Yoon-Suin: Additional Monsters

Goatman's Goblet posted an expanded list of traditional monsters for Yoon-Suin. This is my own addition to a list I wholeheartedly agree, with monsters taken from a variety of other games and given a reskin of some kind, in the vein of this texgolem post. The truth is, just about any monster works in almost any setting with some quick re-skinning.

General Fantasy Monsters

These are creatures found in most fantasy RPG based off the original. Their stats are expected in just about every bestiary if they are 'open game' or, if not, there is probably a suitably copyright-compliant version in there which is suspiciously similar to the version which is copyrighted by a certain company. The Basic Fantasy and Labyrinth Lord monsters were the main pool which inspiration was drawn from.

  • Ghost-Kin of Lahag (Bugbear): Some say they are the souls of the lost reborn in a twisted body. Others say they were the people of Lahag, before the jungle swallowed it forever. Others yet say they are children which ventured into the wilderness and were adopted by ghosts. Bent, twisted, feral humanoids with pale skin and shaggy discolored fur. They wear feral masks and no one know what's behind it. Often found as worshipers of some spirit of some kind.
  • Vikarâ (Caveman): Found around the Oligarchies and slopes of the moutains are all manner of tribes, some of human some of older, pre-human beings. They are an isolated lot, primitive and distrusted. Some have shaggy fur, others have horns and other still are covered in scales. They never speak and some believe they are from an older world. The truth may never be known.
  • Moon Apes (Girallon, Option A): The Girallon of the Purple Land are found upon the slopes of the Mountains of the Moon and look like huge, four-armed macaque with russet fur. The adult males have deep red fur and oversized fangs. They mate during specific lunar events, which occur every few decades. In the months before the event, the males with grow in size and aggressiveness. Some believe they are intelligent.
  • Jungle Beast (Girallon, Option B): These are four-armed bipeds, something they share with their stat block. And that would be just about it, as the jungle beast is a creature living in Lahag and is best described as a toad and a locust in the rough shape of a four-armed biped. It is unknown if this creature is a unique specimen or if it is a whole species.
  • Giant Beastmen (Stone Giant): Called many things which only roughly translate to 'giant beast-men', these are creatures found around the Oligarchies and Lower Druk Yul. They have skin akin to that of an elephant or rhinoceros, three-fingered hands and feet and rows of spikes growing along their spine and shoulders. Males have very long tusks, which they decorate.
