I moved the following from the article, because it's clearly RPG stuff, though not what I remember from playing Dungeons and Dragons. It should be integrated back into the article with proper context given. — No-One Jones (talk) 05:57, 2 Feb 2004 (UTC)

A catoblepas is a behemoth like monster that walks on all fours and resembles a mix between a lion, tiger and a wolf and besides been covered with fur of different colors (red, purple), with eyes all over its body which emits all sorts of powers.

[edit] Death Cheese?

Does anyone know anything about the 'Death Cheese' thing? I've never heard of it. Is it perhaps in a spin-off like Baldur's Gate? (Unsigned)

[edit] External Link Broken

Well... yeah. It is broken. Does anyone have a link to replace it? (Unsigned)

[edit] External Link UnBroken

I replaced the broken URL, seems like the URL of the original page changed slightly.Deinotherium 13:23, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gorgon

The use of the term 'Gorgon' is actually MUCH older than the D&D usage. Several medeival beastiaries use 'gorgon' to refer to creatures with similar descriptions. Apparently, some translaters confused various tales, probably due to the 'deathgaze' similarilty. CFLeon (talk) 22:46, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
