Yeti, the hairy wild men of the woods. Monster brain, a huge levitating brain with one eye and several tentacles. Charm Person and Magic Missile twice a day. ESP and Telepathy at will.

The Land
The PC's will start among the few small towns and villages, roughly equivalent to European or North American 18th or early 19th century, that are the last outposts of human civilisation in the face of a mysterious and dangerous wilderness populated by goblins, fairy and other strange beings from beyond this world. These uncharted lands are ruled by witches and dragons and are visited by creatures from out of space and time.
