MeG Crawls with Chaos Spawn And Gets First Batch of African Monsters

Chaos Spawn

The following Chaos Spawn are creatures summoned by Pocharngo, the Chaos God of Mutation

Creepy Crawling Hand it is a severed limb that skitters with unnatural intent, twitching toward warmth – and often leaping to throat from an awkward angle.

Fog bug is a chitinous insect that exhales dense, blinding mist as it clicks through the dark.

Slime Rat is bloated and hairless, it leaves trails of acidic mucus and gnaws metal as easily as bone.

Lead Eater is hunched and blind, a variety of Parenling. It chews through armor and poisons the soil with its breath.

Purple Frog is a wide-mouthed toad with violet warts, it stares without blinking and croaks in alien tongues.

The most common is of course the Manling a twisted echo of humanity, grinning with too many teeth and dreams not its own.

Encounters from African Folklore

Ajogun Ayeru (Spirit Lord of Confusion) is a malevolent spirit of violence and bloodshed, embodying relentless aggression and destructive rage.

Ajogun Ese (Guilt Spirit) is a vengeful spirit of missteps and errors, causing mistakes, accidents, and failures in even the simplest tasks

Ammut – Demon Devourer of the Unworthy is a monstrous devourer of the unworthy dead, part crocodile, lion, and hippopotamus, who waits to consume the hearts of those judged impure.

For more African creatures inspiration check out the African Monsters – it looks very interesting despite being for another RPG system. Its takes on the creatures and entities is different even if the folktale sources remain the same.

Mythras Encounter Generator: Glossary and Index Tools for Faster, Informed GMing

The Mythras Encounter Tool – feature recap for busy GMs (MeG) can be used for preparing encounters in Mythras, Glorantha, or general fantasy settings. But when you’re staring down 4,500+ entries—from broo raiders to allosaur stampedes—you may need more than just random searches.

That’s where the Glossary and Index Reports come in.

These tools will be periodically updated every couple of months, reflecting new entries, tags, and notes added to the generator. Whether you’re building sessions in a deep Gloranthan sandbox or just trying to figure out what the “Ojahl Acolyte” or “Afadjann Masarin” your players just provoked actually is, these resources can help you find the right encounter for your adventure.

🔍 Glossary for the Mythras Encounter Generator – Quick Reference for Busy GMs

The MeG Glossary helps decode the setting-specific, cult-specific, and rule-specific terms that show up in templates—especially from Glorantha, Monster Island, and Mythic Earth.

Whether you’re new to the world of Agimori, Altinae, and the 7 Mothers, or just need a reminder of what AA or AiG means the glossary provides a one-line explanation for fast reference and may provide link to additional info under “More info” link.
