What do the Monsters Look Like?

Monsters - B

Baby Dragon This large reptilian creature is about twenty feet long, and is covered in bright red scales. It has long talons and fangs, and its wingspan is easily twice its length. A wisp of smoke trails from its mouth as it looks at you with its glittering black eyes.
The baby dragon growls at you, and pounces!
Balthazar This tall, dark man has glowing red eyes and sharp white teeth. He is dressed in the finest silks and wears numerous stylish, expensive pieces of jewelry. There is a palpable aura of evil surrounding him, as well as one of extreme power

The man named Balthazar looks you up and down with idle interest. After a moment, he stares you straight in the eyes, and you feel yourself being barely able to meet that dire haze. In a voice as cold as stone, he says:

"What is your business here, youngling? Did one of my lackeys send you to me for work? Quickly now, before I lose my patience. Believe me when I say you do not want to see that happen."

Bandit This sleazy-looking brigand wears studded leather armor, and wields a broadsword as if he knows how to use it. He eyes you shiftily and approaches with a sneer.
The bandit grins evilly at you, and eyes your purse!
Bandit Leader Cheap jewelry adorns the ugly form of this tall, well-built man. He wears a gaudy chain shirt over normal leathers, and carries a curved bastard sword as a weapon. He sneers contemptuously at anyone he encounters.
The bandit leader grins evilly at you, and eyes your purse!
Banshee This misty apparition appears to be a white-robed woman, her face hidden by a dark hood. Her translucent form seems to radiate power, and a chill of fear runs up your spine.
The banshee utters a heart-stopping wail, and reaches for you!
Bard Spirit

The transparent image of a half-elven bard stands before you. She wears bright red silks, and carries a golden harp in her hands.


The bard spirit greets you with a bow, saying "Welcome young one. Thy travels have brought thee far, to find me in this cursed tomb where I am bound. The dark one was cruel indeed to keep my spirit in this plane after we were vanquished, but even in defeat there can be hope. I have little left to offer, save my experiences fighting the unnamed one. My skill is thine to learn from, and I would gladly train thee to the next level of advancement. One more thing I can offer you: seek the old one in the heart of the darkenwood, he alone lived through the Great Wars, and he alone has mastery enough to provide thee with the necessary learning you shall surely need in the future."
Barmaid - Rhudaur This whorish-looking barmaid wears a sleazy outfit that barely conceals her feminine charms. She has a stout cudgel at her belt, and she does not refrain from clubbing anyone who gets on her bad side.
The barmaid smiles at you wearily, and says, "Welcome, traveller. Please look at our list of foods and drinks on sale here. When you are ready to order, just call me over."
Barmaid - Silvermere This pretty barmaid walks around in tight-fitting kitchen garb, a tray in one hand, and the other free to slap the hands of forward men.
The barmaid smiles at you wearily, and says, "Welcome, traveller. Please look at our list of foods and drinks on sale here. When you are ready to order, just call me over."
Barrow Wight This frightening apparition is completely garbed in what appear to be gilded ceremonial robes, the kind that nobles and heros are buried in. In one withered hand it wields a long, glittering silvery dagger and twin points of red light glow from beneath its darkened hood!
The barrow wight hisses softly, "Join usssss...."
Beautiful Woman This incredibly beautiful woman is a vision of perfection. She wears long white robes, and has an expression of ultimate serenity and happiness upon her face. She carries a bowl of delicious-looking fruit about in her hands.
"Welcome to our oasis, traveler! Please make yourself at home. Our food and drink are yours if you wish them. Here, have some fruit, it will sustain you and replenish your energy!"
Behemoth This massive creature towers above you like a living hill. Its four short, powerful legs propel its huge body about with surprizing speed. Thick, sharp tusk-like teeth jut out of its cavernous maw, easily wide enough to swallow someone whole.
The behemoth roars in fury!
Behemoth Hellhound This gargantuan creature is the size of a small hill, its huge black mane reeks of sulphur and death. Two great eyes of fire glare at you, and a small puddle has formed under its mouth. It grins menacingly revealing shockingly white fangs.
The behemoth hellhound growls at you menacingly, a wisp of smoke trailing from its mouth.
Beholder This spherical monstrosity levitates about slowly. In the center of its body a huge, lidless eye stares, emanating an aura of anti-magic in front of it. Atop it are eight small eyestalks, which swivel about looking in every direction. Beholders are incredibly dangerous foes.
The beholder gazes at you with its lidless, baleful eye!
Betram This portly, smiling fellow greets you with a good-natured, booming welcome. He gestures broadly towards his wares, encouraging you to browse the merchandise.
The shopkeeper exclaims in a booming voice "Hello, my young friend! Come in to test your mettle in becoming an adventurer, eh? Well, good luck to you! You will surely need some form of protection while you hone your skills, and I have all you need right here! I even have some free armor items for those who don't have the money to spend, just take a look at my STOCK and pick something your size.
Bishop This tall, well-built man is clad in sandals and the simple white robe of his order. A large silver amulet hangs from around his neck as some sort of symbol of office. He has dark blue eyes, greying hair and the large rough hands of a farmer, and he smiles at you warmly.
The bishop greets you with a wan smile, saying, "Welcome, child, it is refreshing to see a friendly face in these troubled times." He sighs wistfully. "Why, even recently in this temple, we have had troubles. Someone actually crept in and stole one of our most precious treasures, the golden chalice of Amilan! How this person, or thing, crept past our holy wards, I do not know, but whoever it was possessed stealth and power beyond any ordinary being. Not even with such aid was this being willing to harm anyone within these walls, however." He pauses for a moment, and then continues, "There was one witness, who reported seeing a black-clad figure running from the temple, heading off to the south... perhaps to the slums. Adventurer, if you would be willing to aid in the retrieval of our sacred chalice, I would reward you with artifacts to aid you!"
Black Asp This deadly serpent reaches nearly six feet in length, and has powerful jaws that enable it to pierce armor to deliver its poison. It is not truly evil, but attacks any creature that approaches. It is best to be wary of this snake.
The black asp hisses at the sound of your voice.
Black Dragon This large reptilian creature is about fifty feet long, and is covered in shiny black scales. Its wingspan is easily twice its length, and its teeth and claws could easily rip someone in two with a single swipe. The dragon appears fully grown, and quite deadly.
The black dragon sneers at you contemptuously. Its anger at your unwelcome intrusion has kindled its considerable fury, and it heaves its massive body towards you!

Black Orc This tall, menacing-looking orc stands with uncharacteristic discipline. He wears black chainmail armor, and wields a heavy sword.
The black orc leers at you cruelly, and brandishes his weapon.
Black Orc Boss This huge, poweful orc has skin as black as night, and glowing red eyes that burn with evil intensity. Clutched in one hand is a heavy serrated scimitar, and a long shirt of black chainmail protects him.
The black orc boss grins ferociously, and in a voice like grinding stone intones, "Sawtooth will hack and rend your limbs to make meat for the troop!"
Black Orc Captain This tall, powerfully built orc has jet black skin and glowing red eyes. He wears glittering black chainmail, and wields a heavy scimitar. His evil grin exposes his sharp yellow fangs.
The black orc captain leers at you cruelly, and brandishes his weapon.
Black Orc Shaman This brutal-looking figure is garbed in a rough brown robe. Glowing red eyes peer at you from the depths of its hood, and it waves its clawed hands about in mystical patterns. An evil aura emanates from this creature
The black orc shaman doesn't understand you.
Black Pudding This large, quivering blob oozes about at an astonishing rate, considering it has no legs! It leaves a trail of corrosive acid behind it, and consumes anything it comes in contact with
The black pudding gurgles and bubbles.
Blood Hawk This innocent enough looking golden-brown hawk moves through the air with the grace of an angel. Light glistens off a few feathers on the far tips of the blood hawks wings and it lets out a soul curdling call as it begins to droop towards you.
Bloodbear The deadly bloodbear is named for its ability to sense strife and agression, which enrages and attracts it. When it feels these emotions nearby, it enters a berserker rage, and races to where the sensations are coming from to slay indiscriminately.
The bloodbear roars in fury!
Blue Dragon Serpent This eight-foot-long serpentine creature resembles and azure-hued anaconda, except that it has an evil-looking dragon's head. It has long sharp fangs and short curved horns, and small sparks of electricity jump from it occasionally.
The blue dragon serpent hisses at the sound of your voice.
Boatman This gnarled, weaselly-looking man has stringy gray hair and watery green eyes. He is garbed in a shapeless robe that once might have been a shade of blue, and his bony, calloused feet are bare and tanned. He grins at you with an insane, lop-sided leer
The boatman says "Well, what do ya want now? I suppose ye'll be wantin' to use o' of me SKIFFs thar, now that this ruin's been found on the ol' island thar in the middle o' the river." He looks you up and down appraisingly. "You look wealthy enough," he says, "so I'm sure ye'll be able ta afford the five gold piece CHARGE I'll be wantin' fer use of me BOATS." The boatman grins slyly up at you, and spits to the side.

The bola spider scuttles towards you, chittering madly!
Bombardier Beetle This four-foot-long beetle has a dull green carapace, long spindly legs and a strange set of tubelike organs protruding from its behind. Its mandibles are fairly large, and could cause serious damage.
The bombardier beetle waves its feelers about searchingly.
Bone Warrior A dull green glow emanates from the eye sockets of this long since dead warrior. No flesh appears upon the undead to show the scars of battles past. Deep gouges in some of the bones surrounding vital areas are evidence that their death was not timely.
Bounty Hunter This man is garbed in well-worn chainmail, and a broad sword hangs on his back. His skin is tanned and rough, and covered in many small scars. He appears experienced and when he looks you up and down, you get the impression that he is evaluating your abilities.
Brain Eater This small, hideous demon is no larger than a toad. It is covered in slimy red skin, and has four crooked legs that end in razor-sharp claws the size of daggers. It slits a person's head open and climbs in, then controlling the corpse with uncanny skill.
Brigand This cloaked, hooded figure wields a drawn longsword and wears full leather armor. It gestures to you impatiently, seemingly waiting for you to hand over your valuables.
The brigand grins evilly at you, and eyes your purse!
Brine Hag This creature appears to be a wretched old woman with blackened teeth and back bent like a shepherds crook. Wearing a well worn black robe she picks her way along the reef cackling in glee upon sighting the carcass of any animal and stomping on others small enough to crush.
