Runequest Glorantha BestiaryRunequest Glorantha Bestiary by Sandy Petersen

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


An excellent resource for Runequest foes and allies. A lot of detail is given to the Eldar races, the Gloranthan equivalent of elves, dwarfs, and the like. A lot of work is done to make these races alien, rather than humans with odd traits.

Also, there's a good section on everyday animals you might find, which can be useful, especially for lower powered adventurers. Dinosaurs get a nice nod, with information based on our more recent understanding of how they looked and acted, as well as a nice tie-in to the fantastical world of Glorantha.

In short, every species given has a story, and the intelligent races present are given cultures and motivations. You really don't need more than this book to have endless encounters with foes all across Dragon Pass
