From the back of the book:

For as long as we’ve lived upon this green earth, we have recounted fire-side stories of things that go bump in the night. We have conjured explanations for the unimaginable, and within our consciousness, they have taken the forms of ghouls and ghosts. These creatures have been the focus of fairy tales, sagas and myths. Only the brave and wise have overcome these adversaries... for one must first learn of their weakness, before setting out to vanquish them.

This book is a bestiary for the Fate of the Norns™: Ragnarok game system. Each creature is illustrated and presented with myth, lore and game stat pages. The stats include 5 tiers of power, allowing a Norn to use them for any situation with zero-preparation.

Creatures from Fairy-Tales and Myth also expands the Runic Game System (RGS) by adding social combat mechanics along with secrets and vulnerabilities. This will allow players to recreate scenes that mirror saga and fairy-tale depictions.
