Ninjas are black-clad masked rogues often employed as thieves and assassins by criminal organizations. They can use a wide range weapons, many of which lack "honor" in the eyes of their enemies.

I have zero idea what kinda monsters I want to make this month. So... I'll leave it to all of you to make some suggestions. Gimme what you got down in the comments.
Usual rules for suggestions apply:
Smaller bone eaters (lesser and mundane) appear to be undead skeletons. The actual ooze component of these creatures is reddish, projecting the illusion of rotting musculature. Of course, their true ooze-nature is revealed when they grow to Large or larger sizes. Still, many Omerian borrowers and...

Perhaps the name mage is deceptive. After all, the Vaskil Warriorbrood are hardly mages. Certainly, magic flows through their veins, along their arm, into their trigger fingers, and through their fire arms. But this magic is not the magic of the cloistered wizards of Odonburg or the stalwart abju...

With seven massive tentacles and bulbous eyes, this large creature resembles an aquatic octopus. However, its coarse, green flesh and leaf-like growths covering its body betrays its ecology as a land-based creature.
