As I mentioned a little while back, I went through the AD&D Fiend Folio for creatures that might work well in a Gamma World game. I was not disappointed. There are a lot of weirdos in there that I would probably never use in D&D but fit right in a GW game.
The list of creatures that made the cut are:
Achaierai
Algoid
Babbler
Blindheim
Bloodworm, Giant
Bonesnapper
Caterwaul
Clubnek
Dire Corby
Doombat
Dragonfish
Eye Killer
Fire Newt
Fire Toad
Frost Man
Garbug
Gorillabear
Gryph
Hoarfox
Jaculi
Kamadan
Mantari
Needleman
Osquip
Pernicon
Quaggoth
Qullan
Skulk
Tentamort
Thork
Tirapheg
Volt
Witherstench
I also decided, since I was statting up GW creatures, to add Slow Mutants, lobstrosities, and taheen from Stephen King's Dark Tower books.
There were a few FF creatures that almost made it. I originally put them on my list to convert, but on a closer reading (or just on a gut feeling) decided not to include after all. These were the:
Crabman
Death Dog (I used these too often in my D&D games)
Dunestalker
Giant Strider
Meenlock
Quipper
Rothe
Stunjelly
Throat Leech
Umpleby
Vodyanoi
Whipweed
Witherweed
Nice! I'll have to peruse these prior to playing my next GW game. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I think a lot of FF monsters would work better as GW critters than the GW bestiary.
