SRD Creature Library

Large • aberration

Ancient telepathic horrors that enslave minds and rewrite memories. Immortal, intelligent, and utterly malevolent—aboleths are the stuff of undersea nightmares.

Large • elemental

A living tempest of howling winds and crackling thunder, this elemental strikes with the fury of a storm, engulfing foes in its vortex before hurling them aside like leaves in a gale.

Medium • construct

Enchanted suit of armor animated by magic. Follows simple commands, attacks with repeated slams, and is immune to mental effects due to its mindless nature.

Small • construct

Enchanted blade animated by magic that hovers and attacks autonomously. Fast aerial combatant immune to mental effects due to its mindless nature.

Large • construct

Enchanted carpet that wraps around victims to smother them. Grapples Medium or smaller creatures, blinding and suffocating them while sharing damage taken.

Large • monstrosity

Burrowing ambush predator that erupts from beneath the earth to snatch prey with powerful mandibles. Sprays corrosive acid when threatened and drags victims into underground tunnels.

Medium • humanoid

A deadly master of stealth and poison. Strikes from the shadows with lethal precision, using venomous blades and bolts to eliminate targets before they know death is near.

Small • plant

A sentient shrub animated by magic. Loyal to its awakener, it shuffles forward on gnarled roots to scratch at foes — more determined than dangerous.

Huge • plant

An ancient tree given thought and voice. Slow to anger, impossible to stop — when it swings, entire bodies of men fall.

Large • monstrosity

A flightless predator built for speed. Powerful legs close the gap in seconds, and that axe-shaped beak does exactly what it looks like it should — no intelligence required.

Medium • elemental

A living forge given form, the Azer Sentinel strides wreathed in heat and light, its iron hammer blazing with molten fury as it stands watch in disciplined, unyielding silence.

Huge • fiend

A towering general of the Abyss, the Balor wields lightning and flame with apocalyptic fury, its mere presence warping the battlefield into a vision of hellish ruin.

Medium • humanoid

A common criminal — opportunistic, desperate, or simply greedy. Bandits work in numbers and prey on the unprepared. Alone, easily handled. In a pack, a genuine threat to unwary travellers.

Medium • humanoid

A seasoned criminal leader — cunning, charismatic, and dangerous up close. Commands loyalty through strength and coin, and knows exactly when to fight dirty.

Medium • fiend

A devil wreathed in vicious barbs that tear anything that grapples it. Patient, perceptive, and utterly loyal to the Nine Hells — a living weapon that hurts you just by being touched.

Medium • monstrosity

A slow but relentless predator, the basilisk turns prey to stone with a single gaze. Few who meet its eyes live to describe the experience.

Medium • fiend

A soldier of Hell that fights dirty — its glaive opens wounds that won't stop bleeding, and that writhing beard delivers poison that stops you healing. Built to make every hit count.

Huge • monstrosity

A lightning-immune serpent the size of a building. It constricts, it bites, it breathes lightning — and if you're unlucky, it swallows you whole and digests you alive.

Medium • humanoid

Dangerous when healthy. Lethal when wounded. The berserker doesn't break under pressure — it breaks open, fighting harder the closer it gets to death.

Large • plant

Ancient beyond memory, Elder Lyra has guided the Myconids through a thousand years of war. She has made every impossible choice so her people wouldn't have to.
