"This prehistoric forerunner of the wild boar is also very aggressive. If 3 or more are encountered there is only a 25% chance that there will be young (2-6 hit dice, 1-4/2-5/2-7/2-8/3-12 hit points damage/attack) numbering from 1-4 of the total herd."

Summoner Saga - Imp
Now we move on to the diabolical side of the coin… Imps are tiny demons and that’s pretty much it. All three of these designs are based on figures from Hieronymus Bosch’s works.

Summoner Saga - Chalkydri
These celestial creatures only show up in the Second Book of Enoch where they live around the sun. Chalkydri are described as having the heads of crocodiles, lion feet, twelve wings, and a rainbow color.

Summoner Saga - Uraeus
This is one of two echo fighters for the seraph. The reason the uraeus is connected to the seraph is the ambiguity around that type of angelic being and snakes. The fiery flying serpent referred to as a seraph especially resembles the Egyptian symbol.

Summoner Saga - Seraphim
The seraphs are another odd-ball. Almost every instance of the word “seraph” in the Tanakh is used to describe a snake. Only in the Book of Isaiah does it refer to celestial beings. It’s important to note that seraph simply means “burning”.

Summoner Saga - Ophanim
You know it, you love it, it's the ophanim. The celestial beings which started the whole “biblically accurate angels” meme are an outlier in almost all respects. Their appearance in Ezekiel's vision was probably meant to be metaphorical but it is undoubtedly a striking image.

Summoner Saga - Dominion
The idea is that they govern natural laws and the movement of heavenly bodies, so they have an astrological design motif. The angel’s body is an astrolabe which points between planets, with the humanoid portion of the angel being the astrolabe’s hands.

Summoner Saga - Principality, Power, Virtue
Principalities guide nations and kings, and so they carry a crown and scepter. Powers can restrain demons and other evil forces, so they have a book like an exorcist. Virtues control the elements, especially storms, and so they have an atmospheric theme.

Summoner’s Saga is a ttrpg game I’ve been making over the past half a year or so, the newest iteration of this (www.deviantart.com/dwoll/art/Cr...). The game is a hack of Pokeymanz by chronicdelusionist, but starring beings from folklore, mythology, religion, and fantasy.

Here I would include a quote from the text, but unfortunately the information presented in the Monster Manual about giant stag beetles (Lucanus elaphus) is incorrect. They're neither grain eaters nor attack creatures because they consider them food,

The hippalectryon is so named because it has a horse-like front half and a rooster-like back half. This flightless relative of the pegasus is one of the primary grazers of the Antarctic steppe, and gathers in great numbers during spring to lek. Dwarfs call it "kjukhross".
