Warcraft Manual of Monsters v1.0

Troggs Troggs are savage creatures with long, muscular arms that look as though they were carved from stone. They grow thick, coarse beards in colors resembling granite and chalk, and it is not rare to see minerals growing on their bodies. Their slouched posture and burly proportions have many characterizing them as apelike troglodytes. Primitive and fierce. Troggs are best known for their stature, ferocity, and smell -- said to resemble a mixture of mold, mange, and sour monkey. Living together in tight-knit tribes and clans, their main driving force is an imposing psyche and impressive force of will, though they are not known to be intelligent beyond being sentient. Less so than even an ogre would be considered. They follow the leadership of whoever can prove themselves the biggest and strongest, with aspiring trogg chieftains often going to great lengths to prove their viciousness. Troggs are known to eat whatever they can get their hands on; including rocks, or even occasionally other troggs. Underground creatures. With most of their existence spent underground, troggs are not fond of sunlight. Wherever troggs dwell, a deep network of intertwining tunnels is likely to be somewhere nearby. They do most of their digging by hand, using their jagged claws, and occasionally shape weapons and other tools out of the rocks they excavate. Like the troggs themselves, a trogg dwelling is illreputed for is repulsive smell. Titanic origins. After the titanic Keepers had ended their war with the Old Gods, their next goal was to shape a new generation of titan-forged creatures, using the Titan complex of Ulduar. Their initial designs, however, proved too complex; yielding a race of stone-skinned monsters. Though the Keepers sought to rectify their mistakes, they did not want to destroy their defect creations -- who they chosen to call troggs. Rather, the titanic Keeper Ironaya constructed Uldaman; a Titan vault that would keep the troggs in stasis, with herself as its designated warden. Over the years, a few small groups managed to break free from Uldaman. Some of these scattered themselves out across the surface of Azeroth, while others burrowed their way deeper down to dwell in the subterranean caverns of Deepholm. The rest stayed as they were, asleep beneath the earth, until a dwarven excavation managed to unearth the titanic vault. Once the seal of Uldaman was broken, the troggs awoke; quickly overpowering the dwarves as they swarmed to the surface. There, the troggs burrowed their way through every peak and valley across Khaz Modan, including the subterranean gnomish city of Gnomeregan. To this day, trogg tribes can be found in every corner of the Khaz Modan -- with distant cousins scattered far and wide across Azeroth. Progenitor race. Though the troggs were considered a failed experiment by the titanic Keepers, who sought to flourish new life on Azeroth, their failure became the blueprint for future revised designs. Ultimately, the Titans formed the earthen; a race of stone-carved beings formed to bring order the deep reaches of the world during the ordering of Azeroth. Theories have also been floated, mainly by the prominent dwarven explorer Brann Bronzebeard, that the kobolds are themselves an evolved offshoot from an early group of troggs. Likely one that earlier broke free from the titanic vault of Uldaman, however, there has been no conclusive evidence of this, only theories based on their resemblance.

Trogg Names and Languages Troggs do not possess any discernible language of their own, and tend to resort to violence rather than negotiation when faced with a threat. Still, those who do communicate do so in a mixture of grunts and what Common they know. Their names draw from the same roots as the dwarven language, especially with its hard consonants and guttural sounds. Some troggs, usually tribe leaders, choose names in Common to best describe themselves. It is unclear whether these names are direct translations, or deliberate choices to intimidate other races. Trogg tribes are usually in Common, and often draw from their way of being or directly from whichever place they claim as their home. Trogg Names: Argh, Agrok, Bruggor, Gorgash, Grimlok, Morloch, Murdaloc, Raggosh, Revelosh Clan Names: Bonegnasher, Caverndeep, Gravelflint, Irondeep, Rockjaw, Scrapbone, Stonevault TROGGS Trogg Ambusher Medium humanoid (trogg), chaotic evil Armor Class 13 (natural armor) Hit Points 40 (7d8 + 12) Speed 30 ft.

Trolls Trolls have made their mark upon the world over milennia, as ancient divides among their kin have brought forth a wide foray of tribes. Today, trolls can be found far and wide across Azeroth, each tribe unuque in its own appearance, customs, and way of life. Rulers of the Ancient World. When the world was still one, before the Great Sundering, the troll race flourished under the rule of the powerful Zandalari empire; able to match even the mighty Mogu dynasti. The Zandalari relied heavily on its intricate caste system, under which each troll had its given place in life. As time went on, many of these castes grew into a people of their own, parting from the Zandalari to cut their own path in life. From this, two other empires grew forth to rival the Zandalari -- the Amani and the Gurubashi. Other, smaller tribes tried to escape conflict by settling farther away, though many were made to heel by the three empires. Although animosity between the three was great, Azeroth had a host of other threats that would often draw a common enemy between them. Progenitors of the Elves. Eventually, a colony of dark trolls split free from the Amani empire, ventured forth discover the heart of the continent -- and with it, the cosmic Well of Eternity. By the influence of the well, they were transformed into the Kaldorei, night elves. At the base of the well, they forged for themselves a new empire. One with which they systematically dismantled the trolls around them, leaving once great empires in ruin. Ultimately, however, the elves' reckless use of magic lured the demonic Burning Legion to the world. With it, the War of the Ancients began, by the end of which the Well of Eternity imploded in a shockwave that shattered the land and split the continents as they have been ever since. Great chunks of the remaining Amani and Gurubashi empires were lost, but plenty of land remained for the trolls to rebuild their cities and reclaim their territories. Racial Dif erences. The troll race is considered one of the most numerous, yet thoroughly divided. As each tribe has split its own course and claimed its own land, a troll's appearance can alone tell who they are. Tribal Devotion. Trolls have always been a tribal race, isolating themselves and starting anew. A troll’s tribe is its family, and many will go to extreme lengths to protect it as such. They owe loyalty to no-one but their own. Outside Hostility. Trolls settle in remote and isolated areas, places where they can stake their claim and turn the land into their own. The ferocity with which they defend their borders is legendar,y to say the least, as they will retaliate swiftly and with force if threatened. Loa's Guidance. Loa is the name trolls have given their animalistic spirit gods. Countless Loa exist, many of them weak and shapeless beings that only trolls can sense, while others take the form of majestic animals. Most troll tribes and empires have their own Loas, manifested as though given shape by the trolls in their worship. Regeneration. Smashing a troll's bones and slashing through its rubbery hide will only serve to anger it, as a troll's wounds close at an extraordinary speed. Only through acid or fire can one arrest their regeneration. The ability for trolls to regenerate themselves is nothing short of legendary. It can only restore so much, however; as once a troll heart pumps its last, there is no natural way for it to recover. TROLLS T 104

Troll Berserker To survive a tribe, one must be powerful. For a troll, being powerful means being stronger than one's enemy. Berserkers are the embodiment of this; with their brutish strength, they hurl their weapons at their targets as they cry for blood. Fearless, they hurl themselves into the fray to attack with reckless abandon. Troll Headhunter Headhunters are the trackers and hunters of a tribe, using a combination of spear and bolas to bring down their prey. They make formidable fighters, keen to take trophies from their fallen opponent to display as adornments. These trophies are usually severed fingers or ears, as well as the odd trinket that their quarry might have worn. Troll Witch Doctor A troll witch doctor holds status as a spiritual leader for its tribe, often acting as a close advisor to its chieftain. They are the eyes that see things which others cannot, and the ones who commune with the Loas on behalf of the tribe. As cunning as they are intelligent, the wield great magical prowess in their practice of voodoo and alchemy. They know few limits for creating magical concoctions, both to cure ailments and to spur horrors. Dire Troll These enormous trolls tower above the rest of their kin, as they wield their immense strength to hurl boulders and enemies alike through the air, as well as to pummel them into the ground with almost bestial ferocity. There is no definitive way to say what stands behind a dire troll's immense stature. Some are elevated through magical or alchemical means, while others have simply evolved to stand larger than life. Whatever the case might be, they are revered as proud and honorable souls among the trolls. Variant: Dire Troll Caster Some dire trolls possess innate magical powers in their blood. These trolls are known as Warcasters, or Warmothers if the troll in question is female. They have a Wisdom of 17 (+3), and gain the Innate Spellcasting trait as follows. Innate Spellcasting. The troll's spellcasting ability is Wisdom (spell save DC 15).

Thunder Lizard Few who scout a thunder lizard approaching dare engage the beast in an open skirmish. The thick-skinned beasts bears a striking resemblance to kodos and many have speculated that the two are related in one way or another. But that is where the similarities between the creatures end; as the monstrous thunder lizard is easily aggravated, persistent in hunting down whoever would provoke it, and capable of exhaling a breath of lightning. Creature of Myth. Thunder lizards are considered mystical creatures and a rare sight by many. They are only made rarer by their aggressive nature, as failing to take necessary precautions before attempting to approach a thunder lizard may quickly spell doom. Among the tauren, legends claim thunder lizards to be formed from ancient kodo spirits; bound to the sky and storm and brought back as thundering monsters. Grassland Scavengers. The lumbering creatures roam the vast plains of Kalimdor in search of prey. Thunder lizards are carnivorous, and will often eat their prey whole: dissolving both the creature and everything it carried in the process. Thankfully, magical items are usually left behind without being too much worse for wear. Wary scouts who have witnessed the great thunder lizards and lived, often note that they leave ordinary kodos unharmed -- rather seeking food elsewhere. Lone Wanderers. Thunder lizards are rarely found in large numbers, preferring to either hunt alone or follow a pack of kodos as some form of guardian. They move vast distances in their tireless hunt, and tales have been told of thunder lizards even wandering their way through open settlements. They rarely cause any trouble, however, so long as they are not provoked.

If the lizard moves at least 20 feet straight towards a creature and then hits it with a gore attack on the same turn, that target must succeed on a DC 15 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone. If the target is prone, the lizard can make one devour attack against it as a bonus action. Actions Gore. Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit 28 (4d10 + 6) piercing damage.

A Medium or smaller target must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or swallowed by the lizard. The lizard can only have one target swallowed at a time. If a target fails the saving throw while the lizard has a creature swallowed, it is grappled instead. A swallowed target is blinded and restrained, it has total cover against attacks and other effects outside the lizard, and it takes 10 (3d6) acid damage at the start of each of the lizard's turns. If the lizard takes 25 damage or more on a single turn from the swallowed creature, the lizard must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw at the end of that turn or regurgitate the creature, which falls prone in a space within 10 feet of the lizard. If the lizard dies, a swallowed creature is no longer restrained by it and can escape from the corpse using 10 feet of movement, exiting prone. Lightning Breath (Recharge 5-6). The lizard exhales a line of lightning that is 20 feet long and 5 feet wide. Each creature in that line must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking 39 (6d12) lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a success. T 108

Whale Shark In the depths of the ocean, beneath the sun-bathed reaches of the Great Sea, swims the arbiter of the deep. Known to many simple as whale sharks, these legendary leviathans patrol the deepest oceans; devouring any inattentive or overzealous adventurer that would cross their path. Devourer of All These larger-than-life behemoths swim through the oceans of Azeroth in an eternal hunt for survival. With their massive, lumbering bodies, whale sharks rarely benefit from being aggressive enough to directly hunt down their meal. Instead, they eat what happens to be caught in front of their massive maw. So long as it can offer some form of sustenance, they care little for what -- or who -- else they might swallow. Guardians of the Deeps. Whale sharks are known for being fairly territorial. Their domains are large, and they patrol it in broad circles along its borders, swallowing down whatever they happen by along the way. Some have been spotted roaming waters around ancient ruins, leading to speculations that they are safeguarding the remnants within. Few, however, have been daring enough to venture deep enough within their realm to prove whether these are true stories or flighty legends.

If the whale shark takes 40 damage or more on a single turn from a creature inside it, the whale shark must succeed on a DC 25 Constitution saving throw at the end of that turn or regurgitate all swallowed creatures, which fall prone in a space within 10 feet of the whale shark. If the whale shark dies, a swallowed creature is no longer restrained by it and can escape from the corpse using 15 feet of movement, exiting prone. Tail. Melee Weapon Attack: +14 to hit, reach 15 ft., one target. Hit: 24 (3d10 + 8) bludgeoning damage. If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 22 Strength saving throw or be pushed 10 feet away from the whale shark and knocked prone. Inhale. The whale shark inhales water in a 15-foot cube in front of it. Each creature in that cube that is Large or smaller must make a DC 20 Dexterity saving throw or have their movement speed reduced to 0 until the end of the whale shark's next turn. W 109

Wind Serpents Slithering across in the plains of Mulgore, flying through the frosty trees of Winterspring, or prowling beneath the burning sand of Tanaris. Wind serpents are adaptable beasts who can be found in all corners of Azeroth. The serpentine creatures rarely pay any attention to those who wander by, but once hungry -- or aggravated -- they quickly turn hostile; ready to strike with their venomous bite and innate power to spew elemental fury. A wind serpent combines the bright-scaled body and head of a snake with the leathery wings of a drake, as well as the feathers of a brightly colored bird. Spiritual Creatures. Wind serpents are often seen by less intelligent creatures as spirits of the sky, and have long since been revered by tribal races like the quilboars. They also carry a srong resemblance to Hakkar the Soulflayer, a prominent troll Loa, prompting those who worship him to keep and train the beasts in his reverence. Unseen Hunters. The serpentine beasts are formidable hunters; predators who utilize the environment to ambush their prey for a moment's advantage. Crawling among tree branches, stalk within fissures, or flying silently out from dark nooks towards their desired target. They attack with lightning speed and swiftly retreat once the blow has been dealt, stalking for the next opportunity to strike. Perceptive adventurers might catch a glimpse of their colorful scales glinting, as a warning of their presence -- and potential quarry. Adapted Species. Wind serpents can be found in the far reaches of the world. They nest in hard-to-reach places where they may safely retire. The different subspecies of wind serpents have adapted and adjusted to the environment around them, changing elemental bond -- and color with it -- to better survive their harsh surroundings. Variant: Adapted Wind Serpents Wind serpents are found throughout Azeroth and have adapted differently to their climate. You can change a wind serpent's lightning breath and shocking spit attacks to deal cold or poison damage instead of lightning by making the following changes to the attacks: Breath Attack. The breath attack becomes a cone of a size equal to half the line's length, and requires a Constitution saving throw to resist. Spit. The spit attack requires a Constitution saving throw to resist.

Wretched Poor souls who failed to control their addiction to magic, and thus gorged on arcane power to the point of deformity — that is the story of the wretched. These frail-bodied denizens of Quel'thalas are recognisable for their gaunt, emaciated appearance, pale skin, and claw-like hands. Strange crystalling growths have spurred across their skin, giving them an eerie glow in darkness. They are a danger both to themselves and to others, with their violent and unpredictable nature. Insane Elves. The wretched are obsessed with magic, willing to go to extreme lengths for any scrap of magic that they can drain; whether from enchanted items, arcane fonts, or even errant spellcasters. Their fixation goes to the brink of insanity, and often far beyond it. Attempting to bargain with wretched for safe passage through their domain is rarely a peaceful affair, as their unpredictable nature makes them all too easy to anger. Pest of Quel'thalas. Being denizens of Quel'thalas themselves, the wretched elves rarely leave the confines of their magical kingdom. Instead, they have opted to scatter through the forest, taking up residence in ruins still left behind by the undead Scourge. There, they huddle together in small packs, letting their addiction take its toll. For the most part, in the eyes of Silvermoon, the wretched are little more than a pest upon the land. Their violent nature have left few wretched able to gather a force large enough to spur any proper conflicts, though they would pose a true threat to their elven kin should such a leader arise. Wretched Names Despite their addled presence and disownment by their kin, the wretches are still blood elves. As such, they still know to speak Thalassian. Few among them, however, seem to show any signs of remembering Common. Their overindulgence have lead many wretched into insanity, with some forgetting their names entirely. Others simply choose to take one a new one, casting aside any remnants of their old identity. The wretched use the same naming conventions as high and blood elves, but opt for descriptive and often profound titles in place of typical elven surnames — such as the Reckless or the Hungerer. Variant: Magic Absorption Wretched have an insatiable craving for magic and will go to extreme lengths to obtain and consume it. Some wretched are able to devour the essence of a magic item and be empowered by it. A wretched devourer has a challenge rating of 1/2 (100 XP) and gains the following action option. Devour Magic (Recharge 6). The wretched chooses one creature within 60 feet of it, the target must succeed on a DC 11 Dexterity saving throw or have one of its magic items lose all magical properties until the start of the wretched's next turn. If the object is a charged item, it also loses 1d4 charges. Determine the affected item randomly, ignoring single-use items such as potions and scrolls. If the wretched successfully devours the magic of an item, it regains the use of one of its once per day innate spellcasting spells.

Worgen: Feral The curse of the worgen can transform even the most civilized person into a ravenous, primal beast. Filled with rage, it gradually loses all vestiges of its former life, as it slowly turns into a mindless hunter. These feral beings bear a closer semblence to monstrous wolves than to intelligent humanoids. However, upon a closer inspection, their eyes betray the mind still trapped within. Ancient Curse. The worgen curse began with a sect of night elves, who tried to tame the powers of the ancient Godrinn. Instead, they were transformed into feral beasts, and subsequently locked away in the Emerald Dream. They were alter brought forth by the Archmage Arugal -- who himself sought a weapon against the Scourge. Though the worgen were successful in keeping the damned at bay, they did not differ between the living and dead; leaving the curse to quickly seep through Gilneas. Pack Animals. Feral worgens have but a shred of humanity left, locked away in a beast that cannot be reasoned or communicated with. Like wolves, they keep to forested areas and gather in large packs, headed by their strongest -- the alpha. Humanoid Cubs. Worgens do not give birth to lupine humanoids, but rather to a humanoid of their original race. Although the mother might care for its child, this is often not shared by the rest of its pack. Resistance to Undeath. The curse of the worgen draws its power from the Emerald Dream, and the light of the goddess Elune. For this, raising a worgen into undeath is by far more difficult than it is with most other humanoids. Feral Weaknesses. As vicious as they are, these feral beasts are hardly intimidated and rarely back down if the pack keeps together. They do, however, have a strong dislike for open fires, and avoid areas lit by open flames whenever possible -- so long as the hunger for flesh does not force them to push through. They also appear to be very susceptible to the wolfsbane plant; a small, purple flower commonly found across the kingdom of Gilneas. If this seemingly harmless plant comes in contact with a worgen's wounds, it prevents the beast from recuperating. Player Characters as Feral Worgens A humanoid bit by a worgen must succeed on a DC 12 Constitution saving throw or be cursed. The curse has no effect on undead beings, such as the forsaken. A character bit begins to show the effects of the curse after 1d4 days, at which point the character is transformed into a feral worgen. It gains a Strength of 15 if their score isn't already higher, and their alignment changes to Chaotic Evil. The cursed character also gains the following indefinite madness, "I hunger for the taste of blood and will kill anyone to taste it once more." The character remains a feral worgen until a greater restoration spell or more powerful magic rids the character of their indefinite madness, at which point alignment returns to what it was before being bit, and the character gains the Two Forms feature and the Worgen Form Traits of the Worgen race.

Yeti Yetis -- also known as Wendigos -- are hulking monstrosities that roam remote forests and snowy mountains. They exhibit a territorial ferocity rarely seen in other creatures, and make for terrifying and powerful foes. Especially with how they are willing to hunt any and all that would happen to wander too close to their den. Territorial Beings. The territorial nature of a yeti is common knowledge for any settlement near its hunting ground. When venturing outside, one must be sure to keep clear of any sign of the creature's trail; easily noticeable for the massive, clawed depressions and bloody carnage it leaves behind in the snow. Yetis possess a desire for blood that cannot be quenched. They often continue to hunt even when they are not hungry, dragging any un-eaten scraps back to their lair as a snack for later. As such, a yeti found roaming is seldom one left without purpose: it is almost guaranteed to be out looking for easy prey. Horrific Dens. Yetis make their dens in caverns and under isolated overhangs, usually recognized by an entrance strewn across with bones and half-eaten corpses. The cold climate of their habitat keeps the smell at bay, though the sight is as unmistakable as it is terrifying. This can, however, mean untold riches for strong-hearted adventurers. If anything manages to survive the yeti's frenzy, it is left strewn under the snow across its den -- like a treasure for any who would dare to collect it. Solitary Hunters. It is not a lack of intelligence, but an assertion of pride and dominance that drives the yeti to wander alone. If they first do decide to join together, whether to survive or simply for sport, they will first fight tooth and claw to establish a leader.

Each creature within 30 feet of the yeti and able to hear the roar must make a DC10 Wisdom saving throw, being Frightened for 1 minute on a fail. A Frightened creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. On a successful saving throw, the creature is immune to the roar of all yetis for 1 day. Y 114

Abominable Yeti Abominable yetis are menacing creatures, towering above their kin with the posture of enormous apes. They make their dens high in the mountains, in places so remote that no one would dare to venture close. They care little for keeping a large perimeter and hunt only to survive. They are, however, far more aggressive in their hunt; willing to venture much farther from their den for food. The greatest evidence of their existence are their primal roars; as loud as they are terrifying, echoing through the mountains. Little else is known of the abominable yeti, as few have encountered one and since lived to tell their tale.

On a successful saving throw, the creature is immune to the roar of all yetis for 1 day. Deadly Leap. If the yeti jumps at least 20 ft. as part of its movement, it can then use this action to land on its feet in a space that contains one or more other creatures. Each of those creatures must succeed on a DC 18 Strength or Dexterity saving throw (target's choice) or be knocked prone and take 30 (4d10 + 6) bludgeoning damage. On a successful save, the creature takes only half of the damage, isn't knocked prone and is pushed 5 ft. out of the yeti space into an unoccupied space of the creature's choice. If no unoccupied space is within range, the creature instead falls prone in the yeti space. Cold Breath (Recharge 5-6). The yeti exhales an icy blast in a 30-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 13 Constitution saving throw, taking 36 (6d10) cold damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

The yeti regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn. Claw Attack. The yeti makes one claw attack. Leap Attack (Cost 2 actions). The yeti makes a deadly leap attack. Y 115

Thanks for Reading This has been a project made by a group of people who have loved the Warcraft franchise for many years at this point, and wanted to bring it back to Dungeons and Dragons for everyone to enjoy. This has been a blast for us to make, and we thoroughly enjoy making it and improving upon it. We hope this will bring joy to many D&D tables around the world. Best of luck to all the parties of humans and orcs, try not to chop each other up too much <3 Did you know this was all made using GmBinder? I can't stretch enough how fantastic a tool it is for creating homebrew material for 5th edition D&D. Go check them out!
