[[[[[oBoars], however, are a different matter. They +have strong legs and fierce tusks, which they will use +against anyone who stumbles into their territory. + + *** Canines (C) *** + +Four-legged animals with shaggy fur. Most of them are not +very dangerous - in fact, the [[[[[sScruffy little dogs] will +not do much except growl, and [[[[[yJackals] can be deadly against +very weak adventurers, but will not hold their own against +even moderately experienced ones. [[[[[oFoxes], [[[[[uWolves], [[[[[wWhite] +[[[[[wwolves], and [[[[[BBlink dogs] can be a nuisance, but not overmuch. +The evil [[[[[gWolf chieftains], [[[[[DWerewolves], [[[[[DWargs], [[[[[RHellhounds], +and [[[[[rGreater Hellhounds], however, are very dangerous. + + *** Felines (f) *** + +Lithe, four-legged animals with sleek fur and sharp claws. +The [[[[[WScrawny cat] lives in the town and tends to walk by +itself. The [[[[[UWild cats], [[[[[gTree cats], and [[[[[bNight cats] are all +quite menacing, but only dangerous in packs. The powerful +[[[[[DPanthers], [[[[[oTigers], [[[[[wSnow tigers], and [[[[[ySabre-tooth tigers] +are not to be toyed with. The [[[[[uLeopards] and [[[[[RLions] are the +strongest of all the feline monsters. + + *** Quadrupeds (q) *** + +Four-legged creatures of varying breeds, these monsters +are all quite large and fierce - their bulk alone is +enough to intimidate you. The weakest are the [[[[[yApes], who +make a lot of noise but aren't very dangerous. The [[[[[WOld] +[[[[[Wbears] just want everyone to leave them alone. There are +many other different kinds of bears, among them the +[[[[[uCave bears], [[[[[rWar bears], [[[[[UGrizzly bears], [[[[[wPolar bears], +[[[[[bBlue bears], [[[[[RFire bears], [[[[[BAquatic bears], and [[[[[DWerebears]. +The [[[[[sMumakil] are gigantic elephantine forms, stomping all +over the dungeon and waving their tusks threateningly. The +[[[[[GNight mares] are fearsome skeletal horses with glowing eyes. +The [[[[[gCatoblepas] are strange ox-like forms with huge heads but +thin, weak necks. The [[[[[oRust monsters] are weird, small animals +that look perpetually hungry. + + *** Birds (B) *** + +There are many different types of birds on Middle-earth, +and the [[[[[RChaffinches], [[[[[WSparrows], [[[[[BNightingales], [[[[[UThrushes], +[[[[[WRavens], [[[[[oGulls], [[[[[rEagles], and [[[[[rGreat eagles] will not harm +anyone who does not harm them first. The [[[[[wSwans] hold a very +special place with the Valar, and woe be to anyone who +knowingly harms a Swan. However, not all birds are harmless. +The [[[[[RKirinki] can wake up entire towns with their shrill cry, +The [[[[[sCrows] and [[[[[DCrebain] are ever hungry for carrion, as are +[[[[[GGorcrows]. The [[[[[uHunting hawks] seek prey without regard for +friend or foe. The [[[[[DWinged Horrors] are not quite birds, they +are Great Eagles corrupted by Morgoth to serve his ends. + |
