About this Bestiary

This is a searchable compendium of 1050 creatures and NPCs from Guild Wars (2005), each rendered directly from the original game's 3D models and textures. Every figure is shown in bind pose against a parchment frame, the way an old cartographer's bestiary might catalogue the beasts of Tyria, Cantha, and Elona.

Searching

The search box matches on a creature's name and on every alias it carries — many Guild Wars foes share a single underlying model, so searching for one boss may surface the shared form it was built from. Press / anywhere to jump to the search box, and Esc to clear it. Click any entry for its full record: aliases, links to the official wiki, and the underlying model data.

Where the data comes from

The sprites and metadata are published as the open @geptyro/gw1-bestiary dataset (data v0.2.0). Models were extracted from the game data with GuildWarsMapBrowser, rendered headlessly in Blender, then validated and linked to the official wiki by hand.
