I've made a number of comments about working on my Bestiary, and this post is for Roequard who asked to see what one of the write-ups look like.
So here it is. It's a draft of the Goblin Chieftain, a not uncommon foe in our campaigns by any means. I converted it to PDF and from there to PNG so it's a bit blurry, hasn't had its final edit (I just completed this draft today), and is likely rather cryptic given all the game speak specific to Age of Heroes in it.
I picked it due to a lack of references to special rules and abilities, well beyond the morale effects anyway.
Looking at this I notice that I use a lot of white space, which certainly increases my page count. This for example takes up an entire page and most entries take up a half page.
On the other hand I think it results in a clean appearance so I'm sticking with it.

Thanks for sharing. :)
I like that you included so much information -- a lot of the monster sections I've read always seem either to use completely different rules/stats than the characters, or the entry is a quarter page and not really game-ready.
Creatures use the same basic rules as characters in Age of Heroes although there are a few small exceptions.
Since these core rules don't support Creatures as PCs, I saved some space by leaving some stuff out. If there's ever a full Bestiary Expansion, those rules might well appear there.
