Here is the direct link to "Chapter 1: Prefaces & Introduction" of the Great Lustrian Bestiary, an in-setting medieval-style bestiary I've been working on for almost a year. The Bestiary's second chapter "Tome I: Maritime & Coastal Fauna of Lustria." is going live next friday.
(if you are wonderign why it's only being posted on ao3, it's the because the overall work is so long -more than 400 pages full of images- that I just don't think it's practical or feasible to double-post it like my stories.

 

Here is the direct link to "Tome I: Maritime & Coastal Fauna of Lustria" , the bestiary's forst proper chapter. This beastie includes 90+ imgaes and almost as many entries, and give you all a good idea of the mix of irl, fantastical and "in-betweener" creatures this document features.
btw @Scalenex could it be possible to add a link in the Lustriapedia?

 

Here is the direct link to "Tome II: Freshwater Fauna of Lustria" , which looks like it's going to be the bestiary's longest segment. Almost 215 images in entries from as modest as fooder fish to water-dwelling monster capable of swallowing adventurers whole!

 

What do you all think of the bestiary so far?

 

Here are the links to "Tome III: Invertebrates of Lustria" & "Tome IV: Volant Fauna of Lustria", with these two tomes, we have reached halfway through the bestiary in terms of pagecount, with the remaining tomes being noticably more focused on smaller segemnts of the Lustrian fauna.

 

Here's the link to "Tome V: Lesser Herbivores of Lustria", after this tome, the remaining ones will start being shorter but focused on the kind of stuff most people are really here for

 

Here's the link to "Tome VI: Warm-Blooded Herbivores of Lustria", this tome is quite short, but does have the dubious honor of holding some canon creatures that I somehow came up with before Cubicle 7.

(If you want an explanation, the toxon and willembeest entries were written years ago, but I had to rename and re-edit them because the WFRP book for Lustria mentioned creatures with the exam same design and inspiration)
