Folklore of the Fragrant Wilds

A Hor’Izon Bestiary of Myths, Spirits, and Jungle Secrets

5E-Compatible & Hor’Izon TTRPG Ready

“It sang my name, offered me a deal, and then politely stole my shadow.”

— Professor Thistledown Merriweather, still filing complaints in triplicate

In the humid corners of Jaladhaara — where jungle meets spice market, and festival drums echo through mist-soaked ruins — stories live longer than people do. Folklore of the Fragrant Wilds collects ten such stories, or rather, the things those stories became when no one was looking.

This bestiary introduces ten unique and deeply flavorful creatures for use in your 5E-compatible campaigns or the Hor’Izon TTRPG. From mirage foxes and memory-hungry panthers to festival-born wraiths and whispering djinn, these monsters bring a distinct cultural and magical tone drawn from Jaladhaara’s lush, spirit-rich setting.

Inside This Book:

• Ten original creatures from Jaladhaaran folklore
• Full stat blocks with traits and actions
• Vivid illustrations for every creature
• A whimsical, in-world introduction by Professor Merriweather
• Designed for both drop-in encounters or full thematic arcs

Whether you’re looking for a spirit that drinks lies, a panther that mimics your mother’s voice, or a sentient mask that remembers the applause better than you do — the Fragrant Wilds are ready to share their secrets.

Just… don’t follow the bells.
