Recently, I got a request to create a “yuan-ti big bad” and I can’t for the life of me find the person who requested it. So I’m kinda running blind here. Anyways, the idea that I got for this was to take this serpent person and make it into a badass monk. After all, I […]
This is part of my ongoing “campaign setting in a bottle”, the Zombie Apocalypse Campaign Setting using Fifth Edition Rules. For more information, be sure to check out the first part of the rules adjustment. A soldier is a highly trained combatant. They typically serve in armies, but this entry may also serve as a […]
Continuing this mini-series on Libris Mortiis monsters updated for 5e, I’m going to be recreating the skulking cyst, another yucky monster from third. What is a skulking cyst? The horrible creature walking into view is a mass of free-roaming intestines, flaccid organs, and a few odd rib bones. Dragging behind it like a dead weight is a […]
Back in third edition, they had a few somewhat “controversial” books. One such book was Libris Mortiis, the Book of Undead. This book was full of all sorts of creepy, crawly, body-horrory type spells, monsters, and special options for 3rd. Seeing as how Fifth is a little more “public-friendly” than previous editions, I doubt such […]
Cockatrices are one of those monsters that make awesome a-hole monsters at early levels but aren’t much to fear later on. However, back in second edition, the cockatrice had a firey cousin called the pyrolisk. Which, frankly, was way worse than a cockatrice. Or most other monsters for that matter. What is a pyrolisk? Frequently […]

Here are zombie stats for basilisks, behirs, and bugbears. Basilisk Zombie Medium undead, unaligned Armor Class 14 (natural armor) Hit Points […]
Forest giants are among the tallest specimens of giantkind, and they can live to be up to 200 years old. They are powerful hunters that pose a threat to all animals that dwell in the woods. An adult forest giant stands 18 feet tall but weighs only 3,000 pounds. The lanky, muscular body resembles that […]

The flavor text is taken from the original Monstrous Manual. Lich, Defiler Though there is nothing more loathsome than the foul undead, the defiler lich raises even this putrid circle […]
A flesh jelly is a nauseating mound of stinking flesh that gorges itself on any creatures unfortunate enough to cross its path. These ravenous oozes are usually found in tropical regions. A flesh jelly is a blob of soft, fleshy tissue surrounded by a filthy membrane composed of skin, hair, and fur. When it moves, […]
I’ve been having fun converting old Ravenloft monsters to Fifth Edition. With a stomach full of Thanksgiving food and a brain full of caffeine, I figured, “Hey! Why not make some more.” A little background on how I’ve been finding these monsters to convert plus a bit of a shoutout. These are all coming from […]
