Hook Horrors

Since I started to read the Appendix N literature, I thought that Dungeons & Dragons’ Hook Horror might have been inspired by the monsters from Fritz Leiber’s The Bleak Shore (one of his Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser stories). I have recently discovered a much closer match, Gigan from Japanese Monster Movies! You never know where these beasties might come from next!

Up next, how Tarzan at the Earth’s Core inspired the Sutherland Kobold.

Have a great day!
