Setting:
A grim low fantasy setting that an ancient evil is spreading disaster across the land. The nymphs, ogres and krauls join together to destroy human civilization. Monsters from the underworld prey on people's flesh and souls.
10 monsters:
- Semi-intelligent humanoid: Kraul, an eusocial insectoid folk with an instinct for teamwork
- Undead: Corpo-Seco: rotting corpse of a person too evil to be welcomed in the Abyss, now goes on spreading evil deathlessly
- Ancient Fey: nymphs
- Giant/Ogre/Troll: Ogres, which vicious insult is a weapon
- Great Wyrm / Lizard: Serpent of Isaby - huge enough to coil around mountain peaks
- Aerial: Imps
- Lurks in the Water: Tardigrades. As they are hard to kill, wealth patrons pay for a hunt to prove their worth.
- Extradimensional: Bebilith: infernally-spawned, vermin-like creature whose sole purpose seems to be to hunt and devour its demonic prey
- Mythological: Perelesny, feeding on regrets and hidden dream
- Foul Crawly Underworld Thing: Ghosts
