rust Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 This is just a list of the legendary creatures (= "monsters") of the Celtic traditions from Wikipe- dia. It does not include many of the more mythological creatures (elfs, giants, etc.), and many of the creatures are mentioned more than once under different names and with slightly diffe- rent descriptions. The list also does not include creatures of the Anglo-Saxon and the Roman tradition. Should you know any of those, please add them. I posted the list because I thought that it could give us something to start with. We can then de- cide which ones, or which version of one, to use, and which to delete, for example because they appeared long after the Age of Arthur or because they would not be interesting for a role- playing game. Basic descriptions of all the creatures of the list can be found on Wikipedia.
