[@Starsteemer] I didn't know you could just upload from your PC. Interesting.

Anyway, I don't mind going with an original monster design; I just wanna suggest to maybe choose something humanoid? I mean, I'm not gonna hide the fact that there will be artifacts and equipment that you guys can come across. 

I just feel that being a quadruped would probably hinder you in some ways. 

This thought has made me contemplate on where to just allow humanoid beasts or have everyone start out as human with Anathema blood. Basically making them social outcasts and giving them a reason to abandon humanity and serving Typhon.
