Monstrous Compendium Mod

Author of the Monstrous Compendium Mod: mlie

The Monstrous Compendium Mod adds various new creatures and incidents to RimWorld, including mythical beasts, dangerous monsters, tameable creatures, and hostile Illithid raids.

Monstrous Compendium Mod Features

  • Adds several new creatures and incidents.
  • Some creatures can be tamed.
  • Some creatures have ranged attacks when used with the RangeAnimalFramework Mod.
  • Adds Illithids as a hostile faction-like threat, similar to mechanoids.

Added creatures

  • Giant beetle: Lives on trees and is docile, so it can be tamed easily.
  • Fire beetle: Often lives in rocky desert regions and can spit fire.
  • Gryphon: Fast, strong, hard to tame, smart enough to help humans, and expensive.
  • Hydra: Has five heads and venomous teeth, and lives in jungles or swamps. Unfortunately, due to the creator’s short programming skill, they cannot regenerate their heads.
  • Black pudding: Consumes everything near it, can slow down its prey, and is dumb.
  • Purple worm: Similar to the death worm of other fictions. Carnivorous. Strong. Nice.
  • Deviljho: Ya, correct. that guy of monster hunter series. sometimes a Hungry deviljho can roam around your house. Hang in there.
  • Illithid: Fortunately are not wild animals. They are a kind of faction, like mechanoids. Sometimes Illithids visit your base to melt your brain. Be careful, and prepare expert melee fighters before regret. :D As they are real CR 7 monsters.

The RangeAnimalFramework Mod is not required, but with it some creatures from the Monstrous Compendium Mod can use ranged attacks.

Known issue: when Illithids raid, error messages may appear. These errors are not dangerous and can be ignored.
