It came to the edge of the fire and the light faded as if a cloud had bent over it. Then with a rush it leaped the fissure. The flames roared up to greet it, and wreathed about it; and a black smoke swirled in the air. Its stream- ing mane kindled, and blazed behind it. In its right hand was a blade like a stabbing tongue of fire; in its left it held a whip of many thongs. 'Ai, ai!' wailed Legolas. 'A Balrog! A Balrog is come!' [ The Fellowship of the Ring, by J.R.R. Tolkien ] ------------------------------------------------ Attack is : Weapon 8d4, Weapon 4d6 horned devil Horned devils lack any real special abilities, though they are quite difficult to kill. ------------------------------------------------- Attack is : Weapon 1d4, Claw 1d4, Bite 2d3, Sting 1d3 incubus succubus The incubus and succubus are male and female versions of the same demon, one who lies with a human for its own purposes, usually to the detriment of the mortals who are unwise in their dealings with them. ------------------------------------------------- Attack is : Bite 0d0 (Seduce), Claw 1d3, Claw 1d3 erinyes These female-seeming devils attack hand to hand and poison their unwary victims as well. ------------------------------------------------- Attack is : Weapon 2d4 (Str.) marilith The marilith, a type V demon, has a torso shaped like that of a human female, and the lower body of a great snake. It has multiple arms, and can freely attack with all of them. Since it is intelligent enough to use weapons, this means it can cause great damage. ------------------------------------------------- Attack is : Weapon 2d4, Weapon 2d4, Weapon 2d4, Weapon 2d4, Weapon 2d4 barbed devil Barbed devils lack any real special abilities, though they are quite difficult to kill. ------------------------------------------------- Attack is : Claw 2d4, Claw 2d4, Sting 3d4 vrock The vrock is one of the weaker forms of demon, being only a type I. It resembles a cross between a human being and a vulture and does physical damage by biting and by using the claws on both its arms and feet. ------------------------------------------------- Attack is : Claw 1d4, Claw 1d4, Claw 1d8, Claw 1d8, Bite 1d6 hezrou ``Hezrou'' is the common name for the type II demon. It is among the weaker of demons, but still quite formidable. ------------------------------------------------- Attack is : Claw 1d3, Claw 1d3, Bite 4d4 bone devil Bone devils attack with weapons and with a great hooked tail which causes a loss of strength to those they sting. ------------------------------------------------- Attack is : Weapon 3d4, Sting 2d4 (Str.) nalfeshnee Not only do these demons, which are of type IV, do physical damage with their claws and bite, but they are capable of using magic as well. ------------------------------------------------- Attack is : Claw 1d4, Claw 1d4, Bite 2d4, Magic 0d0 (Spell) ice devil Ice devils are large semi-insectoid creatures, who are equally at home in the fires of Hell and the cold of Limbo, and who can cause the traveller to feel the latter with just a touch of their tail. ------------------------------------------------- Attack is : Claw 1d4, Claw 1d4, Bite 2d4, Sting 3d4 (Cold) pit fiend Pit fiends are among the more powerful of devils, capable of attacking twice with weapons as well as grabbing and crush- ing the life out of thise unwary enough to enter their domains. ------------------------------------------------- Attack is : Weapon 4d2, Weapon 4d2, Hug 2d4 juiblex jubilex Little is known about the Faceless Lord, even the correct spelling of his name. He does not have a physical form as we know it, and those who have peered into his realm claim he is a slime-like creature who swallows other creatures alive, spits acidic secretions, and causes disease in his victims which can be almost instantly fatal. ------------------------------------------------- Attack is : Engulf 4d10 (Disease), Spit 3d6 (Acid) yeenoghu Yeenoghu, the demon lord of gnolls, still exists although all his followers have been wiped off the face of the earth. He casts magic projectiles at those close to him, and a mere gaze into his piercing eyes may hopelessly confuse the battle-weary adventurer. ------------------------------------------------- Attack is : Weapon 3d6, Weapon 2d8 (Confuse), Weapon 1d6 (Paralyze), Magic 2d6 (Mag. Mis.) orcus Orcus, Prince of the Undead, has a rams head and a poison stinger. He is most feared, though, for his powerful magic abilities.

His ranking in Hell is rumored to be quite low. ------------------------------------------------- Attack is : Claw 3d6, Claw 3d6, Sting 2d4 (Str.) dispater Dispater is an arch-devil who rules the city of Dis. He is a powerful mage. ------------------------------------------------- Attack is : Weapon 4d6, Magic 6d6 (Spell) baalzebub Baalzebub has been known as the lord of the flies. His bite drips poison, and a mere glance into his eyes can stun the hapless invader of his realm. ------------------------------------------------- Attack is : Bite 2d6 (Str.), Gaze 2d6 (Stun) asmodeus It is said that Asmodeus is the overlord over all of hell. His appearance, unlike many other demons and devils, is human apart from his horns and tail. He can freeze flesh with a touch. ------------------------------------------------- Attack is : Claw 4d4, Magic 6d6 (Cold) demogorgon Demogorgon, the prince of demons, wallows in filth and can spread a quickly fatal illness to his victims while rending them. He is a mighty spellcaster, and he can drain the life of mortals with a touch of his tail. ------------------------------------------------- Attack is : Magic 8d6 (Spell), Sting 1d4 (Drain Life), Claw 1d6 (Disease), Claw 1d6 (Disease) acid blob Attack is : Defensive LEVd8 (Acid) ape Attack is : Claw 1d3, Claw 1d3, Bite 1d6 baby*dragon baby black dragon : Bite 2d6 baby blue dragon : Bite 2d6 baby gray dragon : Bite 2d6 baby green dragon : Bite 2d6 baby orange dragon : Bite 2d6 baby red dragon : Bite 2d6 baby white dragon : Bite 2d6 baby yellow dragon : Bite 2d6 baby crocodile Attack is : Bite 1d4 baby long worm Attack is : Bite 1d6 baby purple worm Attack is : Bite 1d6 baluchitherium Attack is : Claw 5d4, Claw 5d4 barbed devil Attack is : Claw 2d4, Claw 2d4, Sting 3d4 barrow wight Attack is : Claw 1d4, Magic 0d0 (Spell), Weapon 0d0 (Drain Life) bat Attack is : Bite 1d4 black naga hatchling Attack is : Bite 1d4 bone devil Attack is : Weapon 3d4, Sting 2d4 (Str.) bugbear Attack is : Weapon 2d4 carnivorous ape Attack is : Claw 1d4, Claw 1d4, Hug 1d8 cave spider Attack is : Bite 1d2 *centaur Of all the monsters put together by the Greek imagination the Centaurs (Kentauroi) constituted a class in themselves. Despite a strong streak of sensuality in their make-up, their normal behaviour was moral, and they took a kindly thought of man's welfare. The attempted outrage of Nessos on Deianeira, and that of the whole tribe of Centaurs on the Lapith women, are more than offset by the hospitality of Pholos and by the wisdom of Cheiron, physician, prophet, lyrist, and the instructor of Achilles. Further, the Cen- taurs were peculiar in that their nature, which united the body of a horse with the trunk and head of a man, involved an unthinkable duplication of vital organs and important members. So grotesque a combination seems almost un-Greek. These strange creatures were said to live in the caves and clefts of the mountains, myths associating them especially with the hills of Thessaly and the range of Erymanthos. [ Mythology of all races, Vol. 1, pp. 270-271 ] ------------------------------------------------- forest centaur : Weapon 1d8, Kick 1d6 mountain centaur : Weapon 1d10, Kick 1d6, Kick 1d6 plains centaur : Weapon 1d6, Kick 1d6 cerberus Attack is : Bite 3d6, Bite 3d6, Bite 3d6 chameleon Attack is : Bite 4d2 cobra Attack is : Bite 2d4 (Str.), Spit 1d25 (Blind) cockatrice Once in a great while, when the positions of the stars are just right, a seven-year-old rooster will lay an egg. Then, along will come a snake, to coil around the egg, or a toad, to squat upon the egg, keeping it warm and helping it to hatch. When it hatches, out comes a creature called basil- isk, or cockatrice, the most deadly of all creatures. A sin- gle glance from its yellow, piercing toad's eyes will kill both man and beast. Its power of destruction is said to be so great that sometimes simply to hear its hiss can prove fatal. Its breath is so venomous that it causes all vege- tation to wither. There is, however, one creature which can withstand the basilisk's deadly gaze, and this is the weasel. No one knows why this is so, but although the fierce weasel can slay the basilisk, it will itself be killed in the struggle. Perhaps the weasel knows the basilisk's fatal weakness: if it ever sees its own reflection in a mirror it will perish instant- ly. But even a dead basilisk is dangerous, for it is said that merely touching its lifeless body can cause a person to sicken and die.

Although preferring to live in bleak and desolate regions, whenever it was seen among men it left in its wake a trail of destruction and disease. Yet any attempt to slay this beast was a perilous undertaking. For the dragon's assailant had to contend not only with clouds of sulphurous fumes pouring from its fire-breathing nostrils, but also with the thrashings of its tail, the most deadly part of its serpent-like body.

There are four known forms of elementals: air, fire, water, and earth. Some mystics have postulated the necessity for a fifth type, the spirit elemental, but none have ever been encountered, at least on this plane of ex- istence. ------------------------------------------------- air elemental : Engulf 2d10 earth elemental : Claw 4d6 fire elemental : Claw 3d6 (Fire), Defensive (LEV+1)d4 (Fire) water elemental : Claw 5d6 *elf* elvenking elf : Weapon 1d8 elf mummy : Claw 2d4 elf-lord : Weapon 2d4, Weapon 2d4 Woodland-elf : Weapon 2d4 Green-elf : Weapon 2d4 Grey-elf : Weapon 2d4 Elvenking : Weapon 2d4, Weapon 2d ettin* ettin : Weapon 2d8, Weapon 3d6 ettin mummy : Claw 2d6, Claw 2d6 fire ant Attack is : Bite 1d4 (Fire) *vortex dust vortex : Engulf 2d8 (Blind) energy vortex : Engulf 1d6 (Shock), Engulf 0d0 (Drain Energy), Defensive (LEV+1)d4 (Shock) fire vortex : Engulf 1d10 (Fire), Defensive (LEV+1)d4 (Fire) ice vortex : Engulf 1d6 (Cold) steam vortex : Engulf 1d8 (Fire) floating eye Attack is : Defensive (LEV+1)d70 (Paralyze) fog cloud Attack is : Engulf 1d6 freezing sphere Attack is : Explode 4d6 (Cold) garter snake Attack is : Bite 1d2 gecko Attack is : Bite 1d3 gelatinous cube Attack is : Touch 2d4 (Paralyze), Defensive (LEV+1)d4 (Paralyze) ghost Attack is : Touch 1d1 (very slow) *giant giant humanoid Giants have always walked the earth, though they are rare in these times. They range in size from little over nine feet to a towering twenty feet or more. The larger ones use huge boulders as weapons, hurling them over large distances. All types of giants share a love for men - roasted, boiled, or fried. Their table manners are legendary. ------------------------------------------------- giant : Weapon 2d10 fire giant : Weapon 2d10 frost giant : Weapon 2d12 hill giant : Weapon 2d8 stone giant : Weapon 2d10 giant ant Attack is : Bite 1d4 giant bat Attack is : Bite 1d6 giant beetle Attack is : Bite 3d6 giant eel Attack is : Bite 3d6, Touch 0d0 (Wrap) giant mimic Attack is : Claw 3d6 (Stick), Claw 3d6 (Stick) giant mummy Attack is : Claw 3d4, Claw 3d4 giant rat Attack is : Bite 1d3 giant spider Attack is : Bite 2d4 (Str.) gnome* gnomish wizard ... And then a gnome came by, carrying a bundle, an old fellow three times as large as an imp and wearing clothes of a sort, especially a hat. And he was clearly just as frightened as the imps though he could not go so fast. Ramon Alonzo saw that there must be some great trouble that was vexing magical things; and, since gnomes speak the language of men, and will answer if spoken to gently, he raised his hat, and asked of the gnome his name. The gnome did not stop his hasty shuffle a moment as he answered 'Alaraba' and grabbed the rim of his hat but forgot to doff it. 'What is the trouble, Alaraba?' said Ramon Alonzo. 'White magic. Run!' said the gnome ... [ The Charwoman's Shadow, by Lord Dunsany. ] ---------------------------------------------- gnomish wizard : Magic 0d0 (Spell) gnome : Weapon 1d6 gnome king : Weapon 2d6 gnome lord : Weapon 1d8 gnome mummy : Claw 1d6 gold pile of gold A metal of characteristic yellow colour, the most precious metal used as a common commercial medium of exchange. Sym- bol, Au; at. no. 79; at. wt. 197.2. It is the most malle- able and ductile of all metals, and very heavy (sp. gr., 19.3). It is quite unalterable by heat, moisture, and most corrosive agents, and therefore well suited for its use in coin and jewelry.

They appear to come from a world whose laws of motion are radically different from ours. ------------------------------------------------- Attack - Bite 1d1 (Shock) guard Weapon 4d10 guardian naga hatchling Bite 1d4 hell hound Attack is : Bite 3d6, Breath 3d6 (Fire) hell hound pup Attack is : Bite 2d6, Breath 2d6 (Fire) hobbit Hobbits are an unobtrusive but very ancient people, more numerous formerly than they are today; for they love peace and quiet and good tilled earth: a well-ordered and well- farmed countryside was their favourite haunt. They do not and did not understand or like machines more complicated than a forge-bellows, a water-mill, or a handloom, although they were skillful with tools. Even in ancient days they were, as a rule, shy of "the Big Folk", as they call us, and now they avoid us with dismay and are becoming hard to find. [ The Fellowship of the Ring, by J.R.R. Tolkien ] ------------------------------------------------- Attack is : Weapon 1d6 hobgoblin Hobgoblin. Used by the Puritans and in later times for wicked goblin spirits, as in Bunyan's 'Hobgoblin nor foul friend', but its more correct use is for the friendly spir- its of the brownie type. In 'A midsummer night's dream' a fairy says to Shakespeare's Puck: Those that Hobgoblin call you, and sweet Puck, You do their work, and they shall have good luck: Are you not he? and obviously Puck would not wish to be called a hobgoblin if that was an ill-omened word. Hobgoblins are on the whole, good-humoured and ready to be helpful, but fond of practical joking, and like most of the fairies rather nasty people to annoy. Boggarts hover on the verge of hobgoblindom. Bogles are just over the edge. One Hob mentioned by Henderson, was Hob Headless who haunted the road between Hurworth and Neasham, but could not cross the little river Kent, which flowed into the Tess. He was exorcised and laid under a large stone by the roadside for ninety-nine years and a day. If anyone was so unwary as to sit on that stone, he would be unable to quit it for ever. The ninety-nine years is nearly up, so trouble may soon be heard of on the road between Hurworth and Neasham. [ Katharine Briggs, A dictionary of Fairies ] ------------------------------------------------- Attack is : Weapon 1d6 homunculus Attack is : Bite 1d3 (Sleep) humanoid Humanoids are all approximately the size of a human, and may be mistaken for one at a distance. They are usually of a tribal nature, and will fiercely defend their lairs. Usually hostile, they may even band together to raid and pillage human settlements. human mummy Attack is : Claw 2d4, Claw 2d4 human archeologist barbarian cave*man elf healer knight priest* rogue samurai tourist valkyrie wizard These strange creatures live mostly on the surface of the earth, gathering together in societies of various forms, but occasionally a stray will descend into the depths and commit mayhem among the dungeon residents who, naturally, often resent the intrusion of such beasts. They are capable of using weapons and magic, and it is even rumored that the Wizard of Yendor is a member of this species. -------------------------------------------------------- archeologist : Weapon 1d6 barbarian : Weapon 1d6 cave(wo)man : Weapon 2d4 healer : Weapon 1d6 knight : Weapon 1d6 priest(ess) : Weapon 1d6 rogue : Weapon 1d6 samurai : Weapon 1d8 tourist : Weapon 1d6 valkyrie : Weapon 1d8 wizard : Weapon 1d6 iguana Attack is : Bite 1d4 imp ... imps ... little creatures of two feet high that could gambol and jump prodigiously; ... [ The Charwoman's Shadow, by Lord Dunsany ] An 'imp' is an off-shoot or cutting. Thus an 'ymp tree' was a grafted tree, or one grown from a cutting, not from seed. 'Imp' properly means a small devil, an off-shoot of Satan, but the distinction between goblins or bogles and imps from hell is hard to make, and many in the Celtic countries as well as the English Puritans regarded all fairies as devils. The fairies of tradition often hover uneasily between the ghostly and the diabolic state. [ Katharine Briggs, A Dictionary of Fairies ] ------------------------------------------------- Attack is : Claw 1d4 (taunt) incubus Attack is : Bite 0d0 (Seduce), Claw 1d3, Claw 1d3 iron piercer Attack is : Bite 3d6 jabberwock "Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch!" He took his vorpal sword in hand; Long time the manxome foe he sought -- So rested he by the Tumtum tree, And stood awhile in thought. And, as in uffish thought he stood, The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame, Came whiffling through the tulgey wood, And burbled as it came!

They are about 3' tall with a vaguely dog-like face. They bear a violent dislike of the Elven race, and will go out of their way to cause trouble for Elves at any time. ------------------------------------------------- kobold : Weapon 1d4 kobold lord : Weapon 2d4 kobold mummy : Claw 1d4 kobold shaman : Magic 0d0 (Spell) kop* keystone kop Keystone Kop : Weapon 1d4 Kop Kaptain : Weapon 2d6 Kop Lieutenant : Weapon 1d8 Kop Sergeant : Weapon 1d6 kraken Attack is : Claw 2d4, Claw 2d4, Hug 2d6 (Wrap), Bite 5d4 large cat Attack is : Bite 2d4 large dog Attack is : Bite 2d4 large kobold Attack is : Weapon 1d6 large mimic Attack is : Claw 3d4 (Stick) lemure Attack is : Claw 1d3 leprechaun The Irish Leprechaun is the Faeries' shoemaker and is known under various names in different parts of Ireland: Cluri- caune in Cork, Lurican in Kerry, Lurikeen in Kildare and Lu- rigadaun in Tipperary. Although he works for the Faeries, the Leprechaun is not of the same species. He is small, has dark skin and wears strange clothes. His nature has some- thing of the manic-depressive about it: first he is quite happy, whistling merrily as he nails a sole on to a shoe; a few minutes later, he is sullen and morose, drunk on his home-made heather ale. The Leprechaun's two great loves are tobacco and whiskey, and he is a first-rate con-man, impos- sible to out-fox. No one, no matter how clever, has ever managed to cheat him out of his hidden pot of gold or his magic shilling. At the last minute he always thinks of some way to divert his captor's attention and vanishes in the twinkling of an eye. [ A Field Guide to the Little People by Nancy Arrowsmith & George Moorse ] ------------------------------------------------- Attack is : Claw 1d2 (Steal $) leocrotta leu*otta ...the leucrocotta, a wild beast of extraordinary swiftness, the size of the wild ass, with the legs of a Stag, the neck, tail, and breast of a lion, the head of a badger, a cloven hoof, the mouth slit up as far as the ears, and one contin- uous bone instead of teeth; it is said, too, that this animal can imitate the human voice.

The usual effect of this is to transform the human, over time, into an undead of great magical power. A Lich hates life in any form; even a touch from one of these creatures will cause a numbing cold in the victim. They all possess the capability to use magic. ------------------------------------------------- demilich : Touch 3d4 (Cold), Magic 0d0 (Spell) lich : Touch 1d10 (Cold), Magic 0d0 (Spell) master : Touch 3d6 (Cold), Magic 0d0 (Spell) medusa This hideous creature from ancient Greek myth was the doom of many a valiant adventurer. It is said that one gaze from its eyes could turn a man to stone. One bite from the nest of snakes which crown its head could cause instant death. The only way to kill this monstrosity is to turn its gaze back upon itself. ------------------------------------------------- Attack is : Claw 1d8, Gaze 0d0 (Petrify), Bite 1d6 (Str.), Weapon 2d4 minotaur Attack is : Claw 3d10, Claw 3d10, Butt 2d8 mumakil Attack is : Butt 4d12, Bite 2d6 *naga* The naga is a mystical creature with the body of a snake and the head of a man or woman.

They knew the sword at once. It had killed hundreds of goblins in its time, when the fair elves of Gondolin hunted them in the hills or did battle before their walls. They had called it Orcrist, Goblin-cleaver, but the goblins called it simply Biter. They hated it and hated worse any one that carried it. [ The Hobbit, by J.R.R.

Unto the height of a man, and thicker than a man's thigh do they grow, and in groups do they hang.

They might not have fiery breath or deadly stings, but ad- venturers have nevertheless met their end numerous times due to the claws, hooves, or bites of such animals. quasit Attack is : Claw 1d2 (Dex.), Claw 1d2 (Dex.), Bite 1d4 queen bee Attack is : Sting 1d8 (Str.) quivering blob Attack is : Touch 1d8, (Paralyze) rabid rat Attack is : Bite 2d4 (Con.) red naga hatchling Attack is : Bite 1d4 rock mole Attack is : Bite 1d6 rock piercer Attack is : Bite 2d6 rothe Attack is : Claw 1d3, Bite 1d3, Bite 1d8 rust monster These strange creatures live on a diet of metals.

Gilbert ] *soldier sergeant lieutenant captain The soldiers of Yendor are well-trained in the art of war, many trained by the wizard himself. Some say the soldiers are explorers who were unfortunate enough to be captured, and put under the wizard's spell. Those who have survived encounters with soldiers say they travel together in platoons, and are fierce fighters. Because of the load of their combat gear, however, one can usually run away from them, and doing so is considered a wise thing. ------------------------------------------------------ soldier : Weapon 1d8 sergeant : Weapon 2d6 lieutenant : Weapon 3d4, Weapon 3d4 captain : Weapon 4d4, Weapon 4d4 soldier ant Attack is : Bite 2d4, Sting 3d4 (Str.) stalker Attack is : Claw 4d4 temple priest* Attack is : Weapon 4d10, Kick 1d4, Magic 0d0 (Cleric Spl) tengu The tengu was the most troublesome creature of Japanese legend. Part bird and part man, with red beak for a nose and flashing eyes, the tengu was notorious for stirring up feuds and prolonging enmity between families. Indeed, the belligerent tengus were supposed to have been man's first instructors in the use of arms.

It was said that the unicorn had simply to dip the tip of its horn in a muddy pool for the water to become pure. Men also believed that to drink from this horn was a protection against all sickness, and that if the horn was ground to a powder it would act as an antidote to all poisons. Less than 200 years ago in France, the horn of a unicorn was used in a ceremony to test the royal food for poison. Although only the size of a small horse, the unicorn is a very fierce beast, capable of killing an elephant with a single thrust from its horn. Its fleetness of foot also makes this solitary creature difficult to capture. However, it can be tamed and captured by a maiden. Made gentle by the sight of a virgin, the unicorn can be lured to lay its head in her lap, and in this docile mood, the maiden may secure it with a golden rope.

It is known that, having lived a span far greater than any normal man's, he grew weary of lesser mortals; and so, spurning all human company, he forsook the dwellings of men and went to live in the depths of the Earth. He took with him the mystical artifact, the Amulet of Yendor, which is said to hold great power indeed. Many have sought to find the wizard and his treasure, but none have found him and lived to tell the tale.

"Since you are the one who sucks the blood of men walking along paths," they told the mosqui- to, "go and sting the men of Xibalba." The mosquito flew down the dark road to the Underworld. Entering the house of the Lords of Death, he stung the first person that he saw... The mosquito stung this man as well, and when he yelled, the man next to him asked, "Gathered Blood, what's wrong?" So he flew along the row stinging all the seated men until he knew the names of all twelve.
