Foreword

Welcome to Winter Ravagers, the first in Rogue Genius Games’ new Monster
Menagerie line of monster products. The plan is for every Monster Menagerie to offer a set
of monsters that match a theme, with full write-ups, simple index card style summaries
for use at the game table, and printable standee figures for every monster. But while
future versions will feature typical fantasy adventure themes—fiends and cultists, dark
fey, creatures from the subterranean kingdoms—Winter Ravagers is focused on a less
common trope.

Because we’re “Geniuses,” and because the spirit of the holiday season moved
us, we decided to make this very first product a little different from the line that will
eventually follow. (Which, I admit, is not How Things Are Normally Done.) Everything
in this book grows out of and is linked to the winter holidays. The creatures are ideal
for adventures tied to Yuletide, Saturnalia, the Great Hunt, or any cold-weather gift-
giving celebration you use in your campaigns, but most can also be used in other
adventures set in arctic or merely wintry climes.

While it all started with the krampus, I think it was the Whip Father that sold us
on this idea. Both are based on real-world legends—though we’ve definitely given
the monstrous versions presented here our own spin—and both are really freaking
scary. With those as a basis, we decided there really were enough winter-holiday-
themed creatures to fill a book with entries that were both evocative of Yuletide myths
and good hooks for a fantasy adventure. Some of our choices are designed more as
nuisances than combat challenges (see the cobbler elf), and we did push the boundaries
of the absurd (cough-dire-flying-reindeer-cough), but we wrote each with an eye to what
would be fun and useful in festive adventures.

So please, crack open what may be our only Monster Menagerie with a holiday-motif,
drink some hot cider, and start plotting how to best surprise a group of adventures with
a rumor-spreading snake, witch-in-maid’s-clothing, or antlered airborne quadruped.

secretly crafts in the nighttime hours of the shop happily
for years.
However, such synergist situations go wrong more
often than they go right. Cobbler elves are secretive, and
refuse to be captured, spotted or negotiated with (though
they do make allowances for humanoid children, who
after all can’t be expected to know better). If a cobbler elf
can’t find a workshop that matches its skills, or enough
materials aren’t laid out each night, or it doesn’t find food
and drink each night, it becomes more chaotic. The cobbler
elf attaches itself to whatever group it can find (from typical
homes to inns to adventuring groups), and tries its best
to make itself useful. Damaged items are mended, dirty
things are cleaned, but the cobbler elf also uses its change
item ability each night, in order to be “extra helpful.”
If the cobbler elf does not find food and drink
laid out, it helps itself to whatever can be dug out
of packs or removed from cupboards. Always
cautious, cobbler elves eat nothing without first
checking it for poison. If no food is to be found,
the cobbler elf may use its change object ability
on whatever seems most valued by the host it is
following, to prompt them to notice its efforts
and feed it. A cobbler elf that feels threatened
does not give up, instead it sneaks in, using its
invisibility and dimension door abilities to ensure
that it is not caught, and again uses its change
object on the most prized possessions it can find. Once
a cobbler elf has attached itself to a given host it can only
be gotten rid of by losing it (difficult with its locate creature
ability, but not impossible), or stopping at a craft shop that
more clearly needs its assistance.
