What do the Monsters Look Like?

Monsters - M

Mad Wizard This golden-robed man has frizzy grey hair and wears thick spectacles. He hurries about nervously, with a crazed expression on his face.
The mad wizard looks at you and shouts, "GET OUT! You're disturbing my experiments! GET OUT!"
Mage Spirit Before you stands the shadowed image of a black-shrouded dark elf. His bright blue eyes peer from the depths of his hood, and as he looks you up and down, he seems to nod to himself in satisfaction.
The mage 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."
Magma Golem This massive figure appears to be a magical creation of raging-hot magma. The ground hisses with each slow step it takes, and its great size causes the ground to almost shake. It looks at you with eyes of fire, telling you of the burning death that awaits.
The magma golem gurgles and bubbles.
Magma Man This large, glowing figure seems to be made entirely of red-hot lava! It moves slowly, its huge bulk being a great encumbrance, but its burning fists could cause horrendous damage.
The magma man bubbles and spits!
Male Slave This was once a man, but now he is just a beaten, humbled shell of what he once was. He is dirty and grimy and has huge bruises on his back from whip-scars. He was captured by the amazon tribe and will now live out the rest of his days a slave to their whim.
The male slave looks up at you hopelessly, then continues on its way.
Mamba Easily surpassing forty feet in length this snake is at least as wide around as a halfling barkeep. Rather than slithering, as most snakes do, she moves with little effort and amazing speed you could liken it to a stream of black water flowing in your direction.
The icy gaze of the mamba sends a shiver up your spine ad the words you speak only seem to anger her more.
Mangy Dog You almost gag from the smell that rises from the fur of this filthy mutt. He glances at you once barring his teeth, and then begins to clean his nether regions.
The mangy dog growls at you menacingly!
Manscorpion This hideous creature is part scorpion and part humanoid. Atop a giant scorpion's dun-colored body is the upper body of a human. Its skin is tough and flexible, and it possesses a brutal cunning. These strange creatures use long polearms in addition to their stingers.
Manscorpion King This hideous creature is part scorpion and part humanoid. Atop a giant scorpion's dun-colored body is the upper body of a human. Huge and incredibly tough, the king of the manscorpions is a fearsome warrior as well as a skilled spellcaster.
Manscorpion Shaman This hideous creature is part scorpion and part humanoid. Atop a giant scorpion's dun-colored body is the upper body of a human. Its skin is tough and flexible, and it possesses a brutal cunning. These strange creatures use long polearms in addition to their stingers.
Manticore The manticore is a strange beast indeed -- with the body, legs and mane of a lion, the wings of a bat, an almost demonic-looking man's head, and a spiked tail, it qualifies as one of the oddest monstrosities encounterable. It is a fierce and ruthless fighter.
The manticore roars in fury!
Margoyle This hideous creature appears to be made out of dark grey stone. Its curved claws, batlike wings, and horned, demon-like head instill fear in all but the boldest adventurers. They are known to be vicious fighters, delighting in torture when their adversary is down.
The margoyle grins at you evilly!
Massive Chest This huge black chest is carved from some sort of glossy stone. Its surface is smooth and marbled with grey. Strangely, there is no lock on it, and no apparent way to open it.
Massive Cocoon This massive cocoom hangs lifelessly from a thick strand of webbing in the center of the room. The entire cocoon is coated in some kind of green, sticky liquid, and a steady drip from the hanging mass has formed a large pool underneath it.
Massive Fanged Spider Only partially visible due to the poor lighting of the area, this spider is easily four times the size of the other spiders of the web. The eye bundle staring at you glows with a low green light and the huge fangs beneath it drip with venom.
The massive fanged spider scuttles towards you, chittering madly!
Massive Ice Dragon This gigantic, white-scaled lizard is nearly seventy-five feet from its icy snout to its frigid tail. Its frosty blue eyes stare at you in pure malevolence. You see parts of its body covered in thick sheets of ice.
Master Assassin #1 This lithe, well-built woman has the smooth, angular features of a dark-elf. She is garbed in a leathery black wrap, and wields a pair of long, slightly curved blades. She moves with the deadly grace of a predator, and has a ruthless gleam in her eyes.
The master assassin grins at you coldly, her beautiful features utterly ruthless and calcumating. She growls, "Quiet, mongrel, and enjoy your final few breaths before I rip out your heart."
Master Assassin #2 This lithe, well-built woman has the smooth, angular features of a dark-elf. She is garbed in a leathery black wrap, and wields a curved blade that gleams with unnatural hunger. She moves with the deadly grace of a predator, and has a ruthless gleam in her eyes.
Master Smith Martok This ancient dwarf is unbelievably muscled. His powerful arms appear strong enough to snap an ogre in two. His skin is tanned brown from the constant fires of the forge. A master of his craft, he knows everything about metals and the forging of weapons and Armour.
The smith doesn't look up from the glowing iron bar he is furiously pounding on the black anvil. In a voice like grinding stone, he says: "Make yer speech quick, young one, as old Martok has still many more o' these t'pound into shape before the day is done."
Master Torturer This cruel-looking dark-elf is feared throughout the city as the embodiment of pitiless evil. He is wearing bloodstained black robes, and carries a nine-tailed whip which is streaked with flayed flesh and gore. A look of insane rapture is upon his face.
The master torturer grins broadly at your approach, seeing another opportunity for a long session of bone-breaking, mind-bending torture.
Master Trader Tolgard This hard, portly man sits at his desk going over records and ledgers. Never one to mince words, he gets straight to the point in a very un-traderlike way. It is he who controls this stronghold and all its resources.

With an annoyed glance, the master trader looks up at you.

"Please, leave me be. I am terribly busy, despite the recent drop in business. I have no time for idle chitchat, so if you have a reason for being here, state it quickly and then leave."

Mayor Godfrey This middle-aged man has salt and peppered hair and sports a small goatee. Dressed in fine silks he walks around with a proud air of any elected official. Despite this he is very jovial looking and you can't help but like him. Around his neck is the town seal.
The Mayor give you a blank smile and shakes your hand saying "Welcome to Silvermere". His brown eyes look you up and down, and a slight frown approaces his face. "I see we have an adventurer in our midst, well I suppose we always have use for those."
You notice he takes out a handkerchief and wipes the hand he used to shake yours with. "I pray you will nto dirty up the town too much, we do try to keep it well cleaned." as he gestures to a clean spot on the street.
He then adds "Maybe it'd be good if you went to the bulletin or bishop and do some odd jobs for them, since we disapprove of lollygaggers around here." Giving you a disdainful smile he strokes he proud grey beard.
"Good day" he finally speaks before giving you another disdainful smile and turning away.
Meia This delicate-looking woman has large, almond-shaped brown eyes and long black hair down to her waist. She is quite young, and is as beautiful as a fresh new flower. She bows slightly at your gaze, and turns away, blushing
Meia smiles shyly as you greet her, and gestures to the store's wares.
Mercenary This leather-clad warrior has a decidedly shifty appearance. The readied longsword he carries is notched and looks as if it has seen much use. These mercenaries are sometimes nothing more than hired thugs, and this particular one seems to fit right into that category.
The mercenary eyes you warily, keeping his blade pointed towards you.
Mercenary Healter This figure has goes door to door selling his healing powers for the all powerful gold coin. Grabed in simple grey robes he sits in the middle of the floor awaiting your request.
The healer nods to you "Greetings patron, surely you require my services for a small fee, I assure you I will heal your wounds and it will be well worth the cost, to use my services you must merely request Buy Minor Healing, Major Healing, Greater Healing, Cure Poison, Cure Disease, or Remove Curse."
Mermex Hunter This insectile monstrosity bears great resemblance to a scorpion, except that it has violet-black chitin, and is covered with a multitude of pulsating organic growths, some of which have small tubes protruding from them. It moves with great speed and agility.
The mermex hunter scuttles towards you, chittering madly!
Mermex Queen This monstrously huge mermex is covered by grotesquely pulsating organic growths, many of which spout nozzle-like tubes. She is armed with the same vicious pincers and scorpion-like tail as the other mermex, and due to her size, will be a difficult foe to defeat.
The mermex queen hisses at you spitefully, and snaps her pincers!
Mermex Royal Guard This insectile monstrosity bears great resemblance to a scorpion, except that it has violet-black chitin, and is covered with many pulsating organic growths sporting nozzle-liek tubes. This mermex is substantially larger and more powerfully built than the others.
The mermex royal guard scuttles towards you, chittering madly!
Mermex Warrior This insectile monstrosity bears great resemblance to a scorpion, except that it has violet-black chitin, and is covered with a multitude of pulsating organic growths, two of which have wide openings. It appears larger and stronger than most other mermex.
The mermex warrior scuttles towards you, chittering madly!
Mermex Worker This insectile monstrosity bears great resemblance to a scorpion, except that it has violet-black chitin, and is covered with a few pulsating organic growths. It appears to be heavier built than the other types of mermex, though somewhat slower.
The mermex worker scuttles towards you, chittering madly!
Metallic Monstrosity This massive, Armour-plated beast closely resembles the other, smaller creatures in these tunnels. Scythe-like jaws, fifteen-foot long tentacles and intimidating size set it apart from the rest, as well as gleam of what might be intelligence in its eyes.
The huge alien creature shrieks at you deafeningly, arcs of energy crackling across its body! 
Mind Flayer This hideous creature stands six feet tall and has mauve skin that glistens with slime. Its head resembles that of an octopus, with white pupilless eyes, and four tentacles around its mouth. It is dressed in flowing robes adorned with symbols of death and despair.
The mind flayer gazes at you in hatred, its tentacles waving about rapidly.
Minotaur This hideous, nine foot tall beast has the head and legs of a massive black bull, and the body of an incredibly muscled man. He wields a double-bladed battleaxe, and grins at you evilly.
The minotaur leers at you cruelly, and brandishes his weapon
Minotaur Champion This hideous, ten foot tall beast has the head and legs of a massive black bull, and the body of an incredibly muscled man. He wields a huge, bone-hafted greataxe with a heavy, single-edged blade. He leers at you evilly, and his squintint red eyes are filled with hate.
The minotaur champion grins toothily and growls, "Fresh meat for dinner, me feed well tonight!" He swings his heavy axe as if it were a hatchet, and advances with the glint of murder in his eyes!
Minotaur Chieftain This hideous, ten foot tall beast has the head and legs of a massive black bull, and the body of an incredibly muscled man. He wields a huge, glittering black battleaxe, and is adorned with tattoos and all sorts of primitive jewelry.
The minotaur champion grins toothily and growls, "Fresh meat for dinner, me feed well tonight!" He swings his heavy axe as if it were a hatchet, and advances with the glint of murder in his eyes!
Missionary Spirit An image of a lithe human woman stands before you. She is clad in dark leather Armour, and wields a peculiar curved blade. Her shoulder length red hair flutters like a cloud around her, and her clear grey eyes hold your unwaveringly.
The missionary 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."
Moaning Spirit All you can see of this strange apparition is a swirling, misty shape somewhat like smoke. It moans ominously, making the hair stand up on the back of your neck.
The moaning spirit utters a heart-stopping wail, and reaches for you!
Monkey Spirit Resembling a large monkey this spirit moves with amazing speed. Gravity seems to have no hold on this being is it runs up walls as easily as you walk along the floor. Fire of the dead burns in its eyes to match the equally wicked smile that crosses its face.
A high-pitched wail comes from the monkey spirit's mouth as its eye's glaze over in madness.
Morukai This tall, mysterious figure is one of the heroes of legend. Garbed in midnight blue robes, he wields arcane magic that would burn souls of less powerful wizards. Morukai was instrumental in the defeat of the dark one ages ago, and is the most powerful mage alive.

Morukai arches an eyebrow as you address him, but does not rise from his desk.

In a quiet, precise voice, he says, "Evidently you are here on a mission of some importance. No one who has my favour would entrust the charm of passage to someone whose need is not great, and few would willingly come here. Speak now, and remember that little is hidden from me. Lies will annoy me, and those who annoy me do not survive long."

Moss Zombie A massive humanoid shape made of deep green moss walks through the jungle crusing everything in its path. A hollow echoing moan comes from the cavity that should be a mouth as it spots you and begins to close the distance.
Mummy This seven foot tall humanoid monstrosity is completely shrouded in filthy yellowed burial wrappings. Its every movement is made with slow deliberation, and it reeks of decay and tomb rot, forcing you to turn your head to avoid the fumes.
The mummy's wrappings rustle quietly as it reaches for you!
Mutant This hideous, misshapen creature appears to have once been a humanoid. Its blistered skin is deformed and covered in thick black hairs, and its face would make an ogre look beautiful. Its limbs are filled with unnatural strength, and it attacks with berserk fury!
The mutant slobbers at you crazily!
Mutant Spider This thing is a hideous parody of a spider. It is almost as tall as a man, and scuttles around on some 12 legs. Its cluster of black eyes appear to glow in the darkness, and on the back of its black body are several razor sharp spikes.
The mutant spider scuttles towards you, chittering madly!
Myconid This humanoid mushroom creature is one of the peaceful mushroom-herders of these caverns. Known to be non-agressive, the myconids can be dangerous when provoked.
The myconid moves towards you slowly.
Mystic Spirit This is the image of a well-built half-orc, wearing nothing but a loose pair of white pants. He stands in such a manner as to suggest that if you blinked your eyes, he could be upon you before they opened again. Despite his forbidding appearance, he gives you a toothy grin.
The ninja 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."
