Bestiary Entry 11: Redcaps - insane fey creatures with re-staining their red hats their sole purpose in life.

Bestiary Entry 42 - Maelephants - Infernal elephant-like monsters known for serving as sentinels and defenders of archdevil vaults, valuable assets, and the like.

Superstitions to Statblocks Entry 11: Zduhać - A spiritual warrior from Balkan folklore, the Zduhać is said to be born with a mysterious mark and destined to battle demons in their sleep.

Superstitions to Statblocks Entry 10: Tatzelwurm - A mysterious beast reportedly seen in the Swiss Alpine regions as far back as the 1600s, the Tatzelwurm seems to be a serpent with the head and legs of a large cat.

Superstitions to Statblocks Entry 9: The Grootslang - An ancient python with the head of an elephant, this South African myth is the embodiment of greed, particularly for gems within the region.

Superstitions to Statblocks Entry 8: The Bunyip - An ancient mysterious river-dwelling beast said to ambush cattle and men that wander too closely to the waters it resides in.

Superstitions to Statblocks Entry 7: The Altamaha-ha - A mysterious cryptid living in the waters of Georgia, with reports of its existence going as far back as the 1400s. Although not violent, it is known to knock fishermen off of their boats frequently, and the mystery of it seems to draw enthusiasts to investigate.

Superstitions to Statblocks Entry 4: Houska Castle - A strangely-designed fortress in the middle of nowhere, with countless accounts of hauntings and records indicating the castle was built to seal away a gate to Hell itself.

Bestiary Entry 101 - Scavvers - These one-eyed shark-like creatures of the Astral Plane, like their name implies, tend to be scavengers, though the larger ones are capable of ambushing spelljamming helms for a quick meal if desperate.

Bestiary Entry 88 - Werewolves and Lycanthropes - A curse or heritage that end up frequently becoming an adventurer's bounty in their travels, these creatures can be feral and mindless under the moonlight, though some have full control over their shapeshifting powers.

Bestiary Entry 87 - Orcs - A commonly-fought enemy of adventurers, orcs are known for their brutish tactics and raiding smaller villages or unaware adventurers.
