Medusa
The legendary Medusa is a fearsome creature with the lower body of a giant serpent and the torso and face of a woman. She has vipers for hair, a poisonous bite and a stare which turns living things to stone.
While usually a solitaire creature, there can be up to three Medusae. These creatures can be found guarding treasure rooms and ruins throughout Talomir.
Whenever a character goes Out of the Fight, OOF, while battling a Medusa, roll a d6 – if the result is a 1, the character has turned to stone and becomes Obviously Dead, OD.

Death Dogs
Death Dogs are large two-headed dogs filled with hatred. While they can be found on the plains of Talomir, they are most numerous in the Underworld where they are used as guard dogs. The most famous being the three-headed Cerberus.
The Death Dog’s saliva carries a disease that causes flesh to rot. If a character loses a round of melee to a Death Dog, there is a chance of becoming “poisoned” by the saliva. After the melee is over, both the Character and the Creature, even if now dead, roll 2d6 versus their Rep on the Death Dog Poison Table.

Furies
The Furies or Erinyes are demons of vengeance. They appear as beautiful angels with black wings leading some to speculate, they were originally celestial beings who fell when they swore allegiance to the Black Moon.

Whatever their origin, their appearance belies the fact they are the instruments of vengeance and harbor a horrific hatred of oath breakers.

Hydras
Though Hydras are primarily surface creatures found is swamps, they have been bred in the Underworld to serve as guardians of treasures and/or portals. Hydras are large reptiles with multiple heads. Hydras are unique in that whenever they lose a head, two more will grow in its place unless the neck is sealed by fire or with acid.
When encountering a Hydra, use the How Many of Them process to determine how many heads it has:
Number in your group + 1/2d6 – 1/2d6 = number of heads.
A Hydra will never start with more than twelve heads. Each head battles as if a separate NPC. When a Hydra head receives an Out of the Fight (OOF) result, roll 1d6 looking for a success (1-3). On a success, the Hydra head will not regenerate. Any Hydra head that receives an Obviously Dead (OD) result cannot regenerate.
