waitingforplayer2The Expanded Guide is edited by Chiaki Nanami.
The Expanded Guide begins with a condensed & re-edited version of Spengler's Guide, written several years prior. This contains broad knowledge of the 23 monster types at the time, and largely features the information covered in Ryslig's bestiary.
The new content in the Guide consists entirely of individual monster testomonials.
Submissions to the Guide can be made by anyone at any time, in a drop-off box at the Insert Coin arcade. The form below can be used as a template for any monsters looking for inspiration or structure for their entries. Nanami copies out the entries longhand, and stores the information in several locations, so that the information is never lost.
A copy of the current manuscript may be requested for casual perusal at any time.
As of now, the Expanded Guide has not yet been officially published on the peninsula.

GARGOYLE

Date: 2022-11-13 09:48 pm (UTC)Flying. Also being strong, but I guess that's every monster. The fire powers are pretty nice too.
What do you dislike about being this monster?
I'll get into more further down, but I miss having full hands. But I don't think that's a general gargoyle thing. The hunting instinct can get REALLY intense especially if I don't hunt often.
Also turning into stone in daylight is really obnoxious. A lot of monster are nocturnal though so it's not as bad as it could be. Actually I like sleeping as a statue more than not most days.
What is something unique to you about being this monster?
I've never seen another gargoyle who's arms are their wings. They all have back wings. I think I got conned here. I've never been close enough to other gargoyles to know if they also do the furnace-sounds thing I do? I also almost never make fire with my hands. I CAN do it, but it feels more natural to breathe fire
What types of creatures or beings influenced your monster form?
Mostly western wyvern/dragon I guess? I look a lot like a type of Noise from back home, even down to the color.
What is it like to feed as this monster?
It... took a while to get used to. My hunting drive is really strong though, so I don't really have to think of it much at the time. I just.... swoop down. I know some meat eaters kill with their claws or teeth, but I apparently hunt kind of like a falcon? Swoop down and hit them so hard I snap bones. If they survive then it's talons and teeth. But at least that way it's really fast.
...if I'm pissed off though I tend to carry them away and drop them. I don't like that.
What are some notable physical features you have as this monster, and what do you like or dislike about them?
The wyvern wings are the most notable. I'm also really brightly colored? My tail is really thick too, and I used to knock things over with them before I bought a new tail from Mana. it's still thick but I can curl it out of the way now.
What are some notable psychological changes you have as this monster, and what do you like or dislike about them?
I get pissy really easily. If someone talks shit I can't help but try and get them for it. Also the hording. God damn the hording is... something. At first it was just things I found important to me or reminded me of important people. But it started growing to anything I liked at all. Even my own shed rock bits if they looked cool. It's taken over an entire room of my house. I probably have a couple grand solars hidden in that thing.
Would you become this monster again?
I don't mind it
Would you become this monster for good?
I can't think of a monster I want to be MORE than it? So I'll probably stick with this.
