Monsters by Taylor Strait

  • Cyclops Solitary, Huge, Intelligent
    Throw boulder (d10+5 damage) 20 HP 1 armor
    Near, Reach, Far, Ignores Armor

    Despite their immense skill at their barn-sized forges, these one-eyed giants always seem to end up wanting what other people have. Whether it be a beautiful woman, magical object, or just a piece of land, cyclopes become easily fixated on possessing certain things and get downright stubborn about having them. This often brings them into conflict with fathers-of-brides, kings, high wizards, local farmers, and well, just about anyone who has something the cyclops wants. Not inherently evil, cyclopes are simply used to getting what they want through force and intimidation. On the other hand, they have been known to reward those who bring them their objects of desire with magical weapons and armor. Instinct: To aquire the object of its infatuation

  • Harpy Group, Intelligent, Hoarder
    Claws (d8+2 damage) 6 HP 0 armor
    Close
    Special Qualities: Flight

    The twisted incarnation of some long-forgotten divine punishment, harpies have the torso and head of hideous human females with the grotesque wings, legs, and tail of a bird. Vicious and shrill, they now roam in small packs seeking to fulfill their instinctual need to inflict emotional and physical pain on others through the theft of precious items. Despite their attraction to gold, gems, and magical enchantments, harpies seem to always know what each victim holds most dear whether it be a questing knight's heirloom sword or a starving man's last morsel of bread. Instinct: To deprive others of what they cherish

    • Alert other harpies
    • Distract a victim
    • Snatch a valuable object
    • Gloat from the safety of its nest
