Wampus Country Henchpersons and Hangers-On

Wampus Country Henchpersons and Hangers-On

(credit to Erik Jensen). Also known as "The Dog-faced Washerwoman Table" This generator produces ten random, whimsical Wampus-Folk.

Striga Quick Picks [full]

Custom Striga Action Name Erik suggests: Consider translation into a milieu-appropriate-sounding language (Granny = Baba). The name tables are intended for inspiration, not straight generation without tweaking. ... if possible, use name as inspiration for a supernatural quirk (ie ‘Mama Glassbelly’ becomes a striga with a transparent gut - her most recent victim (usually a toddler) can be seen inside, pounding on the walls and screaming to be let out)
