Telchines Description : These mischievous creatures frolic in the seas near inhabited islands, causing havoc and confusion with their weather-affecting powers. Legends say they were once powerful Elementalists whose hubris angered the Gods and were transformed by them into their current form (hybrid creatures with the heads of dogs and the flippers of dolphins) but somehow managed to retain their human intelligence as well as their magical powers. Taxonomy : Monster Number Appearing : 1d3 Size : Medium Ferocity : Peaceful Cunning : Crafty Mystique : Eldritch Movement : 120’ Initiative : +3 Melee Attack : +3 Damage : 1d6 (head butt) Defense Class : 14 (16 in water) Hits Total : 8 Danger Evasion : +6 (+8 in water) Mystic Fortitude : +4 Special Abilities : Aquatic, Life Energy Drain (gaze attack), Elemental Powers (level 5, Power 25 ; Air rank III, Water rank II), Uncanny Agility (in water). Sea Creatures What are you staring at ? You think I look funny ? We’ll see if you’re still laughing when me and my Telchine buddies sink your ship with our eldritch elemental powers ! From the Letters Page of Griffin Magazine… Sea Creatures in General : I’m afraid these creatures are nearly completely useless in the absence of detailed rules for underwater combat. Here are my own house rules on the subject. Marine creatures can be grouped in five Nautical Maneuverability classes, which, for simplicity’s sake, are called B, C, D, E and W. Within each Nautical Maneuverability class, several specific categories blah blah blah blah blah (…) Dolphin : Dolphins are so cute. Why can’t I play a dolphin ? You should definitely publish a Dolphin character class, with powers similar to those of a Nymph (and a much higher swimming bonus). Sea Hydra : Aside from its natural environment, what’s the difference between a Sea Hydra and a normal Hydra ? Or should they be called Land Hydrae now ? While you were at it, why didn’t you give us the Cave Hydra, the Mountain Hydra, the Forest Hydra and the Garden Hydra ? Sea Horses & Sea Lions : Sea Cats, Sea Boars, Sea Bears, Sea Rats… Sons of Dagon : Fishmen with a fancy name. Telchines : Briliant creature ! You should definitely publish a Telchine character class, with the same powers as the Elementalists (and a much higher swimming bonus).
VII : GIGANTIC MONSTERS Argusoïd Description : Argusoïds are giants whose bodies are covered with eyes (a hundred or so) – a pretty disgusting sight in itself. They make excellent guardians (since they really never sleep) and are (quite logically) mortal enemies of Cyclops. Taxonomy : Monster Number Appearing : 1 Size : Gigantic Ferocity : Deadly Cunning : Alert Mystique : Weird Movement : 240’ Initiative : +4 Melee Attack : +7 Damage : 3d6 (big mace) Defense Class : 18 Hits Total : 48 Danger Evasion : +10 (+20 detection !) Mystic Fortitude : +2 Special Abilities : Charge (+6), Crushing Attack (trample), Crushing Missiles (60’), Fearsome, Regeneration (5 hits / round), Sharp Senses, Sixth Sense, Supernatural Vigor, Tough Skin. Their many eyes also give them a +10 bonus to detection. Bicephalous Giant Description : Two-headed giant.

Crawling Aberration Description : A gigantic polypous creature vaguely looking like a cross between a murena and a medusa. Taxonomy : Monster Number Appearing : 1 Size : Gigantic Ferocity : Dangerous Cunning : Alert Mystique : Eldritch Movement : 240’ Initiative : +3 Melee Attack : +5 Damage : 3d6 (tentacles & bite) Defense Class : 20 Hits Total : 48 Danger Evasion : +4 Mystic Fortitude : +8 Special Abilities : Crushing Attack (constriction), Grapple (Might 24), Fearsome, Magic Resistance, Regeneration (5 Hits/round), Supernatural Vigor, Tough Skin.
