Bestiary
GURPS has a pretty extensive bestiary, however it is spread over many books. Third editions had a dedicated bestiary but so far GURPS Fourth Edition does not. Instead it has several monster books and creatures in various setting and world building books. These pages are a listing of those and additional material provided by fans.
