Afraid of the Dark?
What hides within is worse...
The dark and dangerous world of Etharis, home to the Grim Hollow dark fantasy setting, challenges all who live there. The deadliest challenges are the terrifying, bizarre, and fantastical beasts who lurk in the shadows or tower over the cities. Corrupted humanoids twisted by otherworldly forces, enervating undead seeking to snuff out the light of life, malicious fey pursuing their own devious and capricious ends, putrid aberrations serving masters imprisoned in realities beyond the mortal realm: these forces, and more, challenge those seeking peace and prosperity in a hostile world.
The Grim Hollow Monster Grimoire offers over 400 new monsters, tailor-made for a dark fantasy campaign. The foes detailed here range from capricious fey to corrupt fiends and everything between. The monster lore and statistics are just the beginning. Each monster comes with suggested salvage! Monster entries detail methods of harvesting monster parts to turn into equipment or magic items. Additional material discusses vampires in the world of Etharis, using monsters to their utmost tactical and narrative potential, and running intelligent monsters intelligently.
All this and more awaits you in this copy of the Grim Hollow Monster Grimoire.
