DD ROGprovide little to no nutrients when or if consumed. Their
biology consists of something alien or inorganic. They’ll
eat fresh meals if they can find it, or they’ll dig into
decaying or rotting meals. They’ve also been seen eating soil or
almost anything. It’s clear they prefer flesh in their diet, but the
creatures will eat virtually anything they can find.
The Drog can be found in warmer climates.
Rocky areas seem to be one of their natural habitats
as well as swampy muddy areas.
Mindless Creature. The drog is a fairly mindless
creature.They roam alone and flee from their litter as soon as
they can walk. Their main goal from that point on seems to
be digging about through the waste in search of the tastiest meal it can find.
Trippy Quills. The quills on their back glow and tend to vibrate lightly. The vibration
seems to generate a slight buzzing sound. These quills will eject from the creature when
it feels threatened and can fly at impossible speeds to impale any threat as if they can
somewhat detect and move to find their target. While the quills are primarily a defense
mechanism, the drog can also use them as a method of attack. The most interesting
result of these quills is that they carry a venom that works as a hallucinogen. Generally,
the payload a quill carries is enough to be lethal, but in small quantities, the glowing
venom is administered as a drug. The drog will quickly domesticate to any leasher that
catches them.

ended early by a lesser restoration spell.



CROWNBACKhe crown back is a fairly populous species of creature found in tribes within the
various harsh environments of The Dissonance. They are fairly intelligent

Tand highly resilient creatures that seem to resonate with most forms

of energy. They create peculiar homes for their families out of whatever
material they can stack together and they are constantly looking for food
to feed their young, a task that they take very seriously, and they aren’t picky
eaters. They all grow a kind of elaborate bony grouping of antlers
from their back and shoulders that resemble a crown.
Creatures of Change. Combinations of color, hair pattern
and length as well as skills can vary greatly from individual to individual
depending on needed camouflage and survivability. The males patrol
the wastes and wonders of The Dissonance, watching for threats and
looking for food-- sometimes one provides the other. Their crowns,
though mostly organic, seem to have an underlying crystalline structure that stores different kinds of energies;
this energy can be somehow metabolized in times of low caloric intake or expelled in a powerful burst.
Socially Structured. Amongst the crownback creatures, social structure seems to be everything. At the
top of the chain is the alpha male who can easily be identified by his absolutely massive crown tipped in white.
He will fight off any challenging males to keep his leadership of the tribe. When competing in these tests of
dominance, the crowns are utilized to lock the competitors together, after which, fist and tooth are used to try and
injure and frighten away. It is rare for one challenger or the other to die in the process, but not unheard of. The
tribe is made up of various families, and each is led by the eldest and strongest male. The females have crowns as
well, but they are smaller and less aggressive in their growth and aspect.

DT ELVERhe Delver is a construct that is created by the Krand. It’s even
believed that this particular creature, or contraption is a step
as one of the first stages to the Krand maturity cycle. They live
with the Krand to do their bidding.

Great Companions. For the Krand, there is rarely a greater
companion, though companion may be the wrong
term, for they are complete and utter slaves to the fully
mature Krand. The Delver might be seen hovering over

the shoulder of a Krand, or some mantles can attach to
and become part of the mantle. The Krand communicate to them
telepathically, they cannot communicate very complex thoughts,

but can receive orders and follow them with exactness.
Specialists. Delvers can perform a wide variety of tasks.
Though they tend to specialize in the task selected for them. The majority of the Delvers will be seen getting
used in repurposing failed Krand, torturing, interrogating and vat overseers.
Thought Thieves. Delvers are not only useful in the many specialized roles, but they are able to
latch onto the cranium of a creature, they will then punch a hole through the victims skull and allow their
cerebral proboscis to penetrate the mind. Once the victim is infiltrated, the receiver will be stabbed through
the eye by the needle on the Delver’s tail. This allows the receiver to walk through the victims memories
and even take or alter them as needed. The mental skill to recieve is hard, and can even be dangerous to the
receiver. The receiver is generally the Krand commanding the Delver.

Tlooks more constructed than birthed, these rare and
intensely strong creatures have an unknown origin and
ancient history within the layers of the dissonance. It is
easy to see that these monsters have existed for millennia
in one form or another as their nearly impervious
exoskeletons remain nearly unchanged
and unfettered by rot and decay
even after death. They do not seem
to feed on anything directly but
more absorb the needed nutrients and
elements from their environment. They are
curious, are defensive and can be aggressive
when confronted with unknown strangers.
Hollow Markers of the timeless.
When wandering the dissonance a huge, nearly
buried carapace is sometimes seen. It has become the home of other creatures
and it’s silhouette provides a twisted kind of shade to the denizens that
brave the landscape. These are the remains of this incomprehensibly
old group of creatures. It is a witness to the resilience of their
biomechanical shell, a shell that is so strong there are few substances
that can cut it, even the blade of time itself falls short.
Shapers of the Plane. The pill synths don’t seem
interested in killing as much as most of the other creatures of
their realm, they seem more interested in carving out matter
around them. It has even been theorized that this was their
original design, to shape worlds. In the dissonance,
however, they seem to do it in an almost erratic and
mindless fashion as if their programming has been
lost after so much time. And so, they wander, usually

MEGGOTH

The Meggoth is a massive beast. Easily mistaken
for a large mountain ridge or perhaps a cliff
overhang when they are resting. The Meggoth
are so large that they generally pay little attention
to mortal sized distractions. Meggoth is more of a
force of nature than a direct menace. They destroy
much where they tread, often rolling in the
terrain or digging through it with their foreclaws
to find a meal.
They’re constantly on the hunt for food and for
a good locale where they can lay their eggs.
All Female. All Meggoth undergo
parthenogenesis, there are no males.
Meggoth will lay their eggs in warm arid
environments. The eggs must remain
unhatched for years and the temperature
must be just right. Oftentimes Meggoth
will find an ideal spot and bury their
eggs to keep them safe from most
dangers.
Food Finders. The adult
Meggoths must wander far to find their
food. Generally, any amount they find is
never enough to keep them satisfied for
long, so they’re always searching. Large
herds, gatherings or even cities are the
best food a Meggoth can come across.
All the food in just one place. Meggoth
eat most anything that’s living or that
can provide them nutrients. After
they’ve eaten, if the meal was a decent
size, they will burrow a shallow bed
into the ground and attempt to conserve
the energy for as long as they can before
foraging again.
Mumblers. Meggoth make deep
rumbling noises, though they’re not
sentient enough to reason or communicate
with language.
Tough Nuts to Crack. Slaying
Meggoth is not easy. The creature’s exoskeleton
is very strong and thick while any soft spots

are hard to get to. While the armor is hard, the creature also exists as two separate parts. The head portion
with the top legs and the larger outer portion with the four largest and primary legs. These can detach
and all the vital organs are contained within the hardest smaller portion. Over a long span of time, if the
smaller portion of the Meggoth detaches, it can grow back it’s longer more capable extremities. It’s
thought that the Meggoth developed this capability as an
evolutionary way to handle seasons where they could not
feed their larger body, and therefore had to
sacrifice it. The trade off is that they lose their
greater harvesting legs in the process
and significantly reduce their speed.
The Meggoth will also use it as a
means of defense if necessary.
When the Meggoth is split in
two parts, it can control both
bodies simultaneously for a
long time. Eventually,
the Meggoth will lose
the larger part if
not reconnected.

Dark Rain. Watching from their homes up high, the lucid canopy will wait for a large group of
travellers. Once the lucid canopy feels the need, it will swoop down into the air unfurling its massive span. It
will glide down to its victims and encompass them in its shadow, which is barely noticeable. The canopy then
begins to rain or secrete a liquid that might seem like rain at first glance, but it’s darker, much like its goal. The
dark rain of a lucid canopy will lull its victims into a sleep they never saw coming.
Lucid Dreams. Victims ensnared in the lucid rain dream of an unfathomable similitude to reality find
the dreams might be lovely, painful or horrifying, but they feel real and leave lasting sensation on the victims’
minds. Also, while dreaming in the lucid rain, all dreamers may find each other within the dream. The lucid
canopy will find its way to each of the victims in a form most befitting the victim’s minds. The lucid
canopy feeds on the dreams of its victims and will stop at nothing until it is satisfied. The more
involved the lucid canopy is within its victims dream, the greater the sensation it feels.

T WILOPEDEhe embodiment of fear and despair, this insectoid ilk creeps
silently across the dissonance looking for a place to birth it’s

Tunholy offspring. Every twilopede being female they
must find a suitable host to carry their larvae to it’s full adult
stage. They are a highly intelligent, silent scourge that feel no
remorse and leave nothing but death and sorrow in their wake.
Haters of Light. The twilopede hates light, in all of it’s
many forms. It sticks to shadows and darkness and comes under the
cover of whatever mist or cloud, rock or tree can shield it’s multiple
eyes from the radiance of whatever light source is around. They
have often been seen looting cloth from bodies as well to
cover their eyes and in even rarer occasions they’ve made
coverings from their own silk, though this silk is precious
to them as they need it to capture the fleshy host to their
offspring.
Short Lives Full of Purpose. These miserable beasts
are bent upon reproduction and only eat when absolutely needed
to keep them going. The twilopede live only a few years and must
deposit their eggs as quickly as possible in order to propagate their race. They are almost
in a constant state of desperation and need and this makes them highly dangerous. There are very
few constraints that must be followed in finding their host and so most creatures are in constant danger.
Once they have deposited eggs in as many hosts as they can, the twilopede simply starves to death.
Twisted Intelligence. Twilopedes are one of the more intelligent ilk in the dissonance and
they have been known to resort to very nefarious methods of manipulation to reach their personal goals.
There are stories of twilopedes cleaning out the skins of people and climbing inside and then cloaking
themselves in the corpse’s garb to enter places where it can access more hosts. This strategy has left mental scars on
those who’ve lived to talk about it. Being solitary creatures without need for a language of their own the twilopede
can only mimic but it can do so very quickly and convincingly.

and aware of it must succeed on a DC 18 Wisdom saving throw or become paralyzed with terror for 10

minutes. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on
itself on a success. If a creature’s saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature
is immune to the Twilopede’s Darkest Nightmare for the next two turns. A creature
who has been paralyzed by this attack may have lingering and debilitating

restraining a creature. If the cocoon is completed
the creature inside becomes paralyzed. The cocoon
has an AC of 18 and 115 HP. The cocoon is immune
to magical damage and resistant to physical damage.
While inside, the creature remains paralyzed and
cannot be cured or restored. The captured creature’s
max HP is reduced by 10HP for every full day inside.

REACTIONS
Parasitic Larvae. If a Thorny Cocoon is completed the
twilopede can use a reaction to instantly place parasitic larvae
inside the body of the paralyzed creature. The larvae is only
detectable through a successful DC19 medicine skill check. The
larvae eat all healing spells, halving the HP given to the host. It
also eats all restoration spells and nullifies their effects. The host
gains 1 level of exhaustion for every 2 days it is infected with the
parasitic larvae, this cannot be reduced with rest.
Rebirth If the larvae remain inside the host for 10 days they burst out,
killing the host instantly and unfolding into a fully grown twilopede.

XARVEIL

Xarveil are feline in appearance. Dark short fur streaks their body in lines, in

with glossy black provides the creatures with a strong camouflage for their

GLASS WING

The glass wing is a deadly flying hunter with silent wings and fatal precision. It flies high
above its prey and then silently dives upon them before devouring their bodies with a
powerful beak-like mouth and strong, crushing tentacle mouthparts.Terror on Invisible
Wings Just larger than most humanoids, these sky-bound beasts may seem innocuous when they
are sailing high above, but up close these monsters are horrific to look at and extremely dangerous. Their
bodies look frail, almost emaciated, but under thin, transparent skin are strong and quick musculature.
The wings are especially interesting and are biologically developed to be parchment thin and completely
transparent as well as totally silent, while at the same time being extremely tough and resistant to tears or
punctures. Flock of Death Occasionally, glass wings will form frenzied flocks. In these circumstances, a
large group of glass wings become almost impossible to survive and can pick clean a group of creatures in
moments. Glass wings are solitary hunters that look for smaller prey they can easily overpower.Sometimes
they work together to bring down larger, more powerful prey. High Metabolism Many of the denizens of
The Dissonance are hungry; there is very little easy nutrition and many dangerous things competing
for every meal, but the glass wings are especially starved as their metabolisms being extremely fast
and burning energy almost as soon as it is consumed. Even the nests holding their young will often
fall victim to the hunger of their species with parent feeding upon child and sibling upon sibling. So,
they swiftly arc through the skies looking for anything and everything they can eat.

MASKED SPHINX

The masked sphinx is one of the more enigmatic and strange creatures that calls The Dissonance
home. Highly intelligent and cruel, the masked sphinx looks for its victims as one might look
for entertainment. It evaporates in and out of existence, moving from place to place with the
purpose of finding a mental rival.
Playing With its Food. It is unknown if the masked sphinx needs to eat or not, but it
certainly seems to need conversation and mental stimulation and will spend countless hours
talking with its victims if it can. Once the conversation has become dull or the creature
has proven itself to be unworthy of the topics that interest the masked sphinx, it will then
dispatch them. It especially enjoys making fools out of those it speaks with, and the more
intelligent the opponent believes itself to be, the more interested the sphinx is in destroying
their confidence.
Proud and Beautiful. These cat-like beasts are extremely proud and more than
a little condescending. They are fastidious groomers and will go to great lengths to
keep themselves both clean and well adorned. They have also been known to bend
the fabric of The Dissonance and harness it to create trinkets and ornaments to
prop up their ego. When attacking, they refuse to bite as they view anything
going into their mouth as unclean and disgusting.
Patient beings with Purpose. Many monsters in The Dissonance
are barbaric and have an innate brutality that erases all hope for mental self-
reflection and even intelligent thought in most instances, but here the masked sphinx
is different. They have even been known to take up positions as long- term guards of
special and rare things. Once a masked sphinx has taken up a goal or a purpose, they
will not stray from it until the task is complete. They are infinitely patient creatures
and will wait on principle alone.

ANA’GUUM

Feminine Wiles.The Ana’Guums live solitary lives,
generally in fairly remote areas. Their days are
generally spent seducing male humanoid
creatures to their lair where they can feed on them
for centuries. Once the Ana’Guum has seduced a
victim it will lure them into their lair and feed off of
them. This happens slowly and though it takes time
for victims of the Ana’Guum to become completely
subservient, once they are, few ever escape the mental
prison they find themselves in.
Legends speak of men wandering off
then coming back to their home early in the
morning, either no recollection of their
previous night or no desire to speak of it,
then the men find themselves having the
same issue the next morning. Eventually
these men never return, while the
majority of their days leave them walking
as if asleep, or barely able to focus. The end
for these victims is the day the Ana’Guum
feels it’s tired of the particular male’s flavor
and it wants to find something else. The Ana’Guum
may feed on many males concurrently, the more options for feeding,
the more vibrant and healthy they feel.An Ana’Guum endeavors to feed its
passions. It will lure males of most races to its lair. It feeds on them to satiate
its appetite
Ana’Guums are cunning, divisive and evil at their core. They leave their
lair only to find new prey or to hunt down other Ana’Guums that may have
stoled their own. This is rare, but generally an atrocity among them.
Deadly Form. Ana’Guums are not only adept at subterfuge, these
creatures have two prominent forms. The one looks almost identical to a humanoid female, the
other closer to a massive thin limbed spider, the mouth of the creature splits open where the
humanlike form’s throat would have been, the face folds back revealing rows of thin curved teeth,
canopied by mandibles. The buttocks swells out to an abdomen that can spin steel strong silk.
They are extremely strong in this form, despite the semblance of fragility.
Tells of the Belle. Though the Ana’Guum can pass as a humanoid female almost
perfectly there are a few tells that the wary mortal may catch, and if caught soon enough might
save themselves or a friend.
Ana’Guums do not blink naturally. Though they can mimic a blink, there must be a conscious
choice.
Ana’Guums always address males first in conversation, and most frequently.
Ana’Guums will only drink water when given a choice. They refuse any other beverage.

of its turns. An Ana’Guum’s lair might be an ancient ruin
fountain overgrown with vines, a misty clearing
of forest surrounded by mighty dark trees, a dark
steep cliff flanked with a roaring long waterfall, or
some other cold, wet and lonely landscape. At the
center or deepest point of the lair might be a large
number of male silk bound corpses or mindlessly
charmed victims.There may be fine strung silk or
seemingly large webs present.
An ana’guum encountered in its lair has a
challenge rating of 8 (3,900 XP).

LAIR ACTIONS
On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the
Ana’Guum can take a lair action to cause one of
the following effects; the Ana’Guum can’t use the
same effect two rounds in a row:
• The ana’guum chooses one of silk bound

corpses or charmed victims within 5 feet to
feed on, restoring 14 (4d6) hit points.
• The ana’guum commands two of its charmed
victims to attack for it. These victims cannot
be cured from the charmed condition unless
the ana’guum dies or chooses to end the effect.

• The ana’guum targets one creature it can see within 45 feet of it. Sharp steel-like webbing shoots out
from the ana’gumm. The targeted creature must make a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw. On a failed
save, the creature takes 7 (2d6) slashing damage and is restrained until it breaks free. A creature
restrained by the webs can use its action to make a DC 16 Strength check. If it succeeds, it is no longer
restrained.

Regional Effects
Transformed by the creature’s horrifying presence, the of an ana’guum might include any of the
following effects:

• Within 1 mile of the lair, flames, magical or otherwise, are doused instantly as if placed in a cold
stream of water. Sounds also diminish as if traveling through water. Voices will be garbled and words
hard to understand. Any creature that has
been kissed by the
Ana’Guum will view

SHAEDROShe most cunning race of their kind, the synthariat. You won’t see them unless
they want you too. They make their homes generally in the highest altitudes, arid

Tenvironments of the waste. The Shaedros are malevolent yet they have little care to go

out of their way to cause or inflict pain on other creatures, this is unlike many creatures in the
Dissonance, so they stand apart. While they don’t go out of their way to kill or torment they
will do so without issue and efficiently.
Shaedros young are born without their primary skill of active camouflage. They
instead are quite the opposite. The young are born and emanating from under their
mechanical organic hex patterned skin glows a subtle magenta light. The nature of their
young is largely a cause for the Shaedros not existing in greater quantities. After several
weeks they will develop their camouflage, though the mastery of it comes after seasons
of use.
Shaedros will nurture their young until the ability to stealth is developed, this is also
unique to most creatures in the dissonance. Shaedros seek to live over seeking out
others’ destruction.
Shaedros may have more nurturing tendencies than many of the creatures but
their biology is truly strange to most other abhorrents. The Shaedros shares similarities
to it’s race, the synthariat, to which abhorrents like the Skilros belong. Their biology seems
a mix of machine and something organic, as though some machine had found a way to
evolve and exist as a creature.
Keen Hunter. The Shaedros is a keen hunter, agile, and will kill swiftly once it has
found its prey. It’s intellect is hard to deduce, though the creatures seem constantly focused on
achieving the tasks that keep their kind alive.
Advanced Camouflage. Shaedros achieve camouflage through efficient means. Their
mechanical organic skin allows for refraction of their surroundings to the viewer’s eye, making
themselves appear invisible. Strange glowing pink burning fluid has been found at some kill sites
where the Shaedros have been, though it’s undetermined, it appears the Shaedros not only can
camouflage themselves, they can also project illusions anywhere within the perimeters of the fluid,
this pink glowing fluid seems to play into how the illusions project. It also seems as though this
fluid would make a lethal weapon when shot at targets.
