General note: Many paranormal critters from previous editions were mentioned by name in this book but not given any stats, such as merlin hawks, bonzo parrots, and blackberry cats (p.11); rockworms and mermaids (p.13); megalodons and krakens (p.20); woolly mammoths and wyverns (p.21); blood kites, eyekillers, stormcrows, Sangre del Diablo, and wyrd mantises (p.26); gloaming owls (p.27); quicksilver mongoose, talis cat, and incubus (p.28); bombardier (p.93); and ekyelebenle (p.179). These should be prioritized for the next supplement. You could call it Growling Shadows! … to be followed by Snarling Shadows, then Roaring Shadows, then … Please just take my money.

Uncalled for salt aside, that's awesome.  Thanks!  Any information on the cost of the Warform modification?

Jeeze.  It would almost sound stupid until you realize we're talking about an immortal elf clown sword fighting a dragon ghost in a mall.
