It is my greatest pleasure to introduce a selection of the critters I'm creating to the wonderfully crafted maps of Czepeku – and I’m even more excited to share them with you! So, if you find the following plot hooks and the creatures inspiring, you can download their stats & tokens here.
Baby Yagas for the Baba Yaga’s Domain – Snow Night Variant
The horrors, the despair – that cursed hag has haunted the forests for too long! The brave warriors were prepared for anything when they dared to follow the hut’s dreadful trail. Oh, little did they know… can one really be prepared enough for this?
You can grab this map for yourself here.
Book Wurm for the Great Library
… and just like that, the party got its hands on the ancient tome of magic, miracles, and more. After all, this quest was terrifyingly easy. No monsters, no traps – what a pleasant surprise! Of course, no one expected to take a highly venomous and exceptionally well-hidden creature along.
Venture into the library in your next session here.
Chromunculus for the Alchemy Dungeon
The fading colours were the first unmistakable sign that things weren't quite right. All these strangely shaped bottles and instruments, however, were simply too distracting. “Oh, did this friendly-looking and completely lifeless flask on the top of the shelf just move?”
Take your players into this map here.
Gooze for the Vale Barn – Schuck Attack variant
What could possibly be the cause of this massacre? It must have been a wolf or maybe the usual goblin raiding party – nothing a stalwart group of adventurers can't handle with ease. But then the Gooze squeezes through one of the many cracks in the barn's weather-worn roof and chaos ensues!
Dare you step into the barn? Get the map here.
Hug Slug for the Monster Hunter Restaurant
The famous restaurant is highly praised for its eccentric ingredients and astonishing cuisine. The slightly arrogant chef has a particularly strong dislike for incidents of any kind. It would be a shame if one of the soon-to-be dishes decided to explore the dining area, now wouldn’t it?
Make a reservation in the restaurant for your group. Grab the map here.
Sword Sword for the Village Blacksmith
“Just a quick visit at the local blacksmith, right? Nothing special will happen, and off we go to the tavern!” All of a sudden, the quite dull-looking sword opens its eyes, gallantly lending its services to the party. The time for adventures has come!
Pop into the blacksmiths with your party. Get the map here.
Toothbold for the Bone Mill Interior
The bold dwarf thought to have seen it all after entering this sinister mill – this wicked place overshadowed by death and silence. But then, all of a sudden: faint stumbling footsteps. “Is this a tooth? Is this an eye?? And by the gods, why does it stare right at me???”
Let your campaign take a grim turn in the Bone Mill. Grab the map here.
Find loads more critters like these in The Fluffy Folio
From fungal-infested forests to winding caverns, through the streets of a bustling metropolis, or hidden in a chest beneath the bed, the planes are swarming with magical critters and fantastic beings! Most, however, slip by unnoticed – far too obscure or simply too small to be spotted by the inattentive passersby. Only the resourceful adventurer knows exactly how to find them!
If you are looking for monsters that offer dynamic interactions outside of “just kill it!” you came to the right place. Breathe life into your campaign with over 250 creatures and fill up even the most peculiar places of your adventurous worlds!
