From the Letters Page of Griffin Magazine…<br />
Capricorn Horror : I love Capricorn Horrors. My players kept on complaining on the lack of new creatures so<br />
last night, I wiped out the entire party with two Capricorn Horrors. You want new ? I’ll give you new.<br />
Daughters of Arachne : Of course, such blatant sexist stereotypes (not to mention sickly Freudian<br />
overtones) seriously harm the image of M&M players as responsible, psychologically mature persons, but<br />
let’s face it, these babies sure spin a mean web !<br />
Grotesks : Giant rolling heads ? Have you guys gone nuts or something ? As if the Tragic Floating Head<br />
was not enough ! These are probably the most ridiculous monsters ever invented for the game !<br />
Grotesks (again) : Since Grotesks are obviously based on the Ononoes from Edgar Rice Burroughs’ Tarzan<br />
stories, they can’t be ‘the most ridiculous monsters ever invented for the game’. Perhaps they could qualify as<br />
the most ridiculous monsters ever invented for a jungle adventure story, but that’s another point entirely.<br />
Lurkers : +18 bonus when hiding ??? Aren’t things going a little over the top here ? How are we supposed<br />
to kill them if we can’t even see them ? Uh ?<br />
Tetrax : Four arms ? In combat ? Are there any plans for a Tetrax character class ?<br />
Zorbas : Zorbas ? Are you people at LGS running a secret ‘daftest Greek name for a creature’ contest or<br />
something ? What’s next ? A living giant protoplasm called the Moussaka ?
