The glabrezu is a demon.

But he is NOT in the Bestiary. :wink:

Final count came in at 164 different creature entries.

The count I have for bestiary beasts in the Conan RPG books already published:

Animals: 81
Monsters: 35
Demons: 26
Plants: 4
Templates: 6
Total= 152 Beasts

Any hints on the percentage of previously unpublished beasties for the new bestiary?

I would say maybe 70 - 75% are second edition versions of 1E critters.

I tried my best to not re-include what I call "character beasts", or unique monsters from very specific adventures that could not possibly appear elsewhere. It takes too much from the old books and does not leave any big surprises.

Now, some of the big baddies - frost worms, man-serpent (god in the bowl) and the monstrosities from Hell (Cthuloids) still HAD to be included...they are just too cool not to get a new coat of paint.

But be sure that ALL the animals and non-unique demons will be back, many of which with newly sharpened teeth and fangs!

Cheers,
Bry

Sounds good Bry. Hey I was reading Game Trader magazine today and saw the advert about Conan 2e and related supplements coming out. The descriptive text refers to crossover rules for the Age of Conan war game. Is this still true - will 2e contain crossover rules for the upcoming miniatures game? On another related note, how much of the new material would you say is tied into the Age of Conan MMORPG coming out?

Any info would be great - thanks!
