Those who don’t understand the true nature of haraknins often incorrectly identify them as fiendish lycanthropes. The haraknin is not a true lycanthrope; it is a hell hound that has learned to assume humanoid form. Created by devil lords to serve as intelligent trackers and guardians, haraknin often journey to the Material Plane to undertake […]
This request comes from one of my Patrons. Here’s what he requested: “Would love to see what magical cursed items under the theme of the seven deadly sins. I’m running a campaign that each sin is a mini-boss (or ally) and me and my players are having a great time with it.” Sounds awesome! With Infinity […]
This bloated fiend has a massive paunch that hangs far below its waist. Where its warty pink flesh shows through its black robes, curls of stinking mist rise. The creature’s head is broad and monstrous. Its face has two yellow porcine eyes above a wide mouth filled with sharp teeth. Two bone ridges roll back along the top of […]
Formians hail from planes devoted to law. They seek to colonize all that they see and incorporate all living things into their hive as workers. Expansionist in the extreme, their goal is to spread colonies until they have taken over everything and their order is unquestioned. To further this end, they attack all other creatures, […]
Last night, I had a dream about the first video game that I ever played, Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link. For those who don’t remember (or aren’t old enough to remember), the boss of the first dungeon was Horsehead. Horsehead was literally just that: a knight with the head of a horse. I figured […]
Achaierai are massive, flightless birds that inhabit the infernal plane of Acheron and are only occasionally encountered elsewhere. They are evil, clever, and predatory, with a distinct taste for torture. Standing some 15 feet tall, achaierai have plump bodies resembling quails’ and four stork legs. Their soft feathers range in color through a variety of […]
If Jillian is a total bad-ass at CR 21 and she’s the just lieutenant, then how bad-ass is the captain of the guard himself? My guess would be CR 24 or so. Koroxon Medium fiend (demon), chaotic evil Armor Class 21 (natural armor, floating shield +1) Hit Points 237 (25d8 + 125) Speed 40 ft. […]
Here’s another interesting monster that I felt like tossing into the Bzallin’s Blacksphere adventure. Basically, I needed another incredibly difficult creature for a solo encounter. This one needs to be Challenge Rating 3 in order for it to be a decent challenge. Abyssal Hydra Huge fiend (demon), chaotic evil Armor Class 19 (natural armor) Hit […]
Jillian is part of the Bzallin’s Blacksphere adventure. The original Jillian was a CR 10 challenge, but I realized that I probably needed to beef her up a bit. Edit: I realize that I actually made her too low of a challenge at 16. So I had to beef her up even more to CR […]
Demons are an integral part of D&D. They’re probably a big part of why parents in the ’70s and ’80s didn’t want their kids playing the game. For whatever reason, I don’t get a ton of requests for demons or devils. But this one just came in from Patreon and it had me pretty stoked. […]
