The ocean has spawned the spirit of adventure in many who have gazed upon its surface. This wondrous, aquatic realm teems with life. Lowly microscopic organisms serve as the foundation for this vast ecosystem by providing nourishment for larger creatures on the food chain. At first glance, one might think humanity reigns over the oceans because they harvest its waters. Nothing could be farther from the truth. The undersea realm has its own native master who rules its domain with an iron tentacle. Woe be it to those who forger the true lord of the depths, the legendary kraken!

Killer Kangaroos
Normally rather shy creatures that prefer to run away rather than fight, there are a few kangaroos that demons or occults have created to suit their needs.
Alien Hunters
The cosmos is populated by many interstellar
civilizations. These advanced aliens have long ago
mastered the secrets of science and travel across
the incerstellar void with ease. Such beings would
scoff at humanity’s claim to universal supremacy.
To many of them, the residents of earth are little
more than a primitive annoyance to be avoided at
all coses. Unfortunately for humanity, the Ularr are
the exception to the rule because they have found
reason to endure the trek to earth. Homo sapien life
fulfils a special need for them. These intergalactic
travelers are relentless hunters, and the people of
Earth make excellent prey!
Human-Animal Hybrids
The notion of merging the abilities of humans and animals has been a dream of science for decades. One cannot help but admire the incredible capabilities of Earth’s other creatures, whether the amazing strength of ants, the heightened senses of canines, or the regenerative capabilities of reptiles. The notion of allowing humans to access these incredible talents has been the dream of scientists for generations.
Night Mares
Night mares appear as large, black, misty
horses with burning red eyes. Some say
they’re the ghosts of cruelly treated horses.
They look fully solid on the head, torso, and
upper legs, but the lower legs seem like mist,
though this is (sometimes) only an illusion.
These ghosts of wild horses appear only
at night, and they can normally be heard
before they can be seen. At the approach
of a night mare, the area grows unnaturally
quiet. Sometimes, the only audible sound is
the thunder of the hooves. At other times,
the steeds are so stealthy that they can’t be
heard until they’re close enough to strike.
The sudden appearance of one of these
creatures snorting steam can be a most
unnerving event.
Horses
Horses have been bred, domesticated,
and used by people for over five millennia.
Serving in warfare, farming, and transport,
no other creature has been more versatile
or vital co humanity’s survival. Although
technology has supplanted many of its
functions, horses still have the power to
inspire awe in a way few creatures do.
Homin-insectoids
Whether created by sorcery, weird sci-
ence, or some other sort of supernatural
occurrence, human-appearing insecroids
have begun to spread out. The primary
human-Insect Hybrid that are known to
exist are the hive-oriented Antians and
the more solitary Mantins and Wespefrau
(“Wasp-wife”).
Hive-Mind Aliens
The Augue, a type of hive-mind alien,
are very large, standing between 2.5 and
three meters in height when fully erect.
They weigh between 150 and 250 kilo-
grams and are immensely strong. They
can turn their torsos a full 7S degrees in
either direction, allowing them to respond
to attacks from any angle.
Herd Animals
On the great savannas of Africa, every-
thing gives way to solitary predators such
as the lion, the cheetah, and the jackal. In
comparison, the gazelle and zebra appear
almost tame. Twoorthreeseem picturesque
and seven to eight almost majestic. It’s not
until I 0 or more appear that they begin to
evoke a sense of unease. With a herd, it’s
not quality that matters: it’s quantity.
Headless Entities
The Headless Horseman of legend is
one a type of spectral creatures that seek
to regain in death what it had lost or been
denied in life, in the case of the Headless
Horseman, that is, a new head. Other,
similar entities may seek a hand, a heart,
or even something immaterial such as love
or respect. Universally, these entities are
driven to commit terrible acts in order to
achieve their goals.
