Nope its in 1st edition. Great book, lots of details about Changelings, the Old Kingdom Mountains,
a great epic adventure, crystal magic, lots of NPCS, the black wall, and the circle of absolute '
elemental power. It came out in 1993 and was the last of the Fantasy 1st edition books (2nd
edition came out in 96).

The ghosts mentioned on page 121-122 of IEW now fall under the category of Classic Ghosts
(page 52-53 of Monsters and Animals). So it doesn't matter what levels they were in life. Their
Entities now so play accordingly or give them extra psionics if you want.

Thanks man. Considering I just did Undead Hunter, Witch Hunter, Beastmaster, and Holy
Crusader I feel I just wrote a 2nd edition to Yin Sloth :lol: . Yes I love to see you continue
your work on After the Bomb and all Mutant Animals. I doubt we will see any further develops

Okay I said I was going to take a break, but a friend of mine said two things and it got my
creative juice flowing. UNDEAD and FAIRY FOLK. So this is what I came up with. As always
use them if you like.

UNDINES

The words faerie folk and undead are usually never uttered in the same sentence. One is a
malevolent supernatural being the other is a creature of magic. The undines are both. They
are undead faerie creatures. The vile fey never speak of how they came to be living
undead. One rumor claims they were punished during the Time of a Thousand Magicks for
playing a prank on Tolmet the Cruel. The other legend proclaims they were favorite minions
of Netosa, the Old One. Unlike true undead, all Undine are full of life, able to express
emotion and free will, sing and dance, even reproduce. They delight in inflict misery and
suffering upon all thing good and beautiful, especially benevolent kinfolk. Good faeries,
pixies, sprites, etc are to be captured, mutilated, sacrificed, disemboweled, have their flesh
eaten, their blood drank, and finally their bones worn as decorative jewelry. This
punishment applies nearly to all faerie folk accept the most vile bogies, toad stools, hags,
etc, and even then they have to worry about if their undead kin will turn on them. Though
undine crave the blood of their faerie kin, they simply ravish in drinking the blood of
humanoids, particularly humans, elves, and changelings. One undine alone can drink ten
times his weight in blood (that’s about 3.75 pints of blood, one-third of a single person
blood supply!). These malevolent creatures seek out to collect valuable items that
humanoids covert just to lead them into deadly ambushes. Undines set up their faerie
mounds right in the middle of unholy/desiccated cemeteries, burial grounds, or any places
with a collection of dead bodies (swamps, quicksand, etc). When so desired, they call upon
the dead to rise up and defend their grounds, so it’s not uncommon for defends to find
themselves under attack by several dozen of animate dead as well as ghouls, wild vampires,
and zombies. The undine are master of taxidermy only they use humanoids instead of
animals. The only humanoids to earn the favor and allegiance of the Undine are
necromancers. The fey themselves are almost miniature versions of the death mage who
can always count on their support. One necromancer can be worrisome, fifty-to two
hundred undead faerie folk is an ungodly nightmare.

Race.: Undead Faerie Folk
Alignments: Miscreant or Diabolic.
The Eight Attributes: I.Q. 3D6, M.E. 2D6, M.A. 1D6, P.S. 1D6, P.P. 3D6+6, P.E.
4D6+6, P.B. 1D6+4, Spd 3D6 running and 3D6x10+40 flying. All attributes are supernatural.
Hit Points: P.E. attribute x 6
S.D.C.: 1D4x10
Natural A.R.: 10
Horror Factor/Awe: 12 or 18 if encounter more than six.
P.P.E.: 1D6x100, plus can automatically draw on the P.P.E. around them from ley lines and nexus points.
Magic Spells: Animate & Control the Dead, Command Ghouls, Consume Power &
Knowledge, Create Zombie, Death Bolt (Rifts® Necromancer spell), Death Strike, Fear,
Heavy Breathing, Hide Among the Dead (Rifts® Necromancer spell), Maggots, Poison Touch
(Rifts® Necromancer spell), Recognize the Undead, Shadow Meld, Sickness, Spoil, Strength
of the Dead, Summon the Dead (Rifts® Necromancer spell), Summon Vampires, Talking
Bones (Rifts® Necromancer spell), and Turn Dead. All fey magic is cast equal to a 10th
wizard and/or necromancer requiring a 16 or better to save against. G.M. Note: If you don’t
like using the Rifts Necromancy Spells, replace those spells with any found on page 37-38 in
Adventure of the High Seas, 2nd edition.
Psionics: None
R.C.C. Skills: Speak Faerie and Gobblely 98%, Speak Elf/Dragonese and one human
tongue 80%, speak one additional language at the base skill with a +25% bonus. Other
skills includes play musical instrument (three) 98%, sing 90%, lore: demon & monster 85%,
lore: undead 90%, dance 80%, land navigation 70%, brewing 70%, holistic medicine 65%,
track humanoid 50%, prowl 65%, lore: magic 60%, biology 70%, lore: faerie folk 90%, skin
& prepare animal hides 70%, mathematics: basic 75%, sewing 65%, cook 65%, track & trap
animals 75%, preserve animals/humanoids 80%, and ventriloquism 75%. Skills do not
increase.
Natural Abilities: Supernatural strength and endurance, nightvision 1000 feet (305
m), normal day vision, never tire or fatigue, do not breath air, bio-regenerate at a rate of
2D6 hit points/S.D.C per minute, impervious to horror factor, possession, charm, and mind
control, impervious to normal fire and heat (magic fire only inflicts 1/3 normal damage),
impervious to disease, poison, toxins, drugs, etc), take only 1/3 normal damage from
conventional weapons.
Special Abilities: Decaying Stench: Undines smell like decaying flesh and any mortal
who comes within 10 feet (3 m) chokes, gags, and his eyes water. This reaction imposes
the following penalties whenever someone engages them in melee combat; -3 to initiative,
-1 to strike and parry, and -20% to perform a skill. The person must also roll under his P.E.
attribute score once every minute to avoid vomiting from the stench. Even characters with
a P.E. of 18 or higher must roll a 17 or lower to save, despite their high endurance. The
nose can only tolerate the horrific smell for so long.
Attacks Per Melee: Two physical hand to hand attack or three using magic.
Damage: Restrained Punch: 1D4 points of damage, Full Strength Punch: 1D6
damage, Power Punch (counts as two attacks) 2D6 damage, Bite 1D6 damage, plus save
vs. poison (14 or better) or the victim takes an additional 2D6 points of damage, and
suffers an intense fever and nausea within 10 minutes. Victim feels week, lose melee
attack, -1 to strike, -2 to parry and dodge, and -40% on all skill performance and Spd
attribute for 2D6 hours. Even if the victim make the saving throw, the bites wound makes a
nasty boil and itches like crazy (-2 to initiative and minus one attack per melee round for
4D6 hours). Multiple bites cause a cumulative effect.
Faerie Folk Weapons: Undines utilize faerie folk weapons (bows and arrows,
spears, swords, etc) but they are made out of the bones of other small faerie folk. These
weapons inflict TRIPLE the normal damage because of the fey’s diminutive yet supernatural
strength and the magical nature of how they are constructive.
Bonuses: +2 on initiative, +1 to strike, +2 to parry, +3 to auto dodge in flight, +2 to
roll with impact, +2 to save vs. magic, +5 to save vs. necromancy spells, and +10 to save
vs. horror factor.
Vulnerabilities: Same means used to protect oneself from all faerie folk, however

Okay I was watching LotR-TT and RotK and I'm tired of watching the dwarf fall off the
horse. Time to give being shorter than four feet a horse to ride.

PACK RUNNER

When dwarves started trying to live on the surface, one of the first animals they
encountered where Pack Runners. They are a miniature horse (pony) that is very strong,
have a heavy coat, short legs, and are considered quite intelligent. Though too small for a
human or elf to ride, they are used by dwarves, goblins, kobolds, and gnomes for riding and
driving. Humans use them to pull carts, plowing fields, and pack purposes. During the Age of
Elves, the need for mining minerals increased so thousands of Pack Runners were brought
beneath the surface to work underground, sometimes spending their entire lives beneath
the surface and producing generations of offspring. The horses were normally stabled
underground and fed on a diet with a high proportion of chopped hay and maize, coming to
the surface once a month to romp around. When the Elf/Dwarf started, the horses became
mounts used in hundreds of battles. When the war came to end, the entire population was
decimated with less than 300 surviving. The surviving animals were brought to the surface
and released into the Old Kingdom Lowlands. Instead of dying off, the horses thrived and
survived. In the last 400 years, the Timiro Kingdom has been collecting these animals, now
they are ridden by small children at horse shows, in riding schools and for pleasure. They
are seen working in fairs or carnivals to provide short rides for visitors. Today Pack Runners
are slowly being reintroduced to the world. However, they continue to function as horse
mounts for goblins and kobold communities. Pack Runners are generally gentle,
good-tempered, and very intelligent by nature. They can be very opinionated or "cheeky",
and can be impatient, snappy, and sometimes become uncooperative. Due in part to their
intelligence and size, they are easily spoiled and can be very headstrong if not well-trained.

Armor Rating: A.R. 5
Hit Points: 3D6+10
S.D.C.: 2D6+12
Average P.P.E.: 6D6.

and tails and a dense double winter coat. Their coats come in a variety of colors.

Speed: 28 (14 mph/22.54 km), but maximum speed is 44 (30.8 mph/49.58 m). The
horses pulling speed is half its normal speed. A Pack Runner can maintain its average running
speed for 10 hours with minimal strain/exhaustion (needs four-five of rest). It can maintain
its maximum speed for 15+3D6 minutes. Note: If the horse is made to travel its maximum
distance without stopping, after the animal rests it will spending 2-3 hours grazing or
needing to be feed, before it can take off again. If the horse is not allowed to eat, it will
become unruly and lash out (its hungry).

And of course for gnomes.

DUDJE

Six thousand years ago, a gnome village in the Ophid Grasslands was being threatened by a
vicious band of orcs. The high priestess prayed to the goddess Epim for help. Hours before
the orcs attacks, a heard of pygmy horses appeared just outside the villages. The gnomes
put all their belongings on these horses and rode to safety. Today the descendants of those
horses still thrive in gnome villages found throughout the world. Despite this, their numbers
have declined. Only around 800 horses are known to be grazing the Ophid Grasslands.
Gnomes are the only humanoids able to ride these dwarf miniature horses. They are too
small to be used by any other humanoid race for any other function other than a family pet,
however they still retain natural horse behavior, including a natural fight or flight instinct,
and must be treated like an equine, even if they primarily serve as a companion animal.
While Dudje can live indoors, they are still real horses and are healthier when allowed to live
outdoors (with proper shelter and room to run).

Armor Rating: A.R. 5
Hit Points: 1D6+10
S.D.C.: 1D6+12
Average P.P.E.: 4D6.
Appearance: A stout, miniature horse, with short limbs and face. The breed is the
size of a medium size dog. Their coats come in a variety of colors.
Natural Abilities: Nightvision 30 feet (9.1 m), swim 60%, leap 1 foot ((.3 m) up and 2
feet (.6 m) across and Sensitive to the Supernatural and Potential Psychic Energy (P.P.E.),
Range of Sensitivity: 1200 feet (365 m).
Speed: 18 (12.6 mph/20.2 km), but maximum speed is 36 (25.2 mph/40.5 m). The
horses pulling speed is half its normal speed. A Dudje can maintain its average running
speed for 5 hours with minimal strain/exhaustion (needs four-five of rest). It can maintain
its maximum speed for 10+3D6 minutes. Note: If the horse is made to travel its maximum
distance without stopping, after the animal rests it will spending 2-3 hours grazing or
needing to be feed, before it can take off again. If the horse is not allowed to eat, it will
become unruly and lash out (its hungry).
Attacks Per Melee: Two
Damage: Front kick does 1D4 points of damage, rear does 1D6 points of damage, and

Average Life Span: 15-20 years.
Habitat: Native to the Ophid Grassland and Northern Hinterlands. Can be found any
place in the world where Gnomes living on the surface can be found.
Language: None.

Well I guess I can let the cat out of the bag. Some of my infamous fantasy monsters creations
will be appearing in Rifter #57. I have no idea which ones, likely not the ones you see here on
the message board. Couple of months ago I sent a manuscript in sort of a Monsters and
Animals type, and some from that manuscript will be in the upcoming Rifter. Guess that makes
them semi-cannon, more so then those you see here on the message board. The inspiration of
course comes from fans and friends. Hope those who enjoy the monsters here enjoy those in
the Rifter. And the best part, art work!!! Can't wait to see what they will look like. What I can
say is many of the monsters/animals come from folklore and legend, many from the good old U.S.A.
There was also some faerie folk, undead, and some very uniques. No idea what Wayne picked
out, but he did say he select a group, no idea which ones. So long hard work, lots of research,
and hours in front of a computer have paid off again. Hope this inspires other writers out there
to put your best foot forward as well. This will be my fourth time at the well but this time I'm
so excited to see the artwork combined with my details. I just can't wait. Which reminds me
time to renew the Rifter subscription, hope those who read this post go out an get the next
Rifter. I promise you will enjoy it. Oh and I will be back hard at work on this post again in
the near future :D .

On the cover of Rifter #57 is a creature called the Makara, very nasty indeed. I'm not sure which
of the other 19 monsters they have included. I'm as anxious to see the monsters as the rest of
you. So if you are fans of this post go out and help Palladium Books out and buy Rifter #57.

Quick question...How much can they pull and carry? Uh, considering a mule can carry a light load for a mule is up to 230 pounds; a medium load, 231–460 pounds; and a heavy load, 461–690 pound. And mule can also drag 3,450 lbs pounds. Could it be said that they are the same?

Its listed under their natural abilities. They can pull three times their own weight for nearly one
hundred miles (160 km) and carry about 300 lbs (135 kg). They weigh about 200-300 lbs (90-135
kg) so that means 800-900 lbs (360-405 kg) they can pull, tow, etc. Carry weight is light because
these guys are only (2-3 feet at the shoulder). In truth they are extra strong miniature horses.
Hope that helps out :D.

Well after some time off I'm back with my favorite thing (well besides monsters as seen in Rifter #57) but faerie folk.

KORRIGANS

Korrigans are siren-like female nymphs who inhabit springs and rivers, but also any abandoned
water source once frequented by humans. These enchanting females are very beautiful after
dusk and throughout the night, but the coming rays of dawn reveal their true form, that of an
ugly hag with burning red eyes and pale white hair. The Korrigan are natural deceivers, speaking
few truths when possible. They always pretend to be something they are not, often claiming to
be nymphs of the forests and springs. This is commonly a ruse in order to acquire the affections
of a mortal lover. Often they grant the person the ability to live underwater in exchange for
wonders beneath the surface, usually a treasure they are guarding for some other more
formidable evil or one they’ve collected over countless ages. When they have the mortal at his
weakest, most often beneath the surface, the cancel the spell and cause their lover to drown.
Nothing delights the korrigan more than watching mortals drown. The second thing they are fond
of is stealing children of humans, elves, and occasionally dwarves. What they do with these
kidnapped children is still a mystery for their remains are never found. Korrigans inhabit water
but they also enjoy frequenting desecrated holy sites. They absolutely hate any devout
individual and detest all religions.

KILLMOULIS

These ugly cousins to the brownie are among the friendlier faerie folk in the world. He actually
seeks out humanoids to aid and assist them whenever possible. He is most fond working to help
millers, for nothing excites him more hard work and the smell of grinding of food. The first thing
one notice about a killmoulis is he has an enormous nose but no mouth. Because of this in order
to eat the creature inhales his food through his nose. Hence the other reason he enjoys working
for millers because he needs to grind their food almost to a powder in order to safely “snort” it
up his nose. Although kilmoulis believe in hard work hard, the faerie in them can’t help but
delight in playing tricks and pranks. While his pranks may be a hindrance, the help he provide is
generally enough help to offset the food he eat and the disturbances he causes. However, those
who do not take kindly or appreciate his hard work will soon find the kilmoulis vengeance is
anything but a practical joke.

PORTUNES

The tiny portunes are said to be a farmers best friend and his neighbors worst nightmare. These
overly friendly faerie folk look for humanoid farms to take up residence in (3D6+6 on average).
Once they take up a residence in the barn (stable, silo, etc) they immediate set to work putting
right, repairing anything broken, taking care of the animals, etc. Before long the farmer and his
family suddenly realizes that someone else is running his farm. Portunes do not attempt to hide
their involvement in fact they openly reveal themselves. As long as the farmer and his family
show their appreciation, them they can expect good fortunes on their farm. Unfortunately their
neighbors will not as the Portunes will target them for all their pranks and insults. Portunes are
known to grabbing the bridle of a horse and lead the horse and its rider into a pond. They untie
the knots of everything they find. They let loose the animals, often riding on their backs, and
whatever else they can do to be complete nuisances to everyone but the farmer they’ve take
up residence in. It isn’t long before the neighbors come with their fire and pitchforks. More often
than not the Portunes good nature and pranks result in the farmer they take residence in being
destroyed. Portunes do not live in a standard faerie mound, but take up residence in a humanoid
farm dwelling. This place will be as heavily defended as a typical faerie mound. No one not even
the farmer and his family (maybe the children if their good) will be allowed into this residence.
Portunes are well skilled in using faerie weapons.

Rifter #57 and #58 are both loaded with monsters and NPCS of my designed. Some might seem
familiar :wink: but most are nothing like you've ever seen before. Hope you enjoy using them in
your games as much as I enjoyed creating them for fan pleasure, and of course for G.M. to throw
at their parties :demon:.

This makes me want to get those Rifters. I have avoided getting them since I am a Fantasy only guy. I think I might just just go to the Drive thru or PB books site and get those before too long. There is a decided lack of monsters for PFRPG in my opinion, and Reagren, your works a great addition to the canon. Grats on the published creations.

If the lack of monsters in PFRPG has you down, try bringing a few beasties in from other Palladium titles. Imagine the surprise on your player's faces when their wandering through the Old Kingdom and a rampaging Rhino-Buffalo comes charging at them. Or perhaps they're wandering through some ancient ruins and happen across a group of Hounds from Nightspaw.... errrr, NightBANE. Just because they're not in the PFRPG books doesn't mean they cant be in the PFRPG world. Who knows how many of the beasts and monsters mentioned in Rifts, Wormwood, Phase World and various other titles have some possible origins in the Palladium Fantasy world. It's your Megaverse... do what you want with it!

The only things I see wrong with RW's posts is it he seams to be confused about whether they are Races or Classes.

Typically classes has a skills list as a per of them.
May you be blessed with the ability to change course when you are off the mark.
Each question should be give the canon answer 1st, then you can proclaim your house rules.

therein lies the rub . . the only books I have are PFRPG books and a Rifts conversion book I picked up on the 1/2 of 1/2 of 1/2 box. I did create a beastie of my own once . . it came gallumping through the woods .. it was a jabberwocky from Lewis carol's mind, in the tulgey woods. There was a logger from the looging camp too, Bander . . he got snatched while in the woods . . so did his eldest son, Bander . . . ;)

Time to explain my reasoning. Paladins are an O.C.C. An occupation you can be. Elves are a R.C.C.
a race of beings that can choose an O.C.C. If I call Faerie Folk a R.C.C. its because in my way of
thinking they are one. Yes Faerie Folk are creatures of magic, but since you can play one in a
campaign as opposed to a Sphinx (which in some other games I suppose you could play as well) I
call them an R.C.C. Sorry to cause any confusion with folks but that's how my brain works :D .

Elves are a race.
Fairy folks are assorted races
humans are a race

Racial Char Classes are Classes that only one Race can take, or a Class a single Race must take.

Race ≠ RCC


PF is no place to be frelling up as bad as Rifts is. So use the words correctly here in the PF forum. If you want to use them incorrectly go over to the rifts forum.

Well okay, I've gone through my posts and "edited" them to make everyone happy. So we shouldn't have any more
misunderstandings. Just doing this for fun folks didn't realized everything had to be so perfect. When I first started posting
back in (10 Jan 2008) on this topic it was just to share some creations of mine with other PFRPG fans out there. Nothing
more and nothing less. Its still that way today. Now I'm told type them up right or get off the board. I appologize for the
confusion and mistakes on my part. There is nothing I can do for how they will appear in Rifter #58. Wayne and the guys
don't really edit the material in the Rifters. So just cross the R.C.C. part off when you get the book. But if it bothers you so
much don't buy it at all. In the meantime its back to working on other things. I might return if I have anything new (or old)
to share 8-) .

What's in those books are new monsters and NPCS. Anything that "might" have been similar no

The Leviathan is now a cannon creature found in Rifts Lemuria (probably spelled it wrong).
So I decided let put its partner the behemoth in as well. Besides I just love hippos. One of
the coolest animals on this planet.

BEHEMOTH

Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.
Lo now, his strength [is] in his loins, and his force [is] in the navel of his belly.
He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his thighs are wrapped together.
His bones [are as] strong pieces of brass; his bones [are] like bars of iron.
He [is] the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach [unto him].
Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.
He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.
The shady trees cover him [with] their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.
Behold, he drinketh up a river, [and] hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.
He taketh it with his eyes: [his] nose pierceth through snares.


It is among the largest non magical creatures to walk on land. The behemoth is a gigantic
species of hippopotamus. This herbivore has supernatural strong bones and muscles but
unlike its cousin it prefers to live in the swamp. Here the creature spends 86% of its day
underwater. Although aquatic by nature, it is not a graceful swimmer. Nonetheless its skill
allows it to move quickly through the water-much faster than a human can paddle a boat or
swim. About 2 hours before sunset, the behemoth ventures out of the water and begins to
feed on terrestrial grasses, yet it will consume aquatic plants and fruit that falls from trees
(they absolute love sweet potatoes). Although exclusively an herbivore behemoths are very
aggressive animals, especially when young calves are present. Because of their sheer size
and power, they fear almost nothing and attack anything that enters their territory.
Behemoth are very aggressive toward elves whom they commonly attack whether in boats
or on land with no apparent provocation.

In spite of their clumsy-looking bodies, Behemoths can spin around rapidly and climb steep
river banks. They can even gallop for short distances. Whenever they encounter an
obstacle, they simply push them aside. If this action doesn’t work, maybe after several
minutes they will decide to go around. Unlike their cousins, Behemoths do not live in herds.
Bulls live alone, staking out territories about 3000 feet (914 m) in length. Other bulls are
allowed in a bull's stretch, as long as they behave submissively toward the bull. Females and
their calves are also allowed on these stretches as well. If anything enter the region and
does not give the bull proper submission, it will charge with its gapping maw open wide. The
two canine teeth (tusks) often grow as long as three feet (.9 m) while the incisors (sharp
front teeth) can reach two feet (.6 m). With skin 10 inches (25.4 cm) thick, they are nearly
impervious to conventional injury. Their bite is powerful enough to kill an ogre or crush a
boat in half. When in combat, both male and females use their incisors to parry attacks, and
their lower canines to inflict damage.

Behemoth mothers are very protective of their calves. They are also strict about how they
expect the calf to behave. Continued misbehavior earns a harsh nip or even a smack from
the cow’s head that can be hard enough to knock a calf off its feet. Calves are more than
likely to behave non-aggressively toward humanoids and other life forms.

Behemoths have long been avoided by all races, but in the last century Western Alchemist
have discovered that the blood Behemoth sweat can be used to make numerous healing
elixirs. As a result, the empire is now funding expeditions into the Yin Sloth Jungles to
search for these hyper aggressive creatures. This is producing a growing long list of
casualties nonetheless the empire is still seeking adventurers and slavers to meet its
demands for Behemoth sweet blood and meat.

Race: Monstrous Animal
Alignment: Considered miscreant
The Eight Attributes: I.Q. 1D6 (low animal intelligence), M.E. 1D6, M.A. 1D4, P.S.
18+3D6 (supernatural), P.P. 2D6, P.E. 18+3D6, P.B. 1D6+4, Spd 2D6 on land, but can perform
a short burst of speed at 25 mph (40.25 km) lasting only 1D4 minutes/20 mph (32 km) in
water.
Hit Points: 2D6x10 + P.E. attribute score.
S.D.C.: 3D6x10
Natural Armor Rating: 14
Horror Factor: 15
P.P.E.: 6D6 + P.E. attribute score.
Magic: None
Psionics: None.
Natural Abilities: Supernatural strength and endurance, open mouth to a 150 degree
angle, swim 90%, hold breath for 2D6 minutes, average day vision, nightvision 40 feet (12
m), keen sense of smell, and superior sense of hearing, recognize shapes underwater (can
tell if it’s a humanoid, a specific type of fish, plant, boat, etc) 82%, estimate an object’s
location while in water 44%, estimate an objects distance, direction, and speed while in
water 64%, and bio-regenerate 6D6 hit points/S.D.C. six times a day (once every hour).
Special Abilities: Hyper Aggression; the appearance of humanoids (elves in
particular) trigger behemoths into a fury, causing them to attack the source of their anger
until its dead, motionless (playing dead or being extremely submissive), or flees the
immediate area. While in this hyper aggressive state the animals enjoys the following
bonuses: +4 to roll with punch/fall, +1 to strike and parry, and a one-time bonus of 30 extra
S.D.C. and 4D6 extra hit points. The extra S.D.C. and hit points cannot be bio-regenerated.
The hyper state can only be done once every 24 hours.
Hardened Skin; the skin is so strong and thick, it only takes half damage from arrows,
bolts, and normal melee weapons and one-third the normal damage from hand held projectile
weapons even if they penetrate is natural armor rating. Energy attacks, (including magical
ones), magic weapons, and modern range weapons if they penetrate the natural armor
rating inflict normal damage. Supernatural strength attacks inflict full damage if they
by-pass the natural armor rating, but only half damage if they fail to do so. That is how
resilient a Behemoth’s skin really is.
Blood Sweat; this mysterious reddish brown liquid seeping out of the skin is the
source of their bio-regenerative capabilities. It can only be produced six times a day.
Fecal Scatter: Just before a confrontation, a bull rapid switches its tail as he
produces feces. This action scatters the waste for 1D6 yards/meters. This produces the
same effect as a 1st level Cloud of Stench.
Damage: Supernatural P.S., Bite is the equivalent of a full strength punch with a
bonus of 2D6, stomp is equal to a restrained punch, a head butt is equal to half the normal
full strength punch damage, and trample/charge is equal to a power punch blow.
Bonuses: +2 to strike, +2 to parry, +3 to save vs. poison & disease, and +12 to save
vs. horror factor. Additional bonuses in water: +1 to initiative, +3 to strike, +1 to dodge,
and no minuses/penalties apply when blinded or in total darkness. Bite inflicts double
damage on an unmodified roll of 19-20.
Value: Meat (one lbs of flesh 300-500 gold, cannot be more than 48 hours). Preserve
Food has an accumulative -10% penalty every 24 hours after the first forty-eight. Western
Alchemists will pay 6000 gold per oz of sweated blood (not the blood produced by open
wounds, yes they can tell the difference). The sweated blood can be used to make Potions
of Healing, Healing (superior), and the newly discovered Potion of Renewal (restores 4D6 hit
points and 1D4x10 S.D.C. simultaneously, can be used to help reattached lost fingers, toes,
eyes, ears, noses, etc. Will not restore lost limbs or internal organs. Cost: 3000 gold per oz.
Very rare. Tusks 400 gold, but to native tribes in Yin Sloth Jungle they are considered
priceless.
Average Life Span: 80-100 years
Habitat: Swamps of the Yin Sloth Jungle and possibly the western half of the remote
regions of Land of the South Winds. Those found in the regions of Mount Nimiro have all
been slain and eaten.
Language: None, but they seemingly understand Faerie Speak, which can be used to
calm their aggression.
Enemies: They simply hate elves for reasons no one knows. They are mindlessly
aggressive toward all humanoids. Dragons are avoided as are true giants.
Allies: Faerie Folk are the only beings considered friendly and behemoth will peacefully coexist with.
Physical Appearance: They are a giant species of hippopotamus. The animal’s upper
parts are purplish-gray to blue-black while the under parts and areas around the eyes and
ears can be brownish-pink. The animal’s eyes appear to be on short eye stalks. Their stub
tail is typically 22 inches (55 cm) long.
Size: Adults males can reach 22 feet (6.7 m) in length and stand 7¼ feet (2.2 m) tall
at the shoulder. Females are several inches shorter.
Weight: Some very large bull can reach 13,000 lbs (5850 kg) or 6.5 tons. Females
generally weight between 8500 and 10,000 lbs (3825 to 4500 kg).
Rifts® Conversion Notes: Becomes a M.D.C. creature in Mega-Damage settings with
1D6x100+200 M.D.C., but when the creature becomes frenzied its M.D.C. increases by 30
percent. In the Rifts® Earth setting, Behemoth can be found in any fresh water swampland
far removed from humanoid civilization, especially in Africa and Dinosaur Swamp).
