A Lamassu masquerading as a statue Aerial Beings Lamassu Description : Giant winged lions (with vaguely human-like faces), Lamassu are almost always encountered as guardians of the lost tombs or ruined temples of the long-dead Hazarian civilization, which once ruled the Land of the Sun. A Lamassu can stay immobile for hours, looking exactly like (and often mistaken for) a huge statue.

From the Letters Page of Griffin Magazine… Aerial Creatures in General : I’m afraid that these creatures are nearly completely useless in the absence of detailed rules for aerial combat. Here are my own house rules on the subject. Flying creatures can be grouped in five Aerial Maneuverability classes, which, for simplicity’s sake, are called Q, R, S, T and P.

Giant Tricephalous Vulture : Couldn’t anyone come up with a better name than that ? Gryphon : Gryphons ? Griffins ? Gryphins ? Griffons ? Gryffyins ? Gryphyns ? Klaatakaa’rr : And how on Earth are you supposed to pronounce that in the middle of a fight ? After a dozen tries, my players finally gave up and decided to call them ‘flying chimps’. Lamassu : Your version of the Lamassu has almost nothing to do with the Babylonian mythical creature of the same name ! As a Babylonian myself, I can’t help but feel insulted and my only honorable course of action is to call the manyfold curse of Marduk and Tiamat on you and your descendants (for 1d6+1 generations), unless you quickly amend yourself by publishing my briliant Babylonian Quest rpg.
