That's when I turn to the Malleus Monstrorum to find what is exactly lurking in that dark basement at night or the cult is trying to summon with their ritual. This guide includes Mythos beasts, Gods, independent races, servitor races and unique entities as well as a few creatures of mythology that could find themselves in a CoC game and a smattering common but deadly creatures, such as wolves. Each entry has statistics and how to "run" each of these deadly Mythos beasts, some background and flavor and in most cases artwork. Each monster averages nearly a full page of space (to be exact, I'd say each one gets about 80% of a single page devoted to them unless they're something central to Lovecraftian lore such as an Elder God, etc. in which case they have more than a page devoted to them)There's a nice complete index in the back of the book, and also an index right in the middle of the book that separates out the many gods and categorizes them by deity type and another index in the front that categorizes by types of beings/monsters/. If I've needed to lookup a creature, I generally rely on the complete index in the back and am able to locate what I'm looking for quickly. Much of the art is "historic" plates such as pages from medieval manuscripts, vintage advertisements, the occasional document such as a diary entry or report of some kind. I've found myself flipping through this book, getting completely pulled in reading about the various Mythos creatures or random tidbits of lure and lost track of time. That's a good sign that not only is the book functional and useful, but entertaining.If you're a practicing Keeper (GM for CoC) and you're going to be running regular or semi-regular games of your own creation, I would recommend this book. If you're just starting out down the path of being a Keeper and not sure if you'll stick with it, perhaps run a few sessions and if you find yourself hooked, buy it. Also, if you're only running published scenarios and don't do much of your own adventure creation, you can get by without this book. Bottom line, the price I paid for this book, it has been a good value and an asset to my scenario/campaign creations. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great addition to my a Call of a Cthulhu shelf *by M***L on October 20, 2013* I was very happy to get the Malleus. 7th edition Call of Cthulhu may be just around the corner, but the Malleus is filled with a lot of great horrors (such as the King in Yellow and a host of Nyarlathotep's many Masks) that are an awesome resource for Keepers. A few stat conversions may be necessary to keep using the Malleus when 7th edition arrives, but from what I know the conversions are easy, and well worth it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ For gamers, not literary scholars *by F***R on November 1, 2010* There are a bunch of bone-headed wannabe literary scholars out there that complain about anything made about the Cthulhu mythos that does not match their expectations. Those people will undoubtedly be unhappy about this publication and think they have some right to knock it based upon their expectations. Their expectations are an unfair evaluation of the material and their blathering only serves to pump up their perception of themselves. Ignore them.This book was definitely made for CoC RPG players. It serves really well that function of a "Monster Manual", helping to flesh out the games and give some basis for Keepers to work with the mythos creatures. You may or may not be able to find links to these creatures in Lovecraft's writing. You will find this a helpful source for adding to campaigns. I know I also find ideas to start adventures just by flipping through the pages.And, yes, I am a Lovecraft fan. I read his work long before I became involved in the CoC game. In fact, Lovecraft was the basis of at least 2 thesis papers I wrote (and aced) while getting my graduate degree. I'm just the reasonable sort that knows we all have the freedom to create and imagine what we want. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/219713-malleus-monstrorum-creatures-gods-and-forbidden-knowledge-roleplaying-game-guide](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/219713-malleus-monstrorum-creatures-gods-and-forbidden-knowledge-roleplaying-game-guide) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-03*
