This review is from: GURPS: Bestiary - Monsters, Beasts and Companions (GURPS: Generic Universal Role Playing System) (Paperback)
This is the GURPS book dedicated to animals you can find in your local zoo. While this may not seem exciting to some, it can be very useful in a game world. Almost every nature based character will want a animal friend to help them out, so this is a great book to have. In addition, you can use this as a great "monster guide" at times. Throw the regeneration, damage resistance, and hyper strength advantages on a bear and you have a monster bear ready to bring a world of hurt down on unexpecting adventurers.

3.0 out of 5 stars
great detail, lots of natural creatures, but lacks magical/mythical creatures, 25 Aug 2006

This review is from: GURPS: Bestiary - Monsters, Beasts and Companions (GURPS: Generic Universal Role Playing System) (Paperback)
This book reads more like a naturalists compendium of creatures then it does a sourcebook for a role playing game. It goes into great detail about a great number of natural creatures that are unlikely to have much use in most adventures.
The sections for magical/mythical creatures is rather small and quite imcomplete. It lacks most of the common creatures found in most fantasy adventures such as orcs, trolls, goblins, etc.
