All rations are iron rations...


...when you're a rust monster.  I recently rambled across Satisfactory Comics, where Isaac is indulging in an activity that never fails to charm me: the Illustrated Abecediary.  By his permission, his happy old school rust monster graces this post above.  I love how he's captured the glory of its dorkiness.  The original post may be a year old, but it clearly deserves more love and in it he sketches a nice, abbreviated version of the creature's history.  In addition to Mike & Isaac's blog, check out their online store.

This reminds me, I still haven't set down my ideas about this classic monster.  I've got to do this one of these days, as it builds on an element of folklore that I like that D&D has pretty much ignored.
