What material in GURPS goes into greater detail for making stat blocks for critters (and quickly)? Also, any advise? I've got a campaign idea brewing that won't have me utilizing any already worked examples of critters in any bestiary/creature supplement, and I'll have to write up over a hundred of these stat blocks(!). I looked at DF's Dungeons (purely for the boiled-down goodness that that product line provides, this won't actually be a DF campaign), and it has the quick and dirty guidelines for making critters. This is a good start.

What's the best insightful advise for making "pointless" monsters? What about guidelines for building critter abilities with out points, along the lines of "its does what it does" without going too much under the hood with GURPS's building blocks? Anything that'll help expedite the process is good.
