Therianthropes? Lycanthropes? Animorphs? Homo-Zoological-Hybrid-Sapiens? Manimals? Take your pick.

...and walking sticks, and crosiers, and goads, and scepters, but no wands!

From the same school of thought as, 'Hey GM, which book did I just randomly pull from the shelf of the wizards' library?' No plot hooks here, just flavor additions.

Vog's Children, the Lava-Oil Symbiotes

Hot off the Press! These are not your eldritch manuals or ancient folios of doom. These are random books, a GM can use whenever a PC reaches for a shelf, which usually happens when said GM is least expecting it. These can be found in most libraries, many private homes, and anywhere else one could expect to find a book. More than a few have some built-in plot hooklings as well, while others, like many books of our age, are plain drivel.

TOP SECRET! A Pickled Herring

Colossal Water Lilies

The Horrors and Wonders of a distant, sun-drenched land. Everything you need to run a desert campaign!

The Age of Vog...The Unending Winter of Discontent, The Epoch of Smoke and Ash.

Food of the gods.

The sea is calm, the morning mists clear, the seagulls cry out, and land comes into view

Et deprecabantur eum spiritus dicentes mitte nos in porcos ut in eos introeamus (Mark 5:12)

Inspired by # 16 on Cheka's 30 Lizard-man Gifts in-work and Coley's Chart of O' Bashing Death. A gift from the lizard-men. A pet crocodile, as loyal as a dog.

“Like a great, green god he stalks the savannah!”

A vulgar name for a very minor creature, granted, yet the whore-spider doesn't seem to mind its appellation.

side-quest-ish and open-ended to be sure.

Not quite Science Fiction...

Save/Help the Halflings! They offer rewards. Material and otherwise.
