Upright Meaning

  • Person. Someone whose fine qualities are masked by one annoying trait.
  • Creature or Trap. A lycanthrope, or a creature that appears to be an inanimate object until it strikes (such as a gargoyle).
  • Place. A secret chamber or a place concealed by terrain; alternatively, a place larger or more elaborate on the inside than it seems from outside.
  • Treasure. A treasure whose value isn't immediately apparent, or a magic item that appears to be a worthless object.
  • Situation. A problem that requires investigation and is more complicated than it appears.

Reversed Meaning

  • Person. A person who seems competent but bungles everything they attempt.
  • Creature or Trap. A creature that uses its fearsome appearance to frighten away others because it is too weak to fight.
  • Place. A place with an impressive exterior but a dingy, poorly maintained interior.
  • Treasure. A treasure that seems more valuable than it is, perhaps an ordinary item that falsely appears magical.
  • Situation. A situation that seems—and is—too good to be true.
