Publisher's blurb:
This is a flexible animal generator that is meant to aid or take the place of a Gamemaster (GM) for answering questions or finding the clues, information, or describing animals. A chart optimized for 1d12 but with results for 2D6, 1D20, 3D6, and 1d100 systems is included. It makes it a versatile description generating engine.
This system is meant to give keywords, that when put together help to generate animals either real, mythical, fictional, or made at that moment. The keywords are meant to help trigger thoughtful and inspirational ideas. It's not meant to cover supernatural or alien features or powers.
Included are 11 categories: movement, social behavior, food, group size, offense, defense, reproduction, life expectancy, abilities, size, and nest/den. Each of these have 12 (one has 24) results to total 144 results in the entire chart.
This system works well for adding random ideas into story writing, solo gaming, or to aid a GM in creating descriptions of earth-like animals, creatures, or even mutations. It may even be used in addition to an existing stat-block to re-skin it into something fresh and new.
