List of New Monsters in DFRPG

[Humabout]

Does anyone have a list of new monsters in DFRPG? Standard DF already has over 80 (more like 160+ depending on how you count entries in Icky Goo). I'm curious what standard DF people are missing out on.

Thanks! Looks like only Bear, Dragon, The Evil Dead, Lion, Swarms, Tiger, Vampire, and Werewolf are new. Cool.

I think you'll find the Bear, Lion and Tiger are from Basic (Campaigns), while the Dragon, Vampire and Werewolf could be from any of several sources, most likely Basic or Fantasy.

The Evil Dead (p. 40) is just a short box about upgrading undead to resist Turning, not an original monster.

There aren't really any wholly original monsters in the book.

Not in the box but they did Squirrel-pion in the Kickstarter updates. It says it is another update monster and I remember others but they don't seem to be mentioned in the update titles and I don't want to read all the updates this minute.

Ah, I thiught those might have had their stats tweaked for DF purposes. Thanks for all the info, guys!

Yes, there are changes to several (most? all?) from previous entries.

The Bear, Lion, and Tiger are probably the ones from DF: Allies rather than the basic set.

"Most" would be accurate. Some changes were just in the bookkeeping (e.g., types of Injury Tolerance are now listed as distinct traits); others were radical overhauls (e.g., the elementals are inspired by the ones in GURPS Dungeon Fantasy 9: Summoners but not easily derived from them, and are little like the elementals in GURPS Magic). The majority of changes fall somewhere in the middle.
