INTRODUCTION\n\nThough we now praise such studies,students of preternatural lifeforms once were castigatedand persecuted.For generations,‘pracktikal metaphysiques'were threatened merely forstriving after the truth.Those pioneers faced hair-raising danger—not only from the thingsthey studied,but also from the hand of their fellow man.  \nThe present volume presents information to the public in what is believed to be aneasily assimilable form.All concerned hope that knowledge of these strange creatures canbecome more widespread,increasing support for urgently-needed research efforts.  \nTHESE PAGES DISCUSS 27 TERRORS of the hyper-geometrical realms,those which most  \nconcern us Earth-bound mortals.  \nEach two-page entry has an identical apparatus:a general discussion,notes on habitat,distribution,and life and habits,and hints for distinguishing one entity from others in thisbook.There is a height chart,and a diagram of some special point of interest about the entity.  \nSince many preternatural creatures do not photograph well or cannot be photographedat all,an accurate painting illustrates each monster.  \nAn easy-to-use scientific key helps tell one monster from another.Near the end of thisfield guide,a relative-size chart compares the 27 field guide monsters with the creators of thisbook.A bibliography and recommended reading list complete the text.  \nPRENATURALIST FIELD WORK IS EXCITING and personally rewarding,but amateurpreternaturalists are reminded to take appropriate precautions before initiating observations.  \nObstacles to successful observation are plain.With rare exceptions,preternaturalcollections in museums or zoological gardens do not exist,so that the student gains littleacquaintance with the entities he or she seeks to encounter.Indeed,preternatural physicalevidence of any sort is difficult or impossible to come by.  \nThe naturalist can establish blinds,follow game paths,lurk near water holes,plantvideo cameras,and otherwise dog the heels of his chosen species.Such ploys are unavailableto the preternaturalist,whose interest may be not only off-planet but out-of-universe.Andmetaphysical observation methods are available only to scholars and other trainedprofessionals.Understandably,the successful observer must be extremely patient
