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.

What do you dislike about being this monster?
The change to one's aquatic form is outside of the merperson's control. One can attempt to take protective measures by avoiding rain, for example, but there will always be instances where one is caught off guard by water. When leaving home, be prepared and bring a towel.
What types of creatures or beings influenced your monster form?
Cephalopods. (octopi, squids, etc.)
What is it like to feed as this monster?
Intense and aggressive, but mostly intuitive.
What are some notable physical features you have as this monster, and what do you like or dislike about them?
Fins on my arms, legs and near my ears, along with a light layer of scales. Gills in the sides of my neck. A sharper set of teeth. Webbing between my fingers and toes. When subjected to water, my legs become tentacles similar to those of octopi. Both the tentacles and the webbing are capable of changing color, which appears dependent on my emotional state.
What are some notable psychological changes you have as this monster, and what do you like or dislike about them?
I tend to take small items with a shine to them. This doesn't always happen on a conscious level, so I need to stay on guard and check my pockets every so often, lest I take something which doesn't belong to me.
Would you become this monster again?
Yes.
Would you become this monster for good?
Yes.
