Something Awful on the 1e Monster Manual

Posted on March 23, 2009 | 4 Comments

Something Awful has a piece on the freakiest monsters from the AD&D 1e Monster Manual!  My favorite is the Hippocampus, also my daughters’ favorite on merry-go-rounds everywhere.  “They differ from a normal seahorse in that they have a long rear body similar to that of a great fish.”  Think about that for a minute.

Part 2 is coming Friday!

    Well…to be fair the hippocampus is actually based on a mythological creature. So it’s hardly fair t0 peg that one on TSR.

    Read more carefully… What does a normal seahorse look like again?

    They differ from a normal seahorse in that no part of them looks like a seahorse!

    Gold.
