| Sure. All of the creatures from issue #25 are from "Monsters from the Folklore of the Philippines" by Graeme Davis. The first three creatures (agta, batibat and tikbalang) are filipino demons, which are "creatures of a highly magical nature rather than inhabitants of another plane". The remaining creatures are the aswang (a human looking woman who becomes a hag-like humanoid monster at night), the segben (a hornless goat with glowing eyes and large ears), the mansalauan (a flying creature which is a cross between a hawk and a bat, with a reptilian head, monkey's arms and woman's hair for a tail) and the mantabungal (a tusked, yak-like bovine). The last page of the article provides filipino names for standard D&D creatures, as well as descriptions of minor variations found in the folklore of the Philippine Islands.
Garnfellow, if you like, I can scan the article and mail it to you. Drop me a mail if this sounds like a plan. |
