A GM has nicely updated the Barbarian circle ratings in the bestiary. These are the updates. The GM notes there are unaccounted-for discrepancies in things like Mriss bristles vs Rossmans bristles. He expects to know more about creatures with variations in his second phase. The official post is in the GM announcements of the Creatures of Elanthia category.

For now I'm not embellishing on the details like I normally do with these charts, just circle + critter.

Circle	Creature
4	Blood Nyad
4	Blood Dryad
6	Cougar
8	Revenant Zombie
12	Bone Wolf
16	Snowbeasts
20	Grave Worm
21	Moss Mey
34	Seordhevor Kartais
38	Death Spirit
61	Misshapen Germish'Din

I think that's everything.

I was counting everything south of the ferry so sorry for the oversight. Kelpie is listed as Barb-circle 3.

At least it's a bug that sort of makes sense. Never could figure out why the Theren Kelpies laired in a TREE (well, mostly they appear on the path leading to the tree, but still, it's not like we're wading a brook to get to them). I mean, aren't Kelpies moreorless animated aquatic plants (ie, seaweed-people)?


J'Lo, no that other one

>>I mean, aren't Kelpies moreorless animated aquatic plants (ie, seaweed-people)?

Standing on two legs the kelpie is somewhat small, like a dwarf. It looks back at you, a bit agitated.

I don't have anyone around Theren at moment to get description from describe, but don't think they are.

It's fascinating, though, how much like an oral culture this can be when it's carried out entirely in text.--GM Natala

Though the description in-game doesn't exactly lend itself to this, for what it's worth:

kelpie: A malevolent water spirit of Scottish legend, usually having the shape of a horse and rejoicing in or causing drownings.

[Probably of Celtic origin; akin to Scottish Gaelic colpach, heifer.]

I would also have to point out that myths and legends tend to vary immensely, and often dictionary/encyclopedia entries tend to only touch on the surface of the topic. In truth, folklore and legend vary immensely from region to region, and often village to village. Trying to say "This is what the real-life version was like" rarely really works, because so much variance does and always will exist.

If your really worried about what Kelpies look like go describe one

You gesture at a sand sprite.
Its head soars through the air as its neck is entirely destroyed!
A sand sprite slowly falls to the ground, moaning in despair, shuddering in pain before taking her last breath.
