Description
Bombadire: widely used in the middle ages as war-monsters, these creatures are a true rarity in today's monster arenas. They are seen as a novel but impractical "antique", constructed and trained only by wealthy traditionalists. Indeed, as one of the first monsters to incorporate a rifle, they require a good deal more maintenance, loading time, and outdated materials (gunpowder) for most modern tastes. In the hands of a devoted owner, however, the Bombadire can be every bit as formidable as they were on bygone battlefields.

Jennyvex: another "witch" like the Banshe or Bagayaba, their comical appearance belies one of the most cold and wicked minds in the monster kingdom. Like their aforementioned brethren, they utilize psionics to induce terrible maladies on those who cross them (even their own masters, when mistreated) from aches and boils to mental breakdown, and take pleasure in watching the results. They seem to lose control of themselves under the full moon, leaping and twirling in circles until dawn.

Q-lex: a fusion between a female human and mosquito (males do not survive the process, and wouldn't be as useful anyway). The Q-lex lacks the agility and incredible leap of the Heartsucker (a more popular flea-based hybrid) but is larger and much stronger. It is attracted to stagnant water, but like other monsters, only a tiny percentage of Q-lex are capable of reproduction, and in this case, only through Parthenogenesis.

Abysmal: two creatures functioning as a single entity, the Abysmal consists of an eerie piscoid predator (always female) able to float through air as easily as through water, and a humanoid "lure" (also female) with a mind of its own and a powerful hypnotic voice. Women are immune to the Abysmal's call, but males (human, animal or monster) wander straight into the gaping jaws of the "feeding body", which prefers to eat only the head of its prey. Like many monsters, the lure is capable of normal communication, but always maintains that she is merely one "half" of the whole creature, neither mind taking precedence over the other. An Abysmal can sometimes reproduce itself by budding, but the tadpole-like larva, fully aquatic, does not sprout a lure until fully grown.

Bonnagander: the origin of these exceedingly bizarre creations is not known, and few have even heard of them to begin with. Considered by many to be truly "evil" monsters, they seem to somehow "feed" on the pain of others, and generate an insidious telepathic miasma that causes intense mental anguish in their enemies. Gentle music seems to entrance them, but this intensifies their negative aura seemingly beyond their own control. An unseen Bonnagander can drive an entire orchestra to madness, happily swaying to the music even after it degenerates into screams and wails.

Thole: defective monster. Emits a pleasant flutelike melody but with a pungent odor. Its flesh has the consistency and texture of wood, oddly freezing to the touch.
