Description

Death of Mice

This was inspired by, and dedicated to, the Mouse Death in Discworld, who came when Death was audited and fired. For the brave efforts of death, and his kindness in sparing the death of mice, here is a monster.

While this creature would not have much effect on those who are men, not mice, meeting it could be a hair-raising experience. Just imagine a small, mouse-like collection of bones in a black robe with a pair of incisors the length of your index finger scuttling out of a hole in the wall at eye level, accompanied by a little mousie ghost..

I have put here a little over thirty individual monsters, with some of them being lumped together in groups, such as chromatic/metallic dragons. Most of them I wrote on the spot at the terminal, so expect more.
