Allip
Dread Allip
It is said that when a group of people working together
uncover or stumble upon a dangerous secret known
only by the archdevil Dispater, a horrible curse befalls
all of them. This knowledge instantly drives them mad
and enraged, causing them to attack and tear each
other apart until all of them are dead. From their grisly
remains there is a chance that a dread allip will rise.
Twisted Amalgamation. Unlike the normal allip, the
dread allip is a twisted amalgamation of each of the poor
souls driven insane. Multiple distorted faces pulsate
through its head and shoulders, all whispering and
babbling incoherently. Any living soul unlucky enough to
be within hearing distance of their whispers fall prey to
the allip’s clutches.
Undead Nature. A dread allip doesn't require air, food,
drink, or sleep.
Dread Allip makes one melee attack against a random creature, or it does
nothing if no creature is within reach.
Large undead, neutral evil If a creature's saving throw is successful, the creature is immune to

Aranea
Aranea
An aranea is an intelligent shapeshifting creature
not unlike a lycanthrope. In its natural form, the
aranea appears as a giant spider with slender
humanoid arms in place of its pedipalps. Its thorax
has a humpback-shaped bulge which houses
its brain. The aranea's other form is that of a
humanoid female.
Magically Adept. An aranea is naturally gifted
with the arcane arts. Due to their highly secretive
nature, they focus their expertise in the schools of
illusion and enchantment. Some, although very
rarely, even have psionic abilities.
Silk Weavers. Despite their nature, most aranea
are neutral and will keep to themselves, often
living at the fringes of civilization so as not to
attract unwanted attention to themselves. Those
that manage to live within city walls work as silk
weavers and silk traders and can actually live out
their lives normally without getting exposed.
Evil Aranea. Evil aranea are con artists and serial
killers that use their guile and magical charms to
lure innocent victims into their hovels where they
can ensnare and cocoon them with their webs and
place them in their larder-like attics.
Male aranea do not have the ability to
shapechange into humanoid form and have no
magical abilities. They only serve the female as
consorts and guards.
Aranea Heightened Spell: When the aranea casts a spell that forces a
creature to make a saving throw to resist the spell's effects, it can

Elder Aranea
A colony of aranea is always led by an elder that acts like a hive
queen. The elder is a powerful and intelligent spellcaster that will
prioritize the safety of its kin above all else.
An evil elder aranea will lead its colony in insidious attacks
against small humanoid communities. The aranea will ride into
a hamlet in a caravan posing as silk merchants. By morning the
next day, the aranea have charmed, isolated, and led the men and
guards into ambushes. When they determine that there are no
more threats, they enter the houses one by one and capture and
cocoon each of its inhabitants, including children and livestock.
The aranea will then stay in that hamlet for weeks, feasting on
their captured prey, and whoever else that might wander into the
hamlet. After completely devouring the place's inhabitants and
divesting it off its valuables, the aranea colony will move once
more to find another suitable place to strike.

Athach
Athach
An athach is a massive 18-foot tall giant that has a third arm
growing from its malformed, portly body and a gnarled, tusked
maw that drips with debilitating venom. The creature never
bathes, and the stench its body emits is nearly overpowering.
Obsessive Hoarder. An athach is a greedy collector of gems,
jewelry, and precious metals. It has an obsessive fascination of
such objects, polishing and talking to them for hours in its lair.
When it isn't admiring its loot, it sets out to hunt for food or
look for more treasure, which directly puts it into conflict with
dwarves, mining settlements, and merchant caravans.
Paranoid Sociopath. Due to its greedy and obsessive
nature, the athach is a solitary creature. It will never
live with another intelligent being it doesn't intend to
eat, and very rarely will it be with another of its kind,
except probably its mate. But due to its greed, the
relationship does not last long as they will soon try
to murder each other for fear that the other will
steal the other's treasures. An athach, on the other
hand, may have monstrous pets, such as hydras,
owlbears, and otyughs, to guard its lair.
Grappling Brute. In combat, it moves with a
lumbering gait, crushing enemies with its enormous
tree trunk club. It will try to grab targets smaller
than itself and will then either bite their heads off,
slam them to the ground, or fling them like a missile
weapon against other foes.

Balhannoth
Elder Balhannoth
A balhannoth, if left alone for decades, can gain a
vast amount power from devouring countless victims.
It eventually evolves into the more fearsome elder
balhannoth. Extremely rare even in the Shadowfell,
the elder balhannoth will either take over balhannoth
colonies as its alpha, or destroy and consume everything
(even its kin) within miles of its territory to ensure it has
no competition.
Irresistible Lure. The elder balhannoth has developed
an ability to emit an aura of enchantment around it.
When a creature enters this aura, the elder balhannoth
immediately digs deep into its mind, draws forth its
greatest desires, and then projects a reality-warping
manifestation of it that only the unwitting creature
can see. This causes the victim to approach the elder
balhannoth, oblivious to the actual danger.

Banderhobbs
Banderhobb Shadow Assassin and Raider
Banderhobbs normally have a short existence. They expire once
they fulfill their duties, leaving only a puddle of dark goo and a puff
of shadow. In some very rare instances however, a banderhobb
may reform in the Shadowfell and continue to live the rest of
its existence there, evolving into more mature versions of their
normal ilk. They eventually band together, loosely kept in line
by the most powerful in their group. They are often hired and
summoned by fiends, cultists, and evil spellcasters to serve as
mercenaries.
Banderhobb Bogeyman
Once in a while there will be a banderhobb of exceptional guile
and skill that reforms in the Shadowfell. Birthing the legend of
the Bogeyman, this deadly banderhobb has the ability to shift
from the Shadowfell and into the Material Plane. While it enjoys
feeding on flesh, it requires consuming psychic energies generated
by frightened and stressed beings to sustain its magical abilities.
A banderhobb bogeyman can normally be found leading a band
of banderhobb shadow assassins and raiders.

Eye of the Deep

An aquatic sub-species of beholders, the eye of the deep is
only found in the darkest depths of the ocean or the deepest
subterranean lakes of the Underdark. Growing to about five to
nine feet in diameter, the eye of the deep retains its beholder-like
qualities with a cyclopean eye and a large maw of razor-sharp
teeth. Unique among its kind, the eye of the deep only has two
eye stalks but is armed with two limbs ending in crustacean-like
pincers that it uses to crush and dismember its foes. Instead of
projecting an antimagic cone, its central eye creates a bright burst
of light that can leave its enemies unlucky enough to be looking at
it blinded for a minute.
Intolerant Tyrants. True to its nature, the eye
of the deep is xenophobic and fiercely territorial.
While they may tolerate and subjugate nearby
weaker life forms such as kuo-toans, merrow, and
sahuagin, other dangerous intelligent beings such as
aboleths and morkoths are a different matter. It will
relentlessly try to destroy or drive them out if it can.
Otherwise, it will seek out new territory.
Gouger
Gougers are large beholder-kin created by phaerimms eons ago
to hunt and kill other beholders. Slightly larger than a normal
beholder, the gouger possesses the same magical powers as that
of their kin and is armed with an abrasive and razor-sharp tongue
that it uses like a whip. It even has four tiny legs under its body
that enables it to skitter if forced on the ground. Because of its
nature as a beholder-hunter, gougers have grown stronger than
their brethren and can negate another beholder’s magic. They are
also quite insane.
Aggressive Stalkers. While the phaerimm have since mostly
forgotten about them, the gougers continue to aggressively prowl
the Underdark, hunting actively for beholders. This doesn't mean

Bunyip
Bunyip
Looking like a cross between a shark and a leopard seal, the
bunyip is a curious specimen of nature. Covered in a seal's
matted fur, but with the fins, tail, and serrated teeth of a shark,
the bunyip is an aquatic predator that can be found in shallow
bodies of fresh water and near sea caves. It generally keeps to
itself, heading out in the open only to forage for edible plants and
hunt for prey. It is normally solitary, using its keen sense of smell
to avoid encounters with other creatures and humanoids, unless it
can ambush them.
Frenzied Killer. What makes a bunyip dangerous is when it
smells blood in the water, which sends it in a savage frenzy. A bite
from a bunyip can become a life and death struggle for its victim.
The bunyip drags its prey underwater and proceeds to thrash its
head sideways, tearing and shredding its victim senseless.
Dire Bunyip
The extremely rare gigantic bunyip lives in isolation and is the
alpha of its kind. A very hungry dire bunyip has been known to
attack small ships or boats docked near shallow waters or stuck in
polar ice, slamming into and attempting to overturn them to get to
its crew and cargo.

Nuckalavee
According to legend, the nuckalavee was once a powerful
champion of good that fell in battle against the forces of the
demon prince Orcus. As punishment, the champion and its steed
are transformed by the Demon Prince of Undeath into a demon.
This is partially true. Deathpriests of Orcus perform an unholy
ritual where they sacrifice, willing or otherwise, a knight and its
steed to the demon lord. A mighty abyssal fiend
is summoned and uses the sacrifice as its vessel.
Both man and steed are then fused together in an
agonizing ritual that brings forth the nuckalavee - a
fiendish abomination whose horrifying visage can
bring unending nightmares to those that gaze upon
it. The resulting appearance - crimson ropy muscles
visible through translucent skin, black blood coursing
through yellow veins, an equine skull jutting from its midsection -
is horrific.
Amphibious Fiend. While it may be a fiend, the amphibious
nuckalavee is normally encountered in the Material Plane,
wading in dismal watery places such as fog-filled bogs and
marshlands.
Bringer of Woe. Like all servants of Orcus, the nuckalavee
is devoid of its heart, and its once righteous spirit has been
replaced with a desire for death and destruction - all for
the glory of the demon prince of undeath. It now serves as
a terrifying herald of Orcus. Some say that when someone a
nuckalavee is sighted, disease, drought, and pestilence shall soon
follow.
Champion of Undeath. The nuckalavee's entire being seethes
with necrotic energy. Its very presence instantly kills nearby
animal and plant life, leaving only death and decay at its wake.
It is not surprising then that it can be found in the company of
undead, even serving them as their leader.
Baleful Weapons. In combat, the nuckalavee can be a deadly
opponent that should not be underestimated. Its potent breath
can instantly cause flesh and bone to rot, and its dreaded claws
can cause instant death to those who are foolish enough to
challenge it.

that looks similar to Baphomet's Heartcleaver, but is just a
lesser copy.
The Aspect of Baphomet does not share the same cunning
as its progenitor, but its savagery and might in combat are
much in line with the Prince of Beasts.

Aspect of Demogorgon
The Aspect of Demogorgon will be about 15 feet in height
with a body of that of a green-scaled dinosaur with a huge
forked tail. It’s muscular and hairy torso is topped with
two leering simian heads that resemble a cross between a
baboon and a mandrills.
Of all Aspects, the Aspect of Demogorgon is probably the
most difficult to measure and anticipate its actions. Being
the embodiment of chaos, madness, and destruction, its
worshipers are always taking a huge risk to petition for one.
But then again, almost all worshipers of Demogorgon are
deranged, if not totally insane.
The Aspect of Demogorgon will act similarly as its
progenitor, with its two simian heads not caring where their
gaze might land, even if it falls on a loyal worshiper. Which
is probably why its worshipers will only petition one when
they are in desperate need or in a dire situation, such as
when their temple is being attacked by a party of powerful
adventurers.
In combat, the Aspect of Demogorgon will seemingly
appear to employ random attacks, not focusing on any single
target. In truth, each of the two heads are simply following
its own tactical course of action and will not work together
unless faced with a strong foe.
Aspect of Demogorgon reduction lasts until the target finishes a long rest. The target dies if

Aspect of Fraz-Urb'luu
Rarely does Fraz-Urb'luu share its essence to create an Aspect of
itself, especially if the ones petitioning for one are unaware that
they are petitioning the Prince of Deception. If it ever happens,
however, an Aspect of Fraz-Urb'luu may not share the same skill
level of deceit and illusory powers of its progenitor, but it is more
than capable enough to deal with most enemies.
The Aspect of Fraz-Urb'luu will appear as a 10-foot tall muscular,
green furred gargoyle with reptilian features. Large fin-like ears
stretch from the side of its head and long tendril-like whiskers
dangle from each side of its chin.
In combat, the Aspect will employ hit and run tactics, swooping
in to strike vulnerable targets and flying away before its
allies can help. In between those strikes it will
use its spells such like Phantasmal Killer
to take out those that are most likely to
be susceptible to it.

Aspect of Graz'zt
Of all demon lords of the Abyss, Graz'zt is the most
likely to grant a follower's petition for an Aspect.
The Dark Prince of Pleasure, unable to resist feeding
his vanity, enjoys the awe his Aspect inspires upon his
worshipers.
The Aspect of Graz'zt stands just half slightly smaller than
its extremely handsome progenitor at nearly 9-feet tall. Its
muscular body is covered in dark purplish skin, and it has
six fingers on each hand as well as six toes on each foot. It
wields a greatsword that has the likeness and near power of
Wave of Sorrow but nowhere near Graz'zt's skill in combat
and magic.
In combat the Aspect will rely mostly on its martial prowess
and Wave of Sorrow. It will only resort to its spells if faced
with a challenging foe.

Aspect of Juiblex
Of all demon lords, the least likely to ever bestow an Aspect
is Juiblex. The Faceless Lord is apathetic, even to its own
worshipers. It would take a very specific reason for it to ever
allow it, which is the promise to be able to consume and absorb
an insurmountable number of living matter, such as unleashing
the Aspect in the middle of a human bustling city or an elven tree-
home community.
The Aspect of Juiblex will resemble a 9-foot tall, horrid-looking
amorphous mound of greenish, slimy ooze with numerous
tendrils. Its glistening, slimy body is riddled with pulsating blood-
shot eyes and gaping, biting maws ridged with sharp teeth.
In combat, the Aspect will use its Eject Slime against armored
targets and then concentrate its acid lash attacks against the most
vulnerable foe, attempting to kill it quickly so it can consume it. It
will seldom use its spells, unless to finish off a foe.

Aspect of Kostchtchie
Kostchtchie will only answer petitions
from his frost giant worshipers, and if
ever, it doesn't take much effort for as
long as it allows the Aspect to unleash
its bloodthirsty rage and wreak havoc
against as many enemies as possible.
The Aspect is nearly identical in size with
its progenitor, resembling a cross between an
ogre and a frost giant. Its muscular body is squat and
rotund and stands about , and its skin is deathly white
with shades of icy blue. It wields an almost exact copy
of its mighty, oversized warhammer that emanates
bluish frost.
In combat, the Aspect of Kostchtchie will hardly
deviate from its course of action, which is to angrily
crush and maim as many foes as it can, and hardly
casting any spells. The only thing that would cause
it to alter its actions is when it spots a challenging
opponent. It would then make a beeline toward it, use
its Curse against it, before charging to attack.

Aspect of Lolth
The Demon Queen of Spiders will only answer petitions
from a favored drow worshiper, and only if the petition
has something to do with taking vengeance to an entity or
organization Lolth hates.
The Aspect of Lolth will always appear as that of Lolth's
drider-form or that of a horrid-looking huge spider with
Lolth's strikingly beautiful head.
While it may not match the natural cunning of its
progenitor, the Aspect will still personify her extreme
cruelty and hatred against all non-Drow races and will take
great pleasure in tormenting and destroying its foes.
In combat, it will first cause as much pain and suffering
on its targets, toying with them for as much as she can.
Only when it feels threatened will it make use of its full
powers to bring them down.

scraps tied together with chains and decorated with the
flayed skin of its progenitor's foes.
In combat, the Aspect of Yeenoghu will mostly just
attack with its flail, never bothering with spells unless
the situation warrants it. If given the chance, the Aspect
will not immediately kill those it fights. Instead,
it will maim them first, then slay and devour
those they love in front of them. Only when it has
broken its foes will it finish them off.

Devils
Cornugon
Cornugon devils are an elite subtype of horned devils that
serve under archdevils. They are known for their strength,
fighting prowess, and magical abilities.
Terrifying Fiends. Typical cornugon devils stand at
around 11 to 12 feet tall, are overly muscular, and have
steel-like scales or tough fur covering their body. Two great
horns flank each side of their head, and their massive
leathery or feathered wings stand well above their full body,
enough to serve as a shield in battle. Their appearances
vary, and will closely resemble the archdevils they serve.
For example, cornugon devils who serve under Bael will
look like massive winged minotaurs while those who serve
under Dispater will look like armored humanoids that have
ridged, iron scales covering its body and metallic wings.
Archdevils' Elite. Cornugon devils are often tasked to
lead lesser devils in combat or if grouped together, serve
as the archdevil's elite troops. When a favored cultist
prays for an archdevil to deal with a major threat and the
cultist's sacrifice is deemed worthy, the archdevil may send
a cornugon.
Warrior Spellcasters. In combat, cornugon devils take
a dual role. They start off as artillery support, unleashing
devastating long range spells from afar to break clustered
enemy ranks while also dispelling any magical threats
and barriers that may hinder their allies. When the battle
finally joins, they take flight and dive at the most dangerous
but vulnerable targets, such as enemy spellcasters. Against
challenging opponents, cornugon devils will utilize both
their martial and spellcasting abilities to full advantage,
often creating illusions to distract and mislead while
making hit and run tactics.

Dogai (Assassin Devil)

The dogai, also known as assassin devils, are highly skilled silent
killers, infiltrators, and spies who serve the Lords of the Nine and
other archdevils. If they are not on spying missions against the
demons, they are sent to the Material Plane to assist and take care
of problems the worshipers of the Nine pray and ask for, such as
troublesome adventurers.
Meticulous Planners. If a dogai is sent to assassinate a target, it
will first plan its approach, assess the target's location, and make
preparations. It will never engage a target unless it can have total
surprise. It will always conjure its shadow blade beforehand,
and will utilize its shadow abilities to ensure it reaches striking
distance unnoticed.

Paeliryon
A paeliryon is a greater devil that does its work unseen. This devil
believes that information is the key to advancing in power and
as such, is responsible for the spy and assassin networks
that rivals even Lolth’s.
The paeliryon is a disgusting sight to behold, with
a massive bloated obese body covered in warts.
It massive face is framed by a devious, red-
lipped smile that prominently shows its
rows of sharp teeth. On its back sprouts
two bat-like wings with ends flayed like
old leather and its hands are armed with
poisoned claws painted in blood red.
Out of the dark. Paeliryons rarely
come out in the open, preferring
to leave its agents to do the dirty

including the passion devil or itself. If multiple creatures are closest,
the attacker chooses which one to target. If the saving throw is
successful, the attacker is immune to the passion devil's Instinctive

Remmanon
The remmanon appears as a naked androgynous humanoid
creature that is constantly hovering a few feet above the ground.
Barbed chains and hooks adorn its hairless skin, and long ram-like
horns curl backwards on each side of its head.
Devils of Discord. Remmanons are greater devils of discord,
greed, jealosy, and lust. They hate and destroy the concepts of
camaraderie, kinship, teamwork, trust, and harmony by sowing
dissonance among mortals, breaking their ranks from within.
Most remmanons can be found in Phlegethos, and serve the
archdevil Fierna, while a few work under Dispater and Mammon.
Insidious Manipulators. In combat, remmanons prefer to stay
behind the front lines and will very rarely engage in melee. They
would rather manipulate and influence without been seen, using
spells and their Insidious Aura to do most of the damage. If hard-
pressed, they summon bearded devils to protect them and if they
must, use their devastating hellfire touch that can incinerate a
creature and leave nothing but ash.

Xerfilstyx
The xerfilstyx is a greater devil that has the upper form of a huge
winged devil, while its lower half is that of the body of a giant
slug. It lives within the depths of the river, sampling the memory
fragments of souls that flow through it. Having lived in the waters
of Styx, the xerfilstyx devil has been driven insane from the
constant bombardment of memories. Like the sweetest of poisons,
a xerfilstyx takes pleasure in the memories it absorbs while it
dissolved its own mind. It is this insanity that drives xerfilstyx to
attack other creatures, eager to drive them into the waters of Styx
and taste memories within it. It is also because of this that other
devils avoid them.
Opportune Fighters. Xerfilstyx fight from the safety of the
river Styx, unleashing a barrage of offensive ice-based spells to
stun its enemies until it can charge in for a grapple. Once an
enemy is grappled, the xerfilstyx will suck out its blood and then
plunge it into the waters of Styx to end its life. When faced with
overwhelming numbers, the xerfilstyx will use its dreaded blood
breath, exhaling its own blood which is so caustic it can melt flesh
like butter.

archdukes in the palm of his hands. While the other archdevils
may have incredible power and sizable armies, Asmodeus is
able to diffuse hostilities through his incredible charisma and
unassailable logic. The other archdukes are incredibly wary of
raising arguments with Asmodeus, for fear of being drawn to a
contract that they know will only benefit him.
Majestic Ruler. No one knows the true form of Asmodeus,
but he often appears as a 9-foot-tall humanoid with dark red
skin, long black hair, and two horns. He is always dressed in
an expensive-looking majestic black and red robe, covering the
still bleeding wounds from his body that he gained when he was
forcefully exiled to the Pit a millennia ago. The wounds, though
centuries old, never cease to bleed, and yet Asmodeus is able to
keep his calm demeanor befitting the regal station of a supreme
ruler. Asmodeus is never without the Ruby Rod, an all-powerful
artifact given to him by Primus which he uses to bind souls into
an unbreachable contract. For ages, Asmodeus has learned to
channel the Ruby Rod which has evolved his powers to the godly
levels.
Nessus. Nessus, the lowest layer of the Nine Hells, is a barren
plain devoid of any life or activity. The ground on Nessus is
extremely flat, and is dotted with massive gouges, gorges, and
canyons that are miles across and dozens of miles deep. Wooden
bridges in various states of disrepair are scattered across some
of the gouges. Deep below the gouges that span several miles
deep, pit fiends and all kinds of devils cling to the walls and
outcroppings, waiting for any soul unfortunate enough to have
fallen into Nessus.
Most of the canyons and gouges in Nessus end in fiery pits of lava
except for the ones that houses the creatures that form Nessus’
great army.
Fortress Nessus. Notable among these locations is Malsheem,
an enormous city that is home to Fortress Nessus, Asmodeus’
stronghold. The citadel sits at the very bottom of the Pit, the
lowest point in all of Baator. While Nessus is a barren wasteland,
the insides of the fortress is like that of a magnificent castle,
intricately designed and furnished in gold and other expensive
elements. Those that step in are immediately weighed down by the
stifling aura of despair. Asmodeus’ throne sits at the bottom of the
fortress, and is guarded by pit fiends, cornugons, and his generals.
Any creature that manages to find Asmodeus himself will first have
to deal with the immense aura of submission that comes from
him. Asmodeus loathes mortals and weaker creatures, and will
usually not appear nor accept their challenge, instead, he sends
his most powerful generals to dispose of them.

black and is always enveloped in dark mists and
shadows. Erinyes constantly circle the tower, ensuring
that no one gets in or out without Dispater’s approval.
Dispater is the only one who decides who is allowed
to go in and out of the fortress and getting in is a
near-impossible task. There are several ways to get
in the tower and all have deadly consequences. One
may try to secure the services of the three devious
imps Ballitu, Arbal, and Ath-Pi, who pose as chattering
children along the alleyways of Dis.
These three imps are willing to guide
anyone through the maze-like city
and into the fortress for a price.
Adventurers beware though, because the
imps’ true goal is to lure would-be victims to
their deaths.
Due to Dispater’s deep paranoia, he prefers to stay
in his fortress and instead send messages to his
archdukes through letters sewed on the bodies of
imp servants. These messengers use
a secret passage to travel in and out
of the fortress. Adventurers may
attempt to follow the imp as it goes
through the secret passage, though
they will need to take great care not to
harm or kill the imp, lest Dispater be
alerted.
Dispater’s Lair. The halls of the Iron
Tower is as labyrinthine as the city it stands on.

Mephistopheles
Mephistopheles, the Lord of Cania, is the Archduke
of the eight layer of Hell. Steeped in research and
acquisition of knowledge, Mephistopheles has spent
countless millennia on the study of arcane magic. The
expanse of his research has attracted the attention of
other archdukes, most notably Dispater the lord of
the second, who now regularly sends envoys to
Cania in case Mephistopheles stumbles upon new
knowledge that he would also like to acquire. The
most prominent research on Mephistopheles’
table is that of hellfire magic. While he is
the only one who has mastered the use of
hellfire magic, Mephistopheles willingly
imparts the power to influential people and
devoted followers in order to build up and
strengthen his cult following.
Irritable Lord. On the surface, he has
a calm demeanor like that of a well-
educated and sophisticated gentleman.
But as Asmodeus's foremost wizard of the
Nine Hells, Mephistopheles is impatient
and unforgiving, and is prone to killing
minions and other creatures that he may
perceive to be distractions or annoyances
to him. Over 9 feet tall with red skin, a
muscular body, leathery bat wings, two
curved great horns, long black hair,
and yellow eyes, Mephistopheles’
appearance is that of a traditional
devil that mortals perceive. He
wears a long, black cape and
always carries his ranseur, a vicious
three-pronged staff through which he can
channel his hellfire magic.
Cania. Adventurers who dream of
going to Cania will need to survive the
frigid temperature that it offers. Without
any protection, any creature will freeze to
death in seconds while exposed to Cania’s
punishing weather. Mephistopheles chooses
to keep the entire layer of Cania under freezing
temperatures and ice storms to deter unwanted visitors.
Anyone wishing to visit Cania will need to sign a written
approval from Mephistopheles himself which grants visitors
protection from the cold weather, but also makes them subject
to Mephistopheles's Word of Injunction. Most visitors are loyal
worshipers and powerful wizards who would like to study under
Mephistopheles or offer him new knowledge. These unfortunate

is to be used in times of war as part of a tactical move or

The Aspect of Bael looks like a 10-foot tall muscular
humanoid with handsome bovine features. It has an

sharp teeth and fangs.
When engaging enemies, the Aspect of Bael unfortunately
does not share its progenitor's natural ability to think a few
steps ahead, measure the battlefield, and make tactical
decisions. Instead, the Aspect prefers to wade into battle
with its morningstar, only falling back to its spells and other

Aspect of Bel
Bel does not have any cults, but is
still worshipped by some warriors
and soldiers. Although it is very
unlikely that he will grant a
petition to bestow an Aspect, it
is still possible depending on
the reason, especially if it can
somehow help him reclaim the
rulership of Avernus back from Zariel.
The Aspect of Bel appears as a pit fiend
wearing a golden suit of plate armor and
wielding a flaming greatsword.
The fiend is a deadly opponent to face, having retained the
tactical brilliance of its progenitor. In addition, its fearsome
sword can cut down the mightiest of heroes and when facing
a great number of foes, it is able to unleash fireball spells and
wall of fire to quickly turn the tide of battle.

Probably the only reasons Dispater will grant an Aspect to its In combat, the Aspect of Dispater will rely mostly on its Touch

Aspect of Moloch
It doesn't take much for Moloch to
grant petitioners an Aspect, as it
currently needs coins, gems, and
treasure to help build an army.
The Aspect of Moloch has a powerful,
stout crimson-skinned physique with
thick arms and legs that ripple with
muscle. Large ridged horns sprout
from the side of its head and its mouth
is filled with fearsome sharp teeth.

to employ against its foes, but mostly
relies on its martial-based abilities. It
uses its breath of despair as often as
it can, especially against large groups
of foes.

Zariel grants petitioners her Aspect if

Zariel's Aspect resembles a 9-foot tall
female with angelic features, but its
facial expressions twisted in an eternal
scowl. It has three horns sprouting
from its forehead that curls over its
head seemingly like a helmet and legs
that resemble a goat's. Wings that
once had feathers now burn with an
eternal flame, spread from its back.
The Aspect of Zariel wields a flaming
sword and javelin, which it relies
on most during combat, just like
its progenitor. Priding itself a true
warrior, the Aspect rarely uses its

powerful foe.

Destrachans
Destrachan
Destrachans are cruel Underdark-dwelling creatures that look
vaguely reptilian and move about like ten-feet long bipedal
dinosaurs, but are actually quite intelligent and very sadistic. They
normally hunt in packs, feeding on misery and taking pleasure in
torturing their victims before going in for the kill.
Sightless Hunters. As underground creatures, destrachans
have evolved to become naturally blind, and relying more on their
unmatched sense of hearing to navigate their surroundings and
locate viable prey. They have a pair of sophisticated, three-part
ears that can pinpoint a target's exact location more accurately
than sight.
Deadly Harmonics. What makes destrachans dangerous
however are their ability to emit flesh-rending sound waves. Their
tubular maws can project carefully focused harmonics, producing
sonic vibrations so powerful it can literally shatter objects and
barriers. Their tough scaly hide has naturally evolved as well
to become resistant to their own harmonics, as well as other
thunder-based attacks.

thunder energy in a 30-foot cone. It can choose one from the
following three effects:
1. Rupture. Each creature in that area must succeed on a DC 13
Dexterity saving throw, taking 18 (4d8) thunder damage on a failed
save, or half as much on a successful one.
2. Stun. Each creature in that area must succeed on a DC 13
Constitution saving throw or be stunned until the end of its next
turn.
3. Shatter. Each non-magical object that isn't worn in that area
takes 27 (6d8) thunder damage.
Destrachan Pack Lord
Destrachans that were physically more superior and vicious than
others eventually bully their way to the top and get the choicest
meals. They eventually grow to a huge size and become the
natural alphas of the pack and the only ones that can breed with
the females. Extremely cunning, they are able to lead other
destrachan to make coordinated attacks.

Dire Corbies
Dire Corby
These denizens of the Underdark look like a dark skinned,

Corbies are flightless omnivorous predators that have a greater
preference for meat. Although they have a measure of intelligence,
these creatures have no societal structure and do not often use
tools.
They nest in underground cliff-side caves and normally hunt their
prey by leaping down from ceilings or overhangs to rend targets
with their claws. When attacking as a pack, they turn into a
savage frenzy and become nearly suicidal.
Dire Corby Alpha

Alphas are the natural leaders of the dire corby pack. Not only are
physically stronger and larger, but they have also developed an
ear-splitting shriek that it uses constantly to distract and frighten
enemies, giving their hunting pack an opening for a killing strike.

Draegloths
Draegloth Abomination
Draegloth abominations are physically larger, stronger, and more
feral specimens compared to their kind. In addition, they also have
the ability to weave steel-like webbing from their smaller arms,
trapping hapless victims who are then ripped apart by their larger
clawed arms.
Draegloth War Caster

When young draegloths show signs of exceptional affinity to
magic, the drow take advantage and train them in both the martial
and arcane arts. Those that survive eventually become cunning
war casters that have the ability to cast and maintain spells while
simultaneously hacking at their enemies with their vicious claws.

Dracolisks
Dracolisk
The dreaded dracolisk is an extremely rare
crossbreed between a dragon and a basilisk.
The dracolisk appears at first glance like a typical
dragon, with its same chromatic skin and typical
batlike wings. However, it has three pairs of legs that
end with razor sharp claws.
Just like a dragon, the dracolisk has a breath weapon.
What makes it more dangerous is its deadly ability to
petrify opponents with its gaze just like a basilisk's.
Presented below are the stats of an ancient, adult,
and young dracolisk of the black dragon variety.

Dragons, Juvenile
Juvenile Dragons
Juvenile dragons range anywhere from 26 to 50 years old, and
are at the stage where they are now out in the wild and looking
to establish their own lair. Juveniles tend to travel far from their
parents’ lair to avoid encroaching in their territory. Adventurers
often mistake juveniles to be younger and weaker, and while
juveniles may not be as powerful as their adult brethren, they still
pose a threat considerable enough to be taken seriously.

Dragonne
A dragonne is a very rare subspecies
of dragon that appear to be a cross
between a lion and a dragon. An adult
dragonne is about 8 feet tall at the shoulder
and has a 16-foot long body of a lion covered
in either lion fur or dragon colored scales and
sporting a pair of dragon wings.
Territorial Predators. Dragonnes live in the
dense jungles and savannahs. They are very
territorial creatures but will also often let out
warning roars to scare would-be intruders.
Those that do not take heed, however, become
prey and are treated to the full brunt of the
dragonne’s roar, a thunderous rumble that
weakens the body and the mind, allowing the
dragonne to tear apart and rend its targets.

Dragonspawns
Dragonspawns
The deity Tiamat continuously seeks to escape its infernal prison
and return to the Prime Material Plane. To that end, it has
empowered its most gifted followers to create the Dragonspawn
from various beasts and monstrous eggs. These spawns of Tiamat
have a sliver of Tiamats’ power and are born to spread chaos and
destruction, and help prepare the deity's return.
Tiamat's Sentinels. Dragonspawn reach maturity in just a few
years, never reaching sizes bigger than Large, and leave the nest
to strike out on their own, preferring to stay in environments
similar to those favored by their parents. They nest with other
dragonspawn or even other races so long as they have the same
objectives. They are normally found in the company of Tiamat's
followers, such as the Cult of the Dragon and kobolds, often
serving as guards.
All dragonspawn are loyal to Tiamat’s cause and have adopted
Tiamat’s temperament when it comes to dealing with other races,
which is to say they look down on all non-Dragons and they hate
good-aligned Dragons with a vengeance.
Blackpawn Stalker
This nightmarish creature looks like a young black dragon whose
body has bloated into a spiders’ proportions. It has lost its wings
and in exchange has two spinneret tails that weave webbing, six
arachnid limbs and four pairs of eyes that glow a sickly yellow as it
hunts for prey.
The blackspawn stalker prefers to live in temperate swamps or
dark forests where they lay clutches of eggs in multiple locations
to increase chances of hatching.
Ambush Hunter. The blackspawn stalkers is an expert trap
hunter, spinning webs on the forest floor or the treetops to waylay
unsuspecting wanderers with. It then spits caustic webbing at
its prey to pin them down before lunging at them for a bite and
bludgeoning them with its tails.
Blackspawn Stalker Slay Foe (1/Turn). The blackspawn stalker deals an extra 13 (3d8)
damage with its weapon attack if it hits a creature that doesn't have
all its hit points.

Web Walker. The blackspawn stalker ignores movement restrictions

Blackspawn Crawler
The blackspawn crawler is the horrific combination of
a monstrous centipede and a black dragon. It has
the segmented multilegged body of a centipede,
with the head, horns, and fins of a wingless black
dragon. It lives underground beneath temperate
swamps, forests, and ruins. It will head to the
surface only to hunt for prey.
In combat, the blackspawn crawler will prioritize
constricting a target so it can't escape. It then tries to
finish it off with its poisonous bite, unless there
are other targets to fend off. In which case, it
will either use its acid breath or bite attacks against
them.
Bluespawn Ambusher
Ambushers are what blue dragons would look like
when compressed into the shape of a badger. They
stand 3 feet tall at the shoulder and measure 5 feet
in length and width. Their blue-scaled body, which
crackles with electricity, no longer have wings but have
adapted to burrowing under the ground.
Ambushers prefer to live in deserts and hunt in packs,
mainly by hiding under the sand to wait for prey to pass by.

Young Tempest
Young tempests are born of the most powerful lightning

young tempests are temperamental, and are prone to
unleashing torrential rains and punishing winds across all

Fire Giant Doomblade
Very rarely are there giants that show any affinity to arcane magic.
But those that do normally become warlocks that make pacts
with evil elder fire elementals such as Kossuth or Imix. Known
as doomblades, these giants use an array of spells and hexes to
weaken their foes before delivering death blows with a swift slash
of their mighty swords.

Golems
Bone Golem
A bone golem is a horrific combination of
giant-sized skeleton parts magically bolted and
sutured together to form a humanoid-shaped
figure about 9-feet tall. It has for four massive
skeletal arms, two of which hold giant-sized weapons.
In combat, the bone golem fights like a brute,
hacking at each foe with its weapons and pair of
oversized clubbed arms. Against large groups, the
bone golem can become a deadly machine, able to
charge in a straight line and spin its upper body
around at the same time, striking all targets
within reach of its arms and weapons.
Bone golems are often created by necromancers to
serve as guards and sentries as an extra precaution
against divine spellcasters that may be prepared against
their undead armies.

Hags
Elder Annis Hag

The elder annis hag has lived for centuries, prolonging her
unnatural life by preying on children and young virgins unnoticed,
growing stronger and more powerful. She rarely steps out of
from her lair deep within the dark forests of a high mountain,
sending only her minions, such as hill giants, ogres, and trolls, to
descend on nearby villages and towns to capture victims she can
torment and later feed on.
The elder annis hag has performed enough evil deeds to secure
ties with a dark deity, such as Cegilune. She has become the
deity's champion and agent, and has been gifted divine abilities to
continue her sinister work.

Elder Bheur Hag
The elder hag has acquired immeasurable power throughout
centuries, maintaining its life unnaturally by feasting on mortals.
It now wields an elder graystaff, a more powerful version of her
previous staff, which allows her to cast more spells. In addition,
she is able to emit a bloodchilling cackle that makes anyone
hearing it susceptible to her cold spells.

Black Hag
The black hag is a disgusting and horrid looking
monster. She has wild wiry hair that (thankfully)

grayish-black skin is riddled with warts and puss.
She prefers to live in the dark recesses of caves
in the gloomiest forests or most treacherous
swamps.

a worshiper of either Juiblex or Orcus, and is
normally found in the company of oozes, jellies,
puddings, and various undead creatures.
Claws of Death. The black hag has tough iron-

Elder Black Hag

The malevolent elder black hag reigns within its dark, twisted

oozes, and undead creatures.
Abyssal Servant. The elder black hag is powerful divine
spellcaster, drawing her powers from the abyssal demon princes.
In combat she unleashes an assortment of powerful necromantic
spells that can drain the life out of her foes. Her horrifying cackle
can strike paralyzing fear at the heart of even the bravest of
heroes.

Headless Horseman
Headless Horseman
No one truly knows where the legendary headless horseman
came from. It is commonly said though that the creature
first rose from the decapitated corpse of a disgraced knight
that was animated by a night hag. As part of the ritual to
bind it in servitude, the corpse’s head is kept and hidden by
the animator. What rises is an evil undead creature imbued
with the spirit of vengeance and destruction. The headless
horseman is a relentless avenger that will tirelessly hunt its
target. The headless horseman retains the armor it wore in life,
sans the helm. In place of its head is a jack o' lantern that burns
with abyssal fire.
Relentless Avenger. The headless horseman can be summoned
or controlled by its animator as long as it keeps possession
of the head. While the horseman is bound in servitude, it
must follow the commands of its animator without question.
A headless horseman that regains possession of its head will
immediately attack its animator until it is slain. If there are others
creatures the horseman still needs to seek vengeance on, it will
seek them out and kill them. Only after all are dead will it finally
return to rest.

Kobold Trapmaker
These wily kobolds are experts at crafting and setting traps and
are responsible for their tribe’s perimeter defense. Trapmakers
spend their lifetime mastering and perfecting their craft, and
those that do not blow themselves up or accidentally kill or maim
themselves eventually become highly prized tribe members.
Cunning Lurer. In combat, trapmakers are normally armed
with a both a dagger and a shortbow, with their blades and arrow
points tipped with venom. But they rarely use them except to draw
enemies' attention to lead them to their traps. They will never
engage in melee unless they really have to, always prefering to
deploy booby traps and making a hasty retreat.

Kruthiks
Kruthik Hive Queen
The kruthik hive queen is the overall master of all hives within its
territory, and is always attended to by 2-3 hive lords. It very rarely
leaves its main lair, preferring to stay within the hive as it spends
its time laying and watching over its eggs and commanding its hive
lords to manage its territory.
Battle Mistress. If forced into battle, the hive queen can become
a terrifying opponent. Like hive lords, it can stab with its razor-
sharp forelimbs, shoot iron-like spikes, or spew horrific amounts
of acid. In addition to these weapons, the hive queen can also
unleash its terrible tail stinger, which can instantly paralyze a
creature hit. The hive queen is also a shrewd tactician, able to call
other kruthiks to its side, or direct them to attack specific targets
of its choosing.

Maur (Hunched Giant)
Maur (Hunched Giant)

Maurs, also known as hunched giants, are rumored to be
the devolved cousins of Storm Giants that have been
trapped millions of years ago deep in the Underdark. The
harsh, cramped, and tight spaces of subterranean life
has transformed them into hunched, stoop-shouldered
caricatures of their former greatness and their skin and
hair pasty white. Unless there is actual space to stand
up, these 15-foot tall giants are always hunched over and
scraping their knuckles on the floor.
Unfurled Might. Maurs are armed with stone-mail and
stone weapons, and they decorate their skin by scarring
glyphs onto it. They typically set up ambush by melding into
stone, wait for their intended targets to pass by them, before
launching an assault with their stone warhammer. If faced with
difficult foes and there is a large enough space in the area, they
can unfurl, stretch, and stand in a process that can be seen as
intensely painful. Once fully upright, the Maurs are better able to
leverage their strength and spell capabilities to their maximum
potential. Due to their evolved physiology however, they are
unable to maintain an upright position for a long period of time
and must return to their hunched form as soon as they can.
Symbiotic Giants. Maurs are only encountered in the
Underdark, and unless forced, never leave it. They are
very rarely encountered in large groups, and, due to the
challenges they have with their size, they work and create
symbiotic relationships with smaller intelligent races such
as duergar, grimlocks, svirfneblin, and troglodytes to serve as
guards in exchange for food and treasure.

Meazel Thug
Some meazels are thugs that congregate and form packs for
the purpose of having strength in numbers. This allows them to
successfully attack groups instead of just single targets.
Meazel thugs are often hired to kill or kidnap a specific target. In
such cases, the thugs will try to create a distraction, engage any
guards, divert attention, and sow confusion before grabbing the
target and taking it back to the Shadowfell.

Ulitharid Mastermind
An ulitharid mastermind is an extremely brilliant tactician,
schemer, and manipulator. It does its work behind the scenes,
secretly instructing its minions and underlings to do the dirty,
hands-on tasks, while also influencing other powerful beings,
such as other ulitharid and illithids, to work towards its goals,
knowingly or unknowingly.
Paranoid Schemer. Due to its nature, an ulitharid mastermind
is very careful in its actions, for fear that the elder brain will find it
a threat, and end its life early. Because of this, it is very paranoid
and tends to get rid of any loose ends, consuming their brains to
leave no trace of evidence that the elder brain might discover.

Ulitharid Supreme
The most powerful ulitharid is given the title of Supreme and acts
as the right hand of the illithid colony's elder brain. It rarely leaves
the safety of its colony, preferring to act as the ulitharid’s leader in
an administrative function.
If it does have to leave, it is always accompanied by a couple
of lesser ulitharids and more than a dozen illithid bodyguards.
However, this is more for show than necessity, as the ulitharid
supreme is very capable of defending itself, even against powerful
foes, such as high level adventurers or giths.
Constant Threat. Despite how loyal it is to the elder brain, the
ulitharid supreme knows that it has grown too much in power and
will be recognized as a threat by the elder brain and its minions.
It will thus prepare for contingencies, either to escape and break
off from the colony, or to destroy and replace the elder brain as the
colony's new leader.

Neogi
Neogi Great Old Master

Great old masters are huge, bloated neogi at the end of its life
cycle, having been injected with toxin by other neogi. In very rare

the toxin instead slowly transforms the creature into a feral, egg-
infested abomination with renewed unnatural strength.

Neothelid
Adolescent and Young Neothelid
These failed ilithids experience the struggle for survival the
moment they are born, having to escape the clutches of adult mind
flayers that seek to eliminate it. Adolescent neothelids tend to stay
away from populated areas, preferring to live in the Underdark
wilds, preying on natural wildlife and the occasional solitary
humanoid it might come across, such as a dire corby, drow, or
troglodyte. As it gets older and becomes a young neothelid, it finds
refuge in the deep recesses of old purple worm tunnels. Here it
begins hunting larger prey like grells or hook horrors.

Nightshade
Nightshades are extremely powerful undead creatures
that seek to destroy all life. They are native to the
Negative Plane and occassionally can also be found
lurking in the Shadowfell. The dreaded Nightwalker is a
type of Nightshade.
Undead Nature. All nightshades don't require air, food,
drink, or sleep.
In this section, three other nightshades are introduced:

the nightcrawler, nightprowler, and the nightwing.
Nightcrawler
A nightcrawler at first glance resembles a
nightmarish purple worm, but is jet black in color
and oozes an insidious presence. It is in fact
one of the mightiest undead creatures that ever
existed. Its giant coiled body constantly emits a
shadowy aura that causes living organisms to rot
and decay.
Ambush Burrowers. The nightcrawler normally
burrows underground and attacks from underneath its
prey. Its huge maw, which is lined with rows of long, sharp
teeth, bursts from the ground and tries to swallow its
target whole. Creatures rarely survive this initial horrific
assault, and those that do still have to contend with the
nightcrawler's finger of doom and annihilating aura.

Life Eater. A creature reduced to 0 hit points from damage dealt by
the nightcrawler dies and can't be revived by any means short of a
wish spell.

Nightprowler
The nightprowler is the most common type of nightshade and also
relatively the weakest. Yet it will still pose a threat to most mortals
due to its nightshade traits.
The nightprowler resembles a creature that has a vaguely
humanoid upper body and a lower body of a large feline. It has
a single eye at the center of its otherwise featureless face, and
shadowy tendrils and smoke constantly swirls around its body.
Nightwing
A nightwing resembles a giant shadowy bat with wingspan of 40
feet. Black mists can be seen trailing from its body as it scours the
skies of the Negative Plane constantly looking for prey.
The nightwing attacks by performing hit and run tactics,
swooping in to make a quick bite and flying again before giving the
victim a chance to retaliate.

Nilbog, Greater
Greater Nilbog
It is already known that when goblinoids form a host, there is a
chance that a goblin will become possessed by a nilbog. However,
when a particular goblin jester has suffered greatly under the
hands of other goblinoids, there is a small chance that a far
deadlier and more sinister spirit possesses the goblin.
Unlike the typical nilbog, this greater version has more potent
spell-like abilities and is able to control foes that it has charmed
and sometimes even have them fully take an attack intended
against the greater nilbog.

Clever Bullies. Verbeeg are clever and are rarely encountered

of giant-kin such as ogres, hill giants, and trolls, and forcing and
manipulating them to do the heavy lifting - such as fighting, as they
stay behind relative safety.
Verbeeg often establish lairs in underground caves, dungeons,
and abandoned castles. They mostly worship the evil giant gods,
such as Grolantor and Vaprak. Among its leaders and unique

Wendigo
Wendigo
A wendigo is a dreadful fey spirit that haunts cold temperate
forests and desolate tundras. It is often mistaken for an undead
or lycanthrope due to its appearance and its insatiable craving for
humanoid flesh.
Bestial Horror. The wendigo appears as a gaunt horrid-looking
9-foot tall humanoid with an emaciated elk's head with antlers.
Its foul body is covered with dark matted hair that is stained with
blood. Its unnaturally long arms end in vicious claws and its
mouth is ridged with sharp teeth.
Ravenous Spirit. The wendigo was once an evil humanoid
that hunted and preyed on its own kind, surviving as a cannibal
for most of its life while living alone in the wilderness. Such
a creature will attract the attention of the Queen of Air and
Darkness or Malar the Beastlord. Before the creature's death, the
deity it gained favor from bestows upon it a gift, or rather a curse,
which transforms the creature into the ravenous wendigo. This
allows the creature to continue what it did in its previous life, for
eternity.

Yuan-Ti
Yuan-ti Anathema Ascendant

The most powerful of its twisted kind, the ascendant is a rare
anathema that has gained vast amounts of power through
sacrifices, rituals, and combat – power it believes is enough for it
to be a demigod.
While most anathema live outside yuan-ti colonies and are only
sought out by fanatical worshipers, ascendants are welcomed
in fear and reverence as a leader and as a deity. These devious
beings are still on the path to godhood, and will not hesitate to use
its worshipers as fodder in battle or as sacrifices in its rituals.
Ascendants have also gained near-immortality, able to regenerate
lost limbs and heal wounds in a matter of minutes.

Yuan-ti Ignan
An ignan is a rare fire-based subtype of yuan-ti that
can be found in hot climates and volcanoes.
In combat, the brutish ignan prefers to fight with
its melee attacks, gleefully crushing enemies with
its mace, horns, and constricting tail. But when
outnumbered, an ignan will not hesitate to use its
fireball spell.
The yuan-ti often use ignan as guardians in temples

Yuan-ti Mageslayer
Yuan-ti mageslayers are trained to fight and counter enemy
spellcasters. They can anticipate and read spellcaster actions,
such as somatic movement, and can strike them to break their
concentration.
A yuan-ti war party or set of guards will always have at least one
mageslayer with them.
Yuan-ti Spy
Yuan-ti spies take the form of their enemies and entrench
themselves within enemy territory. Aside from gathering intel,
they are sometimes employed to assassinate key targets. In such
missions, they always employ poison, sneaking it in the food and
drink that the target will ingest.
They always avoid combat, and will only fight if escape is not an
option.
Yuan-ti Templar
Templars are the unholy warrior priests of Sseth. These armored
yuan-ti carry a morning star and a long bow into battle, while
wielding divine spells to tip the battle in their favor. Able melee

accurate guided strike – which it often uses against heavily

a 12-foot tall bipedal bear with bat-like wings
sprouting from their backs and terrible eagle-
like talons for hands.
In combat, they prefer to tear their opponents
to shreds with their bites and talons. If facing
challenging opponents, they can use their
devastating fire breath. In addition to these
abilities, they are able to employ spells that
can snuff light, confuse opponents, and dispel
enemy magic. This kind of versatility and
power makes the ursaloths highly sought after,
and very expensive, guardians.

Cultists of Orcus
Of all of the demon lords of the Abyss, Orcus, the Demon Prince of
Undeath, claims the largest amount of followers. It has therefore
spawned scores of cults with diversified objectives, but all fall
under three major doctrines.
Necromantic Practitioners. The first one is mastery of
necromancy, which is the most common type of cult of Orcus.
Members of this type of cult are mages and priests who seek
power over mortality, utilizing undead minions to further their
goals and aspirations.
Undead Master Race. The second doctrine is the support of
undeath or power over the living. Majority of its members are
undead themselves and seek to add more to its ranks while those
who live use the remainder of their mortal lives to infiltrate and
set up shop in major cities to establish a steady source of fresh
bodies. Members of these types of cults are undead that require
sustenance, knowledge, or the arts, such as vampires and liches,
and other intelligent undead.
Insane Nihilists. The third most common doctrine is the true
goal of Orcus, which is to seek an end to all life in the cosmos,
replacing the living with undead who serve only him. Cult
members of this type are mostly insane, deranged, and suicidal.
Those that work in large groups carry out mass murders,
attacking small villages and hamlets, while those that work in
smaller groups or individually, operate like serial killers and hide
in plain sight within bustling and thriving cities.
Deathpriests. Majority of divine spellcasters who worship Orcus,
no matter the doctrine, call themselves deathpriests. Blessed by
the Prince of Undeath, they are able to cast necromantic spells
that are normally only available to arcane spellcasters.

when you cast this spell are enshrouded in shadowy tendrils and have
advantage on all saving throws against spells cast by good-aligned
creatures and creatures have disadvantage on attack rolls against
them until the spell ends. In addition, when an attacker hits an
affected creature with a melee attack, the attacker must succeed on a
Constitution saving throw or the attacker's Strength score is reduced
by 1d4. The attacker dies if this reduces its Strength to 0. Otherwise,
the reduction lasts until the target finishes a Short or Long rest.

You imbue a weapon you touch with unholy power. Until the spell
ends, the weapon shimmers with a dark, pulsating purplish aura.
In addition, weapon attacks made with it deal an extra 2d8 necrotic
damage on a hit. If the weapon isn't already a magic weapon, it
becomes one for the duration. As a bonus action on your turn,
you can dismiss this spell and cause the weapon to emit a burst
of necrotic energy. Each creature of your choice that you can
see within 30 feet of you must make a Constitution
saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 4d8
necrotic damage, and gains 1 level of exhaustion. On a
successful save, a creature takes half as much damage.

A nonmagical wall of solid slone springs into
existence at a point you choose within range.
The wall is 6 inches thick and is composed of
ten 10-foot-by-10-foot panels. Each panel must
be contiguous with alleast one other panel.
Alternatively, you can create 10-foot-by-10-foot
panels that are only 3 inches thick.
If the wall cuts through a creature's space
when it appears, the creature is pushed
to one side of the wall (your choice). lf a
creature would be surrounded on all sides
by the wall (or the wall and another solid surface),
that creature can make a Dexterity saving throw. On a
success, it can use its reaction to move up to its speed so
that it is no longer enclosed by the wall.

nto the Dragon’s Maw is an exciting five to six hour D&D 5E
adventure for characters of 4th to 6th level but can be easily
adjusted for a lower or higher level party. It is originally
designed to be used with the Tyranny of Dragons campaign but can
be easily adapted to any setting.
The party must race to an abandoned Cult of the Dragon lair to
stop a rogue wizard from unleashing an evil artifact. They soon
discover and remember that not all things are what they seem.
The adventure unfolds in a unique way that builds up to a
shocking “M Night Shyamalan” kind of twist and an incredible
climactic ending!
