Bestiary 4e?
I'm new to GURPS & new to this forum. I got ahold of the 3e Basic set, 3e Bestiary, 3e Fantasy, & 3e Magic recently & I like what I'm seeing. I am already wanting to upgrade to 4e & I see that most of these books have been updated to 4e except the Bestiary. Is it mixed with another book now?

Re: Bestiary 4e?
Bestiary material has mostly been folded into the appropriate genre books.
Also of great note is gurps animalia, which is non-official but very good.

Search these fora and you'll find all kinds of good stuff, including a PDF they put together , Mailankas Thread on Monster Design and some spider stuff I did a while back.

Re: Bestiary 4e?
Just for starters, there's classic monsters in Dungeon Fantasy 2, Dungeon Fantasy Monsters 1 and 2, and GURPS Dragons. GURPS Horror and GURPS Fantasy have good bestiary sections. Monster Hunters 3: The Enemy is more higher powered, but also dang good. And of course the entire Creatures Of The Night series, which is a dedicated bestiary series just like Dungeon Fantasy Monsters is.
That's just a light dusting.

Re: Bestiary 4e?
There are also more-or-less realistic and/or domestic creatures in Basic and Low Tech Companion 3.

Re: Bestiary 4e?
Didnt we have a 'round up' thread, where we cited all the Creatures in all the books like we did with templates and lenses?

Re: Bestiary 4e?
Let me second Bruno's casual mention of Horror. It's fantastic for creatures, not just stats, but when and how to use each one.

Re: Bestiary 4e?
The animals in Basic are very half-assed missing numerous (dis)advantages. They're only useful for statting combat effectiveness.
