Commentary: Obviously this takes quite a bit of inspiration from D&D’s monster manuals. Basically, I just took out all of the strictly rulesy things and left the core info on the monsters. Hopefully these prove to be both fun and easy to make, as well as being kinda neat if you’re tired of reading history. The first creature will be something really common on Viridia, as well as a couple other planets.
I might remove Intelligence up there later, because honestly this is for monsters, not races, and once you start thinking you’re more of a race (see: Goblins, Orcs, Necros)
