As of the moment, here's the current Table of Contents, which has the progress of everything we've gotten done so far.

Entries in bold have their stats done, though I'm still working on properly formatting or converting some of them. Entries in italics have their description blurb done. Entries that are underlined have their art done. If you see any that catch your eye that you might want to take a look at, we can provide links to the old thread's entries on them. In addition, despite our initial goal being 100 creatures, I'm totally down to keep going and add more onto this whole thing as we go.

I found this picture and thought it would make for a unique necrobiotic variant of undead.

The concept i had is that it's spine/head binds to the victim in a parasitic manner and uses your intelligence to supplement its own but controls the host like a sentient puppet.

So basically youre aware of what youre doing but youre a passenger in the senario. I suck at writting crunch but figured it was a neat enough idea to share.

>>69063118

This is one I made years back for an official 'write a monster for the next monster manual' contest.

A species of evil fey that looks like a humanoid-shaped blob of goo. They start out mindless, but seem to grow in power and intelligence as they incorporate stolen materials into their body. The collection also serves as a kind of status symbol/ranking among their kind.

They arrange their collection inside their mass to suggest the anatomy that they lack. So a coil of rope sits where intestines should be, broken chair legs serve as bones, cracked vases for lungs, etc. The fancier or most expensive the materials, the more they like it, and they rarely keep anything they can't shove inside themselves. They also never use real body parts, because that would be cheating.

>>69063318
I remember that artist has done another couple of those designs, like something similar but it makes a big ogre body instead of a centaur. It's honestly a pretty cool concept.
Sadly said artist exclusively uses naked women as the example targets of the pieces, and it really seems like it's some kind of fetish which does make it a bit more awkward to use.

Still interesting though.

>>69063470
Isn't there a doujin with either that, or something practically identical to it?

Could I see the art? Can't find it in the old thread

>>69063937
There's a link to the previous thread in the OP, but we never actually got art for the Ignomoth. I think my screenshot just wasn't clear enough to make it easy to distinguish between underlines and the red underline you get from the spell checker.

Here's the current list of things with art. Ones with asterixes are found art, and so might be worth redrawing if we feel like it.
>1 Mirror Golem
>2 Cauldron Crab
>6 Coffee Elemental
>11 Dracopede
>23 Ogham Sphinx*
>24 Cone Shooter
>25 Jinxes
>48 Soda Jerk

>>69064018
Actually speaking of art, drawanon who did the Mantivern, Cauldron Crab, and the rest of those little ink drawings. Are there any monsters, either currently in the list or new in this thread that you'd want to see drawn? I can't promise I'll get to all of them, but I'd like to get some more out of the way.

>>69063546
Lowkey. I also posted that because i was hoping to get the sauce on that.

>A vast, alien morass of luminescent tendrils drifts silently through the landscape, its spectral form heedless of the terrain. At least dozens of acres in size, its ponderous movement bears the inevitability of a coming storm. Wildlife flee from it in a panic, the magical among them falling into a shuddering torpor as they are engulfed. As it approaches, you feel the air around you deaden as gleaming incorporeal threads extend to discern your nature.

File: bad.png (18 KB, 214x214)

18 KB PNG

Name: Bad
Size: Small
HP: 1
Armor: 0
Speed: glacial
Attacks:
Eerie Pulse (1/10)
Infest (1/10)*

Special Qualities:
Ephemeral: May only be harmed by something that can hurt ephemeral beings (see also - ghosts, specters, etc.) or non-physical elements.
Infestation - seemingly just a lashing tendril - Hitting a foe with the infest attack seemingly destroys the Bad, but embeds a tiny Bad into the mind of the victim (Bad Syndrome)
Bad Syndrome - Develops after a successful infestation. The victim's mind is translocated to another dimension but still works, and a bad now takes its place. The victim cannot comprehend other Bad, and any effect that needs to target its mind fails. They also gain a weakness to the light element due to the Bad's influence. The illness is curable but the procedures require specific training and knowledge of other dimensions.
Light Vulnerability - The Bad begin to simmer if exposed to light, and turn into dust if exposed for about ten seconds.

Number Encountered: 1-5 (cluster), 5-20 (swarm).
Environment: Bads are encountered in any place that is:
A) subject to constant negative energy of any type
B) rich with sapient life, especially mentally vulnerable entities.
A textbook location would be a cult hideout or a dillapidated prison.

Loot:
Bad Dust - Throw this at your enemies to disrupt mental focus and make thoughts slow until the dust settles.

>On your journeys through the underbellies of the world, a corner of your eye spots a shimmering, ghastly orb of blackness, hiding in a shadow as dark as itself. These are the Bad - said to be malaise and hopelessness given form. Harmless pests for the experienced journeyman, but annoying and devastating for the unsuspecting. At a glance, the Bad can do little but hover ominously and emit an unnerving aura, but a touch from these lesser beings may lead to grave circumstances.

Bonus lore bits for the 4 Ooze Princes:

>If all four Princes fused into one large Ooze, they would exceed the strength of the current form of Juiblex and could potentially overthrow him, but their squabbling and individuality would keep them from ever doing so

Here's an idea for something

Harvestman
>A human sized spider-like creature, the Harvestman is a type of fey that has the ability to increase the bounty of a harvest and to steal it.
>Appearing as a spiderlike thing wearing dapper, if threadbare clothing, it offers bargains to down on their luck farmers, often swindling them out of something important in exchange for a bountiful harvest. Common prices include firstborn children, ancestral heirlooms, memories, or other such valuables.
>However the Harvestman is nothing if not entirely straightforward to its deals. While the price it takes is high and cruel, it will always fulfill its part of the bargain both in letter and spirit.
>If the other party attempts to swindle the Harvestman, the fey will use a scything whip of its claws and steal the entire harvest from their fields, before vanishing.
>Are fond of pumpkins, and superstitiously can be summoned by carving pumpkin lanterns, which it likes to rest by in its long journeys from farm to farm.

Also Daddy Long Legs is a fun comic.

>Environment: Forest, swamp, temperate rainforest
>Loot: Obsidian Sword, Boggart Mask (cursed)

>>69081390
What kind of curse is on the Boggart's mask?

>>69081578
The mask has the power to make people dance an erratic jig. Non-fey creatures that stare into the masks's eyes while it is being worn (for about 5-10 seconds) will be overcome by an irresistible urge to dance that can last for up to one hour. The wearer of the mask will also be overcome with an urge to dance once per day. Masks hate non-fey wearers and will bide their time to activate when the wearer is in the most danger.
"Dancing" in this case means dancing on the spot, full body dance, unable to do anything else.

I imagine these things talking like some kind of old fashioned Mr Handy from fallout. Nothing's quite as terrifying as an autonomous wheelchair rolls towards you yelling "HOLD STILL SIR AND/OR MADAM, YOUR HUMORS ARE UNBALANCED." or "REMEMBER TO CHECK FOR MIASMA".

>Pale Horse
Size: Large
HP: 5/10
Armor: 3/10
Speed: Fast
Attacks: Buck (3/10), Snag (1/10, target makes a Reflex save or is grappled), Centaurian Bind (grappled targets only. Target takes 9/10 Necrotic damage, if dropped to 0 HP the target fuses with the Pale Horse. The Pale Horse gains the mental stats, proficiencies, and languages of the creature it binds to itself, as well as all of the target's memories)
Special Qualities: Till Death Do Us Part (If a Pale Horse is killed while bound to a host, the host will die as well as the Pale Horse ruptures their brain. The only way to unbind a Pale Horse from its host without killing the host is to use an 18th level Turn Undead or similar powerful anti-Undead Holy spell on the Pale Horse, forcing it to drop the host. However, if a host is held by a Pale Horse for more than a month, the will permanently fuse together and can only be separated with a Wish spell), Undead Cunning (While they require a host to reach human-like levels of cognition, being naturally no smarter than a hose, a Pale Horse is knowledgeable in tricks and traps to secure hosts. Their most common tactic is to pretend to be a rotting horse carcass, and then latch onto individuals who approach to examine them, binding to them)
Numbers Encountered: Herds (5-10), will often join larger herds of bound Pale Horses afterwards
Environment: Before binding Graveyards, Ruined Barns, Roadsides, similar places horse corpses can be found. After binding, forests and plains, typically in the service of a larger evil entity
Loot: Any loot their host would have

>>69083795
Lore for the Pale Horses
>Pale Horses are the creation of a necromancer long ago, who was jealous of centaurs and wanted to find a way to combine humans with horses to emulate them
>Attempting to simply stitch the two together proved difficult, so they instead opted to animate just the horse skeleton, with the adaptation that it could merge with a human
>The horse proved a bit too eager, bound with the necromancer, and took over his body
>It immediately set to work creating more of itself, all while the necromancer's consciousness was locked inside of his mind, screaming from his mistake
>Pale Horses are all descended from that original Pale Horse Necromancer, and either directly serve them as part of some kind of mysterious, secret operation, or they join other groups, typically working for Dark Lords or other magically-inclined evil organizations, at least until them and their host merge togethers
>Pale Horses are very community-focused, often speaking in terms of a group rather than the self. Their greatest desire is to find a host to bind to and merge with until they become one, unified consciousness.
>After the host and the Pale Horse are totally bound together over the span of a month, the Pale Horse and the personality of the host begin to blend more and more together, assuming the host didn't go insane or stopped thinking during their time in the background. This process is known as 'Attaining Oneness' and it is a very sacred process for Pale Horses, being the ultimate culmination of their reason for existence.

>Swolesquatch
>Giant, chaotic good relatives of Yetis, the Swolesquatch are powerful monsters that act as nature guardians for sections of forest
>Swolesquatch are determined, brave defenders of their chosen territory, willing to fight tooth and nail to keep their land safe and protect the natural order. For this reason, the sworn enemies of the Swolesquatch are Undead and Aberrations, and take every opportunity available to strike down said creatures should they venture into its territory
>Swolesquatch possess human-like intelligence, some even being able to speak Common and other languages, but despite this fact they very seldom communicate with other humanoids, generally seeing them as threats.
>If a humanoid should enter their woods and seems to pose a threat to the natural order by logging or overhunting, a Swolesquatch will first attempt to scare them away by appearing from trees and stalking them. If that fails, it stealthily begins messing with any objects their carrying and begins leaving signs that they're unwelcome, such as by knocking trees down around them, breaking or stealing their equipment, etcetera. If THAT fails, only then with it actually begin overt hostilities, pelting them with rocks and twigs at a distance before it can properly get in and crush them
>It isn't impossible to befriend or make an ally out of a Swolesquatch, however. They have been known to make friends with Druids and kind-hearted children, and will reward these friends or those who defend their forests from great threats on rare occasions with the Swolesquatch's greatest treasure: a Carnation Aeternum.
>Carnation Aeternums are special flowers that grow in the center of forests that Swolesquatch live in, with a Swolesquatch actually regenerating from a bed of them after being killed. Bestowing one onto a person is seen as a sign of either true friendship or great respect and appreciation.

OP here with an update on document editing! At the moment I'm about 30 entries in into formatting them, but everything is for the most part in the document that we've done so far. It's pretty bare bones, but I'll be posting in a little while once I get a bit more of the formatting issues done. Thanks for your patience everyone.

This will by no means by what the final manual looks like, and will be sans art.

>>69089846
No problem man, these things take time and I don’t mind waiting until it is complete. Thanks for doing this.

Here's a description blurb for this wonderful lad.
>A gigantic, muscled humanoid stands between the trees, nearly thrice the height of an average man. It's body is coated in a thick chesnut fur, save for its eyes which peer out with an intelligent gleam from the veil of its face. It stares at you, eye to eye with a gaze of judgment and apprehension. When you blink, it is gone, the only thing left to mark its presence being a fallen carnation petal.

Alright everyone, here's the current WIP of the document! I'm still adding in the creatures from the last part of this thread and the newly made Knightmare stats, but as of the moment we have a significant portion of this thing done!

Next on the list is to work on getting descriptions and more written out informational blurbs on these things, finish up statting the rest of them who aren't yet finished, and work on formatting this into something that looks nicer so I can start formatting in the art.

>>69094314
Looking pretty good so far. Might I suggest putting the creatures in alphabetical order in the final draft? It would make finding monsters much easier in my opinion.

If it is too much work however, then don’t worry about it. Do what you think is best.

>>69094314
Can we have a list of creatures yet to illustrate somewhere?

Hey, does anybody have any monsters from the previous thread that they need stats put to or shitty art made of? I'm not a very good artist, and my stat balancing skills are a little rusty, but I'm willing to try to do either to help speed this manual's creation along.

Oh yeah, I'll be properly organizing them once we get them closer to done. At the moment though, having them roughly in the order of posting helps me search for them in this and the old thread, and also is how I have them organized in the art folder.

>>69094956
>>69095217
Alright, here's the total list of monsters missing art, though some of the ones with art are currently art that we haven't made, so we might want to change that at some point. In addition, anything not bolded doesn't have stats yet.

Entries in Red don't have art yet.
Entries in Black currently have art.
Entries with a (*) or (*?) have art, but either isn't original art or might not be and I'm not sure.

>>69095267
Understood. I will try and stay things later when I can. Good luck.

Special Quantities: Nightcrawler (Has Blindsight up to 30 ft, is blind beyond this distance), Toxic Avenger (The body of a Sunworm is filled with light-processors and light-generators that are toxic to most animals, and eating one in any form deals 5/10 poison damage)

>Simurgh
>A large and highly colorful bird looking like a mix of a paradisea, a bearded vulture and a green peafowl with a long, thin and hard beak like that of a heron. Upon closer inspection you notice it's beak as dozens (actually a hundred) holes, of different sizes.
>Know for it's song, that sounds like an orchestra of wind instruments. The simurgh's song has magical proprieties, driving those who listen to it into into either stupor, euphoria, and the likes.
>Called the King of Birds because, by imitating the songs of several bird species at once it can call and direct other birds to help it.
>It's beak and plumes are very expensive, being used as magical reagents and materials for musical instruments.
>When it gets old, it sings a last song before dying. Those who listen to it are driven to such dispair that either kill themselves or they simply lay where they stand and wait for death to come, refusing to eat, drink or protect themselves. The simurgh can also create a smaller scale version of this effect as an defense mechanism.
>Mechanically it's a bird with lots of bard-like abilities, other bird minions and some song magic)

>It has short, stumpy wings like a chicken's and can glide and even fly short distances with it (probably aided by it's psionic powers). The terror bird usually jumps from very high places and glides down to prey.
>Very fast running speed

>>69097477
>Royal Jelly
>Either the servitor of some mad god from the far realms or the creation of a even madder wizard that wanted a simpler way of transmuting magical reagents.
>The Royal Jelly is a massive (the size of a large house, at least) golden/yellow jelly that has an sticky and sweet exterior (think a honey clump but with a tinge of orange and lemon juice). A handful of this jelly can feed a man for a day
>kids, small animals and plants raised eating it grow bigger and stronger than it's normal.
>However this super food isn't the Royal Jelly's claim to fame
>Everything it feeds on is melted and slowly transmuted first into the yellow jelly outside it, and latter into rare materials such as ichor, ambrosia, philosopher stones, divine wine and panacea.
>Indeed it's heart/core is made of pure panacea, and it reproduces by splitting it's heart and two and sending it away (think mitosis).
>Far from unable to defend itself, every time the Royal Jelly is wounded, amy inorganic material it "bleeds" into is transformed into a variety of oozes and slimes that immediately start to defend it.
>It can also transform parts of it's exterior into acid-like substance
>It's a very slow creature, and prefers to let it's minions do the fighting
>Royal Jellys seem to control a servitor race of myrmidon-bee hybrids that worships it
>DCSS inspired, yeah

Tupak
>Size: Small
>HP: 2/10
>Armor: 2/10
>Speed: Medium
>Attacks:
Beak (1/10 damage)
Claw (2/10 damage)
>Special Qualities:
Acidic Fecal Matter Blood (3/10 damage single target, 2/10 splash zone)
Unnerving Laugh (uses the vicious mockery cantrip as a bonus action)
Number Encountered: Group as minimal as 2 up to 12, nesting in high places.
Environment: Islands or tropical forests.
>Loot:
Acidic fecal matter (could be transforemed into a vial of acid with the help of an alchemist kit)
Food (if prepared with the acid removed from the body)

The Tupaks are a particular species of birds that subsist in only a few islands in the world, primarly because their main substenance, the Feishi berries, have for now only grown on a few islands. While still having the intellect of a regular animal, this species of bird seems to at least recognize when an individual is in distress, which brings them amusement. Many were the cases of adventurers being lost in the jungle only to be found weeks later as a corpse in foetal position, their hands blocking their ears and partially dissolved via acid.

This was basically what our GM threw at us in a game of Anima. Those birds disrespect people and shit acid on them. We called them the Tupak. Afterward I took the concept and adapted it for a 5e game, but I didn't have any stat... thought it was extremely fun how I almost killed a player and he decided to capture one just to make it pay for everything he went throught.

>Balloon Sheep
Size: Huge
HP: 6/10
Armor: 9/10
Speed: Glacial (Hover)
Attacks: Stomp (5/10), Inhale (Targets within a 20 foot cone in front of the Balloon Sheep must make a Reflex save, or have the oxygen sucked from their lungs. They take 7/10 damage and fall unconscious for 3 turn), Exhale (After Inhaling, targets within a 20 foot cone in front of the Balloon Sheel must make a Reflex save, or take 3/10 damage and be blown back 25 ft.)
Special Quantities: Cloudspotter (Balloon Sheep, when not feeding on clouds, are virtually indistinguishable from a normal cumulus cloud)
Numbers Encountered: Herds (5-20), occasionally Solitary on the ground
Environment: High in the Sky, occasionally on Flying Castles or Mountaintops, rarely on the ground in Prairies
Loot: Float Bladder (Organ that allows the Balloon Sheep to float), Balloon Wool (Used in exquisite luxury clothes due to its light, comfortable feel)

So I had an idea for a voltron-type enemy, that can either split up into weaker versions, or combine into a big stompy one.
>Name: Fire Sprites
>Size: (Small/Large/Huge)
>HP: (2/10)
>Armor: (2/10)
>Speed: (Fast)
>Attacks: (2/10) Ranged, launches shards of superhot obsidian from its body, but not too far.
>Special Qualities: 1. Any four undamaged sprites may combine to form a larger version of themselves, a “greater sprite”. This enhanced version has all the hit points and attacks of the smaller sprites that make it up, but receives a +2 to armor and its attack stat. 2. Four greater sprites (requiring 16 fire sprites) may combine to form a “grand sprite”, keeping hit points, and receiving an additional +4 to armor and attacks. A Grand Sprite loses half of its attacks in this form, leaving it with only 8 attacks.
>Number Encountered: Flock 2-7, Mob 8-15, Swarm 16-24
>Environment: Volcanic zones
>Loot: Fire rubies
Description: “Resembling floating chunks of volcanic glass, Fire Sprites thrive near volcanic zones, feeding off the abundant heat in the area. In order to reproduce, a Fire Sprite drains minerals from the area around it, until it is large enough to form a second identical body, which then breaks off and begins its new life. Fire Sprites are very territorial, and combine when able to chase off any threat that enters their domain.”

>flies sideways at you

A Vapor is a tortured, deranged spirit that was captured and stored a chest, vase, or some other container and then sealed with a music box contraption that plays a song as long as it is sealed. Vapor Chests are a trap most commonly used in dungeons and lairs of necromancers, often baiting poor adventurers close with a song and then the spirit inside, a fast, powerful, but single-minded poltergeist, violently bursts free and stuns those it attacks with pure horror. Typically, some sort of common trap mechanism begins an opening process, which usually takes thirty seconds but may be tuned to be longer depending on the expected timing. Of course, these are gnomish inventions, though dwarves have had their own take on it where instead of a music box, it plays a loud horn or slowly scratches a violin or cello string. The different music has different mind altering affects, as the nature of its torture is different.

>>69098755
I like it a lot, I can see a really mean encounter with these and some kind of fire giant, where they can combine across the giant's body to make armor that fights back.

>Cancers
Size: Large
HP: 6/10
Armor: 7/10
Speed: Slow, (Flying Speed) Fast

Special Quantities: Spiked Shell (When a melee attack hits a Cancers, the attacker takes 1/10 damage)
Numbers Encountered: Solitary, or occasionally a Flock (2-10)
Environment: Ocean Cliffs
Loot: Chitinous Shell

>Cancers are warped relatives of Griffons, ones that trade the elegant pride of their lion cousins for cold, cruel cunning and barbarism
>Created by the twin brother of the ancient mage that crafted the original griffons, Cancers are cruel monsters that take glee in the suffering of others, ruthless scavengers and predators that soar along coasts to prey on travellers and weakened creatures
>Cancers are nearly impossible to raise, only willing to obey the cruelest and most ambitious of masters. Legend tells that the one who tames a Cancer is destined to become a Dark Lord
>Cancers typically hunt for prey during the day by soaring through the air until one of them spots a potential meal, be it a bloated carcass or a creature/group of creatures small and weak enough that the whole group could kill them together. They then soar down and begin harassing the target with loud squawking and hissing, preferring the taste of a fearful meal.
>They then attack the prey by battering them with their claws as they fly by or by dropping rocks and sticks gathered along the beach on them from above. They only descend to the ground to eat, where it becomes a fight amongst each of the flock members to decide who gets first dibs of the meal, typically going to the largest member of the group.

Posting another Hollow monster for this dude >>69050746

Morgasts - When a necromancer dies, his soul is taken rightfully to the inferno of Ghenna; But what happens to his undead creations? As the souls have already been judged, they cannot re-enter Paradise; but nor are they damned to the fires of Ghenna. The souls of those unfortunate undead are pulled to the Hollow; it is here where, having seen paradise snatched away from them, they suffer an eternity of solitude. Most Morgasts have the appearance of a soft candle light fluttering through the catacombs, but rarely, they can manifest as truly horrific manifestations of their tortured past life. They will typically moan quietly to themselves in the dark, and this is the adventurer's best indicator to avoid the area.

It's a common tale among travellers that Morgasts will drift into an unconscious creature's mind and give horrendous night terrors to the afflicted, slowly draining them of their vitality until their death. As a bulwark against this, Travellers of the Hollow typically wear symbols of the Divine Spirit on their ears and around their necks. Morghasts are pious spirits, and the symbols calms the restless souls.

Size: Large
HP: 5/10
Armor: 9/10
Speed: (Hover Speed) Extreme
Attacks: Brain Blast (1/10 psychic damage at a range of 30 ft., Will save or Intelligence is dropped to 1 and the target becomes mind controlled by the Ace of Spades for 1 hour), Telekinesis (Lift up to 250 lbs of inorganic material), Cerebral Blend (Can only be performed on a target that has been subjected to a Brain Blast. Deals 9/10 psychic damage and completely absorbs all of the knowledge of a target, such as their proficiencies, their memories, and any knowledge-related abilities they have for 24 hours. Can transfer knowledge to a central computer on its ship to learn it permanently), Flare Beam (4/10 fire damage at a target in the Ace of Spade's line of sight. Sets nearby flammable objects on fire upon hit and blinds target)
Special Qualities: Aces of Spades have all of the special qualities of a regular Braniac Maniac, as well as the traits: Motherboard (Shares the knowledge of all Maniac Braniacs it has under its control, and can access any information they have acquired through a Mind Probe attack as long as they're within 500 ft. of it), Bioluminescent (Ace of Spades naturally generates bright light from itself, a fact that it commonly uses as an intimidation tactic), Energy Absorber (Ace of Spades is naturally resistant to magic and other forms of energetic attack, and if it would take damage upon passing a save to resist a magical or energetic ability, it is instead healed by the amount it would take as damage)
Numbers Encountered: Solitary
Environment: Brainiac Maniac ships, occasionally with Invasion Forces, very rarely with Away Teams in cow pastures
Loot: Spade Exosuit (Powerful psionically-operated metal suit. Wearing it grants the Armor, Energy Absorber trait, and the Flare Beam attack. Requires several months of training to operate, and can only be used by those with Psionic abilities)

>>69106482
Ace of Spades
>Aces of Spades are the leaders of operations on other planets, shadowy generals that operate out of great psionically-controlled battle suits
>An Ace of Spades' Spade Suit is a marvel of technology and psionics, a heavily armored exoskeleton that protects them from all matters of potential harm that moves like lightning and flows as natural as wearing nothing. On many planets in the mortal realm, an Ace of Spade eerily gliding along the battlefield, silent as the grave with the exception of the sound of the crackling of fires it's deadly Flare Beams creates as it illuminates the horrified faces of enemies, is a cause for immediate surrender
>Typically only owned by nobility or gifted to high-ranking military officials, Spade Suits are as much a status symbol as they are weapons of war. They are often decorated with elaborate designs and colored lights to further show them off, and further intimidate opponents
>Ace of Spades often lead invasion forces and search parties to Faerun for a number of reasons, either for the glory of invasion, as part of a hunting party to kill creatures across the galaxy to bring back trophies, as part of scientific investigations, or just so a bored noble can get a cheap thrill

Drew the Balloon Sheep and Sunworm, since I figured they needed some art. Sorry for the low quality, I'm not very good yet.
I hope to draw some more eventually, though, so if you like what you see feel free to ask for a monster you need either statted or drawn, and I'll see what I can do.

>>69106949
Honestly anon these are great. The whole point of this art side of the project is that if you can make whatever, it’s worth it and going in. As far as I’m concerned, this is absolutely on point

>>69106949
Yeah, the drawings aren't very good. That said, every good artist was a bad one that didn't give up.

I really love this website sometimes

I was gonna suggest cursed sheet music but I think this is less derivative.

Cemetery Sentinel
>Graveyards that are repeatedly disturbed may sacrifice parts of themselves to create Cemetery Sentinels. Consisting of dozens or even hundreds of tombstones (depending on their individual size and the number available) and driven by the angered spirits of the dead, Cemetery Sentinels arise to ward off grave robbers and necromancers alike.

>Bonehead Crabs
Monster hermit crabs using skulls for their shells. Once a larval Bonehead Crab finds a skull to inhabit, it grows a "body" consisting of a spindly, skeletal replica of the body which the skull originally belonged to but made from crustacean parts sculpted into replicating non-crustacean anatomy (a "ribcage" made from fused-together claws or "fingers" consisting of thickened prehensile antenna, etc). The skull is retained as the Bonehead Crab's head although with additional crustacean bits to make it work. Eyestalks protrude into the empty eye sockets from the core of the crab's body inside the former brain cavity, there are crab mandibles behind the skull's teeth, etc. Bonehead Crabs possess fragmentary memories and instincts from the prior user of their skull. In the case of animal-derived Bonehead Crabs, this just means they act like a living member of whatever species their skulls once belonged to aside from being fully amphibious (Bonehead Crabs can breath in both water and air, although they need to keep their gills moistened in the second situation), but human-derived Bonehead Crabs are sentient and some of them believe they're the dead person whose skull they use.

A "monster" of sorts I use in my current Shadowrun campaign is a kind of spirit-carrying boat. Technically, it consists of three parts, the spirit, the vessel and the (humanoid) body, but it's "fused" into one on the astral level. No real name for it either, since it's one-of-a-kind, but if I had to ...

Name: Possessing Vessel
Sizes: small (the actual spirit) / at least small (the body) / larger than the body (the vessel)
HP: 2-4 (spirit and body), 5+ (vessel)
Armor: 0 (spirit), whatever armor can be worn (body), 2+ (vessel).
Speed: any, depending on the vessel. The spirit is unmoving, but is carried with the vessel. The body moves with the normal speed for the humanoid, but can't leave the vicinity of the vessel for longer than a day or two without suffering and eventually dying.
Attacks: none (spirit), whatever attacks and weapons they are carrying (body and vessel)
Special qualities: The body regenerates faster when on the vessel, even from horrific injuries. It also has extremely good control over the vessel's movement when driving it and can spot even the smallest things "wrong" with it. Otherwise, the body doesn't know it's being used like this, and considers the vessel simply it's "home" - and the spirit makes sure it stays this way.
Number encountered: unique
Environment: Whatever is typical for the body and vessel. A ship or boat will be in maritime environment, a cart in civilised areas and so on.
Loot: If the spirit is killed, the vessel becomes broken beyond repair and the body suffers strong, but not necessarily fatal trauma. The body can't really remember the time it spent being the vessel beyond a general feel. If the body is killed first, the spirit will seek to possess any of the nearby ones, strongly preferring those with arcane abilities, turning them into new bodies for themselves if they succeed. If the vessel is destroyed, the spirit is ... kinda spirited away, leaving the body as traumatized as it would be if the spirit was killed.

Time for more Crab.

>Kanikami
Size: Huge
HP: 0/10 (See Below)
Armor: 0/10 (See Below)
Speed: Slow
Attacks: Tidal Snip (3/10 damage, if hits causes Drowning Deep), Pelagic Sphere (5/10 damage in sphere around it, causes Drowning Deep.)
Special Qualities: Totemic Form (The body of the Kanikami is a projection made of seawater and divine power, formed around a small totem of a crab. The Kanikami cannot be harmed, but will vanish when the totem is destroyed. It cannot move more than a mile away from the totem.), Drowning Deep (Being hit causes your body to behave as if it's deep underwater. Treat character as swimming and use breathing rules, even though they're on land. Lasts 2d8 turns per hit)
Number Encountered: Solitary or pantheon (4-10)
Environment: Shorelines, grottoes
Loot: Divine Pearls (Valuable), 1d6 crabs.

>A massive crustacean formed of rushing seawater and flotsam clacks towards you, floating across the sand. It's body fades between transparent and opaque, with fish and crabs floating inside its mass. Where it touches, the sand floats and drifts as if pulled by an unseen tide.

Kanikami are created by fishing villages and seaside communities, worshiping the gods of the sea. An ambient amount of belief towards the sea will eventually form a small totem of flotsam and pearls, and from that totem a Kanikami will emerge and begin to wander its surroundings. Invulnerable unless their totem is destroyed, the Kanikami make excellent and powerful guardians against pirates and other dangers, and so are often worshiped and sacrificed to by the communities that have spawned them. The touch of a Kanikami imparts the might and power of the ocean, causing those it harms to drown on dry land, as they float in the air.

>Chimeric Mummy
Size: Varies, either Medium, Large, or Huge
HP: 4/10 (5/10 if Large, 6/10 if Huge)
Armor: 4/10 (5/10 if Large, 6/10 if Huge)
Speed: Slow
Attacks: Chimeric Attacks (Pick nonmagical attacks from other monsters or animals that it is Chimerically combined with, if Medium pick 2, if Large pick 3, if Huge pick 4), Rotting Touch (4/10 necrotic, target makes Will save or target becomes Cursed with Mummy Rot. Target cannot regain HP when cursed, take 1/10 necrotic damage per hour, and if the target is reduced to 0 HP while effected by the curse, the target is reduced to dust and can only be revived with a wish spell)
Special Qualities: Chimera (The Chimeric Mummy is made up of several different monsters and animals. Depending on the animals it is merged with, it gains different traits. For example, being merged with a turtle gives a +2 to Armor and allows them to tuck into their shell to shield itself, being merged with a cheetah raises their speed, and being merged with a dog gives the Keen Smell and Hearing ability. Medium mummies can pick 2 traits, Large mummies pick 3, and Huge mummies pick 4)
Numbers Encountered: Solitary
Environment: Deserts, Pyramids, and other sources of shamanistic Necromancy
Loot: Mummy Wrappings, Mummy Herbs

Unnerving Goat (or Goat, Unnerving)
Size: small
HP: 1
Armor: 1
Speed: medium
Attacks: 2, but not normally aggressive
Special Qualities: A sense of deep unease haunts anyone within 200 feet of the goat. The goat is unaligned and detect evil notices nothing off about the goat, though detect magic indicates an aura emnating from the goat. It is not apparent that the unease is about the goat, but a passive perception beyond that of most commoners detects that the goat is the source of your unease. The animal is otherwise unremarkable.
Number Encountered: 1, but typically surrounded by ordinary goats. Such a goat is typically born in a given rural area once a century, rarely in the living memory of anyone within a days travel.
Environment: farms, villages, markets
Loot: none, but the effect continues emnating from the dead goat for 8 hours

Not even gonna lie, I would absolutely use this. Being able to fake out the party with weird, unnerving goats is wonderful.

>>69112328
While the birth of an unnerving goat does not portend anything in and of itself, the presence of such a creature is often the cause of great disturbance on a local scale, sometimes wider. Unrest among the peasants can spread, bringing famine and civil war. A few scholars have attempted to trace the downfall of entire kingdoms back to the inauspicious presence of a goat at just the wrong place and time, though such projects ar generally considered a fool's errand.

>>69112471
One warlord, hearing of the unnerving goat, got his hands on a specimen and attempted to use it for his own purposes. He tied the goat to a stake at the entrance of his hall, and placed his seat at the rear, just out of range of the goat's effect. In this way all who came into his court would tremble in fear. What he did not consider was that his bedchamber, just above the great hall, was only 100 feet away from the goat. His chamberlain found him one morning; he had hanged himself by his own bedsheets.

Others have been more successful in the past in using goats for more direct purposes, but inevitably met the same fate, prolonged exposure to the goat's presence running their nerves ragged.

Still, some remained spurned on by half-remembered myths of a mythical figure, a winged warlord who rode a chariot pulled by such goats across the sky. A god, a faerie, a spirit, they do not know. But sometimes, in the wilds when an unnerving goat is born, people dream of a great chariot riding through the sky, trailing fire and war and unrest.
