The beautiful death moth¸ with its fatal sting... the fierce pangolus¸ whose claws can disembowel a troll with a single stroke... the hell hound¸ whose magical fire burns everything it touches... all these creatures and more may be the death of the unwary adventurer unless he can defeat them in the pursuit of his quest.
