Here are the other two monsters from the Wandering Monster basic set. In an earlier post, you got to see Ogre and Ooze.
First up today is Troll. No, his standard power is not Instant Regeneration or Carrot Nose. He is skinny and nimble, giving him a slight edge against ranged attacks by adventurers, who always seem to be hurling axes, javelins, and lightning balls at anything that moves. It's a little thing, but it helps. The standard power each monster has is designed to be a little less than the full powers you pick up in special rooms of the dungeon. Troll does nicely when you add movement-based powers, such as Hasty or Sprinter. You can never go wrong with Fearsome Claws though.
Lepus rounds out the first four of our monsters. "Lepus" is a pseudoscientific way to say rabbit, so most players end up calling him the bunny, although usually not to his face. The best thing about this monster is tricking him out with some powers, and identifying yourself as, for instance, the enormous bunny with a Huge Mouth and Terrifying Roar. On top of all that, his long, sensitive ears give him the useful ability to assess the threat level of adventurers through doors and around corners. Players have nearly come to blows for the opportunity to play the Lepus.
