Where did Dungeons & Dragons creator Gary Gygax find inspiration for his magical monsters like the Bulette, Rust Monster, and Owlbear? Apparently inside a bag of crappy plastic “Prehistoric Animals” sold at variety stores in the early 1970s! Tony DiTerlizzi has more: “Owlbears, Rust Monsters, and Bulettes, Oh My!” (via Laughing Squid)
