The Hero System Bestiary (3rd Edition)

Welcome to the wonderful world of animals, courtesy of Hero Games. "Why animals?", you may ask, if you are not one of the many GMs and players who have requested-even demanded-this supplement. The answer is that there are numerous ways in which our fellow creatures may add to a good game scenario. Animals add to the background detail; appropriate creatures can contribute inestimably to the flavor of a scenario. The lost valley that the Justice, Inc. explorers have slogged through the jungle for weeks to discover would hardly be worth the trip without a few prehistoric monsters to marvel at. A Fantasy Hero campaign milieu without its dragons or unicorns is almost unthinkable. That winged snake on the other side of the interdimensional portal is a quick and easy way to inform the Champions superhero that he or she has taken a wrong turn. To the Danger International hero, the African savanna would look much like any other plain without its lions, zebras and giraffes; the kangaroo practically is Australia. Even the California Imperial Valley wouldn't be quite the same without the horses and cows in the fields. Written by Michael J. Susko Jr.
