The monster is a giant scorpion. Without a tail to inject the venom it can only inject it by pincing with it's claws. The legs being rather short it relies on it's long arms, as long as it's body, to catch it's prey. If caught the prey will be pulled towards the fangs, bit and injected with acid to be devoured later by sucking out the insides. It's chitin protects it from all but the most ferocious attacks. These monsters and their nests, woven from silk, are often found in timid, dry and dusty environments. Sometimes smaller specimen are found in dry dungeons and old abandoned libraries. If a Teutonic Giant Scorpion lives in a region the vicinity is usually devoid of other monsters and creatures as it tends to hunt and eat everything that is smaller than itself and worth pursuing as a source of food.

A brightly colored winged serpent. Its body forms into a pair of leathery wings tapering toward its tail and running the length of its body. It is about three feet long and around two feet at it's widest point toward the head. Typically found in the shallows of lakes where it waits stealthily for creatures to pass close by. Then it skims along just under the surface of the water picking up speed, before launching unexpectedly into the air. It makes one passing bite attack before darting back around into the water to repeat the attack. It continues this move, in small groups of three or four creatures, until either half their number are killed or they take down a prey, at which time a larger group two to three times larger than the original launch from the water to ravage the fallen prey until it is consumed or they are driven away. Instinct: to feed.

• Launches bite attack from lake shallows at high speeds..

Abominable crossbreed of human and fish, the ulat-kinis were servitor race created to serve as rank-and-file soldiers in alghollthu armies. When the alghollthus retreated from the world, they abandoned their creations. Today the ulat-kinis exist in a shadow of their previous multitude, most of them dwelling deep underground in slowly crumbling ruins. They have even lost their own name — only the most wise of their kind remember that they were once known as the ulat-kini, now calling themselves by the derogatory term given to them by their surface dwelling enemies - the skum. They are incapable of reproducing among themselves, as they are all male. Their masters did not want their slave race to prosper without permission. Yet terribly, this does not mean that skum cannot breed. Originally created from human stock, skum can impregnate humans, and the hybrid children issued from such unholy unions are invariably deformed and - when they would normally die of old age - instead go through “the change,” shedding their wrinkled flesh and transforming into one of the ulat-kini. Instinct: To breed and corrupt

• Call on kin to attack from the rear

Known as the aquatic bogeymen or menaces of the shallows, grindylows are violent and sadistic creatures that use their spears to hunt or just poke at things to make them scream and cry. They have sharklike heads that are almost triangular in shape, filled with small, sharp teeth, while their lower bodies resemble that of an octopus, with six wriggling tentacles. Incredibly fond of their similarly looking kin, grindylows believe octopuses to be the epitome of beauty and often keep them as pets in their coastal lairs. At the same time, for some unfathomable reason, they reqard squids as hideous freaks. There is no greater insult to a grindylow than being called a squid. Instinct: To ambush and drown unsuspecting prey
