullies and thugs of Faerie – and sometimes bodyguards for those who can afford them. Though small (average spriggan is about the size of a human child), they can grow their size to giant-like proportions (over 15’ tall). Spriggans are distantly related to piskies and are widely […]

Note: Gullinbursti is a creature of Norse myth, this is my take on it. “Sindri laid a pigskin in the hearth and bade Brokkr blow, and did not cease work until he took out of the hearth that which he had laid therein. But when he went out of the smithy, while the other dwarf […]
