Myths and legends drip with terrible creatures who swallow the sun, who chew at the roots of the World Tree, or who eat the flesh of humans. These creatures are Monsters; inhuman and grotesque of body, possessed of terrible might. Monsters are beasts of fear and hunger. They prey upon weak and gnaw at the fabric of reality. Some Monsters can learn to rearrange their forms, wearing pleasing disguises or bursting into a towering, horrific shape. Wherever a Monster lurks, tales of their fearsome presence spread like wildfire.
