Near any dank moor in Europe, or remote village at the edge of civilization, newcomers will be warned by the local townsfolk not to travel the wilds during the full moon for things that walk the line between person and beast prowl the night seeking warm flesh to feast upon. Those who scoff at these “quaint rural superstitions” should beware: These warnings are no mere tales for tourists. In the places where the domain of civilization ends and the domain of animal begins, there are creatures that are half-man, half-beast. They are known as lycanthropes, or werecreatures.

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.
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.
Gremlins
Gremlins are the most feared creature in any
society advancing in technology. While they are not
the most powerful supernatural creatures, they have
the ability to cause machines of all sorts to cease to
function properly.
Gray Aliens
Commonly called Grays by humans,
their name for themselves is the KaLa. They
are between 1.3 meters and 1.67 meters
call and thin by human standards, weighing
between 26 and 45, yet sturdily built.
Their hairless skin varies from a light gray
or grayish green to charcoal gray.
Gargantuan Spiders
No one knows where they come from. Some blame the government, citing radiation-laden nuclear test zones, while others suggest military tampering and generic experimentation to create the next great bio-weapon. One theory claims they developed below the Earth’s crust, gaining access co the surface due to a recent mining operation, while others say they are God’s retribution against the unfaithful. No matter the source of the infestation, nothing is more fearsome than a truck-size gargantuan spider, especially when its hairy legs are standing right above you.
Gargantuan Plants
In most environments, plant life is rarely considered as a factor during threat assessment. Some works of science fiction have portrayed vegetation as an adversary, whether through direct, if involuntary, action, or indirectly through the nature of their unique physiology. In the modern world, such things are considered a source of cinematic entertainment at best, or a ludicrous flight of fancy at worst. Unknown to the masses, however, the threat that can be posed by certain highly specialized forms of plant life is very real.
Gargantuan Mobile Vegetables
There are few things in existence that shake up the status quo quite like plants capable of rapid self-locomotion. Though increasing size and the tendency of plants to grow toward sunlight or other necessary factors are a type of movement, these processes are so gradual and difficult to perceive on a moment-to-moment basis that most people do not consider it movement per se.
