Bite-Sized Monster Encyclopedia

Welcome to the Bite-Size Monster Encyclopedia!





This is a little list of monsters that exist within the world you see before you! When creating a character, you can use one of the monsters from this list OR you can create a monster species of your own! and when that monster gets approved, it'll be added into the encyclopedia for others to create as well! It doesn't get any simpler than that!




Let's do this!
