New Zealand Bestiary
A downloadable bestiary
A bestiary of animals from Aotearoa New Zealand, compatible with Mausritter and other Into the Odd-type games.
This bestiary is a compendium of 22 new creatures for player mice to encounter from small to warband scale. They are all real creatures from New Zealand. All animals come with basic stats, as well as a general disposition to help the GM fit them into the game. You can use these animals to create new NPCs, whether friend or foe, and spark new adventures for the players.
The bestiary is available in A4 and US letter sizes and is designed to be printed back-to-back on a single sheet of paper then folded in half to make a handy brochure.
The bestiary includes the Patupaiarehe and Ponaturi - the New Zealand equivalent of the mystical fae. They come with interesting curses and deals that set them apart from other creatures.
This bestiary is most effective when used with the Kiwi Acres campaign setting and adventures but can be used in any setting, adventure or campaign:
