99. Monsters Like Guarding the Treasure, Fair Maidens, or the Gates to Hades

Most monsters are just blue collars ghouls. We only demand an honest day’s pay for a hard day’s work. And working security jobs are what we do best.

For millennia, we have spent our days fighting off Greek heroes, standing at the bottom of fairy tale castles, and arguing with our second and third heads while treasure hunters try to steal our precious relics and piles of gold.

If you think you have what it takes to steal my hoard of jewels, then please step forward. You look like you will crisp up very nicely with my fire breath. My middle stomach is feeling empty.
