	Too many beasties were described as "distant relatives of X and Y"; we say too many because at one point we got a relative of lizards and crocodiles.

Many monsters - likely indigenous - are primitive Mammal Like Reptiles like the [[Tisyah]], or, yeah, crocodiles. And there aren't any ''birds'', in this book anyway. We don't know where Triassic Park has ever been floated elsewhere so we're glad to have this.

New page

'''Liber Bestarius: the Book of Beasts''' was [[Matthew Colville]]'s variant [[d20]]/[[OGL]] [[Monster Manual]], for [[Eden Studios]] in 2002. It had some interesting stuff, albeit uneven as a published product.

It has undead [[Fiend_Factory#White_Dwarf_.2359|Reavers]], here reassembled from dead scraps. Another standout is the Mowz which is a big rat genetically-engineered to cull the stray-cat population. (Based!)

Too many beasties were described as "distant relatives of X and Y"; we say too many because at one point we got a relative of lizards and crocodiles. Your second-grade dinosaur-loving child could tell you that crocodilians belong in a clade closer to ''birds'' than to other reptiles.

If you get past solecisms like this, you'll find, amongst the correlations, monsters for a world likely colonised during its Triassic, assuming the T/J Extinction didn't happen (yet?). Many monsters - likely indigenous - are primitive Mammal Like Reptiles like the [[Tisyah]], or, yeah, crocodiles. And there aren't any ''birds'', in this book anyway. We don't know where Triassic Park has ever been floated elsewhere so we're glad to have this.

As for nonindigenes: here's a link ([[Beyond Countless Doorways|conjunction?]]) with the Fay; ''eg.'' the skitterwings are spiritual mosquitoes. "Beast Lords" in Kham - sort of a Congo - did experiments to create the usual D&D [[chimera]]e along with some new ones mooted here. And a "spider queen" came here in antiquity, melding her arachnoid minions with human bodies.

Better than the average [[Fiend Folio]], we'll conclude.
