Aventurian Bestiary
Published: 2014

Demon hunters, chimera killers, dragon slayers - nicknames that mean glory and honour.
But before a hero can call himself that, he must prove himself and defeat one of these monsters in battle.
The forests, swamps, and jungles of Aventuria are littered with fearsome creatures who at best regard heroes as their next meal. By their poison, razor-sharp claws, or sheer size, these beasts pose a deadly danger to anyone too close to them.
The Aventurian Bestiary contains more than forty gruesome monsters and over two dozen dangerous animals that pose a challenge to any group of heroes. Although every adventurer dreamed as a child of killing a giant lidworm and plundering its stronghold, such a feat is not that simple.
The source book describes beings such as demons, fairies and spirits, but also creatures of flesh and blood, such as the corpse-eating ghoul, the stinking pitworm or the gigantic snare.
But not only monsters and supernatural monsters cavort on Aventuria, also the multitude of dangerous, interesting or useful animals is breathtaking. Blood-seeking striped sharks, storm kestrels and horned lizards inhabit Aventuria's seas, sky and mainland and pose a threat to all travelling heroes.
All creatures are described in detail, are equipped with a complete value box and illustrated in colour.
In addition to the description of the monsters and animals, the Bestiary also contains expansion rules for prey exploitation, hunting specific game, new advantages and disadvantages, swarm rules and special skills for animal combat.
