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 wings of animals. A chart optimized for 1d12 but with results for 2D6, 1D20, and 3D6 systems is included.
This a lists of 144 animal names that have wings or glide (insects, butterflies, dragonflies, birds, water birds, flyinfish, flying squid)and flightless birds. It does not show any pictures nor drawings.
This system is meant to give a name of an animal used as a keyword, that when put together with the situation helps to generate wing types either real, mythical, fictional, or made at that moment. The keywords are meant to help trigger thoughtful and inspirational ideas.
Included are 6 loosely categories: insect, dragonfly, butterfly, bird, water, and can't fly. Some exceptions are added into these categories such as squid & bat. Categories have differing amounts but all together 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 wing-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.
