Who hasn’t been fascinated by monsters? This book collects some of the best creatures from Dungeons & Dragons, setting them out in an informative illustrated bestiary for beginners and enthusiasts alike.
Whether they’re beasts, spirits, demons, or even aliens, most fantasy worlds are filled with monsters. Some are harmless—many more are deadly. Luckily for the discerning adventurer, this book is here to help distinguish between the two. As a popular series sold at conventions and on Etsy, animators Blanca Martinez de Riuerro and Joe Sparrow have compiled three volumes into one deluxe edition. Each creature comes with a full-color illustration, a set of simplified statistics, a description, and a history section indicating its folkloric history and the scientific phenomena that may have influenced its creation. With creatures like the Archdevil, Dryad, Fire Bat, Gold Dragon, Smoke Devil, Bomb Plant, Ettin, and Spirit Fox, any tabletop player will find the perfect creature for their next campaign.
From the Publisher
Feathered Serpent
a.k.a. Couatl, Feathered Dragon
Adventurer’s Tip: Though they may eat humans, feathered serpents will not accept a virtuous human as a sacrifice, preferring to use its teeth to punish the wicked.
Hydra
a.k.a. Many-Headed Serpent
Adventurer’s Tip: The regenerative abilities of many monsters can be counteracted with fire or acid. Once a wound has been cauterized, the hydra’s body cannot regrow any missing parts.
Nightmare
a.k.a. Hell Horse
Adventurer’s Tip: Some demon kings keep their nightmares bound to rings, summoning them by turning the ring three times. A mortal possessing this ring has dominion over its bound nightmare.
Phoenix
a.k.a. Bennu, Firebird
Adventurer’s Tip: Alchemists pay handsomely for phoenix feathers and ashes, as they’re potential ingredients for the Philosopher’s Stone and the Elixir of Immortality.
