Creatures with Monsters

Monsters are adversarial creatures that test courage, order, and prudence in myths and legends. They appear at river mouths, caves, ruins, marshes, reefs, and city edges where travel is risky. Functions include ravager, devourer, deceiver, storm maker, boundary breaker, and judge of reckless vows. Symbols include maws and coils, claws and talons, venom and smoke, broken pillars, and labyrinthine paths. Entries explain how communities respond with charms, offerings, and rules of passage that limit harm. Tiles allow search by habitat, threat type, or motif with cards that record sources, variant names, and iconography.
