Creatures & Horrors

The bestiary belongs to the Game Marshal's Grimoire. This public archive reveals only enough to establish the kinds of threats that exist in The Wicked West.

Spirit

Banshee of the West

A dangerous spectral presence whose voice can turn an encounter into panic. The full creature rules belong to the Game Marshal.

Reanimated Undead

Bonewalker

A corpse held together by unnatural persistence. Destroying one once does not necessarily mean it stays down.

Spirit

Phantom Rider

A mounted supernatural pursuer associated with relentless pursuit, impossible movement, and roads that stop feeling safe.

Construct

Blacksmith Golem

A heavily built supernatural construct of iron, heat, and physical force — proof that not every frontier horror was ever alive.

Veil-Touched Creature

Blighted Elk

An animal altered by supernatural contamination. Such creatures are consequences of pressure on the mortal world, not the deeper source behind it.

Historical Haunt

Confederate Shade

A Civil War-era manifestation tied to industrial-scale death and unresolved battlefield history rather than a timeless generic ghost story.

The monster is not always the source. Sometimes it is only the mark left behind when something deeper presses too hard against the world.
