Monsterology: The Complete Book of Fabulous Beasts: The Complete Book of Monstrous Creatures

Product Information

Magic Wand: There is a section of Wizardology that details these among other wizard tools, claiming that the type of magic a wand is good for depends on what sort of wood you use. Our Gnomes Are Weirder: Gnomes are depicted in Monsterology as short, but only around as short as extremely short humans, and physically human-like in other respects. They're nocturnal by nature, and keep bats and moths as pets. Roc Birds: Monsterology includes the roc in the chapter dedicated to flying beasts. It's a raptorial bird large enough to carry off an elephant in one talon, is native to the Arabian peninsula, and is noted to have once been confused with the wyvern, the largest dragon in the books. In October 2007, Codemasters announced a licensing agreement to create video games for the Wii and Nintendo DS based on Dragonology, Wizardology and Pirateology. [3] Nik Nak was to develop the Wii titles. [4] Film adaptations [ edit ] Eastern dragons are split between the five-toed Chinese long and the four-toed Korean yong, Japanese ryu and an Indonesian subspecies. Tibetan dragons are a separate, but physically similar, species adapted for mountain life.

Our Gryphons Are Different: Monsterology includes griffins and hippogriffs in its chapter about flying creatures. The former are carnivores with a taste for horses, and are especially fond of the winged kind. The latter are grain-eaters instead. Pop-Cultural Osmosis Failure: John Oro, the one writing in the margins of Mythology, was familiar enough with the legend of Midas to know what power he was gifted with, but not the disastrous results that power gave him.

Leave Behind a Pistol: The castaway that Captain Lubber finds in the Pirateology subplot about pursuing Arabella Drummond was left a pistol with a single shot after he was marooned.

The only downside is that it has very few examples from the Americas or Africa, relying instead on European and Asian creatures. A second major volume by the esteemed Dr. Drake — a lavish exploration of fantastical beasts, from yetis to unicorns Out of curiosity, would you be able to add (Requires Wooden Key) and such to the monsters that require them? For example Simon the Sayer and the Stone Key. Just as a way to warn others before they arrive at the door and realize they don’t have a key on them lol.

During this quest, you are tasked with traveling to Unicorn Way and collecting a Lost Soul Essence. Once you enter a battle with a Lost Soul, add an animus collection spell to your primary hit card. If animus collection is successful, you will see a small symbol above the mob that resembles the monstrology icon. A second major volume by the esteemed Dr. Drake -- a lavish exploration of fantastical beasts, from yetis to unicorns. All mythical creatures are real! Western dragons are split between three subspecies — the common European kind (which in artwork is shown as either the usual quadrupeds or as theropod-like bipeds), which live in mountain caves and hoard gold and gems; the smaller gargouilles, adapted for life as arboreal ambush predators but equally at home perching on high buildings; and the arctic dragons, always shown as quadrupeds, who migrate yearly between the North and South poles and breathe ice. Do krakens really lurk below the ocean waves? Do griffins command the air above? In a fascinating new discovery sure to rival the ground-breaking DRAGONOLOGY, the intrepid Dr. Ernest Drake turns his inquisitive gaze from dragons to other so-called mythical creatures. Included are:
