Feral Imp These impetuous and mischievous lesser fiends are considered the vermin of the Lower Planes. Undomesticated and especially nasty, they tend to follow demons and devils to the Material Plane before breaking away to cause as much havoc as possible. These are usually short holidays for the stoways, as a swift sword, crushing mace, or rather dangerous rolling pin, will often send them packing. Occasionally, a patron that is unimpressed or bored with their servants might send a Feral Imp in place a regular one during a Find Familiar ceremony. It soon becomes clear to the summoner that this creature is an awful familiar as it will refuse to follow orders, ransack packs and pockets for snacks, and verbally and physically abuse its summoner. This tends to be a great source of amusement for the patron, while also being a fitting punishment for their servant. 151 Feral Imp Medium fiend, Chaotic Neutral Armor Class 14 (Natural Armor) Hit Points 30(6d10) Speed 25ft., fly 30ft STR DEX CON INT WIS CHA 8 (-1) 16 (+3) 14 (+2) 12 (+2) 10 (+0) 9 (+0) Condition Immunities frightened Senses darkvision 60ft., passive Perception 15 Languages Abyssal Challenge 2 (450 XP) Actions Claws.

Ogre of the Black Shadow An ogre that is possessed by a shadow fiend creature. The powers of the dark have driven it crazy but also empowered it beyond any ogres physical capabilities. Nobody can rationalise with such a creature and only a few can withstand its rapid charge. Although its barely sentient, it fights with tact and brutallity at the same time. This creature will teleport towards the weakest combatant it can see and drain their strength until it falls. Then it will withdraw and attack at a later time if its opponents are superior in strength or numbers, or finish the job with the temporary boost gained thanks to its victim. 152 Ogre of the Black Shadow Large giant, chaotic evil Armor Class 13 Hit Points 71(10d8 + 21) Speed 40ft.

Jigen Bakudan Mechanus the great clockwork plane of Law is home to many strange creatures, the most plentiful being the modrons. However hidden deep within its inner workings lies hidden chambers full of constructs designed to be activated when Mechanus is under great threat. Living Law Magic Jigen Bakudans are powered by ancient law magic making them capable of absorbing magic channelled in their presence. This helps power their in built magic drives which can call upon this law magic to summon aid, restore their physical forms, cast it's own spells or even at their most power create pure antimagic fields to maintain order. Jigen Bakudans were primarily designed to sap the magic of any being forcing its way into Mechanus however over time this ancient order made them see even friendly beings as too Chaotic, too likely to disturbe the perfect order they are forever driven to create. Thus most were sealed away only to be called upon if the forces of law seek to defend themselves from or remove the forces of chaos. Unbreakable Methods The Jigen Bakudans are themselves bound by the law magic that gives them power. As such they must fight in very specific ways based on their accumulated energies. A dial inbuilt into their heads was designed to allow other modron and allies to monitor what they are capable of doing in that moment to adjust their fighting style accordingly, unfortunately this also allows enemies to learn through observation to abuse this. Try as they might Jigan Bakudan cannot break their orders and must follow these specific fighting ways even when it disadvantages them. 153 Jigen Bakudan Small Construct, lawful neutral Armor Class 14 (natural armor) Hit Points 58(8d6 + 26) Speed 0ft.

Sangan S angans are what forms when an animal from the material plane becomes lost in the other planes. The scholars that study them argue on whether it was the creatures from those planes that twisted them or the nature of the planes themselves, however they do all agree that whichever it was the feral Sangans left behind have no memories of what they once were. What Once Were Beasts While none of their memories from before they became Sangan remain they retain many of the instincts of the creatures they once were. If found in the wild they form packs where they will hunt in groups to take down larger creatures and quickly consume it's corpse bones and all; a pack of 10 Sangan will devour an entire elk corpse within a day. They are much more vicious than a normal animal resisting any attempt to placate them once they become aggressive. The only way to avoid a pack of these creatures is to go somewhere they can't follow or provide them with a source of easier prey. Mutated By Other Forces Sangan have an amalgamated form of many creatures found in the material plane, with scaled arms and legs end in claws more fitting a wolf or large cat. Their eyes have slit like pupils like a snakes though they have an additional one high on their forehead. While these traits would suggest a reptilian origin of the creatures their main body is covered in thick brown fur and their teeth are almost wolf like. It is this strange combination of features that are nearly identical across all Sangan that lead some to believe that there is a particular creature out in the further planes that is twisting these creatures on purpose, though what the use of these feral beasts could be is hard to tell. A Call to fight Sangans strange mutations go beyond their appearance, despite their low intelligence the creature work with each other quite well and have developed a very distinct defence mechanism. When slain the Sangan release a scream that causes primal rage within nearby creatures, causing them to charge to it's location and attack the creature that killed the Sangan. Yet outside of this dying breath the Sangans seems unable to produce anything near the level of this scream, nor do they posses the intelligence to make use of it if they could. Despite this adventurers often avoid attacking these creature even when found by themselves lest they summon a swarm of allies. 154 Sangan Small beast, neutral evil Armor Class 14 Hit Ponts 31(5d10 + 3) Speed 60ft.

Saggi the Dark Clown Saggi was firstly created as an illusion to attract attention away from the caster. The ritual required flesh materials, the caster casted the spell again and again due to his useful nature, but one day the spell didn't fade away. The spell was permanent. Saggi was given life and a name through the caster's magic that repeated this spell again and again. Saggi roams as a clown - jester and collects flesh every now and then to create more of its kind. Dark Clowns, being a common phobia, are frequent appearances in The Shadowfell Plane thanks to the original Saggi the Dark Clown who created many in his image. The nature of their origin is disputed but their tactics are even more erratic and confusing. Despite carrying no visible equipment these creatures can always be relied upon to have the most convenient and cruel weapons in hand. Giant scissors when you are scaling a rope, a vial of poison when you are cooking a stew. Some say that your very insecurities and worries arm Dark Clowns. Just like deep seated fears they are also incredibly resilient and difficult to remove. Dark Clowns under pressure have been known to teleport, disappear, rearrange their anatomies and spray ink and noxious gas from their wounds. Some find Dark Clowns terrifying, some repulsive and even the most stouthearted and fearless of Adventurers find them at the very least extremely irritating. 155 Saggi the dark clown Medium Human, Chaotic Neutral Armor Class 17 Hit Points 45(5d10) Speed 30ft.

Centaur Mages Through the worship of Hoovaldi, the centaur goddess of knowledge and astronomy, Centaur mages are born. A centaur must be born under the correct star pattern to be chosen to by Hoovaldi, and even then only a select few centaurs are chosen to wield her power. Those that have been selected are granted Star Tears by the goddess herself, signifying their worthiness. The mages that wield Star Tears are incredibly gifted and talented spellcasters, and normally given positions of power within their tribe. The centaur mages use their power to benefit their tribe in anyway they can, from crafting magical armor and weaponry for their brethren to hiding their encampment in fog from would-be attackers. However, there is one mage who stands above the rest. Chiron, one of the oldest of the Centaur Mages, has tapped deeper into the mystical arts than any centaur before him. He wields a staff studded with Star Tears, and his tribe reveres him as their savior. His people participate in vast rituals with Chiron as the centerpiece, trusting that he will use the magic they have helped amass for the right reasons. One of the more notable facts about Chrion and his tribe is their nomadic nature. Whereas most Centaurs prefer to roam one forest, the tribe of Chrion brings the forest with them. Whenever Chiron’s tribe decides to settle for any period of time, Chiron uses his magic to sprout an enchanted forest throughout the area. The forest is created to ward off trespassers, and will physically combat any invaders. However, it is well known that Chiron has a soft spot for cosmic knowledge, and will let outsiders into this forest if they have information or artifacts he may be interested in. 156

The Mystic Horseman The Mystic Horsemen were the result of Centaurs that they took part in the teaching of the Arcane arts. As the Centaurs tried to defend the forest from fiends and other magical creatures, they discovered that they were many foes that they just couldn’t touch. They asked the help of Dryads to initiate them into fighting their new foes. Dryads obliged and assisted their Centaur allies into teaching them of the Arcane arts and providing information on their new foes. Mystic Horsemen were deployed at the flanks for surprise attacks to confident enemies and break their morale. They also served as healers and the oldest among them in frequent occasions became tribe leaders. 158 Mystic Horseman Large monstrosity, Neutral Good Armor Class 13 Hit Points 45 (6d10 + 12) Speed 50ft.

Rabid Horseman Rabid Horsemen are ruthless creatures, they descent from Centaurs however they were pushed to take part into a Demonic ritual to enhance their powers as the invaders were becoming more brutal and their numbers were increasing. The Rabid Horsemen were very powerful but most of them got mad with fury and pain. They were kept among the Centaur ranks for some time, however their evil nature was soon revealed. Centaurs cast them out and some even died as they turned on the other Centaurs. This ritual was forbidden, however the knowledge was there and the easy way to grow in strength was there too. 159 Rabid Horseman Large Fiend, Chaotic Evil Armor Class 17 (half plate armor) Hit Points 110 (13d10 + 39) Speed 50ft.

Predatory Moths R anging from the infant Petit Moth, all the way up to the queen of the colony, the Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth, these territorial moths are known to attack any who wander into their nest, as well as isolated animals and people to feed their young. Aging Insects. Starting as small larvae, these creatures begin as ravenous omnivores, eating anything and everything in preparation for their transformation. The creatures devour all food that is brought to them up until three months after their birth. Around this stage, the Petit Moths make a cocoon in which they begin transforming. If the Petit Moth didn't store enough nutrients, or is pulled from the cocoon prematurely, a Larvae Moth is born. Not fully formed, constantly hungry, and unable to attempt it's metamorphosis again, many Larvae Moth are killed by the colony to become food for the next batch of Petits that hatch. If a cocoon is left undisturbed, the creature emerges as a Great Moth after a month of sleep. With newfound wings and lacking the mouth of it's prior infancy, Great Moths turn towards liquids to sustain it's new form, using it's large, hornlike proboscis to suck nutrients from plants, dung, and liquids. Whatever a Great Moth is unable to absorb, it melts with acid to the point of liquefaction. When a colony lacks a queen, one cocoon is chosen to be given extra nutrients. As the queen sleeps in her cocoon, the Great Moths work diligently in gathering additional food, frequently bringing living creatures back to the colony to feed on. As the Great Moths feast, they insert their horns directly into the Queen's cocoon, forcing extra nutrients into the still sleeping child. The queen takes an extra month to burn through all the extra food during it's sleep, and eventually awakens as a oversized Great Moth, frequently refered to as the Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth. Petit Moths Petit Moths are the infants of the Predatory Moth line. At this stage of life, these moths are little more than mindless beasts, attacking creatures regardless of threat. A Petit Moth will not flee from a battle, fighting until it is dead, or it's prey is killed. Sequestered Upbringing. Petit Moths are housed separately from the rest of the colony, placed in holes. This is to keep Petit Moths from wandering off on their own to find food, frequently getting themselves in danger. If a Petit Moth does escape the confines it was held in, it will wander aimlessly in search of food until the creature is slained, or gathers enough food to supports it's transformation. Survival of the Fittest. Great Moths are a majority of a Predatory Moth colony, acting as hunters, guards, and workers. When capturing food for the newly hatched Petits, Great Moths will drop the living creature directly into the birth pits. The prey will fight, killing as many of the Petits as possible before being overwhelmed and eaten by the swarm. This is how the Moths determine what Petits show the strength worthy of becoming part of the colony, as those killed become food for the victors. Subsequent meals brought to the Petits are frequently dead, severely weakened, or nonliving food. Larvae Moths Larvae Moths are the unfortunate creatures that were either unable to get enough food as a Petit, or had their cocoons prematurely opened or destroyed. Having not fully evolved, Larvae moths are stronger than their younger Petit counterparts, but are unable to return to their cocoons Colony Failures When a Larvae Moth hatches, it begins life in danger. Unable to grow to it's full potential yet still requiring immense amounts of food, Larvae Moth are frequently killed immediately by the Great Moths in a colony. Their bodies are then dropped into the birthing pits, giving the newest batch of Petit Moths an easy meal. Lone Hunters For the Petit Moths that escape the birthing pits, few live long enough to make their cocoon, and even fewer hatch undisturbed. Larvae Moths are frequently found alone in the wild, having been woken from their metamorphisis early to feed. These creatures are aggressive, and tend to become awful pests for any town or village that is unlucky enough to have a Larvae Moth hatch near them. Cocoon of Evolution Three months after hatching from their eggs, Petit Moths encase themselves in a cocoon. These cocoons solidify like steel, keeping the growing moths safe from the dangers of the outside world. While the cocoon is not a normal creature of it's own, it serves to fight off any would be predators as soon as it is first breached. Moth Rebirth Upon entering the cocoon, the Petit Moth inside regurgitates all of the food it had eaten and stored over its three month life. The stomach acid burns the creature horribly and the body begins to knit itself back together. The Petit is in a constant fluctuation of burning and healing until its body gains a natural resistance to acid, and eventually an immunity. This same process is used to make the Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth stronger, as the acid from the Great Moths is more potent, forcing the body to toughen quicker. Great Moths Great Moths are the backbone of the predatory moth colonies. They fill the roles of hunters, guards, and workers, and are incredibly dangerous creatures. Complete Mutation The creature that enters the cocoon is not the same creature that emerges. Much larger than the Petit Moths, these creatures have replaced their mouths with a long proboscis used for absorb nutrients and liquds, and grow wings, allowing for much more mobility. While the mouth is gone, some of the teeth remain, instead now acting as horns used to inject their prey with a deadly acid. Great Moths frequently attack in swarms, quickly overpowering and melting their quarry before drinking up what is left for sustenance. 160 Credit | Statblock and lore: Jon King

Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth The Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth is the grand evolution of the predatory moth line. These terrifying creatures take the features of the Great Moth and add an even more lethal acid, along with greater intelligence, and are the only moth in a colony that is able to lay eggs. Only one 'queen' may exist in a colony at any given time, which is a true blessing for all other creatures that may come in contact with a moth colony. Perfect Evolution Due to the additional food and increased strength acid pumped into the queens cocoon, the Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth endures a much harsher time in it's metamorphosis. The time required to heal and evolve is doubled for the queen, though the results are well worth the time and effort for a colony. The birth of a Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth means the colony will continue to grow and thrive. While the Great Moths are the backbone of the colonies, any colony is bound for collapse once the queen is destroyed and the Petits are killed. 161 Petit Moth Small beast, Unaligned Armor Class 13 (natural armor) Hit Points 22(3d8 + 9) Speed 30ft.

Primitive Butterfly The primitive butterfly is a delicate creature that relies on it's symbiotic realtionship with predatory moths and other insects in return for protection. The primitive butterfly can use the glittering powder on it's wings to strengthen it's allies. For the predatory moths in particular this creature is invaluable, as it is able to detect which petit moths are suitable to eventually become perfectly ultimate great moths. It's powder is potent enough to seep through the cocoon of evolution, quickening it's metamorphosis into a great moth. 164 Primitive Butterfly Small beast, unaligned Armor Class 12 Hit Points 18(7d6 - 7) Speed 10ft., fly 40ft.

Lava Golem Created when the a weakened Magma Elemental is imprisoned within the body of a Stone Golem, the Lava Golem is a creature of immense power. It has been known to weather the strongest of blows, and retaliate with a blast of intense heat radiating from it’s body. This is largely in part due to its malleable yet powerful form, as the Lava Golem’s body consists of slowly moving lava, with sporadic obsidian shards jutting from underneath the exterior. It heats all metal around it, causing most weapons to be unusable in the first place. Due to the creature’s incredible power, and the high mortality rate among would-be creators of Lava Golems, the process of creating one is a highly guarded secret. 168 Lava Golem Huge Construct, unaligned Armor Class 17 Hit Points 180 (18d10 + 90) Speed 30ft.

Laval Burner This creature was originally meant to be a Lava Golem, but due to the hubris of its creator the Flame Elemental that serves as the core of the Lava Golem was fused into a more powerful form. The design was meant to channel the fiery power into specific locations, thus increasing the creations power. The creation was a success, though the result was a disaster.

Fire Princess Stories are told of women with harrowing control over flames, bringing both landscapes and travelers to their knees. These Fire Princesses are elegant in appearance, draped in expensive clothing, with soft flames licking their body. Though these women may be beautiful, they are known to be insane, though they would prefer the term “enlightened”. If one crosses paths with a Fire Princess, it is best to head in the opposite direction, or better yet towards the nearest source of water. A Princess in Name Alone. Scholars often need to clarify that the Fire Princess moniker is one given to themselves of those that fear them, due to their royal appearance and personality. Normally these searing women are not royalty of any kind. They were once young women interested in the arcane, whose studies went poorly, and found themselves being tormented by vindictive elementals. These elementals would torment and torture the poor women, until they lost their mind. Through some unknown process, the now mad mage and the elemental were bonded together, giving the deranged woman control over fire. This is normally what a Fire Princess considers their “coronation”. Share The Gift. Fire Princesses do not consider themselves mad. In their mind, they are cleansing the lands of impurity and will often offer others the chance to join them in their quest. If and when they decline the Fire Princess will consider them an impurity and will attempt to burn them away. If a Fire Princess feels she had been disrespected in anyway, she will be sure to annihilate any who she feels responsible for her slight. Black and White and Red While it is known that Fire Princesses are intelligent, it is a fools endeavour to try and reason with one. In their eyes, you either join their cause or die. Some Fire Princesses have been known to amass a large amount of followers, believing that the Fire Princess is some kind of deific being who has come to deliver the world from sin. Though many of her followers attempt to mimic their masters power, some have been considered “enlightened” by the Fire Princess and blessed with power not unlike her own. 170 Fire Princess Medium Humanoid, Chaotic Evil Armor Class 15 Hit Points 65 (10d8 + 20) Speed 30ft.

Time Wizard This oddly shaped construct is similar to that of a clock. A creature was brought to life by a powerful mage who was obsessed with magic surrounding time. His goal was to master all aspects of time through magical manipulation. The mage found it extremely difficult to focus and bend time to its will on his own. He ended up developing a powerful conduit to control the power. The mage made many iterations of the powerful sentient construct, but in spite of his best efforts, many malfunctioned, or failed entirely to produce a satisfactory effect. As a result the Time Wizards use of magic extremely unreliable and dangerous for both the Time Wizard and its enemies. Last Gamble. The time wizard knows that its magic is unpredictable. For that reason, it only uses it when it has no other options. The mace it carries resembles a magical wand. On the end of the mace is a wheel that contains four faces with an arrow that spins in the center. There are two different alternating faces, a skull, representing a negative effect and star, that represents a positive effect. When the time wizard casts its time magic the roulette spins and randomly lands on a face that determines the magical effect. 171 Time Wizard Small Construct, Unaligned Armor Class 13 Hit Points 33(6d8 + 6) Speed 30ft.

If the coin lands on tails, time wizard becomes the target of the spell. Credit | Lore & Statblock: Justin Handlin \ Art: Comi Ilia

Witch of The Black Forest Austere, apathetic, but oddly enchanting, Witches of the Black Forest wish very little to do with creatures not of their homestead forests, often engaging travellers and adventurers alike with an immediate hostility. Much like druids, these fey creatures hold nature in the highest of reverence and think of those that traverse the landscapes for treasure and fame as a blight encroaching upon sacred ground. Those unlucky enough to catch sight of a witch of the black forest often meets an untimely demise. However, they are not without intelligence and therefore reason. These fey received their name from the odd darkness their presence brings, causing even the brightest of forests to become overwhelmed with an intangible, overwhelming shade. Despite this, they cause no harm to the forest or its creatures themselves. Rather, they use the underutilized and clandestine powers of shadows that all living things possess. They willingly chose to leave the feywild as they felt it was more than adequately protected. Magically Treasured. Witches of the Black Forest believe they have enough reason to hate interlopers in their forest without magic involved. When the arcane is brought into the equation, their disate and intense animosity only grows. Due to the enchanting beauty they possess, ‘thrill seekers’ and adventures are often paid to take them from their forests to be unwillingly married off. Furthermore, they are also hunted by great wizards, sorcerers and magical dabblers alike as the odd wing-like appendages on their head and their eyes contain and powerful and condensed form of necrotic magic. They are also a commodity in the social ‘underground’ for their ability to cast the darkened shroud upon everywhere they go. Often times, rogues and cheats will deceive and lie their way into a partnership with these Witches, reaping the benefit of their magic in exchange for ridding the women of ‘undesirables’ that may seek out their forests. This usually ends with their partners profiting by convincing the witch to leave their forest and selling them off, or simply killing them and taking their magical commodities once they deem the partnership ‘completed’. Undying Loyalty While hostile and uncaring towards anything but their goals, a Witch of the Black Forest is still an intelligent creature that can be convinced and negotiated with. Those with a close natural bond, a love of nature or a connection to the feywild have a better chance of calming the Witch’s aggression. If one is able to make a deal with one of these creatures, they will honor their end of the bargain without any trickery or twisting of the discussed. If the individual manages to earn their trust, the Witch of the Black Forest will become as fiercely loyal to the individual as they would the forest itself. Some druids, elves and on occasion other creatures who are daring enough have managed to win the hearts of the fey women. In turn, they are wholly devoted to that person so long as they do not impede the natural desires to protect the forests. Only under the most dire of circumstances in these relationships will the Witch harm their beloved forests in order to protect that which they deem their mate. In these rare instances, she will either request to leave the forest as she felt she had wronged it and seek a new one with her mate otherwise her mental state will degrade along with the dying forest. The rarest of occurrences are those in which their mate had proven so devoted to the land itself that she will travel alongside them in their quest to protect all the lands rather than a specific forest. Witch Biology The Witch of The Black Forest has a very unique biology despite her humanoid appearance. Some wizards and scholars have written papers about how much more dangerous these creatures would be if they could utilize the condensed magic within their bodies. Eyes of The Witch. The Witch of the Black Forest's humanoid eyes remained closed at all times; the only exception to this is those she deems trustworthy. In these moments, she willingly closes her other eyes and looks to be a simple maiden. A Witch of the Black Forest's eyes are the source of her aura regardless of its position on her body. An amulet containing one's eye is a very rare but highly favoured trinket of a rogue or assassin. Feathered Senses. The source of a Witch of The Black Forest's blindsense is the strange wing-like appendages on her head. It have been discovered that they use the vibrations in the air to sense the location and position of others. While the truth behind it is still unproven, some say that a single feather from her appendage can be used by intelligent spellcasters to cast a powerful Whirlwind spell. 172 Credit | Statblock, Art & Lore: Shannon McCullagh

Dark Magician A powerful spellcaster, the Dark Magician is a wizard that travels the land, fighting for his values and protecting his friends. He has close ties to other spellcasters, and his magic becomes even more powerful when combined with that of other wizards. He uses his unparalleled arcane prowess to cast illusionary or dark spells. Usually found roaming the world, in search for mystical powers and arcane secrets, the Dark Magician is a champion of good. Despite the darkness and treachery of his magical abilities, his cause is one of justice. If he ever appears in civilization, it will be to defend it from the forces of evil. Anyone who meets the Dark Magician and has the luck to interact with him can testify that he is awkward, not very talkative, but kind hearted. His one flaw is that he puts those he has to defend above his own safety, and that he cannot forgive those who have wronged innocents 174 Dark Magician Medium human, lawful good Armor Class 14 (17 with Mage Armor) Hit Points 82 (11d8+33) Speed 30 ft.

Magical Hats 5th-level conjuration Casting Time: 1 reaction Range: 60 feet Components: V, S Duration: Instantaneous Classes: Wizard You call forth three large magical hats, identical to each other. The hats appear around you, one or two creatures of your choice and any item. The hat can only fit large or smaller creatures. After the hats appear, any creature inside them must succeed on a Charisma saving throw or be randomly teleported to another hat. Then, assign the hats a number from 1 to 3, and roll 1d3. The Dark Magician teleports to the hat with the corresponding hat. Then, the occupant of this hat will teleport to one of the other hats. Assign the other two hats a number, 1 or 2, and roll 1d2 to determine the creature’s destination. The hats will only disappear when they are attacked. Any attack on the hats magically passes on to the creature or item contained within the hat. While inside the hats, the creatures cannot be heard from any other creature outside, and cannot escape the hat except with teleportation. 175

Dark Magician Girl The Dark Magician Girl is an eager young spellcaster, trying her best to follow in the footprints of her better, the Dark Magician. Like the one she considers a mentor, her desires and wants align with his: to shelter and nurture the innocent. Her Aegis for her dearest compatriots is the strongest but this does not mean that her devotion to the people is a trifling undertaking. Thus, she as seen as a agent of righteousness despite these dark magics. There are a variety of differing students of the Dark Magician, and she is but one trying to stand up above the rest and garner attention and pride from her teacher. She is not one to stay in one area long, seeking out obfuscated ciphers of the arcane and cryptic lore to strengthen herself. Though she utilizes this nefarious wizardry, she does so to wreak an almost karmic justice upon the villainous. While she works hard to follow the lawful nature of her mentor, she is still stumbling to find her own path in life. The Dark Magician Girl's wanderlust and nomadic lifestyle leads her to be rather apt at searching dungeons and ruins for the most sought after secrets. Her curiosity may be intense but it does not cloud her good intention. A Lady of Intellect While this young miss is indeed a beauty, she is brains first and foremost. The Dark Magician Girl is still as fickle as any other mortal and enjoys a good 'game'. She is willing to share knowledge with those deemed worthy. To determine this worthiness, she is willing to assign and request small tasks and errands so she may be sure that her knowledge will not be abused. Generally, only those talented in arcana and weilding an insightful eye pass these tests. She does her best to plan these tests in a manner than would make the Dark Magician proud and expects them to be a difficult task for even herself to accomplish, but not impossible. The clever little ploys she creates for her testees can seem meaningless or outright bewildering but not a single one of her ideas is without purpose. Her youth and nativity blurs her mind to the prospect that those looking to share her knowledge and pass her tests could still have ill-intent which only reflects her lack of training further. Regardless, the Dark Magician Girl is willing to trust those that she shares this information with and can be led astray from her path of good. If she is tricked under these circumstances and ever discovers such, as mortals due, her rage against those who wronged her is unbridled. Bonded Sisterhood The Dark Magician Girl is only one of many Magician Girls studying the ways of the Weave. She has a fairly close relationship with these others in a sorority like manner. At times, these fellow students of the arcane come together to assist one another. There are some that search out a much different path, seeking out new mentors but those remaining under the tutelage of the Dark Magician stick together. Though these women have a close bond, they do not form covens like hags. The Dark Magician Girl and her fellows see such covens as a heinous and impure act, and while it would bolster their powers exponentially, it would also corrupt them at their cores. Though they are not fully-fledged Magicians like the Dark Magician, they do recognize the tantalizing lust for power and how it can be the greatest folly of man. 176 Credit | Lore: Shannon McCullagh \ Art: KevinRaganit

Dark Magician of Chaos A s the power of a Dark Magician grows through continual rigorous training and fighting against the forces of evil, there comes a point in his life where he must set about a new path to further his own capabilities. This isn't based on the level of his magic, but more so on his moralistic outlook. Those who don't stray far from the originating path of the Dark Magician will eventually take on the role of the Dark Sage. They say with age comes great wisdom and the understanding that the laws set in place by man must be adhered to. However, for those that follow a philosophy that leans towards altruistic individualism, the role of the Dark Magician of Chaos calls upon them. Well of Power After reaching his previous limits, the Dark Magician found an ancient ritual of knowledge. Knowing the potential of the ritual to expand his horizons, he went about performing it and as a result more powerful. Though some may consider this ritual to be a shortcut to power, the Dark Magician of Chaos knows with great risk comes great reward. Banishment of the Wicked The Dark Magician of Chaos has created his own subplane to banish evildoers to. While not foolproof to break out of like any other mere banishment spell, those that are unsuccessful in escape are later subjected to an attempted conditioning to change their malevolent ways. Power of Chaos On his many journeys to further himself in the arcane arts, the Dark Magician of Chaos had taken quite a liking to the way of the sorcerers and how they submit to the wilds of the weave. He had then taken upon himself to incorporate their ways and let the magic itself take hold of the reigns. Wayfaring Wizard A firm believer in constant selfimprovement, the Dark Magician of Chaos. does not yet believe he has reached his peak and he seeks out new magic and knowledge to add his existing arsenal. Despite this hunger for bettering himself, it doesn't get in the way of helping those in need and facing off against the forces of evil. 178 Credit | Statblock & Lore: Shannon McCullagh

Swordstalker Vengeful souls slain in combat can often be drawn to the Nine Hells, where their hatred and anger are given form and new life as a Swordstalker. Driven only by its want for vengeance, swordstalkers become powerful units in the armies of devils, pulling the souls from those they face to keep themselves at full power. Assault on the Soul Swordstalkers attack their victims souls as much as their physical forms, drawing in their energy to keep their physical form. Even those who manage to slay a swordstalker can find themselves weakened long after the battle and may succumb to unseen wounds long after their fight. These souls are slowly ripped apart, fading into nothingness as their life ends. Unending War Swordstalkers seek out violence without rest, unlike most devils they care not for bargaining or manipulation and will simply slay any mortal foolish enough to summon them to the material plane. This trait, as dangerous as it is, is useful as many archdevils have been slain by a swordstalker they once commanded once it feed on too many souls in battle. The souls that form the swordstalkers form need not have agreed in life, in fact many of the archdukes/archduchess of the Nine Hells will purposely create them out of opposing souls so that the creature will always have a source of anger to feed on. 180 Swordstalker Large Fiend (devil), Lawful Evil Armor Class 16 Hit Points 167 (20d10 + 57) Speed 30ft.

Flame Swordsman O n a cold rainy night, a mercenary, wounded in battle, stumbled through the darkness. Shivering and bleeding after a fierce battle, he thought that his time was about to come to an end. His strength nearly gone, he stumbled into what looked like an abandoned camp, the tiny flicker of a dying fire could be seen in the fire pit. Not one to give up, the warrior found some dry wood nearby and stoked the fire to warm himself, eventually managing to get it roaring. He had no idea that it was a dying fire elemental and as thanks for saving -it's- life, the elemental warmed the warrior and kept him dry as the mercenary tended to his own wounds, each saving the other. Come morning both we doing better, and the elemental had become very attached to this human that had saved it.

Dark Blade Dark Blades are humanoid warriors from the Shadowfell who are often associated with shadow dragons. Many serve powerful broods of shadow dragons, carrying out their will in the Shadowfell and the material plane alike. Others dedicate themselves to other powerful entities of the Shadowfell, such as certain evil deities. Dreaded Warriors. Wearing dreadful spiked plate armor and wielding wicked dual blades, a Dark Blade is a force to be reckoned with in battle. Most warriors from the material plane would sooner fall on their own blades than face a Dark Blade in single combat. Warriors of the Shadow Realm. Dark Blades carry the twisted, crushing gloom of the Shadowfell with them wherever they go, even those that make it to the material plane. With rare exception, almost all Dark Blades are malicious toward most other humanoid life, spreading death and misery wherever they roam. People who have survived encounters with Dark Blades say that their dreadful, shadowy presence still haunts them years afterwards. Dragon Manipulators. Through their time in the Shadowfell and in service to shadow dragons, many Dark Blades have learned to manipulate young dragons and lesser dragonkin. They have been known to compel young dragons and wyverns in particular to serve as their mounts. Sometimes Dark Blades who serve shadow dragon broods are sent into the material plane to bring young dragons back to the Shadowfell using this ability. Those dragons are then corrupted by the Shadowfell's dark energy and join the shadow dragon brood. 186 Dark Blade Medium Humanoid, Neutral Evil Armor Class 18 (plate armor) Hit Points 145 (16d10 + 57) Speed 30ft.

Mermaid Knight M ermaid Knights are a strange lot, consisting of an aquatic lower body and an upper half of a humanoid. They're known for being a rather ingenious but distrustful type. Living in the deep as they do, they must use magic and other methods to forge weapons and armor, adorning themselves with anything they can find in the murky depths. Often will you find Mermaid Knights with armor made from shells or shipwrecked scraps. Living beneath the waves and not having libraries and archives to fall back on, their culture is very primal. Mermaid Knights will often serve under much stronger creatures as a means to survive. They are not worldly, however, and can easily be outwitted if encountered without a superior of some sort. Safety In Numbers. Mermaid Knights are aware they are not the strongest nor the smartest of the undersea creatures and will rarely venture out alone. They are close knit amongst themselves and will look after their own with a fierceness like no other. They care not about such things as gender and base all judgments of the strength of a person. Only the strongest of Mermaid Knights are allowed to breed as they have little respect for those weaker than them. Their vast numbers and aforementioned attitude is often the source of their own downfall and many adventurers who come across them, even in groups, can escape if they cleverly play off the Mermaid Knight's hubris. 187 Mermaid Knight Medium Aquatic Humanoid, True Neutral Armor Class 18 (Natural Armor) Hit Points 108(6d10 + 48) Speed 10 ft., swim 40ft.

The Gagagigo Race F ound deep within the lush forests of the feywild and living in small colonies are a peculiar tribe of humanoids. Upon first glance they're easily mistaken to be like any other clan of lizardfolk, but under a more scrutinized observation they are revealed to be more resourceful than they let on... Not Your Average Lizard Although not as intellectual as great wizards or elven folk, the Gagagios have proven to be quite crafty in their own stead. While being able to survive on the bare minimum, the Gagagigos enjoy comforts that other reptilian humanoids, such as lizardfolk, would scoff at and believe to be unnecessary; such as constructing homes comparable to that of the average farmer or enjoying complex literature. Remarkable Evolution One of the Gagagigo's most fascinating traits is their ability to adapt under duress. Their bodies undergo vast physical changes, transforming them into a new, stronger form depending on the crisis at hand. Some of these changes can be something as simple as an increase in physical strength and dexterity or even along the lines of greater arcane ability. Sociable Reptiles Another unforseen trait that differs the Gagagigo race from their lizardfolk counterparts is that these reptilians rather enjoy the company of other intelligent races. They will gladly welcome any visitor into their home, provided they are not a threat to their clan, and offer to swap information and any skills. They have a mild lust for knowledge and any intel, no matter how small or insignificant, will help in the furthering of their species. Any learning of the other intelligent races proves to be rather beneficial, be it how to appropriately aid a downed ally or, if a situation became antagonistic, using the other race's weakness against them. Gigobyte Gigobytes are the youth of the race and are more inclined to working with others. They might be small in body, but they're big in heart, and will fight alongside those they bestow their trust to. 190 Gigobyte Small humanoid (gagagigo), chaotic neutral Armor Class 12 Hit Points 30 (5d6 + 5) Speed 30 ft., swim 30 ft.

Jigabyte A few members of the Gagagigo race can have a strong connection to the elemental plane. The element of lightning in particular seems rather appealing to these scaled beings and they will absorb its electrifying power into their form, invoking an evolution that increases their speed and even a mild ability to harness the energy as a form of attack. The downside, however, is their intellectual growth is stunted. 191 Jigabyte Medium humanoid (gagagigo), chaotic neutral Armor Class 18 Hit Points 110 (15d8 + 30) Speed 40 ft., swim 40 ft.

Gagagigo The Gagagigo is the main evolution of the Gagagigo race, hence the naming as such. They are the main evolution of the race and are the most talented without drawback. They are incredibly versatile in using the environment to their benefit such as making crude tools if lacking, setting traps and the like. Generally the chieftains of the village are of this evolution. 192 Gagagigo Medium humanoid (gagagigo), chaotic neutral Armor Class 18 Hit Points 110 (15d8 + 30) Speed 40 ft., swim 40 ft.

Giga Gagagigo As some Gagagigos witnessed the bigotry, racism and general hatred from other races towards one another, and most importantly towards their own, did their disgust and rage grew to a great need to remove such undesirables from the realms. While they're still as intelligent as their brethren, their actions are often unpredictable due to being blinded by these emotions. Using the knowledge they gained, and what they learned through their Jigabyte brethren, they have modified themselves to strike against those that oppose them. 193 Giga Gagagigo Medium humanoid (gagagigo), chaotic evil Armor Class 20 Hit Points 175 (17d8 + 80) Speed 40 ft., swim 40 ft.

Aliens F rom where these creatures originated no one knows. Some believe they are the work of some mad wizard, others claim them to be denizens of the far realm, and there are those who claim they come from a space we are still unaware of. Whatever their origin may be they are here now and that is what matters. Cruel masters The aliens see us as nothing more than tools to further their own ends. Some of us they enslave with their psionics powers and bend us to their will. Others use us simply as food if they see us serving no other purpose. However some possess a very unique biology, wherein they need to use us to procreate. Alien Parasytes The aliens utilize a unique weapon, we call them parasytes. It is a strange formless blob with teeth that adheres itself to whatever life form it can. It cannot be targeted for attacks. It can only be removed by a DC 12 medicine check, this takes 10 minutes to accomplish. While it is attached to its host, the host suffers a -2 penalty for each parayte on it when it makes an attack roll against an alien. Also, if the target is a humanoid, it has a number of A counters equal to its challenge rating (or level if a player character). When a creature with a parasyte take a long rest, it will transform into an alien skull (if CR 0-6) or a Cosmic Horror Gangi’el (if CR 7-up, does not need to be a humanoid). The transformation will be completed after the same hours as the A-counter the creature has. Example: a creature of CR 4 will have 4 A-Counters thus it will transform to a gray skull after 4 hours of long rest. Alien Ammonite These abhorrent monstrosities of tentacle, talon and tooth, wrapped in an almost impenetrable chitinous, barbed and spiked shell have been found in bodies of water and oceans that have tributaries or cave systems adjacent to the caverns of the Underdark. Once these aberrant horrors appear they soon slaughter and consume all available life, before dragging themselves towards larger prey. Some reports have even suggested that the Alien Ammonite has the ability to propel itself through the air, essentially making nowhere safe from the, thankfully, rare creatures. Speculation abounds as to how the Alien Ammonite came into being though scholars, brave or mad enough, claim that they could be the result of heretical arcanist Mind Flayer experiments. It is proposed that the insane crossbreeding or splicing of a Flail Snail and a Flumph with a Mind Flayer tadpole has resulted in this abomination. This small creature while not very dangerous on its own, should be feared. The Mind Flayers use these creatures for reconnaissance, gaining information before launching an invasion. Possessing silent movement and incredible stealth, these creatures are near impossible to detect. 196 Alien Ammonite tiny aberration, lawful evil Armor Class 13 Hit Points 10 (3d4+3) Speed 0ft. fly 40ft (hover) STR DEX CON INT WIS CHA 6 (-2) 17 (++3) 13 (+1) 14 (+2) 12 (+1) 11 (+0) Skills Insight +3, Perception +3, Sleight of Hand +5, Stealth +5 Damage resistances Psychic Senses passive Perception 11 Languages Deep Speech, telepathy 120ft Challenge 1 (200 XP) Magic Resistance.

Hit 5 (1d4 + 3) piercing damage, and the target must make a DC 11 Constitution saving throw, taking 10 (3d6) poison damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one. Invisibility. The Ammonite magically turns invisible until it attacks or until its concentration ends (as if concentrating on a spell.) Any equipment it is carrying also turns invisible with it.

Alien Dog These bizarre creatures, usually found only near the the most thriving and successful of Mind Flayer colonies, are thought to have once been the fearsome and feral wolves of the wilderness. Selectively bred and gene-spliced with Displacer Beasts DNA, using eldritch sciences beyond humanoid imagination, to such an extent they are so far removed from their ancestral kin. This has lead to a growing number of socalled 'forward thinkers', esoteric scribes that claim the Mind Flayer empire never truly collapsed, but rather was moved to the future, holding the Alien Dog as proof that these present and future beings have the ability to communicate and trade with one another. This new breed retains the hunting and tracking prowess of its canine beast ancestors with the displacement ability and agility from the addition of feline monstrosity genes. This elusive capacity is further enhanced with an armoured carapace that magnifies the innate refraction of light, enabled by the Displacer Beast chromosomes, to such a degree that it can appear to be anywhere within many yards of its location. This confounding trait combined with the sheer viciousness of the Alien Dog, thought to be caused by the conflicting genealogy at war within its aberrant mind, make them extremely dangerous and effective at hunting and scouting for its masters. Alien Dogs also serve as guardians of the Mind Flayer lair, where their sensory and speed supremacy ensure anything coming too close is detected, destroyed or reported in mere moments. Alien Dogs could also be once, a friendly creature serving at man's side, now it is a slave to the aliens. When alien parasytes attach themselves to a beast like a dog or a wolf this is the kind of outcome you can expect, a monster with the ferocity of its old self, but new monstrous strength to kill. 197 Alien Dog medium aberration, lawful evil Armor Class 15 Hit Points 45 (7d8 + 14) Speed 50ft.

The dog has advantage on all Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on hearing or smell. Pack Tactics. The Alien Dog has advantage on all attack rolls against a creature if at least one of the dog's allies is within 5 feet of the creature and the alley is not incapacitated. Displacement. The Alien Dog projects a magical illusion that makes it appear to be standing near its actual location, causing attack rolls against it to have disadvantage. If it is hit by an attack, this trait is disrupted until the end of its next turn. This trait is also disrupted while the Alien Dog is incapacitated or has a speed of 0. Mirror Image The alien dog is always under the effects of a Mirror Image Spell. When the duplicates are destroyed, the Mirror Image effect will need 4 hours to recharge and come into play again. This trait is disrupted while the Alien Dog is> incapacitated. Actions Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5ft., one target. Hit 7 (1d8 + 3) piercing damage plus 7 (2d6) psychic damage. Parasyte Plague(Recharge 5-6). The hound breaths out a mucus forming parasytes in a 15-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 12 Dexterity saving throw or receive a parasite, two parasytes if the target failed by 5 or more, or three parasytes if the target failed by 10 or more.

Interplanetary Invader 'A' Mind Flayers have many twisted experiments designed to serve them in all their work. One of the fiercest of these are the walking brains known as intellect devourers capable of taking control of a body to do with as it wishes, but they are not the only twisted creation of the illithid empires.

This flesh scuttles through ear canals on insect like legs before sticking it strange proboscis into the brain of its victim. Knowledge Seekers Interplanetary Invader As do not seek to consume the brains of their victims for sustenance like other illithid creations but instead seek to pilot their chosen forms to force them to reveal secrets and lure in new victims to an ambush of the Illithids design.

Alien Grey These creatures are the heralds of an invasion. Before the fighters take to the battlefield, the grey infiltrate their cities and spread their parasytes to as many hosts as possible. Then when the hunters and warriors arrive, it is not a battle its a harvest. There is next to nothing known about the illusive Alien Grey, as no humanoid has survived contact with them. The scant information on the Alien Grey has been gleaned by spellcasters unfortunate enough to be within the range of the their violent psionic emergence or the harrowing psychic screams of their victim's death throes. Each of the divination adepts mind's who bore witness were shredded by the horrifying visions, but diligent esoteric scribes pieced together the manic scrawls and deranged ravings to paint an abhorrent scene; a silver room lined with Mind Flayers genuflecting before a grey being, flanked by immense armoured guardians, emerging from a blinding portal of light. The Alien Grey raising tendrilous hands towards a humanoid bound in a psionic field, flexing and twisting their elongated fingers, as if beckoning. Liquified brain matter erupting from the victim's orifices in a geyser of gore, willed across the room by the deft undulations of the aberration digits.

Alien Hunter and Alien Shocktrooper E mulating the Storm Giants creating the Behir to combat their immense draconic foes in seemingly endless wars in long forgotten times, still remembered by many Elder Brains, and perhaps even borrowing some of the monstrosity's genes, the Primillithid, prosperous Mind Flayers of a dark future, set about the creation of their ultimate weapon in their own eternal war. Using the so-called Devils of the Deep, the Sahuagin, as their base for experimentation, after dominating a number their Priestesses and by extension their communities, harnessing their Blood Frenzy and redirecting their enmity of the aquatic elves to the one true predator of the Primillithid, the indomitable Alien Mother. These piscine humanoids underwent extensive experiments and augmentation that left a great, stinking heap of dead or helplessly gasping bodies, though two separate types of gene enhanced warriors emerged. 200
