Bestiary

The Bestiary of Madesko

Everything that bites, steals or charges in the fields and the lanes.

At a glance

Every creature, side by side.

Health, experience and gold are what a creature is worth when you beat it. Gold grows with the creature's level. Experience is shared among everyone who fought it, and gold is split by how much each fighter did. Distances are steps from the centre of the city, which sits in the middle of the fields.
