Weights & Measures: 4,000 Pounds
Yep, that there is a full growed Blue Herffle. She weighs in at 4,000 pounds, which is pretty much average, bub. See the way both tails curl up over her back? That means she’s ready for breedin’. You put her in a breedin’ ring with one of them big 5,500 pound males and he’ll get the job done right fast. Now, you do have to watch that he doesn’t break one of her horns when he grabs onto her with his breedin’ claws. That happens now and again and it fair pisses them females off. Can’t say as I’d blame them.
Oh yeah, we have the Brown and Yellow Herffles, too, but they don’t grow up as fast or as big as the Blues do. For my money, they taste better, too. A Blue Herffle steak is a damned tasty meal, bub. Now, how many head were you thinkin’ of buyin’?

To my Non-Gaming readers: Many traditional roleplaying games, especially Dungeons & Dragons, have charts and tables for various random things. In this series of posts, I’m just putting up some random tables with the hopes that one of my crazy gamer friends will build a roleplaying game around them. Yes, it’s all very screwy.
