Alliterative Adversaries A to Z for Science Fantasy or Space Fantasy
Absurd adventurers, an alien alchemist, aquatic apes or an advanced assassin...to use as allies, antagonists, enemies, villains and encounters.
Pick a letter or roll for one, roll a d10 (or choose) for the Adjectives column, and then for the Adversary and combine.
Entries have a default choice, and an alternative in italics. So if you don't like the first result, there may be another combination you like without rolling again.
There is a pdf of these and more tables on Drive Thru RPG as Space Fantasy Alliterative Adversaries.
