  • Bestiary of the Realms: Volume 2
    Bestiary of the Realms: Volume 2 by Thomas M. Costa and Eric L. Boyd Art by Noëlle Triaureau Editorial assistance from Joe “Warlockco” Weber A NOTE FROM THE AUTHORS Welcome to volume two of the Bestiary of the Realms. As this is our second volume, you’ll find several score new or converted monsters, as well as a few different interpretations of monsters that have already been converted. A word of caution, just as many official 3E and 3.5E monsters did not slavishly follow earlier write-ups of those monsters, neither do the monsters herein. Instead, we did our best to consider all sources, hopefully make full and creative use of the 3.5E rules (including non-core WotC books), and in many cases add a little bit here and there to many of the monsters, even if it was in only adding or updating their Realms lore. A few have even been renamed. One last note, we’ve done our best to include source references for all things where appropriate, except those found in the three core rulebooks or Expanded Psionics Handbook. Until then, Sword High! – Thomas M. Costa and Eric L. Boyd ABOUT THE AUTHORS Thomas M. Costa is a senior analyst with the Government Accountability Office. He has been a contributor to several Wizards of the Coast products including Demihuman Deities and Races of Faerûn, and is the author of several Dragon Magazine and Wizards of the Coast website articles. He can be reached at [email protected]. Eric L. Boyd is a software designer and freelance game designer.

Dragons are jealous creatures, guarding their hoards and knowledge from all comers. Some few among the metallics are benevolent enough to aid those in need, but never at the expense of their own wealth. Scions of ancient wisdom and powers that near godhood in some worlds, dragons have been the centerpiece of any tale of glory or magic. Yet, there comes a time, even for dragons, when it is beneficial to split their power. Perhaps to empower a minion to act on their behalf, sowing discord among their enemies. Perhaps to protect their own lineage among the mortals, when a line fails to produce a sorcerer. Maybe they are willing to give a fraction of themselves for reasons beyond mortal ken, as they approach their twilight years and begun to understand the motivations of gods. None can truly know the motivations of a dragon, but there are a few individuals out there that benefit from their power, forming binding pacts with their scaled patrons.
