Synopsis "Mythic Monsters: South Pacific (in English)"
Beasts of the Sunny South Seas! Mythic Monsters: South Pacific brings you an awesome array of marvelous and menacing creatures from the open oceans and archipelagos of the Pacific Ocean, from Indonesia and the Philippines in the west across Australia, New Zealand, and the far-flung islands of Polynesia. These cunning creatures range from CR 1 to CR 16 and include monsters malevolent and benign. Some are amazing exemplars of exotic animals given new life like the hungry thylacine, the absurdly adorable platypus, and the iconic kangaroo, or their neolithic forebears like the flightless moa and the toothy megalania lizard. Others are mysterious half-human races that keep to the shadows of the wild like the Sumatran orang-pendak or the oceangoing adaro shark-people. Deathless horrors lurk in the shadows like the bloodthirsty polong of Malaysia and the dismembered penanggalen and manananggal of the Philippines, alongside blight-spawned demons like the kapre jungle hunter and the plague-bringing papinijuwari of Australia. Some monsters of the South Seas are made rather than born, with constructs like the colossal coral golem and the titanic tiberolith! As if a dozen and one existing monsters were not enough, the brand-new tiddalik is a strange trickster, an ever-thirsty mystic frog that is peaceful by nature, but whose prodigious consumption threatens all around it unless they can untangle the riddle of its mirth. In addition to the featured creatures, we bring you a collection of terrific new taonga treasures perfect for injecting a bit of Australian and Polynesian flavor into your campaign, from hei tiki amulets to clever boomerangs! The Mythic Monsters series from Legendary Games brings you dynamic and exciting mechanics alongside evocative and cinematic new abilities that really help creatures live up to their flavor text, whether they are creatures of real-world myth and legend or creatures born out of the RPG tradition itself. These creatures can work just as well in a non-mythic campaign as they do in one that incorporates the full mythic rules, as you can throw them at your jaded players who think they've seen it all or know the standard monster stats as well as you do. That look of surprise and "What was THAT?" will warm any GM's heart. This spectacular 32-page supplement by Alex Riggs, Mike Welham, and Jason Nelson is a terrific complement to the Mythic Monster Manual, with over 220 mythic monsters and an awesome array of monster-focused abilities, feats, and more for your Pathfinder game!
