MONSTERKIND COMPENDIUM

HARPIES

--SELF EXPLANATORY.

PARAMORES

--SUCCUBI. THEY OFTEN DISGUISE THEIR APPEARANCE TO FIT SEAMLESSLY INTO THE ENVIRONMENT.
--THEY FEED OFF ANY HUMAN EMOTION.
--CAPABLE OF MAGIC THAT'S USED TO CHARM THEIR VICTIMS.
--THEIR INHUMAN FORM VARIES. PARAMORES ARE ALMOST ALWAYS LASCIVIOUS, BUT THEIR HAIR AND SKIN COLOR CAN BE JUST ABOUT ANYTHING.
--OBSCENELY FAST. 5* THE SPEED OF A FIT ADULT MALE.

SIRENS

--RELATIVES TO SUCCUBI. LIVE IN THE WATER.
--HAVE JUST ABOUT ALL TRAITS OF PARAMORES; FEED OFF EMOTION, CAPABLE OF CHARMING MAGIC(OFTEN DONE BY MUSIC), AND ILLUSIONS TO CHANGE THEIR APPEARANCE.
--THEIR INHUMAN FORM IS HUMANOID, BUT THEIR HAIR GLOWS BLUE, AND IS CAPABLE OF STINGING THOSE THAT TOUCH IT.
--FAST, BUT NOT AS FAST AS PARAMORES.


NYMPHS

--COME IN VARIETIES DEPENDING ON THEIR ENVIRONMENT.
--NOT MUCH IS KNOWN ABOUT THEM. YET TO BE INTEGRATED INTO SOCIETY.
--ALSO GENERALLY KILLS WHATEVER SEES IT.

LYCANTHROPES
-- WEREWOLVES, WEREBEARS, WEREALLIGATORS. ASSWERES.
--LYCANTHROPES ARE NATURALLY REGENERATIVE. SILVER IS OFTEN IMPLEMENTED TO COUNTERACT THIS.
--AT MORNING, THEY'RE HUMAN. AT NIGHT, THEY'RE FORCED INTO A MONSTROUS FORM THAT DESTROYS EVERYTHING IN SIGHT. WITH TRAINING, IT IS POSSIBLE TO 'TAME' THE BEAST INSIDE THEM. LYCANTHROPES OFTEN DON'T KNOW OF THEIR UNHOLY RAMPAGES.
--A FULL MOON FILLS THEM WITH IRRESISTIBLE BLOOD LUST. HARVEST MOONS WILL SEND EVEN THE 'WISEST' OF THEM INTO FRENZIES.
--LYCANTHROPY IS CONTRACTED. THE CURE IS SIMPLY INTENSE THERAPY TO HOPEFULLY RATIONALIZE THEIR BEAST FORM.

VAMPIRES

--VERY SECRETIVE.
--NATURALLY SADISTIC. A VAMPIRE ATTACK ALMOST ALWAYS ENDS IN DEATH.
--PEOPLE ARE ADVISED TO KILL THEM ON SIGHT.
--UNABLE TO REPRODUCE.
--VAMPIRES MUST DRINK BLOOD IN ORDER TO KEEP THEIR SANITY, BUT ARE OTHERWISE IMMORTAL. THE MORE BLOOD-GORGED THEY ARE, THE STRONGER THEY BECOME.
--VAMPIRES CAN ENSLAVE PEOPLE BY FEEDING THEIR BLOOD TO THEM. THEY CAN ALSO TURN PEOPLE THROUGH THE SAME MANNER.
--THEY PRACTICALLY HAVE THEIR OWN SCHOOL OF MAGIC, MAKING THE OLDER INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS TO DEAL WITH.
