Adventure Games Publishing presents the fifth in a series of new monsters for the Castles & Crusades Castle Keeper to populate his dungeons and wilderness. Each installment of the Monstrous Menaces series presents three new monsters for a mere dollar¸ eminently affordable in today's economy. The fifth installment¸ Monstrous Menaces #5: Chupacabra¸ Felpha¸ and Olgoi-Khorkhoi ¸ presents the Castle Keeper with a 3 HD Monstrous Humanoid¸ a 5 HD Aberration¸ and a 1 to 6 HD Magical Beast. Each entry includes complete listings for the monster's description¸ organization¸ ecology¸ treasure¸ range¸ and special abilities. Chupacabra A chupacabra is a small humanoid creature¸ about the size of a halfling or goblin¸ with lizard and canine-like features that much resemble that of a kobold (though there is no relation between chupacabras and kobolds). Chupacabras have large¸ dull black eyes¸ gray to green skin¸ and large clawed hands and feet¸ though these last are relatively weak and are not used in combat. A long row of sharp spines runs down its back; again¸ these serve to make the creature look more fearsome¸ but do not serve any useful purpose. Felpha This creature takes the form of a three-foot diameter¸ pinkish-tan¸ warty fleshy sphere¸ looking not unlike the hairless skin of a human sans muscle and bone¸ blown up with hot air - a balloon made of human flesh¸ essentially. It has five human-like¸ ugly¸ pinched¸ and androgynous faces¸ each facing a different direction along the equator of its body¸ each complete with two eyes¸ nose¸ fang-filled mouth¸ chin¸ and two ears. A thick cluster of dozens of five-foot long tentacles depend from the bottom¸ each ending in a trio of finger-like pincers. Olgoi-Khorkhoi Otherwise known as the Death Worm¸ this giant worm-like creature is actually distantly related to the caecilians¸ and thus an amphibian of sorts¸ though through magical mutation it possesses abilities more like that of a reptile. Death Worms range in length from six inches to 30 feet¸ being six inches long per hit point¸ and one-tenth their length in diameter. They are limbless¸ and they appear to be segmented¸ like a worm¸ as their serpentine body is divided by ring-shaped folds; thus the confusion as to its true nature¸ as it physically resembles a giant worm. Its head is covered with thick¸ bony plates that it uses to push through soil and even stone with greater ease; these open wide in a four-pointed star fashion¸ almost like razor-sharp mandibles¸ to reveal its fanged maw. Coloration is a brick to scarlet red¸ with the bony head and fangs pure white. Monstrous Menaces #5: Chupacabra¸ Felpha¸ and Olgoi-Khorkhoi By James Mishler AGP06005¸ 9-page PDF¸ $1.00 MSRP Game On!
