Mayternity 2026 day 31: Warrior Drake

What is this? Momster manual is my attempt to draw various mayternity inspired monsters every day during month of may, with small side part for bits of lore and maybe even rules on occasion. Monsters will be either individual charcters or representatives of a type of creature.

Image sets will consists of few monsters with same theme.

This is last image of the Maiesta RPG set, for it feels most fitting to end the month with, after all, what month of mayternity and rpgs, if you don't touch the RPG for the theme….

Mayternity 2026 day 30: The Warrior Drake

"There was no time to put on the armor, however, there was time to grab a sword, with teeth, horns and claw, the heavy set monster is ready to defend herself against the hidden attackers…and attackers might get ore then they expected"

Lore and Mechanics

To finish off the month, drawing something nice and simple, a nice big dragon lady, ready to fight those who disturbed her rest…

For the last picture, leave it as a maiesta pc concept instead, rage barer of her own design, ready to brawl as I do want to take few days to rest after mayternity, for it was a bit of a long month this year XD

"The rich merchants started avoiding the seas around here a while back, they said pirates, though no pirate ships would ever appear, until one day, one would wash up on the shore, he talked of sea monsters, cannons and a great fat mermaid that would lure them to their doom, tales of sirens you know, but probably just mad ramblings of a madman..."

Mayternity 2026 day 26: Disposer Lark

"A large maiesta doctor looms over you, as you slowly awaken, she cheerfully chippers about success of the procedure, you are however, not quite sure if it will be free of consiquences looking more at the good doctor"

Lore and mechanics

We begin with one of the PCs from a campaign I ran, drawn with permission of the owner. She returns as something a bit different, either someone you go to, or a foe to your party, shadowy villain behind it all.

Disposers used to be horrible mad scientist and artist types on an island full of slavers, however island itself no longer exists, and disposers got scattered to the wind, few know of how they look now, or what they do...but few want to meet them...

She brings in a simple mechanic, ability to have one's body modified, gaining an additional quirk as per race maker rules, however, there is a danger, as you don't know what side effects might be in there. GM gets to pick if there is a consiquence in secret and if there is, make it poetic and thematic to the charcacter getting it, perhaps they wish for exotic charm, now having scent that attracts partners easily, however, it leads to them slowly taking on more alien looks, or perhaps they wanting for innesse height leads to them also gaining immense...appetites.

Powerful tail - Heavy and powerful tail is present among all lizards, useful as heavy weapon or useful balance tool. They get +10 bonus to balance and may use tail as d4 damage weapon.

"These creature are small, odd, almost blind in the sunlight, however, when it comes to it, they can eat anything, hide anywhere and make great many sharp and pointy things to stick into you if you get into their caves, so best keep on their good side..."

Lore and mechanics

Cave dwellers return for this little write up, as one was protagonist of my return to silly little story writting earlier this year. Small creatures that reside in caves they lack certain physical bulk or strength of many other species, however they make up for it by being flexible, small, and quite hardy creatures in return.

They have a nack for digging, working various rocks and knowing where to find good uses for said rocks.

If you are to wander the rocky lands and islands on the outskirts of Serpentia seas, one tagging along is good idea...after all they don't eat much or take up much space...

Mayternity 2026 day 22: Deer of Forzen South

"The Dead don't stay dead in the frozen wastes, and those who reside at their edge are the defenders of it. Deer like folk of extraordinary size and build, believe that only ones that carry life may permanently slay the beasts, burning them for good. Indeed, oddly the fungi that causes dead to rise is rarely found on the expecting warriors, but the ones that commune with spirits do at times consider wandering deeper into the heart of the forzen wastes to find the source, though none found it yet…"

Lore and Mechanics

Deer folk represent large locals of the frozen areas south of the most areas seen in Serpentia, cold and harsh when you leave the safety of the forests, many animals and creature not seen elsewhere lie frozen in death, and at times..rise from their death and wander, attacking all that move there.

Few dare to wander this area, but the deer folk tribes consider it their land and their mission to make sure that the dead do not wander any further, even if they at times do pass though and become a problem elsewhere…

Thus perhaps your adventurer is one such warrior or hunter, tracking a quary of some large beast, to take them out and make sure they do not rise again…

Presented bellow are statistics to generate such character in Hack100 style system, be it modified somewhat to suit world of Serpentia…(Something I might release as it's own stand own set of rules later in the month)

Ranged - 2d10+15

Traits: Antlers - Deer folk cary small set of horns, which they use to gore enemies if all else fails. They can be used to do melee headbutts, doing d4 damage. They also make wearing helmets harder.

Dead-Killers - Deer folk ignore tests related to fear caused by the dead that rise. They often learn how to permanently slay such beasts as well.

Cold-Born - Deer folk are born and raised in cold climate, they know how to clothe for it and generally resist cold effect even without external gear.

Lastly, the undead of the far north have some odd traits to them, when making such beast, remove any form of self preservation and intellect, but increase their toughness by 10 and they no longer need to eat or sleep, and will not die unless they are completely destroyed.

Mayternity 2026 day 21: The Forest Boars

This is first image of 5th set, as we return to my previous years mayternity period, where we explore playable options of Serpentia and other lands...

Mayternity 2026 day 21: The Forest Boars

"The boar folk of the woods are tough bunch, stout in build, and stubborn in attitude, hunting and gathering and even farming the bounty of the forests, all the while keeping one art known by few, working of metals. While flint and it's digging is their tool, they can work the cursed substance like no other...and shape from it great many things..."

Mechanics and lore

We begin with boar folk of the land that we visited before, omnivorous, hardy folk who deal in digging of flint, working of metals and living in the forested areas of the southern continent. While art of working the land to grow plants isn't one they practice, they are close to it in how they treat many of the forests they reside in, keeping those who would overhunt or overeat from the forests they reside near. This track of working metals, digging flint and being quite fond of trading leads to them being fairly well known by many of the wandering folk of the world, and ones that likely will set up more premanent settlments in the spots where they partake in mining and trading, though these settlments rarely have only their kind present...

In adventures, one likely would see them as craftsfolk out travelling to practice their trade to avoid competition in their home area, or as warriors, as urge to fight is known to sometimes rise up among the boar folk leading to them seeking out spots to fight and earn something for it.

Presented bellow are statistics to generate such character in Hack100 style system, be it modified somewhat to suit world of Serpentia...(Something I might release as it's own stand own set of rules later in the month)

Strength - 2d10+25

Agility - 2d10+15

Stealth - 2d10+20

Toughness - 2d10+25

Perception - 2d10+25

Reasoning - 2d10+20

Influence - 2d10+15

Willpower - 2d10+20

Melee - 2d10+30

Ranged - 2d10+10

Traits: Tusks - Boar folk are dangers even when unarmed, using their tusks to gore foes if it comes to it, doing d4 damage when striking someone in such a way.

Tough hide - Due to their shaggy hair and generally heaftier build, they have naturally tougher hide, increasing their armour by 2 in all areas.

Mayternity 2026 day 20: Psyionica-Womb Implant

What is this? Momster manual is my attempt to draw various mayternity inspired monsters every day during month of may, with small side part for bits of lore and maybe even rules on occasion. Monsters will be either individual charcters or representatives of a type of creature.

Image sets will consists of few monsters with same theme.

This is fifth and last image of 4th set, focusing on warhammer 40k rpgs

Mayternity 2026 day 20:Psyionica-Womb Implant

"A great cybernetic form lumbers towards you, holding an odd copper headed axe at her side, she sends out a prayer in binary and than places her hand on her stomach, exposed for some reason as lighting emerges from the stave and feeling of wrongness fills the room, as you turn you see the lighting hit a cultist and render them apart as you hear ghosts of the other side of the veil..."

Lore and Mechanics

Psyionica-Womb Implant is often forbidden and unusual implant developed by heretek Merso-7Il some time in M34. Design was a heavily modified version of a womb implant used by some ordo biologios branches of Adeptus Mechanicus, rendered instead into an odd source of power. Indeed, the markings on it and at times arcane nature of it is why it's considered forbidden and odd item, for it allows carry of cloned psychicly potential fetus to manifest psychic for it's user.

Implant is rarely used for admech generally don't consider psykers reliable, however, forces of inquisition and some more rogue branches have made reproductions of the original design, to various degrees of effectivness...

Rules for the implant can be found bellow:

Psyionica-Womb Implant Rarity: Near-unique

When implanted user often is visually unchanged while implant is not in use, however if one aquires a psionically active fetus (via transplanting form another host, cloning or perhaps other ways), Medicea +20 test can be done to implant such fetus. User then gains one random power determined by game master of value XP value 200 or less, allowing to ignore previous requirments. User psi rating is equal to the number of such fetuses carried. User may carry up to their toughness modifier in such manner, however they will gain disadvantages due to their bloated body and reduce their agility by 5xfetus number

Lastly, if power manifestation is failed, resolve perils with +5 added to the roll per fetus.

If user is naturally a psyker, they instead gain psi bonus of number of fetus divided by 2. Fetus is kept in mostly suspended state of development and thus won't continue to grow unless such state is induced.

Poor quality: Some implants are taken from heretical origins or tainted with corrupted materials.

Such implants still grant all the benefits of the usual implant, however, whenever power manifestation fails, Toughness +0 test must be done, or user takes 1 point of corruption.

Secondly, the fetus development is not suspended, thus they continue to develop normally, often leading to full term in few months of use and either requiring induced birth or operation.

Side note - Implant has been experimented with by carrying a blank fetus instead, leading to user being capable of using Deny the Witch Talent, however this can't be combined with natural psyker abilities or usual use of the implant.

One thing of note, psionically active fetus is mentioned as required item for usage of this, they can be aquired via conventional reproduction with a psyker, though often chances of that are...rare, however, there are some more odd methods inquisition and other forces uses.

Sometimes such fetuses are removed and then kept in stasis for various reasons by inquisition or other organisations, and thus one could try to steal or aquire them from black markets or their superiors as a rare item.

Another method is using xenos or chaos origin fetus or organisms, such searches being either harder or easier depending on the area, and carry their own dangers of corruption or "empathy for the xenos"

Mayternity 2026 day 19: Isha's-Branch

What is this? Momster manual is my attempt to draw various mayternity inspired monsters every day during month of may, with small side part for bits of lore and maybe even rules on occasion. Monsters will be either individual charcters or representatives of a type of creature.

Image sets will consists of few monsters with same theme.

This is forth image of 4th set, focusing on warhammer 40k rpgs

Mayternity 2026 day 19: Isha's-Branch

"The crying goddess lies inprisoned in the garden of nurgle, her tears dropping and sprouting spines, as they get covered by disease ridden corposes and fertilizer of nurgle's gardeners...however, few dancers of the laughting god do slip in from time to time, and brake off what grows from those pale roots, as the power of the life goddess lies in them. Odd branch fashioned into crude knife and sung to by a right singer and you got a weapon that can't quite take life...however, to a nurglite, it does quite a devastating wound...leaving them rooted and immobile as their own bodies shift from filled to disease to wholy different transformation..."

Lore and Mechanics

Unassuming looking chunk of uneven bone with soulstone like intrusion, this weapon is of odd nature and use, for all purposes it's just a crude, blunt knife, barely able to wound or hurt most people, thus for those purposes it uses stats of a knife.

However, if a nurgle worshiper or daemon is wounded with this, they must pass impossible (-60) toughness test or feel the knife root and get absorbed into their flesh...

Creature would begin to swell with life, at first assuming it to be blessing of nurgle, however as their flesh shifted and their body would become heavy and near immobile they would see growths of root and branch like growths ans shift in their form, diseases from the flesh would slowly get burned out and over course of hours this process would continue and render them completely free of their original diseases...much to their horror....

Unless surgically removed within d5 hours of the wounding, this transformation is premanent, rendering many such champions unable to reestablish connection with the grandfather of plagues....

What is this? Momster manual is my attempt to draw various mayternity inspired monsters every day during month of may, with small side part for bits of lore and maybe even rules on occasion. Monsters will be either individual charcters or representatives of a type of creature.

Image sets will consists of few monsters with same theme.

Mayternity 2026 day 18: Genestealer-Broodmother

"You bash the ancient door servitor as it slowly buzzes to mockery of life, and the door rumbles open, inside container taken by the forces of inquisition from a captured t'au vessel, experiment to infiltrate and destroy the t'au empire it seems, though it seems to be leaking, as you see floating form of horrifying great alien with features of human and alien species you barely understand...something is wrong, as the tank containing the creature is cracked and you hear the glass strain..."

Lore and Mechanics

This represents a horrible case of polution mutating genestealers who are hybrids not of one but two species, in this case vespids and humans, captured to be examined by earth caste scientists originally to prevent any form of danger, but now poorly taken in by inquisition to try to weaponize it...

However, of course things would go wrong, tank would crack and creature escape, and likely lay eggs inside some hidden spot on the ship, leading to attacks from insectoid genestealer hybrids across the vessel...

In other words, would you like to have return to inspiration and throw in a xenomorpth queen into your warhammer session?

Sadly, due to nature of text, no rules this time, as it's hard to write down monster profiles in text only.

Mayternity day 17: Half-Daemon

"There is a locked gate in the cult's hideout, behind it unnatural light flickers one and off, do not open the gate, for they keep their warped horrors in there"

Note found by a body of a ganger to an inquisitor, next to an armored door that been burned and forced open....

Lore, Mechanics and Inspiration:

Inspired by niche bit of lore in realm of age of sigmar, telling of half-daemon people, I descided to combine it with yesterdays idea of an accursed chaos axe, to bring you half-daemon creatures, as a trait.

Lore:

Emerging either from unholy union of mortal flesh though carnal desires, sacrifice or perhaps some ancient unholy artifacts, these creatures tend to grow fast, grow strong, chaotic and dangerous. They are rare most of the time, however when found some cults use them as shock attack brutes, others try to train them to be powerful sorcorors and others yet try to use them to breed further bloodlines with daemonic blood in hopes it will grant power to their noble house.

All half-daemons are different, and both gods in effect and random chaos entities being present often determine their nature, however, many will share the following trait

Half-Daemon (X)

reatures with this trait increase their Toughness bonus against all damage by the number indicated in the parentheses (X), in the same manner as an Unnatural Characteristic and stack if the latter also increases Toughness. This increase is negated by damage inflicted from force weapons, psychic powers, holy attacks, or other creatures with this trait.

These creatures often have traits of daemonic, bestial or mechanical nature, based on their birth, modifications in life or ties to a good of their blessing.

When creating one you may give it one of the extra following traits:

Daemon of chaos gods perantage

Khorne: Creature is capable of entering state of frenzy as per frenzy talent when a fight is going on nearby. Or they gain Machine (d3) trait, and one inbuilt ranged weapon of rarity rare or more common.

Slannesh: Aluring androgenous nature of the creature leads to fixation from those of weak will. Creature must make a Challanging (+0) willpower test or be unable to attack the creature. Success on this check makes them immune for one hour.

Or

Creature shows unnatural grace and agility, gaining Unnatural Agility (D3)

Tzeench: Creature is mutated to an extreme, gaining D3 mutations or

Creature is itself seeping with corrupting nature of god of mutations, inflicing 1 point of corruption with it's natural weapon attacks if challanging (+0) Toughness is failed.

Nurgle: Creature is bloated and filled with unnatural reslience - Gaining Unnaturally Toughness (d3) trait or They carry diseases, having Toxic (d3) trait.

Minor chaos entity:

Creature is akin to furies or other minor chaos monsters, gaining flight due to growth of unnatural wings or d3 mutations from mutation table.

Mayternity day 16: Neverborn Bringer

"The cultist roars in a feral charge…before stopping few steps short as she clutches her stomach, before your eyes her form bloats as glowing mark appears there and her eyes are filled with confusion followed immediatly by frenzy, run and hide before it's too late!"

Lore, inspiration and Mechanics We enter the horrible grimdark future with a homebrew cursed weapon, daemon or neverborn bringer, that due to multile corrupted states seems to work quite oddly…

Half-daemon spawn will be created in the hosts body, perhaps originally it been nurgling infestation, however weapon changed hands a lot and by now shows marks of many of the chaos panetheons, both major and minor.

It will grant some powers to the wielder…but is it really worth it…

The Axe of Neverborn Bringer has following stats for games of Dark Heresy 2nd edition or Only War: Image

Class Damage Penatration Special Weight Rarity Melee weapon 1d10+4 2 Vengful(8), Tainted, Tearing 13 kg. Near Unique

Special:

Each time damage result of 10 is rolled on this weapon, user gains d5 points of corruption.

Each time a foe with a soul is slain, another neatherborn halfbreed is added to the host's body, these will gestate for d10 weeks before being born. Host will always be able to deliver these halfbreed creatures.

Mayternity 2026 day 15: The Forest in Spring...

This is Fifth and last image of the third set, focusing on soulbound the Warhammer:Age of Sigmar Roleplaying game.

Mayternity day 15: The Forest in Spring...

"Your spell went off wrong, or your ship crashed, or perhaps you went though unknown realmgate, and now you and your band are in a far off corner of realm of life, where the winds of magic rage in full swing, and you were made aware by the smell of flowers and the noises of rustling wind that today is spring, which as you hear the songs and whispers across the forest...is perhaps not best time to be in this forest, for opposite of death is the danger..."

Lore, inspiration and Mechanics

To finish off the set I present something simple, the canon danger of forests in spring entering mating spree...with all things involved, and among them the tree folk of Sylvaneth...which can be both a danger and an interesting backdrop for an adventure...

Mechanically this respresents period where any forest with presence of sylvaneth might seek out and mate with creatures entering the forest, be it each other or some travellers, leading to the group being needed to either contain the forest, save someone inside or even find some item or even simply escape. All of terrain will be difficult terrain that slows down your movement one step as vines grasp and drag people down to the ground or into the graps of the walking trees, thus only flying high above them is likely safe...

As well as the urges will be known to creatures who fail either Fortitude (Body) 4:1 test very hour or Determination (Soul) 4:1 test, those affected will be in similar state to the Sylvaneth for an hour or until they succed the test again.

Some might try to use charm to get on the good side of the forest in heat, however, be warned, the wild seeded of life is not something you want to indulge into too much...
