From publisher blurb: The world is full of strange and powerful creatures that can challenge and befuddle a group of would be heroes without even considered the magical or supernatual creatures. Lions, bears, wolves, serpents, and many other "mundane" creatures can be found in this book for those game masters who want to take their players into the truly wild places of the world. Encouters, Beasts of the World is a compilation of all of the creatures from the "Beasts of the World" chapters of all three volumes of the Book of Encounters as well as new creatures to encounter, defeat, or befriend.
