Those eyes grew and became gigantic, and in them the cimmerian glimpsed the reality of all the abysmal and blasphemous horrors that lurk in the outer darkness of formless voids and nighted gulfs.

Conan: Horrors of the Hyborian Age is the ultimate guide to the mythical fauna which inhabits the world of Conan the Barbarian. Designed for use with Howard’s Conan: Adventures in an Age Undreamed Of, this tome is brimming with beastly wonders!

Conan: Horrors of the Hyborian Age is drawn from the monstrous creatures who lurked in the pages of Robert E. Howard's Conan stories. Discover untold beasts and monsters in the ruined cities and dense jungles of Conan's world.

However, these sinister creatures are not limited to Conan's realm, and also includes alien horrors and strange beasts from H.P. Lovecraft ’s Cthulhu Mythos which is so closely bound to Howard's Hyborian Age. Other entries are original concepts from Modiphius Entertainment, created to compliment the tone and dangers of Conan's world.

With a mix of natural creatures, elementals, mystic menaces, the Old Ones, classic monsters, the children of Yig, the Tcho-Tcho, the off-spring of Set, and a wealth of other weird and wonderful beasts, you will regret turning down that Ancient Hyborian Zoology degree at university.

The book also provides new creature qualities and abilities, rules for creating mutations and chimerical horrors, and new Beast and Beast Master archetypes and backgrounds. There are also expanded rules for the Animal Handling skill, and guidance on how to handle creatures and monsters in your Conan game.
