Using the Bestiary
The most effective Pharaonic encounters connect the creature to a place and a reason. A crocodile in a canal, a uraeus in a royal sanctuary, a mummy in a sealed tomb and a fiend near a desecrated shrine are not interchangeable threats. Follow the creature into its own entry for edition-specific mechanics, then use the surrounding geography, cult and divine relationships to decide why it is there.
