Incorporeal Movement. The allip can move through other
creatures and objects as if they were difficult terrain. It
takes 5 (1d10) force damage if it ends its turn inside an
object.
Babble. The allip constantly mutters and whines to itself,
creating a hypnotic effect. All sane creatures within 60 feet
of the allip must succeed on a DC 14 Wisdom saving
throw or the creature becomes charmed for 1 minute. While
charmed by this spell, the creature is incapacitated and has
a speed of 0. Creatures that successfully save against this
effect cannot be affected by the same allips babble for 24
hours.
Madness. Anyone targeting an allip with a thought
detection, mind control, or other telepathic ability that
makes direct contact with its tortured mind takes 11 (2d6 +
4) psychic damage and must make a DC 14 Wisdom saving
throw or have disadvantage on ability checks and saving
throws made with Wisdom until the creature has taken a
long rest.
ACTIONS
Maddening Touch. Melee Weapon Attack: +3 to hit,
reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 11 (2d6 + 4) psychic
damage and the target must make a DC 14 Wisdom
saving throw or have disadvantage on ability checks
and saving throws made with Wisdom until the
creature has taken a long rest.
An allip is the spectral remains of someone driven to

suicide by a madness that afflicted it in life. It craves
only revenge and unrelentingly pursues those who
tormented it in life and pushed it over the brink. An
allip cannot speak intelligibly.
Archons are celestials from a lawful good-aligned

plane. Archons generally prefer to meet a foe headon if it is prudent to do so, but if outmatched, they
do what they can to even the odds (usually by
employing hit-and-run tactics or standing off and
engaging a foe with magic before moving into
melee).

Magic Resistance. The Hound Archon has advantage
on all saving throws against magic.
Keen Smell. The archon has advantage on Wisdom
(survival) checks to track.
Change Shape. The archon uses its action to magically
polymorph into a canine beast that has a challenge rating
no higher than its own, or back into its true form. It
reverts to its true form if it dies. Any equipment it is
wearing or carrying is absorbed or borne by the new form
(the archon's choice).
In a new form the archon retains its alignment, hit
points, Hit Dice, ability to speak, proficiencies, and
Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores, as well as
this action. Its statistics and capabilities are otherwise
replaced by those of the new form.
Magic Circle. The archon is surrounded by a 10 ft.
radius magic circle that fiends and undead cannot enter
through nonmagical means. Magical means of entry
require a DC 11 Charisma saving throw to enter. Fiends
and undead have disadvantage when attacking the
archon and cannot charm, frighten or possess the
archon.
Aura of Menace. Hostile creatures within 20 ft. must
make a DC 13 Charisma saving throw or have
disadvantage on all attack rolls and saving throws and
attacks against that creature have advantage. This
saving throw can be repeated at the end of each of the
creatures turns. Once the saving throw is successful,
that creature is immune to the aura of menace from this
archon for 24 hours.
Innate Spellcasting. The archons spellcasting ability is

Charisma (spell save DC 10). The archon can innately cast
the following spells, using only verbal components.

Light Ray. Ranged Magic Attack: +2 to hit, range 30 ft.

one target. Hit: 3 (1d6) radiant damage.

Natural Glow. Lantern archons appear as floating balls of
light that glow about as brightly as a torch. Only the
archons destruction can extinguish the glow, though they
can try to hide it.
Magic Circle. The archon is surrounded by a 10 ft. radius
magic circle that fiends and undead cannot enter through
nonmagical means. Magical means of entry require a DC
10 Charisma saving throw to enter. Fiends and undead
have disadvantage when attacking the archon and cannot
charm, frighten or possess the archon.
Multiattack. The archon attacks twice with its light ray.
Teleport. The archon magically teleports itself, along

with up to 50 pounds of equipment, to a location the
Lantern archons appear as floating balls of light that

glow about as brightly as a torch. A lantern archon
has little reason to get within melee range. It usually
hovers just close enough to bring the enemy within
its aura of menace, then blasts away with its light
rays. Lantern archons prefer to concentrate on a
single opponent, seeking to reduce enemy numbers
quickly.

the aura of menace from this archon for 24 hours.
Trumpet. The archons trumpet produces music of utter
clarity, piercing beauty, and, if the archon wills it, paralyzing
awe. All creatures except archons within 100 radius of the
archon must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or
become is paralyzed. The paralyzed creatures can repeat
the saving throw at the end of each of their turns, ending
the paralysis on itself on a success. The archon can also
command its trumpet to become a +4 greatsword or turn
back into a trumpet as a bonus action. The trumpet turns
into a chunk of useless metal in anyones hands other than
an archon.

Each Trumpet Archon carries a gleaming silver

trumpet about 6 feet long. A trumpet archon usually
disdains physical combat, preferring to obliterate
foes with spells quickly and return to its duties. If
forced into an extended battle, it sounds its trumpet
and attacks with a vengeance.

Languages -Challenge 2 (450 XP)
False Appearance. While the assassin vine remains
motionless, it is indistinguishable normal vegetation.
Entangling Vines. The assassin vine can sprout vines
from the ground within a 20 ft. radius of the assassin
vine. These vines turn the ground in the area into difficult
terrain.
A creature in the area when the assassin vine sprouts
these vines must succeed on a DC 15 Strength saving
throw or be restrained by the entangling plants until the
spell ends. A creature restrained by the vines can use its
action to make a new saving throw. On a success, it
frees itself. The assassin vine can sprout these vines or
dismiss them as a bonus action.
ACTIONS
Vines. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 30 ft., one
target. Hit: 12 (2d6 + 5) bludgeoning damage and the
target is grappled (Escape DC 15). Until this grapple
ends, the creature is restrained and the assassin vine
cant use the same vine on another target.
The assassin vine is a semi-mobile plant that collects

its own grisly fertilizer by grabbing and crushing
animals and depositing the carcasses near its roots.
A mature plant consists of a main vine, about 20 feet
long. Smaller vines up to 5-feet long, branch off
from the main vine about every 6 inches. These
small vines bear clusters of leaves, and in late
summer they produce bunches of small fruits that
resemble wild grapes. The fruit is tough and has a
hearty but bitter flavor. Assassin vine berries make a
heady wine. An assassin vine can move about, albeit
very slowly, but usually stays put unless it needs to
seek prey in a new vicinity.

without magical means.
Innate Spellcasting. The barghests spellcasting ability is

At will: Blink, Levitate
1/day: Charm Person, Dimension Door
Change Shape. The barghest uses its action to magically
polymorph into a goblinoid or dire wolf, or back into its true
form. It reverts to its true form if it dies. Any equipment it is
wearing or carrying is absorbed or borne by the new form
(the barghests choice).
In a new form the barghest retains its alignment, hit points,
Hit Dice, ability to speak, proficiencies, and Intelligence,
Wisdom, and Charisma scores, as well as this action. Its
statistics and capabilities are otherwise replaced by those of
the new form.
ACTIONS

Claws. Magic Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5
Greatsword. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft.,

Feed. The barghest may feed on a corpse with a challenge
rating equal to or greater than its own to increase its current
and max hit points by 7 (1d8 + 3).
A barghest is a lupine fiend that can take the shape

of a wolf or a goblin. In its natural form, it
resembles a goblin-wolf hybrid with terrible jaws
and sharp claws. As whelps, barghests are nearly
indistinguishable from wolves, except for their size
and claws. As they grow larger and stronger, their
skin darkens to bluish-red and eventually becomes
blue altogether. A full-grown barghest is about 6
feet long and weighs 180 pounds. A barghests eyes
glow orange when the creature becomes excited.

Break Weapon. Any nonmagical weapon that hits the

caryatid column breaks. After dealing damage, the
weapon takes a permanent and cumulative -1 penalty to
damage rolls. If its penalty drops to -5, the weapon is
destroyed. Non magical ammunition made of metal that
hits the caryatid column is destroyed after dealing
damage.
False Appearance. While the caryatid column remains
motionless, it is indistinguishable from an inanimate
statue or statuesque column.
ACTIONS
Sunlight Vulnerability. The vampire takes 5 radiant

damage when it starts its turn in sunlight.
Death Gaze. The bodak uses its action to gaze at
one creature it can see within 30 feet of it. The target
must make a DC 12 Constitution saving throw. On a
failed save, the target takes 55 (10d10) necrotic
damage. The target takes half damage on a
successful save. If this damage reduces the target to
0 hit points, it is killed and rises as a bodak 24 hours
later.
ACTIONS
Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +3 to hit, reach 5 ft., one
target. Hit: 5 (1d8 + 1) slashing damage.
Multiattack. The caryatid column makes two attacks with

its sword.
Sword. Melee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 10ft.,
Caryatid columns are the lesser cousins of true

golems, constructs created by spellcasters to guard
objects or areas. Each caryatid column is
programmed to guard an object or area when
created, and once set, this command cannot be
changed. Caryatid columns are often given specific
parameters concerning whom to ignore and whom to
attack, but since they have no special form of
detection, such restrictions can be overcome with
disguises if the parameters are known. A caryatid
column stands 7 feet tall and weighs 1,500 pounds.
Bodaks are the undead remnants of humanoids who have

been destroyed by the touch of absolute evil. A bodak
retains fleeting memories of its past life.

Until this grapple ends, the target is restrained and
unable to speak, and the blight can't constrict more than
two targets at a time.
These vicious little predators lurk underground,

grabbing whatever prey happens by. Its hands and feet
have spiny pads that help the choker grip almost any
surface. The creature weighs about 35 pounds.

Keen Hearing. The destrachan has advantage on Wisdom
(Perception) checks that rely on hearing.
ACTIONS
Multiattack. The destrachan makes two attacks with its
claws.
Claws. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft.,
Destructive Harmonics. The destrachan blasts sonic
energy in an 80 ft. cone. The destrachan can tune the
harmonics of this destructive power to affect different types
of targets:
Flesh: The Destrachan disrupts tissue and bone.
Creatures in the area must make a DC 14 Dexterity
saving throw or take 14 (4d6) thunder damage on a
failed save or half damage on a success.
Nerves: The destrachan focuses its harmonics on the
nervous system to knock out rather than slay.
Creatures within the area must make a DC 14
Constitution saving throw fall unconscious.
Material: The destrachan chooses wood, stone, metal
or glass. All objects of that material within the area take
28 (8d6) thunder damage. This effect cannot affect
special materials such as mithral or adamantine.
A destrachan is about 10 feet long from its mouth to

the tip of the tail and weighs about 4,000 pounds. The
dungeon-dwelling destrachan looks like some bizarre,
nonintelligent beast, but its an incredibly evil and
crafty sadist. A destrachan has a pair of complex,
three-part ears that it can adjust to be more or less
sensitive to various sounds. It is blind, yet hunts with a
sense of hearing more precise than most creatures
sight. From its tubular mouth a destrachan emits
carefully focused harmonics, producing sonic energy so
powerful it can shatter a stone wall. So skilled is a
destrachan at controlling the sounds it emits that it
can choose what type of material to affect with its
attack.

Acid Spray (Recharge 5-6). The digester sprays
acid in a 20 ft. cone. Each creature in the area must
make a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw, taking 18
(4d8) acid damage on a failed save, or half as much
damage on a successful one.
A digester stands about 5 feet tall and is 7 feet long

from snout to tail. It weighs about 350 pounds. A
digester is a hunting and eating machine. When it is
not hungry (which is rarely), it lies low and avoids
most other creatures. When hunting, it looks about
for a likely target, then charges forth and delivers a
gout of acid. If the initial attack is insufficient to kill
the prey, the digester attacks with its hind feet until
it can spray acid again.

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one

The omnivorous dire bear usually does not bother

creatures that try to avoid it, but will aggressively
defend a kill or other source of food. It will not
hesitate to rip apart anything that might contain
something edible. A typical dire bear is 12 feet long
and weighs as much as 8,000 pounds.
The oldest and most malevolent wraiths lurk in the

depths of forgotten temples and other forsaken
places. They can sense the approach of living
creatures, and hunger for them. Despite its size, the
dread wraith possesses unearthly quickness, and
makes use of its spring attack to strike with deadly
effect and melt back into the shadowsor the walls.

saving throw or its hit point maximum is reduced by an
amount equal to the damage taken. This reduction
lasts until the target finishes a long rest. The target
dies if this effect reduces its hit point maximum to 0.
Create Specter. The dread wraith targets a humanoid
within 10 feet of it that has been dead for no longer
than 1 minute and died violently. The target's spirit
rises as a spectre in the space of its corpse or in the
nearest unoccupied space. The spectre is under the
dread wraith's control. The dread wraith can have no

Ethereal Plane to the Material Plane without using an action
or back again as a bonus action, returning to the plane it
originated from in the spot it currently occupies. If the
ethereal filcher occupies the same spot as a solid object or
creature when this happens, it is immediately shunted to the
nearest unoccupied that it can occupy and takes force
damage equal to twice the number of feet it is moved.
While on the ethereal plane, the ethereal filcher can move
in any direction. If it moves up or down, every foot of
movement costs an extra foot. The ethereal filcher can see
and hear the plane it originated from, but everything there
looks gray, and it cant see anything more than 60 feet
away.
While on the Ethereal Plane, the ethereal filcher can only
affect and be affected by other creatures on that plane.
Creatures that aren't on the Ethereal Plane cant perceive
the ethereal filcher and cant interact with it, unless a
special ability or magic has given them the ability to do so.
The ethereal filcher ignores all objects and effects that
arent on the Ethereal Plane, allowing it to move through
objects it perceives on the plane it originated from.

target. Hit: 2 (1d4) piercing damage.
ACTIONS
Ethereal filchers are bizarre-looking creatures with a

penchant for snatching trinkets from passersby. Their
ability to move quickly between the Ethereal Plane and
the Material Plane makes them spectacular
pickpockets. Ethereal filchers do not speak. An
ethereal filcher prowls about, using its ethereal jaunt
to move about unseen (and often through solid
objects). Upon locating a likely mark, it shifts to the
Material Plane, attempting to catch its victim unaware.
The creature attempts to seize an item, then retreats
quickly back to the Ethereal Plane. It is not above
delivering a bite to distract its target. Once it secures
a trinket, it scurries back to its lair to admire its prize.
When badly wounded, a filcher escapes rather than
continuing the fight. Any number of simple ruses can
blunt a filchers attack.

Ethereal marauders live and hunt on the Ethereal

Plane. Ethereal marauders coloration ranges from
bright blue to deep violet. An ethereal marauder
stands about 4 feet tall, but its overall length is
about 7 feet. It weighs about 200 pounds. Ethereal
marauders speak no known languages. Survivors of
their attacks on the Material Plane claim that they
emit an eerie, high whine that varies in pitch
depending on the creatures speed and health. Once
a marauder locates prey, it shifts to the Material
Plane to attack, attempting to catch its victim flatfooted. The creature bites its victim, then retreats
quickly back to the Ethereal Plane. When badly hurt
or wounded, a marauder escapes to its home plane
rather than continuing the fight.
FORMIAN WARRIOR
FORMIAN
A formian resembles a cross between an ant and a

centaur. All formians are covered in a brownish-red
carapace. Formians are generally aggressive, seeking to
subdue all they encounter. If they perceive even the
slightest threat to their hive-city or to their queen,
they attack immediately and fight to the death. Any
formian also attacks immediately if ordered to do so by
a superior.

save, or half as much damage on a successful
one. If the poison damage reduces the target to 0
hit points, the target is stable but poisoned for 1
hour, even after regaining hit points, and is
paralyzed while poisoned in this way.
Warriors communicate through the hive mind to

convey battle plans and make reports to their
commanders. They cannot speak otherwise. Warriors
are wicked combatants, using claws and
a poisonous sting all at once. Through the hive mind,
they attack with coordinated and extremely efficient

poisoned for 1 hour, even after regaining hit points,
and is paralyzed while poisoned in this way.
Myrmarchs are the elite of formian society. Much more

than those beneath them, these creatures are
individuals, with goals, desires, and creative thought. A
myrmarch is about is about 7 feet long and about 5
feet high at the front. It weighs about 1,500 pounds. Its
claws are capable of fine manipulation, like human
hands. Each myrmarch wears a bronze helm to signify
its position (the more elaborate the helm, the more
prestigious the position). Myrmarchs can speak Formian
and Common. Myrmarchs claws are like hands and thus
serve no combat purpose. Myrmarchs occasionally
employ javelins for ranged attacks, coated
with poison from their own stingers. They fight
intelligently, aiding those under them (if any such are
present) and commanding them through the hive mind.
If chaotic creatures are present, however, a myrmarch
is single-minded in its quest to destroy them.
ACTIONS

Breath Weapon (Recharge 6). The frost worm exhales
a blast of cold in a 30 ft. cone. Each creature in that area
must make a DC 17 Constitution saving throw, taking 52
(10d6) cold damage on a failed save, or half as much
damage on a successful one.
A frost worm is about 40 feet long, 5 feet in

diameter, and weighs about 8,000 pounds. Frost
worms lurk under the snow, waiting for prey to come
near. They begin an attack with a trill and then set
upon helpless prey with their bite.

Tunneler. The frost worm leaves a 5footdiameter tunnel in
its wake when burrowing.
Trill. A frost worm can emit a noise that forces its prey to
stand motionless. Creatures other than frost worms within a
100-foot radius must make a DC 12 Wisdom saving throw
or be stunned for 1 minute. Another creature may use an
action to grant the stunned creature a new saving throw. If a
creature's saving throw is successful or the effect ends for
it, the creature is immune to that same frost worms trill for
24 hours.
Cold. A creature that touches the frost worm or hits it with a
melee attack while within 5 feet of it takes 4 (1d8) cold
damage. When the frost worm hits with a metal melee
weapon, it deals an extra 4 (1d8) cold damage (included in
the attack).
Death Throes. When the frost worm dies, it turns to ice and
shatters in an explosion. Creatures within 100 feet of it must
then succeed on a DC 17 Constitution saving throw, taking

ACTIONS
one target. Hit: 13 (2d8 + 4) piercing damage. If the
target is a Medium or smaller creature, it is grappled
(escape DC 14). Until this grapple ends, the giant
hamster can bite only the grappled creature and has
advantage on attack rolls to do so.
Cheek Pouch. The giant hamster stuffs a small or
smaller sized creature it is grappling into its cheek pouch.
While stuffed in the cheek pouch, the target is blinded
and restrained, it has total cover against attacks and
other effects outside the giant hamster. The giant
hamster can have only two creatures stuffed in the cheek
pouch at a time.
If the giant hamster takes 5 damage or more on a single
turn from the stuffed creature, the giant hamster must
succeed on a DC 12 Constitution saving throw at the end
of that turn or spit out the creature, which falls prone in a
within 10 feet of the giant hamster. If the giant hamster
dies, a stuffed creature is no longer restrained by it and
can escape from the corpse by using 15 feet of
movement, exiting prone.
VARIANTS: But wait! Theres MORE!

Some Tinker Gnome animal breeders didnt know
when to stop when creating new and improved giant
hamsters, often creating hybrids such as the phase
doppelganger giant hamster or the fire-breathing
sabre-toothed giant space hamster.
Any giant hamster with one or more of the following
abilities do not increase the CR.
Space. The giant space hamster doesnt need to
breathe and is unaffected by being in a vacuum.
Flying. The flying giant hamster has a fly speed of 20

Phase. The phasing giant hamster can move through
other creatures and objects as if they were difficult
terrain. It takes 5 (1d10) force damage if it ends its turn
inside an object.
Doppelganger. The doppelganger giant hamster can
use its action to polymorph into a Large or Medium
humanoid it has seen, or back into its true form. Its
statistics, other than its size, are the same in each
form. Any equipment it is wearing or carrying isn't
transformed. It reverts to its true form if it dies.
Any giant hamster with one or more of the following
abilities increase the CR by 1.
Carnivorous. The carnivorous giant hamster uses its
action to chew on those in its cheek pouch. Any
creatures in its cheek pouch must make a constitution
saving throw or take 22 (4d8 + 4) bludgeoning damage
on a failed save or half on a success.
Sabre-Toothed. The sabre-toothed giant hamster
increases its bite damage to 31 (6d8 + 4) piercing
damage.
Fire-Breathing. The fire-breathing giant hamster can
take its action to breathe a 15 ft. cone of fire. Any
creatures in this area must make a DC 13 Dexterity
saving throw or take 14 (4d6) fire damage on a failed
save or half on a success.

Girallons are savage, four-armed cousins of the

gorilla. When moving on the ground, a girallon walks
on its legs and lower arms. An adult girallon is about
8 feet tall, broad-chested, and covered in thick,
pure white fur. It weighs about 800 pounds. A
solitary girallon usually conceals itself in the
branches of a tree or under a pile of leaves and
brush, with only its nose showing. When it spots or
scents prey, it charges to the attack. A girallon picks
up prey that is small enough to carry and withdraws,
often vanishing into the trees before the victims
companions can do anything to retaliate. Against
larger foes, a girallon seeks to tear a single opponent
to bits as quickly as it can.

one target. Hit: 20 (4d6 + 6) piercing damage and
the target is grappled (escape DC 16).
A gray render stands about 9 feet tall in spite of its

hunched posture and is about 4 feet wide. It weighs
about 4,000 pounds. Gray renders are never found in
groups. Each of these asexual creatures produces
one offspring and carries it for a time in a pouch,
but thereafter the young render must fend for itself.
A unique quality of the gray render is its tendency to

bond with, protect, and provide for another creature
(or group of creatures) native to its surroundings.
Whether accepted or not, the render always attempts
to remain fairly close, watching over its adopted
charge(s) and daily bringing an offering of meat. It
never willingly harms adopted creatures and retreats if
they attack it. A gray render attacks to kill, whether to
bring down prey or to protect itself or those it has
adopted. When hunting, it sometimes attempts to hide
and wait for prey to wander close.
Grigs can leap great distances. They have light blue

skin, forest-green hair, and brown hairy legs, and
usually wear tunics or brightly colored vests with
buttons made from tiny gems. A grig stands 1 feet
tall and weighs about 1 pound. Grigs are fierce by
sprite standards, attacking opponents fearlessly with
bow and dagger.

Fiddle. The grig can rub its legs together like a cricket to
create a sound similar to a fiddle. All creatures within 20 ft.
must make a DC 12 Wisdom saving throw or begin a comic
dance in place: shuffling, tapping its feet, and capering for
the duration. This effect continues for as long as the grig
continues to use its action to fiddle. Creatures that cant be
charmed are immune to this effect.
A dancing creature must use all its movement to dance
without leaving its space and has disadvantage on Dexterity
saving throws and attack rolls. While the creature is
affected by this spell, other creatures have advantage on
attack rolls against it. As an action, a dancing creature may
make a new Wisdom saving throw to regain control of itself.

INEVITABLE
Inevitables are constructs whose sole aim is to enforce

the natural laws of the universe. When an inevitable is
created, it receives its first mission, then finds the
transgressors and metes out appropriate punishment.
The sentence is usually death, although some
inevitables insist on compensation to the wronged
party instead, using geas and a mark of justice to
ensure compliance. From its first step, an inevitable
focuses totally on its target. It continues its efforts no
matter how cold the trail or hopeless the task.
Inevitables are single-minded in pursuit of their quarry,
but they are under orders to leave innocents alone.
Accomplices to their prey are fair game, however,
which sometimes creates conflicts within their
programming. Inevitables gladly sacrifice themselves to
complete a mission, but they arent suicidal. Faced
with impending defeat, they are likely to withdraw and
seek a way to even the odds. They are determined but
patient foes. They ally with others if that helps
accomplish their mission, but they have a hard time
keeping allies for long. Inevitables tend to stick out in
a crowd while theyre in observation mode, but they
seem oblivious to the attention. Their forms vary, but
all inevitables are gold-and-silver clockwork creatures,
with gears and pistons where muscles would be on
flesh-and-blood creatures. Their eyes glow with a
golden radiance. Unless their very existence is
threatened, inevitables focus completely on the
transgressor theyve been assigned to, ignoring other
combatants completely. An inevitable might attack
anyone who hinders its progress, but it wont tarry
beyond the point where it can reengage its quarry.
Inevitables take self-defense very seriously; anyone
who attacks an inevitable with what the creature
perceives as deadly force is met with deadly force in
return.

Discern Lies. The kolyarut may concentrate on a
creature, forcing it to make a DC 15 Charisma saving
throw. If the saving throw is failed, the kolyarut knows if
anything the creature says is the truth or a lie.
Mark of Justice (1/day). The kolyarut draws an indelible
mark on a willing, restrained or incapacitated creature
and states some behavior on the part of the subject that
will activate the mark. Typically, the kolyarut designates
some sort behavior, such as breaking an oath or bargain,
which activates the mark.
When activated, the creature must make a DC 15
Wisdom saving throw or suffer the effects of Bestow
Curse (as if cast using a 9th level spell slot).
Kolyaruts mete out punishment to those who break

bargains and oaths. Before beginning a mission
against a deal-breaker, a kolyarut learns as much
about the contract or oath as possible. Its not
interested in those who break deals accidentally or
against their will only those who willingly break
contracts violate the principle that kolyaruts are
created to uphold. If a written contract was broken,
the kolyarut typically carries a copy of the contract
with it. Kolyaruts are the most talkative of the
inevitables, making credible attempts at social
niceties such as proper greetings before getting
down to the matter at hand. They can use disguise
self to appear as almost any kind of humanoid
useful if they need to go undercover to catch their
quarry. Like all inevitables, a kolyarut is patient
enough to study a target before striking. It has a
good idea of the deal-breakers abilities and
defenses before it enters battle. When it fights, it
tries to get the conflict over as soon as possible,
minimizing excess bloodshed and mayhem. It doesnt
let concern for innocents delay or endanger its
mission, however. A kolyaruts favorite tactic is to
use invisibility or disguise self to sneak close, then
eliminate the quarry with its vampiric touch ability
before it can react. A kolyarut has no compunctions

about using its vampiric touch ability on allies to
increase its own power, if doing so helps it complete
its mission.

At will: Dimension Door, Fear, Command, Dispel Magic,

1/day: Chain Lightning, Circle of Death, Wall of Force
1/week: Earthquake, Geas, Plane Shift
ACTIONS
Multiattack. The Marut attacks twice with its Fists of
Thunder & Lightning.
Fists of Thunder & Lightning. Melee Weapon Attack:
+7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 22 (2d6 + 15)
slashing damage and 10 (3d6) thunder damage and
10 (3d6) lightning damage and the target must make a
DC 20 Constitution saving throw or be blinded and
deafened for 1 minute.
Mark of Justice (1/day). The marut draws an indelible
mark on a willing, restrained or incapacitated creature and
states some behavior on the part of the subject that will
activate the mark. Typically, the marut designates some
sort behavior, such as cheating death or extending their
lifespan unnaturally, which activates the mark.
When activated, the creature must make a DC 17 Wisdom
saving throw or suffer the effects of Bestow Curse (as if
cast using a 9th level spell slot).
Maruts confront those who would try to deny the

grave itself. Any who use unnatural means to extend
their life span could be targeted by a marut. Those
who take extraordinary measures to cheat death in
some other way might be labeled transgressors as
well. Those who use magic to reverse death arent
worthy of a maruts attention unless they do so
repeatedly or on a massive scale. When a marut has
identified its target, it walks surely and implacably
toward the foe, never resting. Once it has found its
target, a marut brings it the death it has been trying
to avoid. Those who defile death through
necromancy may instead receive a geas and/or mark
of justice to enforce proper respect. It typically
uses wall of force to shut off any escape routes,
then opens up with chain lightning while it closes to
melee range. Once there, it strikes with its massive
fists, using circle of death if beset by numbers of
defenders. It hits spellcasting opponents with
repeated uses of dispel magic, and it uses dimension
door and locate creature to track down foes who
flee.

such as breaking an oath or bargain, which activates the mark.
When activated, the creature must make a DC 13 Wisdom
saving throw or suffer the effects of Bestow Curse (as if cast
using a 9th level spell slot).
Zelekhuts are charged with hunting down those who

would deny justiceespecially those who flee to
escape punishment. Expert trackers, they use a
combination of natural skill and magic to find fugitives
wherever they may hide. A zelekhut may initially
appear rather non-threateningbut when it is about to
enter combat, it can cause two spiked chains to spring
forth from its forearms. In similar fashion, it can cause
a pair of golden metallic wings to emerge from its
back. Once it has found its fugitive, a zelekhut uses its
speed and its spell-like abilities to cover the most
likely escape routes. Then it immobilizes any defenders
while attempting to protect any innocent bystanders.
Finally, it apprehends the fugitive with its spiked
chains, tripping or disarming the foe as needed.

most direct route. It doesn't avoid opportunity attacks, but
before moving into damaging terrain, such as lava or a pit,
and whenever it takes damage from a source other than the
kelpie, a target can repeat the saving throw. It does not
consider water a dangerous area, and will enter the water
even if it cannot swim or breathe. The charmed creature

with their elongated tongue. They often catch
opponents flat-footed, for they move much faster

A phasm is an amorphous creature that can assume the
guise of almost any other creature or object. A phasm
in its natural form is about 5 feet in diameter and 2
feet high at the center. Swirls of color indicate sensory
organs. In this form, a phasm slithers about like
an ooze and can attack with a pseudopod. It weighs
about 400 pounds. When faced with potential danger, a
phasm is equally likely to retreat, parley, or attack, as
its fancy strikes. If pursued or harassed, a phasm
transforms into the most fearsome creature it knows
and attacks. When seriously hurt, it changes to some
fast or agile form and tries to escape.
Multiattack. The phoenix makes two attacks with its

claws and one attack with its bite.

Languages Common (cannot speak)
Keen Smell. The marrash has advantage on Wisdom
Bay. The shadow mastiff uses its action to bay. All nonfiends within 300 must make a DC 11 Wisdom saving throw
or be frightened for 1 minute. A frightened target can repeat
the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, with
disadvantage if the shadow mastiff is within line of sight or
can be heard, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a
target's saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it,
the target is immune to the shadow mastiffs Bay for the
next 24 hours.
Shadow Blend. The shadow mastiff is invisible in dim light
and darkness.
ACTIONS
target. Hit: 6 (1d6 + 3) piercing damage. If the target is
a creature, it must succeed on a DC 13 Strength
saving throw or be knocked prone.
Lethal Shock. Whenever two or more shocker lizards

are within 20 feet of each other, they can work together
to create a lethal shock focused on one participating
lizard. All creatures within 20 of the focal lizard must
make a DC 12 Dexterity saving throw or take 9 (2d8)
lightning damage or half damage on a successful save.
This damage increase by 1d8 for each additional lizard
beyond two.
ACTIONS
one creature. Hit: 2 (1d4) piercing damage.
Shock. Melee Spell Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft.,
one creature. Hit: 9 (2d8) lightning damage.
A shocker lizard has a pale gray or blue underside,

shading to a darker hue on its back. It has blue-black
markings along its back and tail. A shocker lizard is
about 1 foot tall at the shoulder and weighs about 25
pounds. A shocker lizard relies on its electricity
abilities in combat. A lizard tends to bite only after
its shock has rendered an opponent unconscious or
when the shock seems to have no effect at all. A
solitary lizard flees once it delivers its shocks, but if
other shocker lizards are nearby, they all home in on
their comrades discharges and attempt to
administer their shocks to the foe.

Heated Body. A creature that touches the thoqqua or hits it
with a melee attack while within 5 feet of it takes 5 (1d10)
fire damage.
ACTIONS
target. Hit: 10 (1d6 + 2) bludgeoning damage and 7
(2d6) fire damage. If the target is a creature or a
flammable object, it ignites. Until a creature takes an
action to douse the fire, the target takes 5 (1d10) fire
damage at the start of each of its turns.
A thoqqua is about 1 foot in diameter and 4 to 5 feet

long. It weighs about 200 pounds. When a thoqqua is
disturbed, its first instinct is to attack. Its favored
tactic is to spring directly at a foe, either by bursting
out of the rock or by coiling up its body and launching
itself like a spring.
