Glorantha Bestiary

Description

The RuneQuest: Glorantha Bestiary contains almost 200 creatures native to the world of Glorantha or the spirit worlds near it. These creatures range from weak to apocalyptically powerful, allowing a RuneQuest gamemaster to choose the right creature to suit any encounter or need.

The Elder Races, creatures of Chaos, monsters, natural animals, dinosaurs, giant or unusual insects and spirit entities all have their own section. There are also summoned magical beings and noteworthy plant types. Another chapter, Terrors, describes the most horrific and powerful entities walking the world of Glorantha; here you’ll find the enormous Crimson Bat, the three-bodied Chaos horror Cwim, the Chaos gaggle, and the Fiend of Cacodemon.

The Glorantha Bestiary presents each creature in the same format as player adventurers. This includes attributes, hit locations and armour, weapons and special attacks, skills, languages, magic and more. Sections in each entry include Myths and History, Subtypes, Description, Culture, Government, Religion, Region of Origin, and more, with adventuring races expanded in considerable detail.

The Glorantha Bestiary also includes non-human species detailed for use as player character adventurers. These range from multiple types of elves, dwarfs, centaurs and trolls, all the way to unique Gloranthan species. This latter group includes intelligent baboons and ducks, dragonewts, Men-and-a-half, trollkin, and Wolfbrothers; all these come complete with their professions, cults, and magic.
