What? No Greys?

[Pteryx]

Fortunately, for me in particular this isn't much of a disappoinment, given I wanted the book for the animals and basic non-humanoid fantasy creatures, but it does come as a surprise. Why is it that those most classic of aliens, the Greys, are missing? There's plenty of other staples in there... -- Pteryx

To which book are you referring?

[Pteryx]

OK, that was stupid of me. HERO System Bestiary. -- Pteryx

1. There are relatively few humanoid monsters in the HSB; I saved most of those -- trolls, orcs, and such -- for MMM. Also, while there are some alien creatures in the HSB, there really aren't any sentient alien species like those in TE and AW.

2. I don't consider the Greys "beasts" or "monsters" in the sense of the contents of those books. If I were ever going to put them in a book, I'd prefer to cover them like an alien species in TE or AW.
