Dreg Watchers | New Monster for Dungeons & Dragons Fifth Edition

For those of you who’ve been following along with the blog, you probably noticed that I’ve been working on a mini-project with the amazing, awesome Bert Verwaest of Crosshead Studios on his Metalhead project. I absolutely love Bert’s vision and style, so I’m glad to help out with all the mechanical know-how to help bring […]

Vahrek, the Prime Nezznar | Villain for Dungeons & Dragons Fifth Edition (Spoilers)

If you’re a member of the Bloody Bunch, you probably shouldn’t read this. You’ve been warned. One of the main villains of the Bloody Bunch campaign is a doppelgänger named Vahrek who has assumed the identity of a long-dead drow slave named Nezznar. To some, he’s known as Nezznar Prime. None who respect him would […]

Dwarven Wardogs | Monsters for Dungeons & Dragons Fifth Edition

This is a request I got a while back that I’m finally able to get to making (sorry for the delay, Graham). Graham’s request is simple: “A genetically superior hellhound bred for battle.” Graham expanded on the idea on Instagram: “What would a war dog be like? In the world I’m building, the dwarves of […]

Stat Anything: Gremlins (Mogwai) | Monsters for Dungeons & Dragons Fifth Edition

This morning, while tossing and turning, I got the wild idea to create Gremlins from the 1984 Joe Dante movie. If you aren’t familiar with gremlins, they are small, lizard-like creatures that live to cause havoc. They spawn from mogwai that have eaten after midnight and they multiply when you put water on them. In […]

White Bats | Monsters for Dungeons & Dragons Fifth Edition

White bats are massive, subterranean creatures often used as mounts by the Blood Knights of Oelet. These beasts resemble a cross between a horse, lion, and bat, covered in thick, white fur. They are primarily nocturnal creatures and sensitive to sunlight. Mostly blind, white bats have a powerful sense of echolocation, capable of pinpointing even […]

Pyrolisks (Cockatrice Variants) | Monster for Dungeons & Dragons Fifth Edition

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 […]

Vrüniks (Chaos Steeds) | Monsters for Dungeons & Dragons Fifth Edition

The chaosmen have had a tenuous relationship with traditional mounts. Unless the chaosman has a slave to tend to his horse, chances are he will let it die from starvation, thirst, or exhaustion. Or just murder it. So thank the Gods of Chaos for the vrüniks. These fiendish steeds, while chaotic and inherently evil themselves, […]

Roggel Luntses | Monsters for Dungeons & Dragons Fifth Edition

The old speakers give it a name: roggel lunts. Old talk for “hidden one.” With a name, it has a body. And with a body, it can taste the edge of our spears. The beast is long. Easily five or six giantkin in length. A mouth filled with teeth the size of fingers. Brutal horns, […]
