In the ''Dungeons & Dragons'' fantasy roleplaying game, the catoblepas ( or ) is an Aberration. ==Publication history== The catoblepas is based on the catoblepas, an Ethiopian legendary creature from Greek myth. The catoblepas first appeared in ''The Strategic Review'' #7 (April 1976), and then in the ''Eldritch Wizardry'' supplement (1976). The catoblepas appeared in the first edition ''Advanced Dungeons & Dragons'' in the original ''Monster Manual'' (1977).〔Gygax, Gary. ''Monster Manual'' (TSR, 1977)〕 David M. Ewalt, in his book ''Of Dice and Men'', discussed several monsters appearing in the original ''Monster Manual'', describing the catoblepas as looking like "an overweight buffalo with stumpy legs, a giraffe-like neck, and a warthog's head". The creature was further developed in "The Ecology of the Catoblepas (or, looks can be very deceiving)" in ''Dragon'' #73 (May 1983).〔Elliott, Chris, and Richard Edwards.
