GURPS Monsters Paperback – August 26, 2020
Purchase options and add-ons
All Things Vile and Murderous . . .
They chase you, baying, through woods far from home. They lurk in the shadows to grab the unwary. They possess your friends and change them subtly. They smash through your bedroom wall and are on you before you can even scream. But you scream anyway.
Some creatures are tragically misunderstood – fearsome in appearance, but basically harmless, or even good.
But the ones in this book are just . . . monsters.
GURPS Monsters contains 48 of the meanest, vilest people, animals, and things to infest this (or any other) universe. With detailed biographies, motivations, and suggestions for encounters, each creature will make an impressive character or adversary. Meet:
- Literary and mythic monsters such as Asterius the Minotaur, Dracula, and Medusa.
- More recent legends such as El Chupacabra, the Jersey Devil, and the Queen of Air and Darkness.
- Wholly original foes! Pit your parties against Elrond Carver, the Atomic Lich; Pusan Chen, an undead dragon; and Sylvia Sternenkind, a bioengineered freedom-fighter turned contract killer!
Plus an entire chapter on playing monsters . . . and the people who hunt them!
Some threats you can fight; others you may flee. With the rest, all you can do is scream, and scream, and scream.
