Demon hunter. Chimera killer. Dragon slayer. To earn these prestigious titles, heroes must confront and defeat terrifying beasts that inhabit the forests, swamps, and jungles of Aventuria. These horrifying monsters view heroes as mere prey, ready to unleash venomous fangs and razor-sharp claws.

This sourcebook details 40 fearsome monsters and two dozen dangerous animals that pose formidable challenges even for the strongest heroes. It covers supernatural entities like demons, fairies, and ghosts, alongside grotesque creatures such as ghouls, pit worms, and titanic gorgers. Aventuria's wilderness is also home to perilous yet fascinating animals, including bloodthirsty striped sharks, swift storm falcons, and armored horned saurians—each presenting unique trials for daring explorers. Each creature entry includes a complete stat block, vivid illustrations, and insights into physical characteristics, habitats, and encounter strategies. Additionally, the sourcebook introduces new advantages and disadvantages, special combat abilities, rules for creature swarms, and expanded hunting mechanics, enhancing the adventure experience.
