Message: <blockquote data-quote="Nyeshet" data-source="post: 3591598" data-attributes="member: 18363">I've seriously thought about making some of these creatures the normal 'animals' of the world I am constructing. I have both the book and the DVD series, but I have not seen the image you posted. Where exactly did you find it? Do they have such for the other creatures as well?[Edit] Very true. A well run wolf pack should be a serious threat at least until levels 5 - 6. The problem, of course, is that not all GMs tend to run wolf packs realistically - or other animals, for that matter. The ancient world had a variety of mythical beasts, but the majority of the peoples back then worried more about the carnivores living near them than dragons and such that - in their minds - were something told by their great grandfathers and were as common as tornadoes, if not rarer. Look how many stories in Europe involve wolves. Look how many stories in India involve Tigers - or how many stories in Arabia and North Africa involve Lions. Large, dangerous carnivores that lived near by were a serious worry. In the bible there are several who were considered especially brave, strong, daring, etc because they took on a lion and survived. Similar stories of great heroes taking on tigers (in India) also exist. I can't recall if stories involving great heroes gaining acclaim from single handedly taking on a large wolf exist in Europe's legends and myths or not, but I would not be surprised. Wasn't one of the Norse deities always wearing a wolf pelt as a sign of his strength, or am I recalling the wrong pantheon?[Edit] Here's a book that does rather well with animals: Beta-Bunny's "Beastiary: Predators"<a href="http://enworld.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=15051" target="_blank">http://enworld.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=15051</a></blockquote>
