The Monster of the Week - The Mahaha!

The Monster of the Week product line takes its inspiration from the television trope of the same name: a convention by which a weekly television production might introduce a new freak, villain, or beastie in every episode, allowing the episode’s themes and topics to revolve around the latest “big bad.” Monster of the Week aims to arm GMs with creatures and villains perfect for such a role. Whether you’re looking to populate a memorable encounter or a villainous story arc, our Monster of the Week is made for maximum creepfactor and memorable “wow” power!

Within this installment’s pages you will find the true and terrible description of the mahaha – a shaggy, mountain-dwelling creature not dissimilar to a yeti or sasquatch, and yet far more unnerving than either… for the mahaha leaves its victims with a macabre calling card: a signature smile, twisted and frozen upon the faces of those unfortunate enough to succumb to the monster’s claws. Called by names like “the tickler,” or “the smiling man,” few creatures make for more unsettling foes.
