Ye Olde Physiologus (Release 1.1 -- 02 April 2019)
Collections of creatures have been common since the dark ages. In those days, much of what you would see was as fanciful as the creatures one might find in the various Monster Manuals or the Fiend Folio: creatures described by travelers to wide-eyed audiences and taken down by scribes all too eager to capture the oddities of the world outside.
Often, having little by which to describe these oddities, they were mixtures of familiar animals — body of a lion here, head of a serpent there, legs and claws of an eagle, and so forth. Lucky for us, the fanciful creatures in our modern bestiaries are given rules, stats, and backgrounds that allow us to play the world's greatest role playing game!
Many of the creatures in this volume have very little written about them that is not Christian allegory. For those, I have looked carefully at the images used in heraldry and the like and attempted to flesh them out in the same tone and feel as the various source material. Write a review or leave a comment and let me know how well I did.
Some of the creatures in this collection are beasts I have thrown at my players over the years. Most of these are creatures that can be found in the myth, and lore of an ancient people, or perhaps in the tomes that originated in the Dark Ages. Wherever they came from, I hope you find them interesting to read, and enjoyable at your game table.
