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.

Date: 2022-11-12 07:50 pm (UTC)I feel very agile and quick on my feet still. I'm able to stay pretty well-balanced. I don't feel like I'm too constricted by being a pooka. I can still get around very easily in my normal or travel form. I also feel pretty good in general. I don't feel like I lost anything inherently in the transformation.
What do you dislike about being this monster?
Being so short sucks. I guess also, well, being a rat?
I don't look like myself anymore, which can be kinda jarring sometimes. I expect to see my old self and startle when I see my current self even now. I don't think every pooka ends up this changed though, so I can't really speak on that front.
What is something unique to you about being this monster?
My fur pattern is kind of weird. Red, black, brown, and spider web patterns on my arms. Anyone can kinda pick me out in a crowd without really trying. I'm also just really spotted on my ears and hands.
What types of creatures or beings influenced your monster form?
A rat. I think I take after a domesticated rat. I don't know how to tell the difference though to be honest. Most rats I saw were wild new york rats. I tried to not interact with them that much.
What is it like to feed as this monster?
It's odd but nice. I rarely have to hunt by myself. Usually, I can go with my family or friends to share a kill. A lot of the time I rely on the soup kitchen since bone marrow isn't eaten as often by other monsters. So I get a lot of options in that front. You can also cook really easily with blood or bone marrow.
What are some notable physical features you have as this monster, and what do you like or dislike about them?
I'm kind of literally a rat. I'm also really short. I dropped from 5'9 to 4'10. It makes clothing a genuine challenge sometimes unless I shop in the kids section or heavily modify my clothing. I can sew, so I usually can tweak my own clothes fine.
What are some notable psychological changes you have as this monster, and what do you like or dislike about them?
The weird mischief streak I guess? I tend to feel inclined to cause some kind of trouble even if I don't normally want to. Even if it hurts people. I am not a malicious person, but, the pooka instincts kind of push me toward that on occasion.
Also, I guess the need to horde food. That can be kinda weird.
Would you become this monster again?
I think I would, if I somehow changed. I like being a pooka.
Would you become this monster for good?
I think I am this monster for good, so yes.
