Catoblepas

The ‘noble’ catoblepas. Abused, maligned, sometimes nearly forgotten. So weird is it that practically no one can agree on what it looks like. Surely a creature of pure fantasy with no basis in reality whatsoever.

Not so. There is something real behind it. Along the way we visit ancient TSR periodicals, talk about the first encyclopedic catalog, and discuss the advantages of knowing just enough to get yourself in trouble.
