GURPS Fantasy Beastiary
This extensively-researched book, based on
authentic folklore and legends from all over the world is a perfect resource for the GM of
any fantasy campaign. It includes more than 250 fantasy animals and plants, ranging from
interesting nuisances to monstrous menaces. Each is covered in detail, with a physical
description, likes and dislikes, attitude and toward mankind, and means of attack.
The main section is organized alphabetically, with
creatures ranging from the voratious Afanc to the noxious undead rodents that men know as
Zombie Gerbils.
These rules and creatures are written for use with the GURPS
Basic Set, Third Edition but can be used with any fantasy system. Some of this
material was previously published in the GURPS Bestiary but the majority is
new. All of the older beast descriptions have been reworked and brought up to Third
Edition standards.
The GURPS Fantasy Bestiary also includes:
- Special chapters on Dragons and Fabulous Plants, with many
examples of each.
- A chapter on Mythological Motifs that lets players customize
any creature from this book or the GURPS Bestiary. These rules can
enhance the creatures of any fantasy game you play, making this a truly generic
book!
- All the spells needed for many of the many magical beasts
and plants in this book.
- A detailed look at different types of animal and plant
poisons.
- Two tables, each listing every creature in the book.
One is arranged alphabetically, for easy reference. The other is organized by habitat, to
let the GM quickly find an appropriate creature for any terrain or any situation.
