The Monsters – Ulus Game

Most of the monsters in our game are taken from the Epic of Geser (or Gesar), believed to date from the 12^th century, and are beasts and demons Geser, a divine emissary sent to conquer evil, fought and overcame almost from the day of his birth. The epic comes in many variants; Tibetan versions alone consist of more than a million verses.

Mongolian Death Worm

A vast, poisonous worm of the Gobi desert, called olgoi-khorkhoi. Like the sandworms in Dune and Tremors, it travels underground and can kill at a distance, either by spraying poison or by electrical discharge. Most active in summer, and when the ground is wet. Preys on camels and lays its eggs in their intestines. Corrodes metal, and is attracted by the color yellow.

Manggus

The great many-headed monster-demon of Mongolian mythology that killed Jianggar’s parents and invaded his kingdom, forcing him to go to war at the age of three.

Atai Ulan

King of the malicious gods of the East, defeated and dismembered by Tengri so he could not reincarnate. But each of the severed parts of his body became different demons and monsters, and Geser had to fight them all one by one.
