[QUOTE="D.Shaffer, post: 3202431, member: 8918"] During the 19th century, lumberjacks in the American and Canadian forests told a variety of tall tales and legends. Many of these involved strange creatures, some amusing and some horrific. These creatures have come to be known as 'fearsome critters', and the term is often used to describe any 'impossible' creature that developed out of American/Canadian frontier folklore. While it's doubtfuly any but the gullible newcomer actually believed any of them, I've always been fascinated with the things. Since I've had some long stretches of free time at work, lately, I'm going to work on converting some of the more Fearsome varieties into 3.5 stats both to help exercise my monster making skills and stat checking, but also because I'd like to share some of my interpretations of the things. In all cases, opinions, corrections, and your own interpretations are always welcome.
