GURPS Dragons. Dragons and other serpentine and reptilian races, both as monsters and as civilized beings.

GURPS Faerie. Dwellers "under the hill" and their cousins in folklore.

GURPS In Nomine. Roleplay agents of Heaven or Hell, or pagan gods and spirits with no ties to either side. A GURPS treatment of extremely powerful supernatural beings as player characters.

GURPS Places Of Mystery. Locales with mysterious or unusual histories, from all over the world and from every historical period.
