[QUOTE="WmRAllen67, post: 1909678, member: 20456"] Just off the top of my browser: [url]http://www.ncf.carleton.ca/~bz050/HomePage.czlinks.html[/url] [url]http://www.strangeark.com/cryptofiles.html[/url] [url]http://www.pantheon.org/areas/bestiary/articles.html[/url] In one of the old [I]Dragon Magazines[/I], there was an article about using the "AKA" system of naming your monsters, which was what inspired me on this-- unfortunately I don't have the Archive CD handy, so I can't get you the reference. Anyone? The [I]Dragon Mag [/I] articles on playing in Africa also had a bunch of beasts like the Chemosit, &c [url]http://wererat.net/werewhere.htm[/url] has a bunch of names for your werecreatures... Tim Martin used to have a list of RW animals from ancient Australia, but I can't find his site any more... it used to be [I]Mazaron's Castle[/I]. He had also done writeups on Dixon's [I]After Man [/I] and some conversions of old 1E [I]Dragon Magazine [/I] monsters for use as PCs ( Urisk and Hurgeon from one of the Creature Catalogs) His site is where I also yoinked the term "Buata", which he used as a form of Orc for Polynesian-type islands... I have no idea where to find the many names and types of ghost/ ghoul/ vampire, but it was a site along the lines of "Where's the Were?" above... I also cribbed some stuff from the Gurps Archives site, specifically this file, for some historical names of demons & angels: [url]http://gurpsnet.sjgames.com/Archive/Magic/Rituals/Besti.htm[/url] Looking through the old [I]Roleplayers[/I] they have online could give you some info, too... I really should have kept the links, or at least made footnotes on my list, huh? Browsing the cryptozoology stuff should get you started... [/QUOTE]
