Monster Mayhem: Things of Madness and Desolation, a Miscellany (Part 5)

Monster Mayhem: Things of Madness and Desolation, the Feats (Part 4)

If there is one thing you can say for certain about aberrations, they are all different. They are defined by their strange, twisting natures. Nowhere else can you find such diversity—even between related individuals. The perversity of their form and function knows no bounds. Aberrant, Perverted [General] This sickening monstrosity is an affront to the

Monster Mayhem: Terror Bird

Fast and furious, terror birds run down prey with single-minded intensity, shredding and devouring warm flesh with seeming enthusiasm.

Monster Mayhem: Things of Madness and Desolation (Part 3)

Monster Mayhem: Things of Madness and Desolation (Part 2)

There’s something down there. The waters around the sunken and forgotten City of the Nadir pollute everything that comes too close and taint all that enter its twisted ruins.

Monster Mayhem: Things of Madness and Desolation (Part 1)

The face, if face was the correct word, was ashen. This was no earthly creature but a thing from somewhere wrong. And as the waterspout engulfed the ship, the creature before me bowed obsequiously to its tentacled master, now rising from the boiling ocean. ­­­­­­­­­­­ This, then, was merely the slave.
