Festive BONEfire: Chilling Adversaries for Daggerheart

Krampa, the female counterpart of the Krampus. The demon whips creatures with her tongue, imprisons them into her giant belly, and vomits hot coal on the "naughty ones". 

Wax Choir, a monstrous gathering of singing candles with a body of burning wax, chanting cursed carols to lure victims into a gruesome death in the winter's cold.

Heat Devourer, a two-phase undead encounter that steals the heat of the living, healing itself and its minions, eventually bursting into flames.
Includes the frozen one, a minion with a very cold hug.

The macabre items of the Emporium, to collect or harvest from the three monsters: Bonefire, Chanting Candle, Icy Heart, Krampa Stomach Bag, Songbook of Cursed Carols, Whip of Krampa Hair.

Armando and Iginio Malamorte welcome you to the winter exposition of their emporium, filled with macabre rarities and grotesque relics. The two brothers are scholars and collectors with a taste for anything that would frighten most of their peers, and they often hire adventurers to investigate rumors of cursed items and sinister creatures.

Are you ready to go on one of their chilling hunts?

Malamorte’s Oddities Collection: Festive BONEfire is a compilation of creatures and magic items compatible with the Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition TTRPG, inspired by the horrors of Guillermo Del Toro, Edgar Allan Poe, H.P. Lovecraft, Tim Burton and Bloodborne.

Everything in these pages is sure to be dreadful, macabre or unsettling, making them an ideal addition to a horror or grim dark fantasy campaign frame such as Age of Umbra or Dark Heart of Andaluria, or to be included in a particularly hazardous dungeon or location for any game style.

Echidna Design | Paolo Davolio
Lead designer, writer and project manager

I’ve been playing many TTRPGs for over 20 years, both as GM and player, and publishing under the name “Echidna Design”.

Among my other works, you’ll find Hall of Horrors, the horror bestiary and item collection for Daggerheart, the Honkonomicon, the best-selling book about the powers of geese for Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition, and the Godly Grimoire, also for D&D 5E, which was chosen by famous influencer and youtuber Ginny Di to be featured in one of her videos.

I also collaborated with The Eren Chronicles as lead monster designer for Exordium: Origins of Mythos for Dungeons and Dragons, which raised more than 55.000 dollars on Kickstarter.

My original setting Into the Paper World was selected for inclusion in Kobold Press' Guide to the Labyrinth, part of the Tales of the Valiant rules.

When I'm not designing disturbing horrors, I work as a lyrical singer specialising in early music, and am humbled to be able to give voice to the wonders of Renaissance, Baroque and Medieval composers.

Lead illustrator, co-author

Federico Zanetti is a talented illustrator with a knack for disturbing creations, who goes by the name “Follow_the_fool”. He contributed to the Honkonomicon by creating the artworks for some of its most iconic monsters, and is the co-creator and lead illustrator of Into the Paper World.

Federico is half of the heart and soul of Malamorte’s Oddities Collection: he illustrated everything within its pages, and each idea you’ll find there was originally conceived by both of us.

He's also a dear friend of mine and a fellow player from my 10+ years campaign. We love joining forces to imagine and realize fantastical worlds and horrific creatures.
