February 30th

I knew somebody wasn't from around here.

Any... ...way, here's a subject somebody might want to tackle; cryptids

A cryptid is an animal which may exist, but whose existence has yet to be confirmed by science. The most famous cryptids include the Loch Ness Monster, the sasquatch, and the yeti. Other, lesser known cryptids include the nandi bear of Kenya and the short trunked elephant of the Congo Basin. In the ranks of former cryptids (now scientifically documented) you find the giant squid, the African forest elephant, and the giant peccary from Argentina.

For some cryptids there is a lot of evidence for their existence. The sasquatch of North America for example. For others there is little or none beyond travelers tales and folk lore. The Loch Ness Monster falls in this category. Regardless of the weight of evidence a fair number of cryptids would make good subjects for a d20 game book. Something the GM could add to help bring the setting to life.

Which leads to a whole 'nother subject, animals of legend that might be around, but have yet to be offically discovered. Like, say, a species of tentacled wolf that can "blink" much as a blink dog does. There are stories of it, but no one has yet brought in a specimen.

Have fun with it.

I'm aware of cryptids but for me most of the real world ones probably won't count as well for me if I look at them with a true, serious heart because honestly I believe that there's probably a smaller, newer variant of a water dwelling dinosaur that's minding its own business and eating fish while we are all flipping out over seeing it... and some of the yeti are basically snow apes.
The chupa cabra though... he kicks goat butt....
I really like the idea for fantasy myth creatures... in a realm where the craziest of things exist, it is kinda cool to have creatures of myth....

The Chupacabra

Never ascribe to a demonic, blood sucking, half mammalian/half reptilian vision from hell that can fly through the air, walk through walls, and curdle blood in the veins what can adequately be explained by feral dogs.

Besides, feral dogs have killed people. Nobody has been killed by a chupacabra.

Getting serious here, real life animals are actually more dangerous than one would think. "Bambi" can cause serious injuries with those antlers of his, and some have even gotten killed by a stag in rut. As for taking on "Smokey" mano a mano, forget it. "Smokey" will knock you tush over teakettle, then proceed to batter you and your armor into a quivering ball of mangled paladin. (FYI: North American grizzlies are known to dismantle specially designed anti-grizzly trashcans in national parks when they get irritated. We're talking trashcans with thick steel barrels here.)

Remember, not so many years ago three ten pound dogs killed a hundred and fifty pound woman.

(Folks, that amusing raven you so admire for its intelligence would sooner pluck out your eyeballs as you lay dying as entertain you. Keep that in mind the next time the Sierra Club solicits donations in your neighborhood.)

Yes... this is all true... we've had some coyote problems in this area and there have been the normal bear spottings.
A wounded deer is naturally something you don't want to mess with and a sickly looking deer, thanks to the arise of chronic wasting disease and other nasty illnesses is something you probably don't want to go near/shoot/eat/clean...etc.

Blame Dave for This

Excerpt from: The (Ogre) Hunter's Guide to Humans

Cirrhosis of the Liver: This is a nasty condition caused by the animal's over indulgence in alcoholic beverages over a period of years. The human liver becomes seriously damaged by the excess alcohol, and toxins normally dealt with by the organ can build up to dangerous levels.

In addition, the liver can become necrotic and produce toxic compounds in addition to those that have built up over the course of time. Eating such a liver is highly hazardous, even if the organ has been specially prepared. This guide recommends that you dispose of the liver in a safe and responsible fashion (sending it parcel post to kobolds works fine).

Recognizing Cirrhosis of the Liver: Humans with Cirrhosis of the Liver exhibit a condition known as, "Jaundice". A human with Jaundice has a yellowish cast to his skin (even when his race does not), is weak and sickly, and often not long for the grave. While easy kills thanks to the disease, hunting a human with jaundice is not recommended unless it's an emergency situation. Or you wish to help encourage a superior to seek retirement so you can gain his position.

So much for drinking anything when reading posts in my own threads. I'm either snorting the drink from bad jokes... or being thoroughly disgusted.
