Yeah, I must have imagined reading "A four-hex creature." at ITL 93, last sentence of the second paragraph from the top in the left column. Sorry about that.

Ah, you were merging things from the Bestiary (this thread) and things from the core book. The new Bestiary lists the same stats for a 2 hex creature, and makes no mention of a 4 hex creature. So, snarky comments aside, I think your list of 1, 2 AND 4 hex wolverines is misleading. The new 2 hexer is the same as the old 4 hexer.

Here's my current take:

Common Wolverine, small one-hex, 60 pounds
ST 6, bites for 1d, fur stops one hit, -2 to be hit due to evasiveness.

Giant Wolverine Cub, two-hex, 500 pounds
ST 18, bites for 2d-2, fur stops two hits

Adult Giant Wolverine, four-hex, 3000 pounds
ST 50, bites for 2d+1, fur stops two hits

Based on the intro, I believe the Bestiary supersedes ITL stats. "This is the “big book of monsters” for The Fantasy Trip It covers the creatures of In The Labyrinth in more detail..."

That's the description of the FINAL version . . . some (most?) of the deviations from ITL should be reported to SJG.

It is worth noting to SJG that the giant wolverine was described as a 4 hex creature in the core book, so unless there is a compelling reason to change things it should probably stay that way. But they may be deep enough into counter design that they would rather take the inconsistency and keep their existing artwork and layouts.

Sending in a check of critter sizes today. What others bother you'll?


All the big cats seem to be lacking HTH damage?

If they usually weigh 500 lbs (Bestiary 183) then they wouldn't be adults for very long.
