## Acrynix

The enemy of nature, the acrynix is a dangerous beast that can secrete and spew acid. Due to this ability its presence destroys the natural habitat of many creatures, causing many monsters to relocate to civilized lands. With the mysterious ability to fly despite having no wings, this abomination is a dangerous threat that must be dealt with as soon as it appears. Its tactics involve staying at a distance, spewing acid and making fly-by attacks without leaving any openings.

The acrynix is special due to the fact only one is known to exist. It tends to wander but usually stays near wastelands.

Players can make an Intelligence (Arcana) check to glean information about this creature:
- ***DC 10:*** Its extremities glow green, dripping drops of acid.
- ***DC 15:*** It looks extremely fast.
- ***DC 20:*** Its mouth seems to be able to spew very corrosive acid.
- ***DC 25:*** Maybe if we ground or slow it, we'll have a chance.

>
> ***Bite.*** *Melee Weapon Attack:* +17 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. *Hit:* 27 (5d6 + 10) acid damage. Unless the target has resistance or immunity to acid damage, any armor it is wearing takes a cumulative -1 penalty to the AC it offers. Armor reduced to an AC of 10 is destroyed.

> 
> ***Wing Talons.*** *Melee Weapon Attack:* +17 to hit, reach 20 ft., one target. *Hit:* 23 (3d8 + 10) slashing damage.
> 
> ***Frightful Presence.*** Each creature of the acrynix's choice that is within 120 feet of the acrynix and aware of it must succeed on a DC 17 Wisdom saving throw or become frightened for 1 minute. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a creature's saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to the acrynix's Frightful Presence for the next 24 hours.
> 
> ***Acid Breath (Recharge 5–6).*** The acrynix uses one of the following abilities.
> 
> **Acid Bomb.** The acrynix fires a glob of acid at a point it can see within 60 feet of it. Each creature within 20 feet of that point must make a DC 20 Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 77 (22d6) acid damage and another 7 (2d6) acid damage at the end of its next turn. On a successful save, a creature takes half the initial damage and no damage at the end of its next turn.
> 
> **Acid Wave.** The acrynix fires a 5-foot-wide line of acid starting at a point it can see on the ground within 90 feet of it and ending at a point on the ground within 30 feet of the starting point. Each creature on the ground in that area must make a DC 20 Dexterity saving throw, taking 77 (22d6) acid damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. The area also becomes difficult terrain for the next 24 hours. For every 5 feet a creature moves through the area, the creature takes 3 (1d6) acid damage.
> 
>### Legendary Actions
> The acrynix can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action option can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature's turn. The acrynix regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn.
>
>  **Detect.** The acrynix makes a Wisdom (Perception) check.
>
> **Flight.** The acrynix flies up to half its flying speed.
> 
> **Acid Cloud. (Costs 3 Actions)** The acrynix exhales a cloud of acid. Each creature within 20 feet of it must make a DC 20 Constitution saving throw, taking 21 (6d6) acid damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

## Armalug

Strange and alien-like, armalugs wander the jungle in search for plants and fungus to digest to maintain itself. Highly corrosive, armalugs leave behind a tell-tale trail which can restrict and slowly dissolve things caught in it. armalugs are usually passive, although will defend themselves if threatened.

As an armalug moves around, it slowly loses its acidity due to its trail of slime. As such, it seeks food that can rebalance its acidity level. The Blood Lily is its favorite, as it defends itself from most herbivores with corrosive acid. Adventurers have been known to be attacked simply due to wearing red, or if they carry too much refined acid on their person.

In combat, an armalug uses its viscous exterior which sticks to anything it comes in contact with. As it takes damage, its exterior slowly closes the wound by redistributing the acid on itself. It spreads its slime over the battlefield in order to catch as many targets in it as possible and to increase its mobility.

Players can make an Intelligence (Nature) check to glean information about this creature:
- **DC 8**: This creature is really slow and doesn't seem hostile for the moment.
- **DC 15**: The trail it leaves behind seems to kill the jungle floor, it would be wise not to step in it.
- **DC 18**: You remember hearing about this creature's love for red flowers, maybe you should not wear red...

> ***Regeneration.*** The armalug regains 10 hit points at the start of its turn. If the armalug takes cold or necrotic damage, this trait doesn't function at the start of the armalug's next turn. The armalug dies only if it starts its turn with 0 hit points and doesn't regenerate.
>
> ***Slime Trail.*** When the armalug moves it leaves behind slime on any square it moves into, which remains for 24 hours. The slime is difficult terrain. When a creature enters the affected area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, the creature must succeed on a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw or take 4 (1d8) acid damage and be restrained. A creature that starts its turn in the area and is already restrained by the slime takes 4 (1d8) acid damage
>
> ***Sticky.*** A creature that touches the armalug or hits it with a melee attack must succeed on a DC 16 Strength saving throw or the weapon becomes stuck to the armalug. If the weapon's wielder can't or won't let go of the weapon, the wielder is grappled while the weapon is stuck. While stuck, the weapon can't be used. A creature can pull the weapon free by taking an action to make a DC 16 Strength check and succeeding.
>A creature restrained by the slime can use its action to make a DC 16 Strength or Dexterity check (its choice). On a success, it frees itself.
>
> ### Actions

> 
> ***Slam.*** *Melee Weapon Attack:* +9 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. *Hit:*  21 (3d10 + 5) bludgeoning damage.
>
> ***Slime Attacks (Recharge 6).*** The armalug uses one of the following abilities.
> 
> **Charged Slam.** The armalug slams down in a 20-feet-long, 10-foot-wide line, which then becomes covered in slime as described in the Slime Trail feature. Creatures in that area must make a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw. A target takes 27 (6d8) acid damage plus 32 (4d10 + 5) bludgeoning damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one.
>
> **Slime Bomb.** The armalug fires a glob of mucus in a 15-foot-radius sphere, which then becomes covered in slime as described in the Slime Trail feature, from a point within 50 feet. Each creature in that area must make a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw. A target takes 36 (8d8) acid damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. A creature who fails its save also takes 18 (4d8) acid damage at the end of its next turn.

## Bristler
While these may look to be normal cacti, they are in fact a plague that slowly creeps through the desert. Not particularly adept at combat, it prefers to attract travelers to it, as it is common knowledge that cacti contain water.

When a target is about to cut into it, to collect what they think is their salvation, they instead receive a spray of gas. Most people kill the bristler after this, but succumb to its poison a few hours later. From the corpse, many more of these bristlers are born with the sole purpose of finding more travelers to contaminate.

## Bulettes

### Magma Bulette
A cousin of the regular bulette, this particular type can burrow through solid rock. They have a natural immunity to fire and lava, and are more comfortable in very warm climates. At their adult size, they easily dwarf a normal bulette, and as such are able to swallow creatures whole.

Seeing one of these usually requires for one to be deep underground, near an active volcano or any other source of extreme heat.

Unlike their normal cousins, their youth has been spotted. Due to the fact that they rarely get visitors, it seems that adult magma bulettes are a bit more careless in protecting their children. Researchers have assumed they gauge that the lava provides enough protection.

As an adult has never been slain or found dead, their anatomy is a mystery. Adventurers have been contracted to find and kill a baby magma bulette, and to avoid its parents, but have never come back.

The younger ones are about the height of a pony, but are much bulkier and wider. At any size, they emit heat waves that can ignite things in close proximity to them.

>
> ***Tunneler.*** The bulette can burrow through solid rock at half its burrowing speed and leaves an 8-foot-wide, 12-foot-high tunnel in its wake.
> ### Actions
> ***Bite.*** *Melee Weapon Attack:* +13 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. *Hit:* 33 (4d12 + 7) piercing damage, plus 21 (6d6) fire damage. If the bulette rolls an 18-20 to hit, and the target is Medium or smaller, it is swallowed.
>
> <div style='margin-top:-10px'></div>
> 
>       A swallowed creature is blinded and restrained, it has total cover against attacks and other effects outside the bulette, and it takes 35 (10d6) fire damage at the start of each of the bulette's turns. 
> <div style='margin-top:-10px'></div>
> 
>      If the bulette takes 40 damage or more on a single turn from a creature inside it, the bulette must succeed on a DC 25 Constitution saving throw at the end of that turn or regurgitate all swallowed creatures, which fall prone in a space within 10 feet of the bulette. If the bulette dies, a swallowed creature is no longer restrained by it and can escape from the corpse by using 20 feet of movement, exiting prone. 
>
> ***Deadly Leap.*** If the bulette jumps at least 15 feet as part of its movement, it can then use this action to land on its feet in a space that contains one or more other creatures. Each of those creatures must succeed on a DC 16 Strength or Dexterity saving throw (target's choice) or be knocked prone and take 21 (4d6 + 7) bludgeoning damage plus 21 (4d6 + 7) slashing damage plus 14 (4d6) fire damage. On a successful save, the creature takes only half the damage, isn't knocked prone, and is pushed 5 feet out of the bulette's space into an unoccupied space of the creature's choice. If no unoccupied space is with in range, the creature instead falls prone in the bulette's space.

## Caustic Ants
Caustic ants are a species that form colonies in rocky formations of deserts. Aside from their massive size, they exhibit acidic properties that can kill a would-be predator quite easily. If any of them are killed, nearby ants are aware due to released pheromones, so you never kill just one, unless you die when the reinforcements arrive.

### Caustic Queen Ant
Queen ants are the founders of all colonies. Once mated, she can stay fertilized for many years laying millions of eggs. Some queens can lay thousands of eggs each day. They really are egg laying machines. They also tend to live about six times longer than any other ant type. Their acid is more potent than other ants.

> ##### Variant: Princess Ant & Drone Ant
> 
> A queen that has yet to be fertilized is called a Princess Ant, or a Virgin Queen. This type of ant gains a flying speed of 40 feet. Later, they clip their own wings and use them as a protein source to feed their new family.
>
> Drones are not like typical ants. They don’t do any work in their nests, and they look more like wasps than ants. This type of ant gains a flying speed of 60 feet. Their purpose is to mate, and they usually die in the time span of the mating season.

##### Sativa Indica
A cactus native to the desert, it is avoided by most locals. It contains hallucinogens which cause those who consume it to temporarily fall into a deranged mental state. For some reason, one thinks the juice is the greatest thing ever, and they have the urge to ask nonsensical questions.

Any creature who consumes it must succeed on a DC 20 Constitution saving throw or be subject to the above effect for 24 hours. During that time, you have disadvantage on ability checks and attack rolls.

## Devils

### Hellwasp Devils
Hellwasp devils are members of a huge colony that makes its home in the Garden of Delights in Malbolge. Ruthless and logical, with an alien intelligence and the unquestioning instincts of a colony insect, these devils live to serve the whims of their queen. Hellwasp devils were once demons akin to mezzodemons. While in the Abyss, Glasya defeated their master and took them back to the Nine Hells. There, she transformed them into devils, making them shock troops and bodyguards.

Since they unquestioningly follow the orders of Glasya, hellwasp devils can be found with any creature that serves the daughter of Asmodeus. On rare occasions, Glasya loans out groups of hellwasp devils to her allies.

Carnotaurus is further characterized by small, vestigial forelimbs and long and slender hindlimbs. Its tail is extremely wide.

It is one of the fastest dinosaurs, especially one of its size. What it has in speed, it lacks in maneuverability. Turning is not its strong suit, its whole body is stiffer than other dinosaurs. It has armored ridged spikes along its whole length.

### Compsognathus
Compsognathus is a small, bipedal animal with long hind legs and longer tails, which it uses for balance during locomotion. The forelimbs are smaller than the hindlimbs and featured three digits equipped with solid claws are suited for grasping prey. Its delicate skull is narrow and long, with tapered snouts.

It usually measures 3 feet in length and weighs around 5 pounds. Due to its small size, it hunts and scavenges in packs.

### Spinosaurus

This predator is a rare sight, having mostly been wiped out by tyragaroks. A few remain, keeping near bodies of water in order to play to their strengths. This dinosaur is semi-aquatic, as it is able to hold its breath for a while and swims without trouble. On the ground, it is vulnerable due to being slower than tyragaroks and has developed a fear of its nemesis. Nevertheless, this dinosaur is second on the food chain of the jungle.

### Tyragarok
With a massive hulking frame and an armored belly, this beast is a terrible sight to behold. Very few creatures are strong enough, let alone big enough, to pose a threat to it. With a massive jaw, bladed tail and immense strength, there is little place for someone to hide that the tyragarok can't break through.

Players can make an Intelligence (Nature) check to glean information about this creature:
- **DC 8**: A now well-known creature, it is commonly referred to as the king of the jungle.
- **DC 15**: It looks extremely strong.
- **DC 18**: It's big enough to easily swallow a person.
- **DC 20**: It’s back is poorly armored, if you can get behind or above it you should have the advantage.

## Diregran

A beast commonly found in mountainous regions. The Diregran is a quick and agile wyvern that will quickly grab prey off the ground and kill them in flight. Diregran are also covered in layers of sharp spines that will spike up when attempting to look threatening or enraged.

Diregran are able to fire volleys of spikes from its wings and tail to attack prey or predators from a distance. Its tail has been said to be poisonous.

Only when truly threatened does a diregran use its Waning Inferno, as a means of escape while its targets douse the flames on themselves.

## Dragons
### Stone Dragon
Not chromatic nor metallic, this dragon type may have stemmed from elemental powers. They are known for their strange ability to turn creatures to stone with their breath.
They possess a territorial temperament, attacking anything it sees as a treat to its dominance over  vast swaths of land.

>
> ***Petrifying Shriek (Recharge 6).*** The dragon emits a shriek of resonating sound waves in a 15-foot cone. Each creature in that area must succeed on a DC 12 Constitution saving throw. A creature that fails the save begins to turn to stone and is restrained. The restrained creature must repeat the saving throw at the end of its next turn, becoming petrified on a failure or ending the effect on a success. The petrification lasts until the creature is freed by the greater restoration spell or other magic.

When they hatch from their rocky eggs, stone dragons look akin to a quadrupedal gargoyle, but as they grow older their smooth stone hide turns rugged. Unlike most other dragons, their tough hide allows them to shrug off most weapons, and their stony nature allows them to burrow through solid rock. Their tail begins to grow a crystal, which on contact causes shockwaves.

***Rigid and Irascible.*** Stone dragons defend their territory at all costs and won't take mercy on anything it deems an intruder. Unless a trespasser shows undeferred submission, followed by an immediate exit of its territory, a stone dragon considers them a threat to be dealt with violently.

***Alpine Roamer.*** Either by air or underground, a stone dragon patrols its territory most of its life. It occasionally ventures outwards to seek a mate or treasure, which is usually in the form of raw ore and gems. It makes its lair at the highest peaks, and burrows downwards to create large caverns.

### A Stone Dragon's Lair
Stone dragons make their lairs atop mountain peaks, using their burrowing ability to carve out large caverns. Over time stalactites and stalagmites form, but the dragon usually clears out most stalagmites from the floor. The earth in the vicinity of its lair tends to shift around more than usual.

A stone dragon forms a tunnel somewhere in the lair that goes straight down for hundreds of feet, as both a means of escape and a way to funnel enemies that would invade its lair. This hole also serves as a place to throw petrified targets as means to get rid of them permanently.

#### Lair Actions
On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the dragon takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; the dragon can't use the same effect two rounds in a row:

* A stalactite falls from the ceiling above a creature that the dragon can see within 120 feet of it. The creature must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or take 10 (3d6) piercing damage and be knocked prone and pinned. The pinned target is restrained and unable to stand up. A creature can take an action to make a DC 10 Strength check, ending the pinned state on a success.

A creature made of inorganic material such as stone, crystal, or metal takes maximum thunder damage. The dragon can then fly up to half its flying speed. The dragon can't use this if earth or stone is not within 15 feet of it.

<div class='footnote'>DRAGONS</div>

\pagebreakNum

* A high-pitched sound emits from the dragon's tail. Any creature within 15 feet of it must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw, or have disadvantage on the next saving throw for the dragon's Petrifying Shriek.
* The ground collapses underneath a creature that the dragon can see within 120 feet of it. The creature must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or fall down a pit directly below it. The pit is 1d4 x 10 feet deep. On a success, the creature can use its reaction to move up to half its speed to avoid falling into the pit.

#### Regional Effects
The region containing a legendary stone dragon's lair is warped by the dragon's magic, which creates one or more of the following effects:
* A high-pitched whine can be heard within 6 miles of the lair.
* Given days or longer to work, the dragon can mold stone within its lair, forming structures and other objects as it wishes. 
* Rocky fissures within 3 miles of the dragon's lair form portals to the Elemental Plane of Earth, allowing creatures of elemental earth into the world to dwell nearby.

If the dragon dies, the fissures close immediately, and the high-pitched wine abates within 1d10
days.

## Drakes
Drakes are the result of lingering magic that has affected the countryside. Dragon eggs that were unprotected during a magical event mutated, stripping them of their wings. Some of them developed long manes which extend to their tails.

***Embodiments of their Ancestors.*** Different types of dragons were the origins of these creatures. They retain their rugged hide but lost any semblance of scales. Each of them adapted to their environments, with abilities that stem from their ancestry.

### Ember Drake
Unlike their cousins, this drake did not develop a thick mane, instead adapting to the harsh environment of the wastelands and volcanic areas. Originating from red dragons, this drake has retained the ability to use its inner fire to incinerate its enemies. It has mastered its use through its adaptation, able to form cylindrical walls of sustained flame.

Just like red dragons, these drakes are very arrogant, ferocious and impulsive.

### Frostbite Drake
Residents of the tundra, these drakes are descendants of silver dragons. Their color shifted to an ice-blue tone, great manes grew in place of their crests. It has adapted to its cold environment and is able to freeze its enemies solid with its breath.

Similar to silver dragons, these drakes are virtuous. They believe that morals are important, that good deeds should be part of a creature's life. They try to keep watch on the tundra as best they can, while avoiding the terrifying threat of ghaskragos.
### Toxin Drake
Just like frostbite drakes, these drakes also have thick manes that stretch out to their tails. It isn't quite clear why, although some theorize that it is merely for show, to intimidate their prey. These drakes descend from green dragons, although were subject to a few mutations. Large spikes grew from their bodies, their hide turned to purple with black streaks and extra claws on their paws.

These drakes have taken physical aspects from their green ancestry; however, their personalities don't stem from them. They have the cruel disposition and sadistic nature of black dragons. They thrive off the terror of their prey, toying with them to satisfy its vicious cravings.

Each creature in that area must make a DC 16 Constitution saving throw, taking 27 (6d8) cold damage on a failure, or half as much on a success. If a target failed its save, it begins to freeze and is restrained. It must repeat the saving throw at the end of its next turn. On a success or if the target has taken fire damage since the freezing started, the effect ends. On a failure, the creature is petrified until freed by the *greater restoration* spell or other magic. A creature petrified this way can also be thawed after 8 hours in direct sunlight.

### Feninor, the Inferno's Swell
Resident of the Plane of Fire, Feninor is an elemental force to be reckoned with. It wanders over the Sea of Fire, and is generally avoided by efreet and azers.

When the Ferris comet is visible in the sky, almost every 400 years, its powers summons Feninor from its home plane and temporarily places it on land in the Material Plane. For 27 hours, the comet is close enough to maintain this effect, during which time Feninor consumes all it can reach. Once the time has passed, it returns to its plane and waits for its next chance.

While not inherently evil, the comet alters its personality for that period of time. Its only needs then are to consume as much as possible in the time it has. The last time it came to the Material Plane, evacuations were quickly made in order to reduce the death toll, but the fact the location it appears in changes makes this process hit or miss.

### Floe Manta
This strange creature resembles a manta ray, and is native to the Frostfell. They tend to roam the Elemental Plane of Water, not straying too far from the cold harshness of the Plane of Ice.

Occasionally, one will find its way into the Material Plane. It roams around, looking for prey to turn to ice and then consume. That is the only way it can maintain its temperature, and as such it has no quandaries ending the life of anything sentient.

While its sting is not particularly harmful, it brings with it the cold of the Frostfell. A creature pierced by it finds its limbs freezing over. When the manta is done freezing its entire body, it then proceeds to consume it.

> ##### Notes
> This elemental assumes it is going against bipedal creatures, namely player characters. As such, if a PC does not have all its limbs, ignore and repeat a roll that would fall on a non-existing limb.
>
> A creature fully submerged in water has resistance to fire damage, which would cancel out the Floe Manta's vulnerability. As such, it is not calculated in CR as it is assumed the manta will be submerged at all times.

### Magnetic Elemental
Made of unknown material, a magnetic elemental pulses erratically, pushing and pulling its surroundings. Rumors say they come from meteors when they fall through storms. The body consists mostly of the material, with thick and stumpy limbs. When needed its limbs separate, held together by magnetic force, only to join back together. Its head is the peak of the torso, a shard of energy peeking out which indicates its mood.

Able to push and pull metal from a distance, this elemental uses its magnetic abilities to its fullest. When one hunts one of these, it is best to leave your sword at home.

If the object is being worn or carried by a creature, the creature can make a Strength (Athletics) check contested by the elemental's. On a failure, the creature drops the object if it can, and the object moves as described below. If it can’t drop the object, the creature is considered part of the object for the effect described below. The elemental decides whether to push or pull the object.
> <div style='margin-top:-5px'></div>
> 
>       If the elemental decides to **push**, the object flies in a straight line up to 60 feet away from the elemental before falling to the ground, stopping early if it impacts against a solid surface. If the object would strike a creature, that creature must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the object strikes the target and stops moving. When the object strikes something, the object and what it strikes each take 13 (3d8) bludgeoning damage.
> <div style='margin-top:-5px'></div>
> 
>       If the elemental decides to **pull**, the object flies in a straight line towards it. Any creatures in the object's path must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or take 9 (2d8) bludgeoning damage. When the object reaches the elemental, it takes 9 (2d8) bludgeoning damage and is grappled (escape DC 15). While grappled this way, a creature is restrained.

## Fliezund

A large nomadic carnivorous plant, the fliezund stores up water in its body via its legs and travels the land in search of food. Should its water level get low, it plants itself in the ground and stores up more water, so it may resume its travels. Fliezunds tend to stay in damper climates, to be sure to have access to sufficient amounts of water.

Rather slow, the fliezund relies on its long legs to reach for enemies that attempt to stay far from it. It occasionally moves in bursts of speed in a straight line. With some effort it can also send the ground in front of it flying by burrowing its legs into the earth and heaving upwards. The fliezund also has a very acidic stomach which it can use as a defense mechanism by shooting acid upwards, letting it fall on nearby enemies.

It can quickly grab any food in front of it, put it into its mouth right into its stomach. Once it has absorbed everything it needs, it spits the remains back out. Anything it eats can be seen floating in it as it is digested.

Players can make an Intelligence (Nature) check to glean information about this creature:
- ***DC 10:*** It seems slow, but something tells you it can move if needed.
- ***DC 15:*** It seems to contain a lot of water, fire might not be as effective as you might think against this plant.
- ***DC 20:*** You can see into its stomach, it seems acidic.

>
>  ***Frantic Backlash (Recharge 5–6).*** The fliezund uses one of the following abilities.
>
> **Acid Rain.** The fliezund spews a stream of acid upwards, which rains down in a 30-foot-radius, 40-foot-high cylinder centered on itself. Creatures in the area must make a DC 18 Dexterity saving throw. A target takes 45 (10d8) acid damage on a failure, or half as much on a success.
>
> **Earth Rupture.** The fliezund rips the ground in a 20-foot cube in front of itself. Targets in the area must make a DC 19 Dexterity saving throw, taking 49 (14d6) bludgeoning damage on a failure, or half as much on a success. Targets in a 20-foot cube behind the first cube can also make a DC 19 Dexterity saving throw, taking half damage on a failure from the flying earth, or a quarter as much on a success. Regardless of the save, targets in the first cube are thrown 20 feet away from the fliezund and are knocked prone.

## Freybug
A freybug takes the form of a monstrous black dog that patrols the country lanes at night terrifying late travelers and makes them flee in horror. It also targets anyone who wanders the street drunk more nights than not, probably due to deductions that they would not be missed much.

While a freybug is rare, they are extremely hard to kill and tend to come back shortly after its passing. As such most people are discouraged at pursuing them for revenge, as that feeling will be short-lived.

**Eternal** While these can seemingly not be killed by violence, every couple centuries a body of one is found, ripped apart from the inside. Weeks later, reports of a smaller-sized freybug terrorizing the streets of a nearby town appear.

**Rare Variation.** While the most common, if common can be used to describe this creature, color is of a red-ish color, one out of every 10 freybug is of a blue tint, along with the flames that it can exhale from its mouth. There is much speculation if these types of freybug are actually different, but no one has been able to keep an eye on either type for longer than a few minutes.

## The Frozen
The ruler of a city in the north had a calm life. His rule was quiet, as no one bothered him and his citizens in the cold expanse they called home.  For unknown reasons, the temperature decreased dramatically. What was relatively comfortable cold became endless blizzards and treacherous conditions. Over time, the entire population of the city froze over. The last person left was the ruler himself and his two royal guards, who had barricaded themselves into a room full of everlasting fire.

Unable to leave, they sought help from anything that would grant them aid, Orcus answered. In exchange for their eternal servitude, he would grant them immunity to the cold, along with a power to revive their people. Foolishly, they accepted.

The barricaded door blew open, the cold air rushed in. The three were instantly frozen over, but retained consciousness. Their flesh became as brittle as glass, their limbs were covered in thick ice. Their bodies merged, forming a hulking beast which spread its corruption throughout the tundra.

### Frozen Monarch
Standing on two feet, this abomination carries a large chain around its waist, has three heads, and large, icy claws. It then travelled throughout the city, animating every single citizen into skeletons comprising mostly of ice.

The stronger the humanoid it kills, the stronger the frozen it becomes. Some of them even grow wings made of ice, somehow able to give them flight.

Now they roam the tundra in search of more humanoids, dead or alive, to join their ranks. The warmth of the south renders them unable to leave its cold expanse.

Their armies tend to ignore wildlife, as they have no use for them, and even occasionally attract humanoids that wish to hunt them. They distinctly avoid any territories belonging to gashkragos, as unlike most wildlife they kill anything that wanders too close to their lairs. Otherwise, they roam aimlessly, as the monarch does in his city.

## Ghaskrago
Due to their high body temperature, the ghaskrago can be found at the top of the the tallest mountains to maintain the body temperature. They sleep for incredibly long periods of time buried in the ground, long enough that they become encased in ice. Ghaskrago are rather rare and very territorial.

A ghaskrago's temperature will increase with strenuous activity, increasingly exposing its weak points as well as its speed. The ghaskrago is aware of its limits, therefore will be very aggressive to keep any fight short. Should a ghaskrago fight for too long, it will flee unless escape is impossible. If it chooses to fight till the end, it will try to take down as many opponents as it can.

Fire and cold  deals no damage but add or remove points respectively for every 10 damage it would normally deal. The ghaskrago gains 1 point of temperature at the end of each round of activity and loses 1 point if it does no actions while in a freezing environment. It also loses 3 points when it uses a breath weapon.

- ***DC 9:*** It seems incredibly aggressive, if you want to run do it before it sees you.
- ***DC 13:*** It's got a tough outer shell made of ice, if only it was thinner...
- ***DC 20:*** It seems to have a fire burning inside of it, which the ice is containing. Melting the ice could be dangerous.

## Giants
The giants presented here are more powerful than others of their kind, because their gods have shown them favor.

### Frost Giant Shaman
Blessed by Thrym, the god of frost giants, a shaman finds himself grown in size, with sharp icy claws and magic similar to that of a cleric's. A shaman can cast from the conjuration, divination, evocation schools.

### Frost Giant Witch Doctor
Similar to a shaman, frost giant witch doctors are <br> larger than their normal counterparts,  however <br>are granted the arcane abilities. They prefer <br>spells that can bewilder and confound <br>other giants, but exceptions exist.

Witch doctors are sometimes the head <br>of small groups of frost giants, significantly <br>improving the intellect of the unit they are a part of. If a shaman is also present, such a group of giants can terrorize a countryside at their leisure.

## Karapaks
A beast that could be compared to a dinosaur, it however has a calcium exoskeleton tightly encasing its body. It is commonly believed they are born without it, and that it grows over time. Its elongated head, sharp teeth, and crimson eyes keep away most potential predators. Their back is ridged with large spikes, their tail is pronged and pointed. They have four slender arms, each with two long claws, that are more for eating than hunting. Large talons adorn their legs, and white, plate-like armor down their entire length.

> ***Unnerving Screech (Recharge 6).***  Each creature of the karapaks's choice that is within 60 feet of the karapaks and aware of it must succeed on a DC 14 Wisdom saving throw or become frightened for 1 minute. While frightened in this way, a creature is unable to speak, and its speed becomes 0. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a creature's saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to the karapaks's Unnerving Screech for the next 24 hours.

## Kuo-Toa
### Kuo-Toa Deity Template
Kuo-toa have the power to create beings of power with worship. Their collective subconscious is able to give shape to creatures with abnormal abilities. These can be based off anything, usually when a tribe of kuo-toa find a statue to their liking. Sometimes, a particularly cunning creature will have a statue raised in their likeness, in order to place it in a tribe's path. By doing so, with a bit of enchanting, they can assure that the kuo-toas' worship is directed to them to increase their powers.

The abilities a tribe of kuo-toa grant are solely based on the amount that worship the statue. The stronger the kuo-toa, the more power it can grant. If a tribe or part of a tribe of kuo-toa is slain or otherwise stop worshipping the statue, the powers granted fade after 1d4 days.

| Kuo-Toa | Power Granted |
|:----|:-------------:|
| Normal  | 2 |
| Whip  | 8 |

| Kuo-Toa | Power Granted |

#### Features

***Aura.*** A creature takes damage (DM's choice of type and amount) either:
- "At the start of each of the empowered's turn, each creature within 5 feet, ..."
- "If a creature starts its turn within 5 feet of the empowered, ..."

***Damaging Body.*** A creature that touches the empowered or hits it with a melee attack while within 5 feet of it takes damage (DM's choice of type and amount). An example of this is on page 266 of the *Monster's Manual*, this feature has different names across monsters to fit their theme.

***General Buff.*** This can be a buff to AC, number of hit dice, proficiency in a saving throw, or an ability in particular. As such, this can have varying impacts on CR. This is recommended only if you have decent knowledge of how to build a monster. As far as costs, whatever you feel appropriate based on what you give the monster, use the Costs table as a guide.

***Legendary Resistance.*** Each per day use increases the empowered's effective hit points, based off CR:
- **CR 1-4:** 10 hp
- **CR 5-10:** 20 hp
- **CR 11+ :** 30 hp

***Legendary Actions.*** You can grant any number of actions to be spent per round (usually 3). Usual categories would be:
- **Attack.** Increase DPR as if it made that attack equal to the amount of times it uses this LA per round.
- **Detect.** The empowered makes a Wisdom (Perception) check.
- **Mobility.** The empowered moves up to half its speed without provoking opportunity attacks.
- **Mobility + Damage.** Each creature within a number of feet (5 to 15) feet of the empowered must succeed on a saving throw or takes damage and be knocked prone. The empowered can then move up to half its movement speed. Increase DPR by the amount of times it uses this LA per round. Usually this has a cost of 2 LAs.

Other good examples of Legendary Actions would be (the CR implications here are usually more complicated):
- Demilich (MM p.48)
- Kraken (MM p.197)
- Lich (MM p.202)
- Mummy Lord (MM p.229)
- Unicorn (MM p.294)
- Vampire (MM p.297)
- Storm Giant Quintessent (Volo's p.151)
- Alhoon (Volo's p.172)
- Elder Brain (Volo's p.174)

***Multiattack.*** The creature gains an additional attack per turn. This feature can be taken multiple times, but the cost triples every time (30 becomes 90 becomes 270, etc...)

##### Note
The "power granted" per type of kuo-toa is of course a suggestion, along with the costs for each feature.

\pagebreakNum

#### Example Empowered Creature
In this example, a medusa (MM p.214) has secured the worship of a tribe of kuo-toa comprising of:
- 40 Kuo-Toa
- 11 Kuo-Toa Whip
- 3 Kuo-Toa Monitor
- 1 Kuo-Toa Archpriest

Which grants it a total of 288 Power.

## Lernaean Hydra
A creature of legendary might and resilience, this type of hydra is feared by all. Its heads were capable of growing back in doubles if cut off, and each of them posed an equal threat. Defeating one of these rare beasts was a feat that was almost unheard of, as even full companies of men died by its maws.

One of these destroyed the temple of Paladine, and was tracked by an earth genasi named Stonemeld. According to legend, he was able to pick at the hydra over a span of two days until its heads no longer grew back. This is the one and only story with some veracity about a lernaean hydra that was slain.

> ***Hold Breath.*** The hydra can hold its breath for 4 hours.
>
> ***Legendary Resistance (3/Day).*** If the hydra fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead.
>
> ***Multiple Heads.*** The hydra has a number of heads equal to its number of hit point pools. While it has more than one head, the hydra has advantage on saving throws against being blinded, charmed, deafened, frightened, stunned, and knocked unconscious. If all of its heads are dead at the start of its turn, the hydra dies.
>
> ***Paragon Actions.*** Roll initiative once for each hit point pool with more than 0 hit points at the start of each combat. Each hit point pool represents a head of the hydra and each gets its own full turn and reaction. A head that spawns from another shares the spawner's initiative and movement.
>
>   The hydra's Poison Breath recharge is rolled at the start of a round, and a single head using it will trigger the cooldown.
>
> ***Paragon Hit Points.*** The learnaean hydra's 5 heads each have their own pool of 64 hit points. Each pool must be targeted individually by attacks and other effects. Whenever a head is reduced to 0 hp, it grows two smaller heads, each with a pool of hit points equal to 1/4 of the hit points of the originating head. This trait doesn't function if a pool was reduced to 0 hit points with fire damage or if the smaller heads would come back with 1 hit point.
>
> ***Paragon Resilience.*** When the hydra is struck by an area of effect such as *fireball*, or an attack targeting its body, the total damage is divided equally among its hit point pools. If there is any remainder, one damage is applied to each head until there is no more remainder. When a single-target spell with a condition is used against this creature only one head is affected, and spells with multiple chosen targets treats a head as its own creature.
>
> ***Wakeful.*** While the hydra sleeps, at least one of its heads is awake.
>
> ### Actions
> 
> ***Bite*** *Melee Weapon Attack:* +12 to hit, reach 20 ft., one target. *Hit:* 16 (2d10 + 5) piercing damage.
>
> ***Poison Breath (Recharge 6).*** The hydra head inhales and each other head can use its reaction to join in, then the hydra exhales poisonous gas in a 60-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 20 Constitution saving throw, taking 3 (1d6) poison damage for each head that joined in the breath on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

This page is for tracking the health of the pools of the hydra. Start at the right of each row and when a pool dies from anything but fire damage, cross it out and write the maximum health for 2 unused pools to the right. Each active pool counts as a head. If a pool is killed by fire damage, cross out pools that it would have created, along with any they would have created.

## Manticores
### Manticore Alpha
Once in a while, a manticore will grow up to be much stronger than its peers. Such a manticore takes up the mantle of alpha, leading packs of its own to defeat larger or more dangerous foes.

## Mimics
### Fountain Mimic
A much larger mimic, this type passes itself off as containers of water, with fountains being the most common shape. The water it contains is actually acid, and when an unfortunate soul approaches it, it engulfs it and closes itself around it, digesting that creature alive.

## Oozes
### Boiling Ooze
Residents of the desert, these ooze specialize in ambushing unwitting prey. Being slow on land, but able to burrow quickly through sand, their preferred method is to stay under the dunes until they are directly underneath their target. Their bodies are liquid, and are extremely sensitive to temperature changes.

When it manages to engulf a creature, it simply waits for the sun and heat to do its work. The ooze quickly boils, which it has become accustomed to. The prey however suffers the horrible feeling of being cooked alive.
### Electric Grime
A spawn of spark sludges, these little globs stay in packs to help conduct the electrical discharges their parents produce.
### Spark Sludge
A freak even amongst the oozes, the spark sludge is different in many ways. Like some oozes, it can produce smaller versions of itself, however this ooze does so passively, not reducing its own size in the process. It can maintain a few of its smaller selves, which serve as conduits for its electrical power.

It conducts electricity, and has no other way to discharge it except through its smaller selves.

### Swamp Sludge
This variety of ooze closely resembles mud, and as such lives in the swamp bed. It can digest what organic material is present there, extracting what it needs to breathe from it. It then holds in concentrated, poisonous fumes created from process to release at a later time.

It preys upon creatures that pass through its territory, following it while releasing these fumes. When the creature is subjected to these for a time, it will suffocate and die, leaving the sludge to digest its corpse. It only uses brute force as a last result, preferring to wait until any nearby foes are gone or dead before it surfaces.

## Rayer
This type of abomination is a creation of mind flayer experiment which consisted of a chameleon and a tadpole-like young of mind flayers. After discovering what happens if a tadpole is left to mature without the process of ceremorphosis, mind flayers looked to other avenues than killing them. Their first successful experiment was with a chameleon. What emerged retained the camouflage ability of its host, along with the capacity to jump extremely far.

A rayer resembles a chameleon with bulbous protrusions on its back, although the most significant difference is its head. Its eyeless head consists of a gaping maw surrounded by razor sharp tendrils. Within, it keeps an extremely long tongue.

Its favorite method of hunting involves staying near areas that are frequented by creatures and prowling in the trees to wait for an unsuspecting prey. It then leaps onto its prey's face and latches on. After an initial moment of fear, the prey can feel the rayer's long barbed tongue enter its body, tearing its vital organs to shreds.

## Ra'zac
The ra'zac were a race that fed on humans and likely came from the same homelands. Ra'zacs' breath have the power to paralyze humans in a dream-like state, however, it barely clouds the minds of dwarves and is ineffective against elves altogether.

The ra'zac almost extinct due to attempts to eradicate them. They are used by kings and nobles for nefarious purposes, and have no quandary in such matters.

***Life Cycle.*** When a ra'zac is hatched, it is referred to as a *pupa* or a *crazorac*. It develops a roughly human exoskeleton, allowing it to remain somewhat inconspicuous in the company of its favorite prey, humans. During the pupae stage, they wear black cloaks to help hide their true form. In this stage, ra'zac feed exclusively on human beings, but upon maturing will kill and eat anything that moves.

When the pupae reaches the first full moon of its twentieth year, it sheds its exoskeleton, spread its wings that have developed from a bulge on its back, emerging as a fully grown *lethrblaka*, said to resemble a type of monstrous dark dragon. The lethrblaka serve as flying mounts used by the ra'zac. The lethrblaka then reproduce oviparously, by laying eggs, renewing their cycle of life.

Lethrblaka have the intelligence of a dragon, but they are much more intelligent than the younger ra'zac and can give out ear-splitting shrieks that most are not able to stand.

***Master Assassins and Spies.***
The ra'zac use bows and arrows usually coated in Seithr Oil. They also use ancient leaf-bladed swords which they cover with either Seithr Oil or another poison of choice. The ra'zac are cunning and cruel, but rather narrow-minded. They are capable of conscious thought and consideration, but are not as intelligent as humans, dwarves, elves, or dragons.

***Creatures of the Night and Land.***
Their eyes are so sensitive to brightness, strong light pains them, though it is not fatal and doesn't stop a ra'zac if they are determined. Ra'zac aren't able to swim, possibly because of their exoskeleton, as a result they have a morbid fear of deep water and thus keep away from it. Their favorite meal is human flesh. The ra'zac speak in their own language of sharp clicks, clacks, clucks, shrieks, chirps and other bird-like sounds. None of this language is translated and the calls are unintelligible and even unpronounceable to all but the ra'zac.

On a failed save, a creature takes 44 (8d10) thunder damage and is knocked prone. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage and isn't knocked prone. A deafened target has resistance to the damage.

Every hour while poisoned, a creature takes 2 (1d4) necrotic damage and its hit point maximum is reduced by the same amount. If the poison reduces the target's  hit point maximum to 0, the target dies. This damage ignores resistance and immunity.
> - **Witchbane Poison:** The target must make a DC 17 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, it loses 1d4 of its lowest-level unexpended spell slots. This effect ignores all magical effects that grant immunity to poison.

#### Seithr Oil (Injury or Contact)
Seithr oil is a liquid substance taken from the petals of the Seithr plant, which grows on a small island in the frigid northern seas. The oil is normally harmless and mainly used for preserving pearls, but with a sacrificial ritual, it becomes a deadly, caustic poison called Modified Seithr Oil. This modified version has no effect on anything inorganic.

- **Acquisition:** This poison is made from a plant from the northern seas, which is then modifier with an incantation and a sacrifice. The first entry on a line below refers to the Unmodified version, the second the Modified version.
- **Market Value:** 1000gp / 5000gp
- **Legality:** Legal / Illegal
- **Modification DC:** None, see above
- **Medicine DC:** None
- **Saving Throw DC:** None / 18
- **Effect:** A creature other than an undead or construct subjected to this oil must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or be poisoned. Every hour while poisoned, a creature takes 1d4 necrotic damage and its maximum hit points are reduced by the same amount. If the poison reduces the target's  hit point maximum to 0, the target dies. This damage ignores resistance and immunity.

## Skeleton

### Cuchan
These undead are created from the corpses of fallen monks. Their Ki is corrupted, allowing them to deal necromantic damage with their strikes. They retain their known Ki-based attacks, which are now powered by the magic that animates them. They are also uncannily good at dodging blows, and gain all the benefits as well as the faults other skeleton-like creatures possess.

The ritual to raise such a creature is vile. First off, a fresh corpse of a dead monk must be acquired. Next, a dragonborn is sacrificed over the dead monk, at the same time as a giant lizard, while uttering a dark incantation. What emerges is a bipedal skeleton with a crested skull, a long-jointed tail, and an exposed ribcage with the skillset of a monk.

### Skeleton Template
Any creature with a bone structure can be turned into a skeleton. The creature loses any traits that relate to mental abilities (Intelligence, Wisdom, Charisma) such as Saving Throws, Skills, and anything other traits which use those abilities. It loses all immunities and resistances due to the loss of its flesh and mind. It also loses the non-physical aspect of abilities which rely on organs such as a dragon's bite elemental damage, a dragon's breath weapon or a purple worm's stinger attack's poison.

***Type.*** The creature's type changes to undead, and it no longer requires air, food, drink, or sleep.

***Alignment.*** The creature's alignment changes to lawful evil.

***Armor Class.*** If a creature has natural armor, it is reduced by 2, to a minimum of 10 + Dexterity modifier.

***Ability Scores.*** The creature's ability scores change as follows:
- Constitution becomes 15 (potentially changing Hit Points)
- Intelligence becomes 6 unless it was originally lower
- Wisdom becomes 8 unless it was originally lower
- Charisma becomes 5 unless it was originally lower

***Damage Vulnerabilities.*** The creature has vulnerability to bludgeoning damage.

***Damage Immunities.*** The creature has immunity to poison damage.

***Condition Immunities.*** The creature has immunity to the exhaustion and poisoned conditions.

***Senses.*** The creature gains darkvision to a range of 60 feet, unless it had Superior Darkvision which it would retain. It loses all sources of blindsight and truesight.

***Languages.*** The creature loses the ability to speak, and is only able to understand the languages of which it spoke in life.

***Legendary Resistances.*** The creature loses its Legendary Resistances.

***Legendary Actions.*** The creature loses its Legendary Actions.

Of course, specific skeletons might have special abilities or statistics, to the DM's discretion.

## Snare
A terror that resides in desert canyons, the snare has a wider territory than most spider-like creatures. It tends to web multiple caves in the cliffsides, while hunting prey in the open dunes. It returns to check on a canyon every so often when it is hungry.

With its eight limbs, the snare is able to go <br> into a full sprint, reaching tremendous<br> speeds. Its front four limbs can be used as <br>legs with two-pronged appendages at the<br> end, or can be turned into sharp spikes the <br>snare impales its prey with.

A terrifying sight to behold, a snare <br>possesses legs reminiscent of a flightless<br> bird's, along with a monstrous amalgam body <br>between a spider and an anglerfish. It has <br>sensors on its head to detect wind current changes, <br>and its legs are able to discern vibrations through<br> the ground.

Snares are hated by communities, and as <br>such are hunted as soon as one is spotted. <br>While this does lead to many would-be hunters <br>to perish, the loss of life is far lesser than <br>letting it run amok. Slaying one of these is a <br>great boon to the hunter and generally earns him <br>or her fame throughout the area.

## Umber Hulks
One new type of the terrifying umber hulks appears here, joining the regular umber hulk in the *Monster Manual*.
### Umber Hulk Prime
A monstrosity even compared to other umber hulks, these originated from mind flayer experiments. These are created by injecting a serum that amplifies its size and abilities. From then on, the umber hulk can breed and pass down this mutation.

Their use was meant to be as guardians of mind flayer territory, to be kept at the borders and bring back anyone it could capture. Some of the side effects of the serum included giving the umber hulks the ability to converse, albeit in a limited fashion, with their mind flayer creators.

Ones created by mind flayers remain under their <br>control, however their children do <br>not seem to be under the same <br>command. These roam the <br>Underdark in search of their <br> own territories to assert.

Their mutation has allowed<br>  them to emit sound waves<br>  from their mandibles that <br> can pierce into someone's <br> mind. In rare cases, one will <br> emit waves that can turn even the <br> most intelligent of men into a <br> fumbling idiot while the prime <br> wreaks havoc.

> <div style='margin-top:-10px'></div>

>     On a failed saving throw, the creature can't take reactions until the start of its next turn and rolls a d8 to determine what it does during that turn. On a 1 to 4, the creature does nothing. On a 5 or 6, the creature takes no action but uses all its movement to move in a random direction. On a 1 or 8, the creature makes one melee attack against a random creature, or it does nothing if no creature is within reach.

## Wight

### Five-Lived Wight
These wights have been modified with living souls residing in gemstones on its armor. They have the uncanny ability to come back from life as long as they have these gemstones, all the while becoming harder to kill.

One of these wights is truly slain upon the destruction of its last gemstone. Removing the gemstones from the armor intact is impossible as they are magically embedded into their chestpiece.

### Wight Knight
Far from white knights, these wight have been elevated to a higher position due to their strength and ability to lead subordinates into battle. They have superior swordsmanship and greatly enjoy seeing the frustration in their enemies' eyes after one too many ripostes.

They adorn themselves in plate armor and shields, using these defenses to be the undead standard on the battlefield. They use their elevated rank to bolster the attack of other undead.

### Wight Marksman
These wights have been trained to pick targets from afar. They possess the skill of infusing their draining ability into their ammunition, using distance and height to their advantage.

Usually found on high <br> perches or even on skeletal <br>dragonback, these wights <br>try to stay out of range of <br>their enemies, relying on <br>the meat shields that are its <br>zombies to keep their prey <br>distracted while it picks <br>them off one by one.

## Wild Bigby's Hand
A magical anomaly, created and altered by wild magic, it gains sentience and independence. As such, its caster is no longer able to control it, as the winds of magic themselves are the source of its newfound freedom.

As such, the hand is able to come back into existence even if targeted by antimagic measures, although those methods are usually effective at temporarily disabling it.

## Yugoloth

### Canoloth

Canoloths are specialized yugoloths who serve as scouts, skirmishers and trackers. They are not common, but a few are always a great addition to any yugoloth mercenary company. Their lack of intelligence made the canoloths the most loyal of their race.

Canoloths resemble great semi-insectile mastiffs, their body covered with chitin armor. Their mouth is made from both a horizontal and vertical set of teeth and a barbed tongue lolls out from the creature's mouth. It has no eyes; it relies on smell and hearing.

Some spells of binding and entrapment use canoloth tongue as a reagent.

The target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the paralyzing effect on itself on a success.

### Dergholoth
Standing nearly ten feet tall atop an awkward tripod of legs and covered in a mottle gray-green hide, this fiend's thickly muscled torso is ringed by arms that brandish a motley assortment of weapons and claws. When it senses something, it slows, and without turning swivels its head a full three hundred and sixty degrees, revealing a face that is both reptilian and mantis-like. This strange visage has faceted eyes burning like coals while its mandibles chatter incoherently.

Dergholoths are not subtle creatures, and against smaller foes, they prefer to simply wade into melee, getting in close to use their claws or any weapons they wield. Being surrounded poses little problem given their number of arms and all-around vision, but when pressed they may resort to using their chatter ability.

In their native plane of Gehenna, any dergholoth given control of lesser yugoloth will first press them abusively into combat rather than risking itself. Only if its subordinates seem overwhelmed will it then enter the fight. On the Material Plane, like most yugoloth, they have little self-preservation, as they can't be destroyed there.

While dergholoths may have no personal appreciation for treasure, they recognize its value to others and make a habit of collecting and swallowing small baubles that they happen to scavenge. Later, when seeking to forestall punishment or simply trying to impress one of their overseers, dergholoths regurgitate portions of their scavenged wealth. This habit sometimes leads their betters to simply cut them open and extract it all.

Each creature within 30 feet of it that isn't a yugoloth must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or take 22 (4d10) thunder damage and be stunned until the end of its next turn.

\columnbreak

### Echinoloth
These fiends combine features of a starfish and squid into an unlovely whole. This fiend possesses 6 long, barbed tentacles, no eyes, a gaping maw and two feet for its land travels.

Echinoloth serve in the rear echelons of the yugoloth armies. In conjunction with the arcanaloth they make sure that the front-line soldiers are supplied and equipped for battle.

While not part of an army, these fiends serve as the brutes of underwater squadrons for the yugoloth. Along with piscoloth, they allow to spread terror to the depths.

In a fight, an echinoloth grabs onto several enemies with its tentacles, forcing them to stay near it. A stench surrounds the fiend, forcing the weak of heart to throw up and lose their breath.

### Gacholoth
Gacholoths are the infiltrators and terrorists of the Blood War, using their abilities to cause havoc and spread panic behind enemy lines. They spend months, years, even centuries serving their temporary masters' armies with apparently unquestionable loyalty. In reality, they secretly wait for the best moment to reveal their true allegiance and begin their reign of slaughter and terror.

Gacholoths are truly terrifying in battle. Their four legs enable them to move with blinding speed on any surface, climbing walls and ceilings without hindrance. They can fight from any angle, even hanging upside down. As a consequence of this speed and maneuverability, gacholoths tend to act quickly when the need arises. Gacholoths strike swiftly and savagely before their victims can react, then immediately withdraw from combat to hide until another opening presents itself.

The gacholoths' fondness for deceit and terror make them the favored troops in yugoloth conflicts, and many have risen to minor positions of power as a result.

Gacholoths have a roughly humanoid appearance, their bodies as black as the hells from which they come. They have four long and powerful legs, each tipped with three sharp claws to aid in climbing. Their well-muscled torsos have two arms, each ending in four fingers tipped with savage, retractable claws. Their heads resemble those of monstrous sahuagin, with long fangs and cold, inhuman eyes.

### Piscoloth
Sergeants and overseers of the yugoloth armies, piscoloths hold dictatorial sway over companies of lesser yugoloths.

The fish-tailed, walleyed piscoloth has the red, chitinous body of a lobster, the talons of a bird, and the head of a carrion crawler. The piscoloth’s arms, though humanoid, end in a set of crablike pincers.

Cruel, hateful bullies, piscoloths keep order in the yugoloth armies—a task well suited to their petty and tyrannical demeanor.

### Skeroloth

Spies, thieves, infiltrators, and wretched scum, the skeroloths are the dregs of the yugoloth armies. They serve because they must, fawning over the nearest powerful yugoloth and betraying former masters whenever given a glimpse of richer rewards. Skeroloths are quick to attack those they think weak, and even quicker to cry out for mercy when threatened by more powerful foes.

The insectoid skeroloth has six legs and moves about equally well on two, four, or all six of its limbs. The pale red-gray skin of a skeroloth fades to a milky white whenever the creature is frightened, which is nearly all the time.

Other yugoloths regard skeroloths as weak and worthless. Although they are driven into battle ahead of more formidable fighting units, no one really thinks of the wretches as a real fighting force. Skeroloths are at their most useful as spies, and they are often sent on scouting missions.

Hiding and ambushing is about all skeroloths know of fighting. Often herded into battle by more powerful yugoloths, skeroloths are unreliable combatants unless it appears they have the upper hand. When they encounter creatures weaker than themselves, groups of skeroloths swarm over them, dragging down larger foes with sheer numbers.

### Voor
Voors have ravenous appetites for flesh and even greater appetites for blood; the legacy of cruelty and murder they leave behind makes this obvious to those who have witnessed their rampages. Periodically a voor may spawn broods: it takes five years for a juvenile voor to reach maturity, after which it is ready for guard duty. For a long time, the voor will stick close to the voor that spawned it, learning techniques for guarding an area and capturing prey.

Voors serve more powerful fiends because they're tough and dangerous enough to be effective, yet dim-witted enough to take orders without question. The voor is incredibly patient, as it can be content to sit and guard an area for weeks, waiting patiently for the opportunity to cause destruction and havoc.

Due to its simple intellect, a voor can only comprehend simple commands like "Guard this area" or "Permit only humans who say 'Orcus' to pass"—anything more complicated is simply lost to them. Unless told otherwise, the voor will pursue and destroy lesser fiends who enter the area it guards. The unfortunates that fall will have their corpses laid out as a warning to other trespassers.

Though the voor is more subservient than most fiends, it still delights in the bullying of lesser creatures. Perhaps this is a way to express their bloodlust.

>
> ***Phase (Recharges after a Short or Long Rest).*** The wolf magically creates three illusory duplicates of itself and its rider, if any, if it's not grappled or restrained. The duplicates move with it and mimic its actions, shifting position so as to make it impossible to track which wolf is the real one. If the wolf is ever grappled or restrained, the duplicates disappear.
> <div style='margin-top:-5px'></div>
> 
>   Whenever any creature targets the wolf or its rider with an attack or a harmful spell while a duplicate remains, that creature rolls randomly to determine if it targets one of the duplicates. A creature is unaffected by this magical effect if it can't see or if it relies on senses other than sight. 
> <div style='margin-top:-8px'></div>

>   A duplicate has the wolf's AC and uses its saving throws. If an attack hits a duplicate, or if a duplicate fails a saving throw against an effect that deals damage, the duplicate disappears.

### Konchu

Konchu are hard-shelled insectoids that can roll into a ball to move faster and hit harder. They travel in groups for protection, and will only engage targets when superior in numbers. When outnumbered, konchu will flee unless escape is not an option. They tend to live in forests, jungles and plains that surround these areas.

### Mosswine

Mosswine are small, moss-covered pigs and tend to live in plains or forests. They have a gray, spiky head plate. Mosswine are known to have a great appetite for mushrooms. Hunters and marketers commonly observe them to identify an area of special mushrooms. Mosswine are docile by nature, but will attack if provoked.

## Appendix C: Faction-specific Nonplayer Characters

This appendix contains statistics for various monsters or humanoids that belong to a particular faction - whether friend or foe.

### Baern of Yeenoghu
*Priest of gnolls*

Baern was a paladin of Heironeous, whose village was under siege by a sudden appearance of monsters. He led the ones that followed him to a cavern at the base of far away mountains, where they established a semblance of normal life.

A few years passed uneventfully, until the small village was attacked by a beholder from a mobile floating fortress. He saw his friends and family disintegrated before his eyes and others crushed by falling stones as their abode was caved in by deadly rays. He managed to save a child in a stroke of luck, one of his neighbours' daughters.

Deeply scarred, Baern wandered the wilderness with this child, heading towards the nearest city for shelter. On the way there, his dreams were plagued by visions of Yeenoghu, the gnolls' demon lord. He was promised ultimate power if he but turned his trauma into violence. He slowly sunk into madness as the pair neared their destination.

When they finally arrived, they looked up and saw the banners of the city flapping in the wind on top of its gates. At that moment, Baern's mind could not accept he was about to join *civilized* folk and he faltered. His maul found the child's head, as she was looking up with tears in her eyes, as her troubles over.

With that atrocity done, Baern turned around, seeking more violence to quench his newfound thirst for violence. Through his dreams, he was informed of a wandering war band, and seeks to find his place in its abyssal ranks.

### Ekoxan the Dauntless
After being chased out of civilized lands, Ekoxan and his people settled in the jungle. There, they found a nice rock formation to dig through and fortify with traps aplenty.

Ekoxan was a hunter, at least he tried to be. He joined the hunters of the tribe in hopes of learning enough to stand on his own. His first venture into the jungle, he got lost. He wandered for a while, only to find himself face to face with a fully grown deinonychus.

The beast pounced on the helpless kobold, who was attempting to position his spear towards it. The end of the shaft caught on some roots, as Ekoxan was clumsy in his youth. At the last second, he flinched in a way that shifted his spear tip towards the rows of teeth of the beast.

After cleaning himself of what blood he could, the frightened kobold wandered some more. A short distance away from the encounter he found a nest containing a single, green-brown, scaly egg the size of Ekoxan's head.

Thanking his lucky stars for both living to see another day and finding what he thought was a dragon egg, he snatched it from its nest. Unable to find his way back to his compatriots, he found a small clearing. There, he crafted himself what would become his home for the next decade.

But a few days after Ekoxan had finished settling into his clearing, the egg hatched. What hatched was something a bit different than what he thought dragons looked like. Convinced that it was indeed a dragon, Ekoxan raised it as best he could and named it Ukku.

For months, the pair lived in this clearing which had been hidden from sight by the clever use of foliage. Ekoxan hunted for them, his skill and physique improving day after day.

When Ukku was old enough to walk for hours on end, they both set out to try and find Ekoxan's tribe. It took a while, and they had a close call with a spinosaurus, but eventually the rock formation came into sight.

By the time they reached the formation Ukku was a head taller than Ekoxan. When the other kobolds saw it, and Ekoxan showed them his "dragon", they all laughed at him. The laughter stopped after the beast pounced on the nearest kobold and snapped its neck in one swift motion.

This reunion led to a series of events that put Ekoxan at the lead of the hunting group. At its head, he taught his brethren how to raise their own dinosaurs. While none of them ever got to the level of teamwork and strength of Ekoxan and Ukku, this allowed the tribe to hunt big game.

The tribe grew at a rapid pace from that point on, the hunting parties even able to take down brontosaurus's due to the quickness of their newfound mounts.

As he led groups further and further in he crafted himself an armor with triceratops remains, and found a whip that could be lit aflame with but a word. He trained ceaselessly with this new weapon, until he reached a level of mastery most could only dream of.

\columnbreak

After the leader of the tribe passed away, Ekoxan was immediately asked to take his place. He was granted the title of Dauntless, for his confidence had grown tremendously since he left for his first hunting mission.

With the help of the hunting group, the tribe's territory expanded. Years later, they stumbled onto a petrified egg, much larger than that of Ukku's or any other dinosaurs they had raised.

Hoping that this was a dragon egg, Ekoxan decreed that a humanoid with holy powers should be brought before it to bring it back from its stony confines. And so, some of the hunters left for the nearest known city.

### Kothar Vyth, Chosen of Semuanya
*Ex-shaman Lizardfolk, now outcast*

In his homeland, Kothar was the shaman of his tribe. His king was cruel, like all the other kings and queens of neighbouring tribes. Seeking another way, Kothar beseeched Semuanya the god of all reptiles. It answered his calls, more than expected.

His body was transformed, gaining the strength of other reptiles. He grew in size, reaching a height of 14 feet. His wounds healed at a rapid pace, and his reflexes improved greatly.

With this new power, he confronted his king, demanding he step down. To his dismay, his fellow lizardfolk took the king's side, terrified of the prospect this abomination having rule of their tribe.

He slew them all; they had no chance. He crafted a huge greataxe from his tribe's belongings, and keeps it on him at all times to remind himself of his failure. Now he wanders the jungle, seeking to dethrone any tyrants. Other tribes keep away having heard of the massacre, now calling him Kothar Vyth, Demon Steel. Many travelers encounter him, but he pays them no mind unless they attack. If they do... he goes into a frenzy, tearing their heads off their shoulders, cleaving them in half with his greataxe.

### Viktor Mazan
*Leader of werewolves in Feywild*

Viktor Mazan is a werewolf lord in charge of the town of Shatterstone, at the edge of Brokenstone Vale in the Feywild. He and many other werewolves formerly lived in the eastern part of the Dawning Woods. There, they eked out the best existence they could within the forest, away from civilization. When the Feywild reconnected to Syra and the fey crossing on Silver Lake opened, he saw an opportunity for his people and led them through.

Unfortunately, the local eladrin population wanted nothing to do with them, and tried to kill them. After a few years of intense fighting, a truce was struck that allowed them to live in Brokenstone Vale, but would be broken if they left it. Viktor Mazan agreed, and established Shatterstone as a trading post near the fey crossing.

He was later kidnapped by the Jagged Fangs, another clan of werebeasts, as part of a plot to reignite the war between lycanthropes and eladrin. He was rescued by the Challengers of the Unspeakable, and the Jagged Fangs were eradicated.
