Limbo The Swirling Soup. The EverChange. Bolim. Olbmi. I'm sure you can imagine, the Plane of Pure Chaos has more than a few names. Some sages count its layers as five, but since there's nothing to tell 'em apart, it seems a rather futile gesture. On a plane with this many names, it's not going to be too much of a shock to learn that there are many, many creatures a berk can rub shoulders with. Too many. Limbo has a dangerous habit of opening gates and portals spontaneously to other planes and pulling creatures through. More often than not, they're fried or drowned or crushed or zapped, or if the slaad get hold of them first, eaten. Therefore, many of the encounters with off-planar creatures will be with being terrified by the chaotic soup, and probably very close to meeting their end in one of the aforementioned manners. Or another, if they're unlucky. Three types of creature are capable of surviving on Limbo: real natives of the plane; visitors with enough magic or willpower to hold the plane's swirling chaos at bay; and truly lucky berks who've landed in a stable spot. The latter type don't usually last more than a few minutes longer than their bubble of stability, though...

No, I ain't a tout known for copping out, and I resent you thinking that. Trouble is, without listing every creature that's ever been known, it ain't going to be a complete list. You really can meet anything on Limbo. There's no rhyme or reason to it. Like I said above, there's an environment to support any kind of life here; the trouble is it usually doesn't last long unless the inhabitant has figured out the dark of concentrating to keep it safe for 'em. So, on Limbo you really can find unicorns, medusa, will o' wisps, orcs and efreet. Anything smart will try and leave pretty sharpish, though, before their luck runs out...
