Monster Hunt Shadowdark PDF

The Hunt Begins!

The hunter and the hunted change places in Battlezoo Bestiary: Monster Hunt, a Shadowdark RPG supplement built for players and GMs who want their monsters to matter beyond a single encounter. Every creature in this book is a trophy waiting to happen—and every trophy can become power in your hands.

Whether you're climbing onto a foe twice your size, roasting monster meat into a battle-ready meal, or wearing the powers of your last kill as a magic token, Monster Hunt gives your table an entirely new relationship with the things that go bump in the dark.

What's Inside:

• 135 brand-new monsters, each built with unique talents and detailed lore to challenge your players and enrich your Shadowdark campaign
• 5 new classes built around the hunt itself: the Beast Collector (gains talents from trophies), the Monster Chef (cooks monster parts into powerful meals), the Monster Hunter (climbs, redirects attacks, and takes down bigger foes), the Monster Jester (mocks and punishes fallen enemies), and the Monster Mage (channels the magic monsters leave behind)
• Monster Tokens, a brand-new loot system that lets you harvest pieces of the monsters you defeat and turn their own abilities against their kin
• 240 monster parts across 10 crafting categories (Chaos, Charisma, Constitution, Dexterity, Intelligence, Neutrality, Order, Primal, Strength, and Wisdom), letting you turn any kill into custom weapons and potions
• New weapons and armor built for monster hunters, including gear crafted from the creatures you take down
• And more!

Fully Shadowdark Compatible

Drop these monsters, classes, and loot straight into any Shadowdark campaign—no conversion required. Whether you're running a single hunting expedition between dungeons or building an entire campaign around tracking a legendary beast, Monster Hunt is ready for your table.

Will the hunter become the hunted?
