Threats from Another World - Volume Five: Elder Dragons

Threats from Another World - Volume Five: Elder Dragons  by Kaid Brenen Sacander

Can You Slay a Force of Nature?

This unofficial 118-page fan supplement adapts 27 Elder Dragons to the MONSTER GUTS ruleset, along with new rewards, status conditions, and rules for incorporating these destructive creatures into a Medara Village campaign!

This fifth volume highlights iconic and deadly monsters beyond the strength of normal creatures that should be only be hunted by experienced veteran scavengers with heavily upgraded gear. Included in their ranks are new rules for especially challenging Arena Elder Dragons and Forbidden Dragons: extremely dangerous foes whom you battle in their lairs or other locations that don't allow for Bouts or Lulls, only a contest of endurance and tenacity. These enemies are a perfect threat for the end of a long-running MONSTER GUTS campaign.

Elder Dragons included in this volume:  Alatreon, Amatsu,  Chameleos, Dalamadur, Fatalis, Gaismagorm, Gogmazios,  Wind Serpent Ibushi, Kirin, Kulve Taroth, Kushala Daora, Lunastra, Malzeno, Nakarkos, Namielle, Thunder Serpent Narwa, Narwa the Allmother, Nergigante, Safi'Jiiva, Shagaru Magala, Shara Ishvalda, Teostra, Vaal Hazak, Valstrax, Velkhana, Xeno'Jiiva, and Yama Tsukami.

This adaptation, and future volumes of the Threats from Another World series, only includes monsters that have appeared in the main series of Monster Hunter video games, and will not feature any monsters that have only appeared in Monster Hunter Online, Monster Hunter Frontier, Monster Hunter Stories, or other non-main-series games in the franchise.
