I love these initiatives. I’m considering whether or not I should reintroduce some Allips and Bodaks into my campaign as they’re already some of the more interesting undead in the mid-CR range
I've got a whole free book of undead coming out in a month or so, so keep an eye out! It's absolutely packed with stuff in the CR 5-11 range
* [Allip](https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/1KLFsTfW9QWc1Hv1WmM9Vec1XDGowYWCP1Vcu38FagX3v)
* [Bodaks](https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/1JP0Ai6A3uqw_yn3YlVAtX_lh0JqLF7YAKXHuq3Y-yPc3)
If you take suggestions, I’d suggest giving Allips proficiency with the Arcana skill to represent the kind of person that is likely to seek out the type of knowledge that would drive them to their fate.
On your Allip, the side text reads, "... then use their Maddening Touch on a single creature repeatedly until it is reduced to 0 Wisdom." But this is your Maddening Touch: "**Maddening Touch**. Melee Spell Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 17 (4d6 + 3) psychic damage and the target's Wisdom score is reduced by 2 (1d4) for the next minute, to a minimum of 1."
Don't get me wrong, I appreciate what you've done with it, just seemed like a minor conflict. I assume the side text should read, "reduced to 1 Wisdom."
Quick note about the bodak mind killer. Its soul drain has DC13 compared to every other DC of 16. I would personally lower it to 15 because of how likely it is to outright drop multiple individuals without proficiency per turn
The base rakshasa is really good at escaping combat, but not much else. These ones hopefully feel a bit more mastermind-y:

How about a purple worm? I was trying to homebrew a worm farmer to be its master, got anything that will fit those. Plus the worm is in its lair. Thanks! The previous posts have some great improvements
Alright, I've seen your builds from the other people here. You're obviously pretty good at this, so I think you could do this one justice.
A shepherd druid that gave up his druid oath in order to gain the immortality of a lich.
I tried just giving the lich some druid spells, but it seems like I'm just phoning it in.
Got any ideas?
I'm kind of partway through reworking this right now, but the Baelnorn is basically a druid-lich if you want to check that out:

Hey, question for you. I saw on your Patreon that you had foundryvtt integration with your monsters. I'm not super familiar with Patreon, or foundry for that matter. If I subscribe, how does that work? Do I need to install a module with a key, or download something and manually add it to foundry, or something else?
I’m doing a campaign centered around a biological zombie apocalypse and have been using the standard stat block with an additional infection mechanic. I am worried about keeping combat interesting and varied in the long term.

I want to use more of the swarm type monsters I my games but most of them seem to be for extremely low level play.
Any options in that mega brain for some more interesting swarm enemies for mid to late game?
Hey, sorry if it's a lot, but can you hit me with everything you have related to Dragons? Like, all chromatic and metallic dragons, drakes, wyverns, stuff from Fizban's if you've done that too, I'm running Tyranny of Dragons (more or less, it's really modified) with higher leveled PCs and I need monsters with a bit more kick.
Thanks you.

I'm preparing a campaign. There will be a lot of creature I'll need to rework. Maybe you can help.
Aboleth
Nothic

Thanks in advance!
I've got all the aberrations here except the gauth in this free book:

Exactly what I needed with the aboleth and nothic. Your spextator venerable sage will actually fit my theme better than the modified gauth I was thinking about!
Your take on thugs and Flameskull will also be very fun to play!

Got any Devils, Zombies or Skeletons? Upgraded Versions of the Undead work, too.
An upcoming dungeon will feature Devil worshippers who paid the ultimate price and then some. Thanks!
We definitely need cooler giants. I dislike sacks of hitpoints that deal damage and not much else. I’m interested in your take on the concept, wether it be all the types or just “giant” as a core thing.
Yeah, I'm into the auto-crits, but not so much into stun-locking players out of the game. Here's what I ended up doing for ghouls:

I seem to recall there was a monster whose lore either literally indicated it was an advanced alien species, or could that information could easily be inferred.
I love things like that. Hails back to my Might & Magic days.
Hmm, plenty of advanced alien species tooling around the forgotten realms, like uvuudaum, spirraxes, neogi, mind flayers, aboleths, githyanki, etc. Is that the kind of thing you were thinking of, or something more like lore indicating that halfings are the descendants of a failed alien colony?
One of my players is about to face an interactive nightmare in a one-on-one session and I thought about having her fight a few shadows since I like them as a low CR monster that's still frightening with their strength-reducing attacks, but I'm curious to see what else you can come up with, since I like the thematic idea of a faceless monster, but I'm not entirely convinced with their abilities.
Thanks for asking for them! I'm really happy with how these turned out and excited to share :D

So last session I shifted to using your monsters and got by far the best combat ever had in 3 years.
2 things I don't understand.
Your minion ogres, they are meant to die after one hit, they seem to give a ton of xp for that no? AC 11 360 xp for something that dies almost instantly seems strange.
Lower CR orcs have more hit points that ogres this seems unexpected too.
Anyway to say I love your work is an understatement.
Wow, thanks! I use MCDM's [minion rules](https://files.mcdmproductions.com/FleeMortals/FleeMortalsPreview.pdf), so essentially 5 minion ogres are meant to count as a single CR 5 monster for purposes of balancing, which is where the XP comes from.
Minions require a little DM discretion to incorporate smoothly into a world; something like an ogre minion should really only come in at a level where ogres are no longer frightening and one-shotting one feels plausible, otherwise you invite immersion-breaking comparisons.
Here's some skeletons you could pull ideas from:
* [Skeletons](https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/1BPiqQxruIyXi_F3fjhK2L3mL_wXXz4KNwwx8AHLNOu0U)

Thanks for this OP if you do get round to it.
Hey, I’m about to run a desert campaign after being inspired by Dune, and I wanted to surprise my players with some cool desert monsters. Do you happen to have any Porcupine Cactus statblocks or other updated desert creatures? Thanks!
The nightwalker is maybe my favourite monster on paper that doesn't translate too well into feeling badass at the table.
There's this wonderful interplay between it and the Necromancer wizard's level 14 ability to permanently take control of an undead creature. It requires a charisma save which the nightwalker is terrible at, and then it's intelligence is low enough that the control is permanent and it has no legendary resistances I honestly consider this a feature of the creature. I also adore the lore that a nightwalker appears when a creature enters the negative energy plane.
The party is going to fall into a pit with water rising in it. In the water is some kind of tentacle/tendril type creature that attacks from the water. Party is 4 characters at level 11. What is a good enemy or custom stats for this creature?
Thank you!
Nothic, spectator? I’m looking for ones that could give a group of 4 level 3 characters a decent challenge, since they slaughtered the CR4 assassin I gave them the other night and barely took any damage (they rolled well, I rolled badly lol).
I've got two spectator variants in here and three nothics:

Low key have been searching for you to see if you made one of these recently XD.
I feel like I remember you sharing a link to multiple dragons. Is there a place with all (/at least matallic and chromatic, I think gems are fine as is) the dragons in one place that i could just save?
If not, the one I'm looking for at the moment is Bronze.
Haha, "Avatar of Peace" is a tough theme to build a combat stat block around, but I think I managed reasonably well:

Oh Hi Mark,
may I ask for your guidance on the most magical creatures to troll my party of 6 Level 7 Players.
A group of "Nilbog's" hunting (your) Giant Boars.
Thank you so much as always!

I love these initiatives. I’m considering whether or not I should reintroduce some Allips and Bodaks into my campaign as they’re already some of the more interesting undead in the mid-CR range
I've got a whole free book of undead coming out in a month or so, so keep an eye out! It's absolutely packed with stuff in the CR 5-11 range * [Allip](https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/1KLFsTfW9QWc1Hv1WmM9Vec1XDGowYWCP1Vcu38FagX3v) * [Bodaks](https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/1JP0Ai6A3uqw_yn3YlVAtX_lh0JqLF7YAKXHuq3Y-yPc3)
If you take suggestions, I’d suggest giving Allips proficiency with the Arcana skill to represent the kind of person that is likely to seek out the type of knowledge that would drive them to their fate.
That's not a bad idea, given their lore
On your Allip, the side text reads, "... then use their Maddening Touch on a single creature repeatedly until it is reduced to 0 Wisdom." But this is your Maddening Touch: "**Maddening Touch**. Melee Spell Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 17 (4d6 + 3) psychic damage and the target's Wisdom score is reduced by 2 (1d4) for the next minute, to a minimum of 1." Don't get me wrong, I appreciate what you've done with it, just seemed like a minor conflict. I assume the side text should read, "reduced to 1 Wisdom."
Thanks! I shifted the way it worked after playtesting and forgot to change the tactics
What is the Bodak frightened of? Or does it just ignore the part that requires it to move away from the source?
Quick note about the bodak mind killer. Its soul drain has DC13 compared to every other DC of 16. I would personally lower it to 15 because of how likely it is to outright drop multiple individuals without proficiency per turn
My big bad is a Rakshasa. How would you buff him?
The base rakshasa is really good at escaping combat, but not much else. These ones hopefully feel a bit more mastermind-y: * [Rakshasas](https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/1_iWBN79MDJay_7l6i5yuxtKw_AlKBezYsediJvwvHSSC)
Oh that's fast. Very nice
hell yes i also wanted this one!
How about a purple worm? I was trying to homebrew a worm farmer to be its master, got anything that will fit those. Plus the worm is in its lair. Thanks! The previous posts have some great improvements
* [Purple Worm](https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/ia4_vJLct-Y1) * [Century Worm](https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/10WTDFO5SRDmh0x9l8mj-aT_aF0Dce-Kpk_hn68Pftw5j)
Love the century worm
Hell yeah!! That’s awesome!
Alright, I've seen your builds from the other people here. You're obviously pretty good at this, so I think you could do this one justice. A shepherd druid that gave up his druid oath in order to gain the immortality of a lich. I tried just giving the lich some druid spells, but it seems like I'm just phoning it in. Got any ideas?
I'm kind of partway through reworking this right now, but the Baelnorn is basically a druid-lich if you want to check that out: * [Liches](https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/1yuf-qJIezBp6amETuOSghf_TIx07ESI2dh5QrfxJEh_m)

Ive always been disappointed with hags. They feel too basic to fill the "evil which" role
These mostly still need art and lore, but are hopefully evil and witchy enough for you: * [Sea Hags](https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/1MqT4vEvOqmBe2L1yZP2_44zvG043fa73rEdFIIh5cUD-) * [Annis Hags](https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/1qveUEu-l0wZYv_-7mWqIdJxGkMYUB9sX1t34BWP1NCBi) * [Bheur Hags](https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/1M2ZhfJa65koXC-MV_hhHq3qvIvhOyEbIxU2ppQgvr4Lb) * [Green Hags](https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/1ZlVta0x66Ydvk8ptKcjxCqcf6z_aOe88dSPpbhiHwnYm) * [Night Hags](https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/1AxNZg_E9h7IDaiZ86DCE_vSGcY5E2KMa0xZsOIE-eIsl)
The thing about these is that they’re amazing and perfect and I love them. Do you ever stop to think how many “holy shit, the monster did WHAT?” moments you’ve inspired at tables around the world?
Haha, I have a terrible memory so I get have those moments myself when I go back and look at things I've made.
Plan on having a roc in a coming session, would be interested to see what you can do. For context, it's stealing merchants wagons
I always thought the fun of a roc fight was the monster being the battlefield: * [Roc](https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/1uBhzHjD6aCBCe6mYO0kigPmRcBm7KESsiS1bo3txnsdo)
That is genius
Personally I always liked the Lizardfolk from earlier editions, to see how basic they've become now makes me sad.
I'm probably gonna bulk these out with a few more variants eventually, but here's what I've got for now: * [Lizardfolk](https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/15ulVXfIY3UZHRuEIsOoEJdngXFujVz9OLBonjR8dz8Zt) * [Troglodytes](https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/11bpZd9jEEvgrJfBVdZpKJ1hn4bcMYqxrzp4mZj9O0D0W)
Awesome! The cold blooded addition is a great idea.
I look forward to seeing what you can pull of with a Revenant. Hopefully I'll get some inspiration for the one I'm running on the 11th.
I've got a few of those, plus a supplement I did based on the album The Revenant King by Visigoth: * [Revenants](https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/VjcNHyctSqSS) * [The Revenant King](https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/-HlSZiJM3mZH)

Hey, question for you. I saw on your Patreon that you had foundryvtt integration with your monsters. I'm not super familiar with Patreon, or foundry for that matter. If I subscribe, how does that work? Do I need to install a module with a key, or download something and manually add it to foundry, or something else?
I’m doing a campaign centered around a biological zombie apocalypse and have been using the standard stat block with an additional infection mechanic. I am worried about keeping combat interesting and varied in the long term.
I've got a whole mess of zombies, including an apocalypse-plague one! * [Zombies](https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/1H-v56SCMOyK58yUUoTL_SiTL2PGGqqXd-cAwwkaCLE-n)
Some DM's reskin Ghasts, Ghouls, and Blights to diversify their zombie apocalypse bestiary, if you have some of those at hand, too?
How about Auril the Frostmaiden? Running Rime of the Frostmaiden soon and found the statblock to be a bit underwhelming
Oh, I just got a version of her ready last week: * [Auril the Frostmaiden](https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/V1cSWHWNQAC8)

Hey, sorry if it's a lot, but can you hit me with everything you have related to Dragons? Like, all chromatic and metallic dragons, drakes, wyverns, stuff from Fizban's if you've done that too, I'm running Tyranny of Dragons (more or less, it's really modified) with higher leveled PCs and I need monsters with a bit more kick.

I seem to recall there was a monster whose lore either literally indicated it was an advanced alien species, or could that information could easily be inferred. I love things like that. Hails back to my Might & Magic days.
Hmm, plenty of advanced alien species tooling around the forgotten realms, like uvuudaum, spirraxes, neogi, mind flayers, aboleths, githyanki, etc. Is that the kind of thing you were thinking of, or something more like lore indicating that halfings are the descendants of a failed alien colony?
One of my players is about to face an interactive nightmare in a one-on-one session and I thought about having her fight a few shadows since I like them as a low CR monster that's still frightening with their strength-reducing attacks, but I'm curious to see what else you can come up with, since I like the thematic idea of a faceless monster, but I'm not entirely convinced with their abilities.

So last session I shifted to using your monsters and got by far the best combat ever had in 3 years. 2 things I don't understand. Your minion ogres, they are meant to die after one hit, they seem to give a ton of xp for that no? AC 11 360 xp for something that dies almost instantly seems strange. Lower CR orcs have more hit points that ogres this seems unexpected too. Anyway to say I love your work is an understatement.
Wow, thanks! I use MCDM's [minion rules](https://files.mcdmproductions.com/FleeMortals/FleeMortalsPreview.pdf), so essentially 5 minion ogres are meant to count as a single CR 5 monster for purposes of balancing, which is where the XP comes from. Minions require a little DM discretion to incorporate smoothly into a world; something like an ogre minion should really only come in at a level where ogres are no longer frightening and one-shotting one feels plausible, otherwise you invite immersion-breaking comparisons.
Damn it, Im late! Kobold vampire spawn.
Hey Mark, I can't remember, have you done Gnolls yet? Looking for some higher CR ones too. Got a party of nine level 7s to knock down a peg or six.

Hey, I’m about to run a desert campaign after being inspired by Dune, and I wanted to surprise my players with some cool desert monsters. Do you happen to have any Porcupine Cactus statblocks or other updated desert creatures? Thanks!
The nightwalker is maybe my favourite monster on paper that doesn't translate too well into feeling badass at the table. There's this wonderful interplay between it and the Necromancer wizard's level 14 ability to permanently take control of an undead creature. It requires a charisma save which the nightwalker is terrible at, and then it's intelligence is low enough that the control is permanent and it has no legendary resistances I honestly consider this a feature of the creature. I also adore the lore that a nightwalker appears when a creature enters the negative energy plane.
Veterans would be nice to have

Bit broad, but any creatures that would feasibly be employed by a dragon cult? Aside from actual, full dragons that is.
Low key have been searching for you to see if you made one of these recently XD. I feel like I remember you sharing a link to multiple dragons. Is there a place with all (/at least matallic and chromatic, I think gems are fine as is) the dragons in one place that i could just save? If not, the one I'm looking for at the moment is Bronze.
Oh, I've also got a subreddit r/bettermonsters where you can always drop a request if there isn't currently a thread up
