The chapter closes with some comments on animal populations, as well as the commercial value of various animal parts. The first chapter also has a section on how creatures fight and behave in combat, as well as providing custom hit location tables for common creature forms that differ from a humanoid shape. These templates significantly multiply the variety of creatures available to the game master. Thus there are templates for size modification, elemental forms, undead, venomous creatures, disease carriers, mutations, and so forth. These are sets of powers with appropriate advantages and limitations that can be applied to modify a creature. New with this release is a section in chapter one on Creature Templates. The application of powers and their limitations is detailed specifically for creatures such as animals, and the various disadvantages are explained in terms of how they are best applied. Each of the skills common to animals is described in terms of how it is applied to the various life forms. The first chapter gives an overview of creatures in a role-playing game, along with descriptions of the game system statistics and how creatures are created using the Hero System point build method.
