4.0 out of 5 stars A monster fest, May 13, 2000

By	Andrew Limsk (Kuala Lumpur, MY) - See all my reviews

This book is meant for the Call of Cthulhu (COC) roleplaying game available from the same publisher. It is basically a compendium of creatures taken from Cthulhu fiction and older Chaosium books (notably Ye Booke of Monstres I and II) as well as several new, never-been-seen horrors.

The secrets of each creature are described together with statistics and line drawings, supplemented with color text. Well written and a pleasure to read, this book will give Cthulhu players more things to fear. As a bonus, four terrific full-colour art pieces are included which capture the the loathsome details of the Cthulhu mythos perfectly. The book is probably best used to surprise veteran COC players who think they have seen it all...

5.0 out of 5 stars Scary---period., June 5, 2002

By	Julius Talyansky (Sunnyvale, CA) - See all my reviews

If you think CoC is just an RPG game, think again. I recently bought the [price] CoC 20th Anniversary Edition Rulesbook (worth every penny) and was looking for some new monsters to enhance my gaming...Here they are in this beautiful guide...morbidly illustrated...crisp text (not simply a tedious chart collection)...and scares the living bejesus out of me. When I was first reading Lovecraft, I became hooked, and simply LOOKING at this book was a surprise - really quite cool. A must-have accessory for any player as well as keeper - even players can marvel at the creature statistics, and hope they don't meet whatever is in the book on their CoC adventures...Cthulhu's stats made me jump...Anyway, a visually pleasing (depending on your asthetic values) book, as well as a necessity to playing the greatest RPG ever created...enjoy!

4.0 out of 5 stars A book much better than its name., June 10, 2000

By	"kafferlinbooks" (Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews

The Creature Companion may be a functional title for this volume of various Mythos entities, but it struck me as more of a borderline AD&D cliche.

The title aside this book has its uses. It presents a keeper with a great collection of entities to keep the experienced Mythos investigator on their toes. There are even some listings, such as H.G Wells' Martians, that may surprise even an experienced keeper.

The sidebar that runs through the book is filled with observations from the point-of-view of a Mythos researcher. These can be enjoyable to read on their own right, as well as being a source for possible scenarios.

While the organization of the materials could be a little easier to follow, I would recommend this book to any keepers or intrepid Call of Cthulhu fans.
