BareBones Fantasy Bestiary Contest
The authors (+BM G and +Zachary Houghton ) along with DwD Studios are running a contest for bestiary submissions.

For each creature you submit your name will be entered in a drawing. We'll run a hangout and pull names.

• 1st Prize - BBF Bestiary Hardcover
• 2nd Prize - BBF Bestiary Softcover
• 3rd Prize - BBF Bestiary PDF

Submission will be closed APRIL 30th.

Guidelines

1. Read this page.
2. Creating an account on this site
3. Click on "Add child page" at the bottom of this page. Having trouble adding a page? Click here.?
4. After submitting your creature, fill out this form. When both conditions are met your creation will be considered

Submission should be original ideas. Posting artwork is acceptable on this site, to give us a reference. However it will not make it in the end product for obvious reason.

If the creature is something already in the book, think of interesting ways it can be made different. For instance, a goblin shaman with some interesting spells or powers would be acceptable.

If you have an idea and either A) don't know how to stat out or B) just want to share feel free to post.

IP of Another Company

You can base your creature on the IP of another company, however you cannot keep the name, presentation of abilities nor the descriptive text. Here are some examples that are considered trademarked.

• Beholders
• Gauth
• Carrion crawler
• Displacer beast
• Githyanki
• Githzerai
• Ilithids
• Kuo-toa
• Mind flayer
• Slaad
• Umber hulk
• Yuan-ti

For example:
Eye Fiend
This wondrous creature is the bane of many an adventurer. A floating ball of flesh and bone with eyes on all sides and a mouth full of razor sharp teeth. A defense mechanism, the eye fiend can turn gaseous and slip through cracks when in danger.
