I got bored, so I'm now making conversions for critters found in Paranormal Animals of North America. Some things were changed, but I tried as hard as I could to retain the original creatures abilities as it relates to the SR4 rules set. I only did Aardwolf to Bombardier; a surprisingly big list. I will also post a comprehensive set of the paranimals when I am finished, I just wanted to hear your criticisms and opinions along the way.

here's a brief summary of the animals in this installment:

Aardwolf- spotted canine that moves about as fast as a Cheetah
Agropelter- angry little simian that likes to break things
Bandersnatch- large HMHVV infected Sasquatch (Think Predator the movie)
Bandit- Raccoon with opposable thumbs
Behemoth- Cross between an elephant, alligator, and hippo.
Birdman- Think traditional Imp with a bit more battiness
Black Annis- hunched, black, and angry monkey.
Blood Kite- a hawk that is very good at tearing out eyes
Bogie- Big black mastiff with horns
Bombardier- awakened flying squirrel

I was in the middle of doing something like this, too, for the Shadowrun Resources site, but then they announced Running Wild, and I just lost the motivation.

Don't forget the Paranormal Animals of Europe. This book had a very small print run and poor distribution, but adds a nice twist for those wanting to get killed in Europe.

How about the Vorpal Beaver (Shadows of North America, p. 112)?

(The name carries such a terrible innuendo, doesn't it?)

There's certainly some overlap between Running Wild and list in the first post.

What about resurrecting a few Earthdawn creatures? Like Shadowmants or Preces. That could be fun.

3E stats for many of those can be found here. Also, the Preces was ocne mentioned in a canon book already, unsure which though.
