Realistic or Modern Lovecraft Apocalypse - Lore

[Mitheral]

Bestiary - Nevermind the statistics or game references. I am using these for images and descriptions. Look at the relative XP values and that will give an idea of the hazard they represent. (Compare to Hastur in the Something Far Worse bestiary.)

Regarding magical weapons: Immunity to nonmagical weapons would make even the weakest Lovecraftian monsters nigh unbeatable. So ... I am going to reduce this to a resistance rather than immunity.

Something Far Worse Bestiary - Not really intended as something to use for a random encounter. Group killer stuff. Like, you know, Cthulhu mythos gods.

King in Yellow (Hastur)
Cthulhu
Ulamog the Ceaseless Hunger

Wastlings
Namesake taken from the larva of the Grey Waste of Hades. These are those people you see in larger cities that stand on the corners with signs that plead for help. Wastlings are the ones who have sunk into despair. In such a state they become easy targets for the larva. What those larva will become is unknown.

Wastlings is an interesting idea I had not seen before. There is probably some great change still to those who have become wastling that I would like a chance to see... not that I mean I would sell my soul for that.
