Faded leather books available in your local library, wrote in a somewhat shakey hand.*

The underdark of amia is vastly differnt then those of my mainland travels, prehapse its the magic condensed..mutation seems to move at an even higher rate then normal..

*much of the book is illegible, however some can begleaned from its jumbled and nonsensical pages*

Mushroom Pygmies..

A strange varriation of the more common Veggie pygmies, these seemed to have formed a symbiotic relationship with a particular type of mould found it wet regions...

though individually no more dangerous then a goblin, it seems during 'bloom' years, the 'males' can get particularly large and violent....

Unable to discren why some look female..

Mindflayers...

There seems to be a larger cult connected by a layer of elder brains....I cannot..or hope not to..find their location...seem to be very content to keep to themselves, its possible their studying something...what brought them here? As far as research shows their non native, having only moved here in any numbers during the events that lead to zanshibons destruction..

Beholders...

Mostly in small numbers or solitary, research has indicated a particularly deadly, heavily armor plated species seems to exist somewhere within the deep ravines...

After capture of a smaller species, it seems to be indicative that they have developed an 'invisibility eye', able to cloak each other in their movements...

Deeprock Trolls..

A mutant hybrid of troll I hope desperetly to never spread...

this strange creature is almost entirely mouth and claws, an adult female often possessing a mouth capable of swalling an adult elf whole, with over 600 teeth....

Even more mindless then their realitives, they seem to only understand to eat, charging mindlessly, and seem even more combustive then their breathern, though it appears their wounds heal even faster...possibly a sub shoot of cave trolls..

Ogres..

These....to call them ogre's is to call a halfling a human, the location of slaughterstone where they lair seems to have mutated their own physilogical structure..

Great, lumbering beasts with flesh hard as stone and bones of steel, yet their ponderous gaite and size has shown to be a greater weakness even then their pittiable intelligence, simple mind magics succeed where great necromantic spells have failed me..

Dragons?
*these seem hastily done*

Dear Mystra!

*the rest of the book is soaked with what would appear to be long dried blood. nothing further was wrote*
