K is for Kruthiks, Who Ate All the Words
Monsters work their way into our hearts in tons of ways. Some have art that grabs you immediately, some fill a niche you need in a campaign, some fight players in epic battles, and some have a tiny throwaway line … Continue reading
J is for Jyoti, Light-Spitting Birds
J is hard. Fewer monsters begin with J than with B, and I wrote about how rough that was. The issue again is in which monsters I’ve used; I’ve dealt with juggernauts a few times, and I love the jahi … Continue reading

I is for Ice Archon, Dim, as a Lark
Everybody has their favorite creatures, and I find the longer you play D&D the more favorite creatures you have. Some combination of the mechanics, the backstory, the art, and all the bits of a monsters tickle you in some way, … Continue reading

H is for Hezrou, Prince of the Dark
I went back and forth several times on what to do for H because I had two good candidates, both evil outsiders and both campaign villains in different ways. I settled on this one because while I did something interesting … Continue reading

G is for Grodair, Backstory’s Mouthpiece
Let’s compliment a story about a creature I made from scratch with a story about a creature I used exactly from the book. Exactly. The grodair has a few similarities to the death slaad. They’re both owned by their respective … Continue reading
F is for Fire Bats (Well, Fire Keese)
F is also a surprisingly hard letter. Few creatures begin with F except those who do it by virtue of having some modifying word: flesh golems, frost worms, forest drakes, etc. I’ve really only used one F creature, and even … Continue reading

E is for Earth Elemental, Disguised
So far this month has been all about monsters I created and ran as a DM, and most of the rest of the month will be too. But every once in a while I get the opportunity to develop a … Continue reading

D is for Death Slaad, with Sternness Despised
I’m always impressed by how serendipitously these posts come together, like how last year we happened to have two characters from the same campaign, but polar opposites, at adjacent letters. You’d think I planned it that way. Today is one … Continue reading

C is for Chimera (Three out of Five)
I think we take certain D&D creatures for granted. We know there are several monsters borrowed from Greek mythology, like minotaurs and sphinxes, and it’s somewhat common knowledge that golems come from Jewish folklore, and so on. But we’re often … Continue reading

B is for Brains, Who Walk, Still Alive
When I started on the list of monsters for this month, I expected to hit snags on certain letters. I had ideas for Q and X, but J? Y? I anticipating having trouble with the smaller sets of monsters. I … Continue reading
