Monster Manuel
This ancient tome is the autobiography of Monster Manuel, the official Court Monstrologist for King Ralph II. Manuel really threw himself into his work, and when he died, he threw his soul into this book.

- Mr. Store (1 Mr. Accessory)
When Used
- Without a Monster Manuel:
You drop Monster Manuel on the ground near your quest log. The book grows little stumpy arms and legs, and toddles over to the hollow other end of the quest log. He tunnels in and makes himself comfortable. "This'll do, amigo," he says from within, his voice echoing. "Find us some monsters, and I'll give you some fun facts, okay?"
(He is now accessible via the Monster Manuel tab of your Quest Log.)
You drop Monster Manuel on the ground near your quest log. The book grows arms and legs and stumps off to the hollow other end of the log, only to come stomping right back. "There's already a piece of my soul in there, amigo," he says. "That's what you call one of those metaphysical dilemmas, okay?"

|
|
Monster Manuel sneaks up behind you, shouts, "BOO," then says, "I see you're easily startled, amigo, much like the Twitchy Pirate. But here's a fact about the monster you just beat:"
|
|
Monster Manuel swings down on a vine and looks at you critically. "You know, amigo, the average adventurer weighs in at about 150 pounds, okay? So maybe do a few push-ups between fights. Anyway, here's something you ought to know about your last opponent:"
|
|
Monster Manuel pops out from behind you. "You know, amigo, I am a font of wisdom, okay? Specifically, I'm helvetica of wisdom. Here's a fun fact about your last opponent:"
|
|
Monster Manuel surveys the grisly scene of your victory, blinking away wistful tears. "Amigo, I lived with these guys for years until I earned their trust and found out their secrets, okay. For example:"
|
|
Monster Manuel leaps out from behind you, startling you more than a little, and examines your latest conquest. "These guys are some tough cabrones, okay? Did you know:"
|
