A couple of weeks ago I posted unofficial Pathfinder RPG statistics for the Gruffalo. This resulted in a request for statistics for the wild rumpus. So, over the past few weeks, I have gone about creating statistics for the wild things. Since there is a little less info to go on with these critters, I ended up trying to model them a little after their big screen counterparts (whose names will appear in paranthesis next to the names given to them by Sendak for the 1983 opera), as well as adding a little of my own flair. However, what I feel most uncomfortable about is the alignments I have given them. If you have some suggestions as to what you feel their alignments should be, please feel free to chime in.
This first post will give you the statistics for Moishe and Tzippy; next week's will have the statistics for Aaron and Goat Boy; and the final post will have the statistics for Bernard, Emil, and Ira. Goat Boy and Ira did not receive names (that I know of) in the opera. I took Goat Boy's name from the Where the Wild Things Are action figures created by Seth McFarlane in conjunction with Maurice Sendak, and Ira is the name given to that wild thing's analog in the motion picture.
“And the
wild things roared their terrible roars and gnashed their terrible teeth and rolled
their terrible eyes and showed their terrible claws.”
Moishe
(Carol)
This horrific creature is comprised of the horns
of a bull, the mane of a lion, the tail of a wolf, and the legs of a dragon.
