Goblin Worg-Riders | Monsters for Dungeons & Dragons Fifth Edition

A quick monster stat block for The Secret of Forsaken Peak adventure that I’m working on (Part 1 should be out tomorrow!). When doing an OGL adventure for Dungeons & Dragons Fifth Edition you’re limited to some of the resources you can use.

For example, I can’t use goblin bosses, as they aren’t covered in the 5e systems reference document.

Therefore, I have to create my own version of a high-level goblin. Hence, a goblin worg-rider.

Thanks for reading!

I’m loving the hell out of The Secret of Forsaken Peak already. Why? Because it has goblins! Woohoo!
