Stats for Glass Thieves, Abductors, Thaumaturgists, Blackbirds, Dragons, Adepts of the Flame, Crab-Dogs, and the Simurgh can be found in the TNU Bestiary available through Johnstone Metzger’s patreon.
Witch-Trolls, Sky Tyrants, Burning Automatons, and Ghouls are from Only Monsters Here.
Stats for humans like the Occult-Futurists, Transcendentalists, etc. are typically repurposed from Only Monsters Here, though I will dip into the Thaumaturgist statblocks in the bestiary for spellcasters.
