Monsters as the Seven Deadly Sins

The Church has identified certain monsters with the seven deadly sins. The following litany is taught to young children to help them identify the sins within themselves. These monsters aren’t necessarily the most common, simply those the Church feels best exemplifies the seven sins.

“The Pride of the Wights has brought them to doom,
The Ghosts, full of Envy, lurk near in the gloom.
The Greed of the Kobolds drives them to kill.
The Gluttonous Ghoul on men has his fill.
A Lust for the Sirens brings a man’s death.
The Night Terrors steal a Slothful man’s breath.
The Wrath of the Drachen roars from its den,
But a man without sin is a king among men.”
