madgoblin Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 The Bonnacon: Source: The Fantasy Gamer’s Compendium by Phil Edgren1983 game science: Mythos: Medieval Mythology Description: An animal like a large ox, but with horns so curved in upon themselves that they are harmless. The Bonnacon is easily frightened, and when it runs away it emits a cloud of noxious gas, which ignites all flammable substances within hundreds of feet and causes men and beast to fall retching to the ground. Bonnacons can be found singly or in small groups in open grasslands. (Note I had to tone down the power of the “Noxious gas†but the concept of the beast is still intact.)

AlHazred Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 Re: The Bonnacon Or a really sick Monster to throw at players. For another version of this beastie, check out this page on Surbrook's Stuff. And the current method in Hero is not to use Growth, Always On, for creatures larger than normal. You buy their stats and some powers for them, and give them a Physical Limitation to represent the negatives of being bigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susano Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 Re: The Bonnacon Or a really sick Monster to throw at players. Sickest monster I can think of to send against some FH PCs? The Penanggalan from South East Asian (specifically Malaysia). Look it up (or wait for the HSAB....). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
