Jon,

From the Introduction.

"Although it does include some traditional ‘monsters’, this volume’s focus is not on creatures as cannon fodder or bundles of experience points to be put on a conveyor belt of carnage (though combat statistics are provided). Nor does it deal at all with strictly supernatural entities such as ghosts, demons, devils and the like that pre-modern people certainly believed existed but considered to be part of the spiritual world. Instead, it is concerned with what those people believed about the natural realm and how GMs can use those beliefs to add depth to their worlds. Every culture evolves theories about the form and behaviour of animals, the ways in which they interact with each other and with people. Yet, in most pre-modern fantasy settings, what should be a field of knowledge with its own distinct assumptions, logic and rules is all too often simply ‘painted on’ with an unstated presumption that creatures are understood in a very modern...See more way. It is hoped that this volume will provide GMs with inspiration for deepening this rather shallow view, populating their imaginary worlds with mundane and marvellous creatures that exist in more than just two dimensions. A world in which bees emerge spontaneously from the rotting flesh of cows, or where the fearsome cockatrice is helpless in the face of the humble weasel, is a richer, stranger and more immersive one."
