Appendix A:
The Magic Carpet Bestiary
Molenubar tells us that every one of Magic Carpet’s shattered realms contains
monstrous creatures who are driven by an insatiable desire for mana. These
unthinking beasts are without remorse and know no reason; your only hope is
their destruction.
The Magic Carpet bestiary includes:
Apes-Twice the size of Trolls but similar in behavior and likewise armed with
boulders, which they sling at you and your castle like confetti.
Bees-Swarm together and attack both you and your castle. Bees are armed
with stingers, so must get close to inflict damage. They are more harmful than
vultures and harder to kill.
Crabs-When a Crab egg hatches, the small crustacean which emerges is
already armed with fireball spells. But Crabs are voracious feeders, and as
they consume mana they grow larger and more powerful. A medium-sized
Crab will attack you with lightning bolts, and an adult hurls meteors. When
full-grown, Crabs can lay eggs, propagating another generation of this
pincer-clawed peril.
Dragons-An airborne version of the Worm, similarly armed with fireballs but
far quicker and more agile, and therefore that much more difficult to kill.
Emu Riders-These flightless birds carry archers at incredible speeds across
the landscape, raining volley after volley of arrows down upon you before
disappearing into the distance.
