Rocks: They arent monsters, but they are always there when you are DONE with your murderhobo players.
Rocks fall. some of them raise as Earth Elementals because the Barbarian is fucking unkillable
Rocs: they are giant murder birds how could you not like them or not fear them.
@Viktor Magnusson too bad people don’t use them more often. also they remind me of dinablade.
@Viktor Magnusson i’m sorry never played or watch dwarfs fortress sorry. (what did I say sorry so much I’m not Canadian)
Rocks: Because there’s always that one that kills your PC because he stubs his toe at 1 HP
"Dragons: your plot revolves around at least one of those"
Well, duh, that second "D" in the game's name is there *for a reason* .
XD
Not gonna lie I am tired of all the dragons in dungeons and dragons lmao
@@peppermintgal4302 And I am equally tired of all humans and their variants (elves/dwarves/gnomes/halflings/whatever). It is as if humans think that everything has to revolve around them in this universe and all others.
Little egocentric warm-blooded brats >,V,
Stretop Overmind Well my next character (if my DM is cool) will probably be a construct artificer that, instead of making gear like a NORMIE, upgrades itself using it’s tinkering abilities ti be the ultimate tank
Biggest gripe about STK is how A DRAGON is the bbeg in a GIANT'S campaign.
"And finnaly, Undead"
**Sans theme plays**
I see what you did here.
Is Sans a Lich?
If a skeleton shows up and the DM puts on Sans' theme... Panic.
Lol
No it is 'sans' not megalovenia
@@dennis_duran Nope, it was the song that plays in Grillby's, called "sans." on the soundtrack. Papyrus uses "Nyeh heh heh" as his theme.
Crab: You're cool and epic and the best, you are also good at raving. Always choose crab! 🦀🦀🦀
Agreed almighty crab god
If the great crab overlord says it, it is true!
The first ever encounter I threw at my party was a beach with thousands of crabs and each time they hurt one, 1-3 Giant Crabs would show up. Almost killed them.
@@krabbekage2124 holy crab
I found the crab spy
"Oozes can't TPK someone"
Me: "Pulls out a gray ooze against the Warforged Barbarian."
Party: "wait wouldn't it corrode him"
Me: "Yes, very much so"
you're a monster
@@The_Number1Candyman Heh, we were running Dungeon of the Mad Mage, it was bound to happen sooner or later.
@@thelordofpots933 That gray ooze is a hazard.
Only the armor, they're not actually made entirely of metal
@@henryhipschen9764 I don't think whats left would be very functional without the metal.
Zombies: You really just wanted to play a Resident Evil in DnD type of campaign, but the Paladin in your group makes it more like Whack-A-Mole.
The Underboss Also doesn’t help that Zombies in D&D don’t create spawn....better to go with wights. Or wraiths. Or be really, really mean and convert the 3rd party Pathfinder “Dread Bodak” template, for that wonderful combination of a Gaze attack that auto drops everyone who fails their fort save within 30ft to -1 hp (save at least once a round, maybe twice if the Bodak focuses you), a standard action Death wail that no-save kills everyone who is at -1hp or lower, and a Create Spawn ability that turns everyone killed in that way into more Dread Bodaks under the control of the original.
Also known as “Hope you have a high level paladin as your army’s champion, because otherwise you’re all going to die”
Simple, too many zombies
@@devingendron2287 normal Bodaks are a thing, and they still turn you into Bodaks if they kill ya, just like Shadows turn you if they kill you, it's just rare among undead for them to self-propagate because otherwise how in the holy name of Pelor/Lethander has the world NOT drowned under a unstemmable tide of undead horrors?
Denzil Browder I believe the question answered itself. As in it is literally the holy name of Pelor/Lethander/insert good aligned deity of choice. Turn Undead, Channel Positive Energy, Smite...whatever the system, divine magic is really good at destroying a lot of undead in a short amount of time
those effects are limited, both in range and usage, also the people able to USE those powers are limited, keep in mind most npc clerics are maybe 9th-10th level casters at best and have literally 0 combat experience, even the Paladins typically aren't equipped to fight a horde, it's a matter of numbers, hence why the most common low cr undead are Skeletons and Zombies, not the much lower cr Shadow for low level undead encounters, because Shadows self-propagate, with alarming speed,
hulking crab: you like kaijus
tarrasque: you LIKE kaijus
No joke I thought about a Monster Hunter/ Attack on Titan / King of the monsters style campaign in a world populated by huge ass beasts.
I've had some interest from my players too so it could happen.
So this Tarrasque is happened to be named Godzilla and has nuclear fire breath....
Next up: What your favorite rulebook in dnd says about you!
What your favorite favorite video says about you
Basic rules: You're broke
DMG: You're a forever DM
Bruhboss
Or better yet, what your favorite 5e Module says about you!
*What your favourite merchandise says about you!*
Vampire: you either love curse of strahd, Voltaire or both.
Sphinx: You like to give riddles, but are kind enough to give your party something to fight when they inevitable fail to solve it.
Kraken: You love epic seafaring adventure or you roleplay it more as a Lovecraft monster, even though it's not an aberation
Ghost: you like monsters with personal backstory and unique skills, and if you use it's posession on the cleric first you are lawful evil.
Owlbear: you are awesome, and most everyone at the same time
Wyvern, Hipogriph, Griphon and Pegasus: you wanna have one of these as a mount.
Gorgon: Even though you were expecting a medusa the first time you read the name, you were not disapointed by the cool look.
Flumph: You are the apex of lawful good.
What's a flumph?
@@Sarah12471 Magic jellyfish that readminds and feeds from the psych energy (it's not harmful, they only take the excess). Since they live in the underdark they often end up learning evil schemes, wich they make sure to tell any creature who might be able to foil it.
Edit: Might I add that they are one of the few, If not the only Lawful good abomination in the game, plus there is a series of in lore guides in the game, and the first item in the list is "Trust a Flumph", in a world that has celestials being literaly incampable of telling a lie, that's saying something.
@@boitata2617 Wow.. Cool
I should probably mention I've never stepped foot in the monster manual except to learn dragon lore
@@Sarah12471 It's ok, nobody knows everything, nor should they be required too, I am glad I got to share this little info with you
@@boitata2617 Yea.. Also what are flumphs doing in the underdark? Unless it's mostly to prevent schemes i can't see a reason
Shambling Mound: For when you want a Plant that resists Fire Damage and prevents forest fires by also healing off of Lightning Damage...
Shambling Mound:You're Smokey Bear's favorite person
Uh...doesn't that mean that Shambling Mounds are actually bad for the ecosystem by preventing periodic clearing of old growth through fires?
@@Pyreleaf Possibly, if they're numerous enough. Although I think they also eat the old growth, so I think it balances out normally...
I love shambling mounds. No wooded area is complete without them.
My sorcerer who only uses fire and lightning damage: So, I guess it's time to use the pointy metal things then?
Lich : you only ever will have this as your big bad as your so used to it's statblock and you ,we always use your own spells
Lich: the capaigns you DM are infamous for having hoards of undead and powerfull undead monstrositys and as a player you want to make a necromancer to experiment with the ol' dark arts
Lich: The poor monster that crazy players keep on tryna steal from *Vecna Gulping in the corner tryna keep his hand*
I mean, why wouldn't you use your own spells, the basic is so boring 😩
Can I say my favorite is a good lich with my own spells and wizard transmutation subclass?
@@forthegnomes6342 inless you're talking a baelnorn, there is no such thing as a good lich. they have to kill innocent people to both transform and maintain their bodies as a lich. to make the lich potion you gotta do some seriously evil things.
Tarrasque With A Gun: You homebrewed your entire world from the ground up, but your players burn, loot, and kill their way through it. I am this DM. Only Tarrasque With A Gun can save me now.
What type of gun?
armored tarrasque equipped with canons operated by an army of orcs, which also hold muskets, and a orc warlord that is also a paladin taking lead of the army :)
@@StrakanDocrusReakal Bandcanon-1 155mm artillery piece with a 15 round magazine and a giggle switch. You know.... rock and roll. Full auto. Oh and the Tarrasque gets the gunslinger feat so it ignores reloads.
@@Tomyironmane giggle switch? And why not a 380mm rocket lancher?
You are a coward and weak.
50 tarrasques with guns inexplicably placed in one tiny clown car will instill fear in your players
Kobolds: You are either A. Hoarding something absolutely useless but you like it anyways, or B. Really enjoy the idea of pack tactics.
I am the ladder. I actually played a kobold cleric. I was the pocket healer
Jarrett Hager Now THAT sounds ridiculous.
@@Joryho yeah but I can't lie it was funny when my pocket healer tried attacking a bugbear, hit, and did zero damage.( For context I had three characters and one was the cobold and another was his transportation barbarian. And kresh my cobold had -1 str. I rolled to hit and succeeded but rolled a one for damage with a blunt weapon.)
@@jarretthager3275 Yeesh, any lower than that and you would of accidentally cast a heal spell on the bugbear!
Or C. You are a furry/furry on denial
Behir: Everyone forgets this monster exists, and you struggle to explain to them that it isn't a homebrew Blue Dragon.
Thank you for introducing me to this thing, it looks awesome xp. Kinda suprised nobody talks about these things (i haven't heard of them before anyway), they are massive blue lighting spewing snakes with legs.
@@tomfranck8821 I made a reddit post a while back on the D&D Behind the Screen sub about Behir, they're my personal favorite monster of course
Yeeaah Behir gang
I love running Behirs especially for a monster hunter style game
The Behir happens to be one of the first dragon-like creatures I've encountered in Tabletops! It was intended to be a boss fight but we managed to befriend it because we got some lucky rolls.
Dopplegangers and other shapeshifters:
you like making your players trust nothing and no one and enjoy revealing plot twists
See also:
Using 3 mimics per 15 sessions, or more
You still want to eventually make a campaign based on John Carpenter's The Thing.
Flumphs: You read Order of the Stick. Also, no one prepares _feather fall_ in your campaigns.
Flumphs are the best party helping monster in the game, but the party will try to kill it
Beautiful little sentient pancakes.
Ok, but what if you liked flumphs before you knew there was such a webcomic?
@@AlephSharp Then you are a scholar and a gentleman/lady/distinguished nonbinary figure.
I like flumphs without reading whatever order of the stick is.
I like it because adorable rainbow sky blob that has the funniest fucking name this side of the goddamn monster manual
Hags: You either are a DM who loves roleplaying weird magic, or you're a player who loves it when a cabin grows giant chicken legs.
Adding on to oozes: you REALLY like Dragon Quest
i feel attacke d
Also falls under the "Why arent there more of these, guess I gotta go homebrew some" category. At least with the basic MM.
@@xzaeox6397 Mordenkainen's and Volo's didn't add a whole lot either
@@xzaeox6397 yeah there are like 8 oozes
Get Juiblex to send some of his supposedly "new species" that he cooks up all the freaking time. Seriously!
For now Ooblex will do with some Gray Ooze and Black Pudding.
Making your players paranoid on every clean surface possible.
Owlbear: You love things that look adorable, but are actually strong and deadly, because you wish you would be strong and badass yourself and not only cute.
And if you want to amp up the cuteness, turn your owlbear into a GUMMI owlbear! ...Yes, my DM did that to us once. All we did was run and let a shadow dog do most of the fighting before our wizard killed the owlbear with one Witch Bolt.
Hoot growl
@@DJROCKSTAZ owlbear cub see if the party can kill something that cute. True story my gobo barbarian loved to eat cats. Killed a cat and ate it except for the head, the cleric thought him about good and evil and my gobo felt bad. My intelligente was still 7 so i returned the head of the cat to the grieving boy whoes cat it was thinking he did a good. The party was horrified
I had a player who was obsessed with owlbears. SO much so that his druid would shapeshift into an owlbear (okay, it was for flavor and mechanically it was just a brown bear).
*Gorgon (page 171, Monster Manual)*
-About half the time you mistakenly assume that this is a medusa rather than a metal bull with petrifying gas
-You probably also think that harvesting monsters that have been slain (similarly to monster hunter) and using them to create weapons an armor is a neat idea
Castlevania breed that out of me
but Medusa is a gorgon though, it's not my fault 90% of people don't understand that
Please stop saying medusa. Just say gorgon and gorgon.
“Plants are weak”
God, the shambling mound: *Heavy Breathing.*
Shambling mound: Breathing
That one party member: wEll AchaEy
Shambling mounds are powerful if used with friends that primarily use lightning dmg.
"Plants are weak." *shows the silhouette of a creature that his players thought was a God because they couldn't kill it*
Elemental: Your Moon Druid just hit level 10.
Drow: You're a hardcore sub who wants a priestess of Lolth to step on you.
I mean who doesnt? But seriously there is so much lore with the drow. Also I just really like spiders which go with them like peanut butter and jelly.
Or you're a hardcore sub who is or has been playing Waterdeep: Dragon Heist and wants a member of Bregan D'aerthe to step on you. Probably Jarlaxle.
@@WinningSidekick Why not both?
@@Maid_of_Spiders ah yes, truly the Bisexual Mood ❤️
Or a psychopath who loves murder.
Sea Horse: You wonder why there's a pretty pathetic and basic sea horse in the manual. And you ironically share this confusion to your players by adding a sea horse encounter every time you set up an ocean campaign. "Behold the all mighty, all terrifying sea horse! Peacefully... eating seaweed..."
Wait what? I had to check and was pleasantly surprised XD
Also why is the phase spider considered a basic beast like an owl or a wolf? lol
Aboleth : won’t read past page 15
Or you really like the ancient past
I fount this way more amusing than I should.
Cthulhu: Wrong game
Say that to the Aboleth. They come close to the Lovecraftian mythos than any other creature
@@KlavierMenn or the mind flayer
@@Caragoner well yea, those too. But aboleths live in the water... and Y'know... deeep ones and all
@@KlavierMenn true. Too bad that makes campaigns around them so hard
@@Caragoner not by much? I mean you can have a ilithilich sorcerer that escaped the society that shunned it and ended up on the surface and then befriended some humans and got curious about them.
Fiends: you are aware of the blood war and recognize that the entirety of the multiverse hinges on a stalemate.
Or in my case: Fiends: You ignore all of the D&D lore about the blood war, and make devils and demons the same group of creatures, and have all the evil creatures being the servants of Morgoth, even so far as to make giant spiders speak Common and Abyssal (as well as making giant spiders fiends rather than beasts), and make orcs be corrupted elves. You also try to make elves live forever as well, and try to explain away gnomes as being a type of elf, like how halflings are a type of human.
@@peter_kitsune easy there Tolkin
I'm home
Myconid: as a drug addict, the thought of a mushroom creature brings a tear to your eye
I have never feeled More knowtested
I just want to try panfried buttery garlic myconid caps
Kobolds creatures. You love the force your players down tight corridors that are completely filled to the brim with traps that can either instantly kill your party or trap them in some corner to be sold off later to a more higher being that would love to buy humans or any other thing that there to enter a kobolds home.
And if all else fails love to surround your whole entire party with a horde of kobolds throwing Spears and slings at them.
Gravity: The secret boss of every campaign, always lurking in the shadows waiting to turn some unfortunate PC into a stain on the ground.
Oh my God, you finally revealed the true secret villain. “Rocks fall, everyone dies” should have been a giveaway.
Or the ceiling. Reverse Gravity Trap, bitches!
"Dirty skeletons" !?
How dare you, i can assure you most skeletons keep themselves clean, and even if they weren't, they don't have a metabolism !
How could they even get dirty !
I am a living human of course, just pissed off at the blatant anti-skeleton propaganda.
I even have flesh and skin on top of my bones.
Let's not forget the DMs who whenever they swarm you skeletons after a while bone puns and the spooky skeletons songs appear
Humans are just skeletons in costume
@@douglasphillips5870 That's a blatant lie.
We humans are NOT skeletons.
I should know, i breath oxygen and eat organic matter after all.
I'm assuming this is a joke, but on the chance that it isn't, he said thirty (30) skeletons
I know ur secret, skeleton
Ocer jelly: your first game was phandelin wasn’t it?
ditto for nothics
Yep, we just fought one of these at the end of a session. I thought my Celestial Warlock would be screwed when it fell down on top of him, but he turned out fine and the ooze went down real quick thanks to a Guiding Bolt from our Cleric and a Divine Smite/Thunderous Smite combo from our Paladin.
Icespire.... because throwing cr 2 monsters that are immune to slashing is totally fit for a lvl1 party
carpe dm I am running it now and one PC had fallen unconscious TWICE during that quest. Another fell unconscious once as well. We only had 3 players so it was even harder.
@@antalnagy5780 read ahead and remove any immunities.
The champaign has WERERATS.
They are immune to weapons that are not-silvered.
The champaign at no point hints at the need for silvered weapons, nor does it give the players a way to get silvered weapons.
My party is made of almost exclusively non-casters (most spellcasting players are 1 paladin and 1 warlock) they would have no way of hurting the wererats other than eldritch blast.
Also, if I didnt fugde the die and change the immunity to a resistence(but kept the splitting) the party wouldve died.
8 hp? 12 hp? The monster attacks for 3d6+2
Shambling Mound - As a DM you like watching players try to heal their teammate who is being digested rapidly. Also, you want to teach them a lesson about not bringing all lightning spells on their tempest cleric.
On that note there are a few healing spells that will heal a digesting player such as healing spirit. It only blocks ones that require line of sight or for the target to hear you.
Owlbear: You really, really wish the druid could turn into these, and have been known to homebrew rules that let them do it.
Beholder: Your players' ACs are too high, and nothing can hit them. Luckily, they haven't invested in saving throws.
Aboleth: You like deep, lore-focused storytelling much more than your players do.
Giant spider: Either you're a goth, like the Lord of the Rings, or like Harry Potter. Probably the former.
Goblin: You love building massive, interconnected dungeons, filled with complex traps and encounters that are mathematically easy but prove to be deadly in practice, but haven't heard of kobolds. Either that, or you're lying to yourself.
Hobgoblin: You really wish D&D was a system better designed for massive-scale combat.
Kraken: You like the deep ocean. You also want the final boss to be the warlock's patron.
Gelatinous Cube: You like dungeon hazards to be part of the dungeon's design, not just monsters in a room. Or you like cubes, for some reason. I won't judge.
I do wish my Druid could become an owlbear. Very accurate
Geletinous cube fun because *m I n E c R a F t*
In what world are giant spiders, classic fantasy enemies, for goths, when there are literal demons, devils, shadows, undead, and lycanthropes in this game to cover all levels
@@corbinbarron8772 I was just thinking of the gothic monster roster - lycanthropes, vampires, undead, and giant spiders are classics for that genre. I'm also saying this as a goth who loves giant spiders, so no offense was meant by it.
@mr.wendigo If anything, kobolds are far closer to Soviet Russian than any goblinoid.
To expand on fiends,
Devils: Exactly what you already said in the video
Demons: you are either the DM, you saw some cool demonlord statblocks and decided to make one the bbeg of your campaign, or you're just genuinely interested in demons and the abyss and your favourite module is out of the abyss.
Yuguloths: you're really into obscure monsters and monster types that practically nobody knows about and you copy a bunch of assets from earlier editions because 5e has basically nothing about yuguloths
Abominations: you converted them from the epic players handbook to 5e and now your players are on turn 20 shooting at the phaethon with a regen of 40 while half the party got grappled and absorbed into the living magma
Orcs: You're very traditional in your approach to stories, and bad guys tend to be more of blunt weapons more than grand schemers.
"You've never successfully killed anyone with these jelly cubes"
RIP my friend's cleric on the penultimate session. Gelatinous cubes are brutal of you fail your strength saves. I had to bend the rules to allow lightningbolt to miss the trapped PCs so they didn't TPK.
EDIT: to clarify, this was a level 4-5 party (not all same level, there was a Deck of Many Things, long story). So they weren't underleveled.
Helmed horrors: as a Dm you mostly use this on any warlock stepping out of line. As a player you fear this thing at any level.
Nymph and Satyr: You’re using D&D to work through some….issues.
Aboleth: Your first exposure to fantasy was Lovecraft.
Flumph: You’re old…you’re so terribly, terribly old…
"you know who could attempt that?"
Brian.
David.
Gilbert.
Holy
Shit.
We need that to happen now. First the MM, then Mordenkainen's, then Volo's, all left to fucking right.
@@kylestanley7843 I have two words: Castlevania video.
"The thought of an abberation ever showing up in the campaign still keeps them up at night" they said i couldn't make a creepy campaign, Forced them to witness a mind flayer larva being put inside of a dragon and it transforming before brutally TPK'ing my party
should not have gave you incentive
Kobold your party isn’t communist or you roll too low in combat and need advantage
... what? i just want them to be happy ; - ;
Kobolds/Goblins: HORDE!!!
Also city guards. 😉
Hm, but kobolds are pretty much _the_ communists of D&D.
More like "your party isn’t communist _enough_ for your taste".
@@stretopovermind9680 that's what i meant whoops
Heh.
Kobold totem warrior barbarian (wolf): Now EVERYONE gets to be communist!
Beholders: You want to control everything and be omniscient. Maybe you should be the DM.
Fang/Thorn Dragon: Its obscure lore regarding its origins means "It's Free Real Estate". You want to be able to subvert expectations, hitting your players' characters both psychologically and physically, while making sure the bard can't ruin your plans; because you can't really make out safely with a dragon version of a porcupine that has the personality similar to Hannibal Lecter.
"I had the Bard, with a nice side of the Cleric's kidney beans.
- you can't really make out safely with a dragon version of a porcupine that has the personality similar to Hannibal Lecter
Where there's a will there's a way =)
Gnolls: You feel really bad for the gnolls as a whole, you are tired of orcs being the bad guys, or the thought of sending a pack of ravenous humanoid creatures just seems cool to you.
Damage Types:
Slashing - You are a warrior class and you like to hit things, or you picked a race that has an unarmed strike and always use it just because.
Bludgeoning - You are a cleric and have either been playing or the game since 1st edition or always wondered why they are given bludgeoning weapons in their starting equitment.
Piercing - You are likely an archer who wants to save your skin.
Fire - You use the fireball spell all the time and hate that everything is immune to fire.
Poison - You are either a green Dragonborn or you are an assassin who comes up with great plans to kill that one noble who's causing so much trouble but is dead wait against practically anything else.
Acid - You are a warlock who uses the acid splash cantrip too much, or you are a black Dragonborn who uses his breath weapon too much.
Cold - You are a wizard who really likes the cone of cold spell or you are a DM setting your campaign in a cold region.
Lightning - You are a blue Dragonborn, or you've figured out how to use the lightning bolt spell.
Necrotic - You love playing evil characters, or you are a DM who loves sending undead after the party. Or you've just fallen in love with the blight spell.
Force - You are a warlock who loves eldritch blast or a wizard who refuses to cast anything except magic missile.
Radiant - You are a paladin or cleric who realizes that anything that's going to be resistant to your attacks is probably on your side.
Thunder - You are a DM who loves quirky damage types and has probably homebrewed a type of dragon that has this as a breath weapon, or you are a druid who likes turning into earth elementals.
Psychic - You have a character that is useless half the time and overpowered the rest of the time, or you are a DM who loves abberations.
1:32 Actually, my favorite elemental (and favorite monster) is the Flail Snail. Yes it is classified as an Elemental.
A man of culture
Fey are my feyvorite monster type so here you have it
What your favourite fey says about you:
Blink dog,
You love animal companions and either try to get one or just play beast master ranger and beg your DM to give you one.
Satyr:
Your favourite class is the bard and you jumped a whole through your roof when they made Satyr a playable race.
Green hag:
You like classic fairy tales and love folklore.
Night hag:
You like the older grimmer versions of fairy tales and are surprised this is indeed a fiend and not a fey.
Sprite:
You constantly remind everyone how "yes sprites do like thier slillyness but they are also great warriors" and then you ramble about them for 30 min straight
Red cap
You liked this creature because it looks like a gnome but liked it even more when you learned it needs to put blood on his cap survive.
Pixie,
You are either that strange luna lovegood kid that constantly said weird things and probably owns several (sometimes very graphic) pixie statuettes or you just like to fuck with your party.
Yeth hound,
I mean.... what is wrong with you.
Dryad,
You get mad when people confuse them with nymphs and you probably love Greek mythology.
Eladrin
You like to collect minis but you are also a perfectionist and thus have spent way to much money on them
Boggle
They just look... funny.
Korreds:
You like funky music and weed. You would kill for a korreds dreadlocks
Meenlock:
EEEEEDGGGEEEEE. But besides that you love lore. Especially dark and deep lore
Quickling
You don't take d&d to seriously. You like to exploit the system and make stupid (overpowerd) combos.
You also learn to SERIOUSLY hate playing as a low Charisma fighter when Confusion hits you... and that automatically makes you a prank target for every fey in the area...
Night Hags are actually fiends though.
@@meowdynyall9284 correct you are i think I ment it the other way around
Hobgoblin: You think of yourself as a tactician, but always overestimate how useful that 18 AC will be in a fight.
Gazebo: You just run with whatever silliness the players are up to, and you attack with the dumbest thing they won't expect.
Living Spells: You like the versatility and potential brokenness of turning any spell into an actual monster. Also a big flaming hand making gestures is pretty cool too.
"...Never kill a player with a ooze"
One of my BBEG is a ooze
let me gess, juiblex?
@@commanderblackheart5856 Nope, it's inspired in a elder oblex, but some changes plus level up. A bit of intrigue and betrayal in the beginning, to end with the discovery and a way to defeat, finalizing with a interesting confrontation.
@@Zarlos01 hah, ok.
cadaver collector: you’re metal as hell
Beholder, you had a lot of fun in water deep
I got recently Waterdeep Dragon Heist. As the DM, oh boy I will have fun.
Yugoloth: You as a DM like to use the less known things. You the type of person who likes gem dragons too. You properly prefer to use the fanart of the Ultraloth where they have a mouth.
demogorgon: you are the ultimate D&D fan, you buy all the books, all the editions, and at lest 1 of every miniature, session 1 of stranger thing's was the best thing that ever happened on netflex as of your concern, you have the entire d&d cartoon on disk. you are deeply offended when people talk about orcus, demogorgon's nemesis, in a positive light.
2:37 I'll have you know I totally did kill a player with a Cube! I put it at the bottom of a pit trap, because I'm evil.
Ooze: You either have VGM and only like slithering trackers or you are a cultist of Juiblex
Skeleton: You are a nerd about undertale and keeps trying to make homebrew of sans. Your player are always afraid because you play megolovania before every sans boss fight
Shhhhhh! His sister will get ideas!
Skeletons: You played too much necromancer in Diablo II or played too much undead in Warcraft III and liked skelis before sans
aka ME.
i LOVE playing necromancers or a skeleton who has to hide hes a skeleton, even have a char ready thats an undying hobgoblin warlock whos actually a hobgoblin skeleton reanimated by his patreon, a powerfull lich who lost most of his body and is homesick.
I’m currently working on stat blocks for 208 different Pokémon. I have finished 28 of them so far.
Revenant: You either had a favorite villain the party killed in one round and want to bring back or the party likes reoccurring enemies.
Zombies: you like making fights last as long as humanly possible and enjoy inflicting pain on your players
You also HATE it when the paladin or cleric uses Turn Undead... or any sort of radiant damage.
"Almost every module revolves around a dragon"
Me: Well, no, Curse of Strahd revolves around an ancient evil vampire, who took over the land of barovia and nobody has been able to even reach him besides Gandalf and a silver drag- Fair point.
Goblinoids: all of your friends hate them, but you find their lore and societies fascinating
"Goblin-brain" is the name for a phenomenon at my table. Basically, whenever someone falls for an "ooh shiny" trap, "goblin-brain" got the better of them. This is because sometimes I'll start a boss fight with some sort of lure, and rather than have the dumbass player go "hurr hurr touch the shiny in the giant empty room," I have a goblin that was Already in the Room I Swear do it for them.
My half orc ranger who tried multiple times to befriend goblins and kobolds
My list
Monster type = humanoid(kobold)
Race = tabaxi
Class = bard
Weapon = shortsword
My furry sensors are tingling.
Most of those are red flags
I’m sensing a pattern I’m not sure I like
Hotel = Trivago
Henrique De Moura Bogler how did you know?!
Basilisk:
You have watched Harry Potter more than twice, and and you don’t care about the critical art mistake in the monster manual
You mean the legs?
that is how the greek one was.
Fantasy_MC1440 o I didn’t know
So whats liking Morkoths say about me.
Theres just something about a spellcasting octopus that can throw the wizards spells back at him and loves to hoard stuff.
Zombies - you like The Walking Dead and other similar movies.
Skeletons - you have a bone to pick with that fella with that shotgun and gauntlet hand, and the chainsaw.
I never wonder about 7 camels, what the hell lmao
But what about...8 camels?
Don't tell us lies mate. The thought of seven camels haunt you at night.
Cadaver Collector: You’re edgy, or are a fan of the Iron Giant.
Superman...
Plants types do have one monster that I say needs to be respected. The "Shambling Mound" is a creature I shapechanged into one day and killed the BBEG ancient black shadow dragon with in single combat. I was a necromancer wizard in 5e and took control of 2 will-o-wisp as my pets and kept them in my demiplane unless i needed them. When we fought the BBEG the, he through everyone into demiplanes to face a challenge before he would. I called him a coward and requested a duel. He accepted. I summoned my wisp pets and shapechanged to shambling mound and had my wisp attack only me. The BBEG couldnt do more damage then points my wisp healed me with.
thats because your dm forgot to make you take concentration rolls to keep the form
“What your favorite god says about you”
Helm: you listen to The Last Stand semi regularly, and have called people heretics in day to day life
Olidammara: you wanted to make an alcoholic cleric and looked this dude up,and feel sad there wasn't more info
Ao: you think you're real slick don't you
Gond: you tried to convince your DM that since the DMG has cannons and gunpowder barrels exist you should be able to have flintlocks. You've played or at least made an artificer.
Cyric: you are an edgy rat bastard
Sloopdiddlebloop or whatever the kuo-toa lobster lady god is: you watch Zee Bashew and liked his episode on the funny fish people but the DM wouldn't let you homebrew a god they made
Pelor: you enjoy divine smite on an almost unhealthy level
The Devourer: good job actually reading the eberron sourcebook instead of reading the races and artificer then skimming the magic item list.
Any more y'all can think of?
Plant: you want to get one back on the druid who's been breaking every encounter
Succusbus:
Cause sometimes its just fun to see if they are gonna simp or try to withhold their jokes . also we all have watched interspieces reviewers, we dont have to to hide it
Nightmare: you WILL have one as a mount.
Aboleth: You really want to open a rift to the Far Realm in one of your campaigns.
I just had my first session in a campaign I’m making involve faerie dragons, their first mission that I let them decide on was to load and protect some ale for the city’s upcoming festival where I’ll drop the story hinting npc, so what I decided was the faerie dragons wanted to sneak in and crack open an ale barrel and let them drink to their hearts content while having a minor illusion keep the players from noticing, which like I figured one of them did notice
Grung: you wish more people knew they were a playable race
Favourite Race: Grung. You don't care that you can't speak common.
Ha! My favorite is monstrosity, and I've memorized most of them, despite having never played the game lol.
Same here with Fiends and some Abberations... and I also never played the game lol.
Monstrosities really appeal to a different demographic than the rest of the critters in the game. A lot of the stuff in the game has a very sword-and-sorcery feel to it, but a lot of monstrosities have an almost Monster Hunter sort of vibe, in terms of being a massive, dangerous beast. I very much like that. Same with aberrations, in a way - they give a game an eldritch horror feel.
@@cthulhufhtagn2483 Now I want a mod that takes Rajang's skeleton and turns it into an owlbear.
@@kylestanley7843 Right?
Blue dragon: You’re the type of dm that can make a carriage ride a whole session.
"You've never successfully killed anyone with these jelly cubes"
*laughs in Gelatinous Cube siege ammunition*
Used slimes as literal ordinance during a siege, launching them via trebuchet, and wiping out swaves of infantry and citizenry alike while sapper teams sabotaged the docks. Paladin sacrificed themself by pushing an ally out of the way of an incoming Black Pudding flying at near terminal velocity.
Nivix Cyclops: You are a dm that has a lot of spell casters in the party and/or you want to make "Teleports behind you" jokes
Dark Lords of Ravenloft:
- Because you want your players to suffer
- You're a masochist player wanting that special blend of castlevania meets souls games meets good old classic horror
- You're someone that enjoys dread, thrills, and chills of possibly getting a BBEG's attention
- You and Death of Characters have moved passed the testing waters phase
The mimic you want to put a trap or puzzle in the judgment but you're not smart enough or sure how to do it so you put in a mimic
Mine are incubus, succubus, nymph, dryad, saytr, centaur, and...
I think what they say about you is you look at to much fan art
So the "hot" monsters
@@kylestanley7843 Centaur and Satyr are hot ????
@@MathieuDuval you're asking me? I put it in quotes, ask OP lol
Mathieu Duval Greek satyrs are canonically hung. Centaurs I’m chalking up to a general love of Greek stuff (or some interesting kinks).
Yuan- Ti:
You're a DM who hates your party and they all have a phobia of snakes
Aberrations are life
For the undead.... I ran a dungeon of undead. And they moonbeamed everything. It was one of the easiest dungeons... for them
Rust monster: AAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! Yeah, that about sums it up.
More like "god damnit. I really liked that sword."
I just ended up punching it to death when I found one
Lich:you think you're the smartest in the room and you like coming up with long term plans and yet you always forget your car keys.
Rust Monster: You like to take your players down a notch when they get too cocky. Facing the boss encounter is always more fun without your sword.
Quori: You can't wait until you het shapechange, because you wanna make some slaves
My party beat our DM's entire arc fight with one spell.
Our bard cast cloud of daggers on a wizard using a god level artifact, a greater demon, and a superhuman. They all had the full 7 colors of prismatic barrier cast around them...
Needless to say they all violently exploded and were banished except the wizard who was just stuck as a statue.
Dracolich: you love dragons but wanna host a undead campaign.
Aberrations: Maybe you like existential dread, maybe you just want to punish characters who dumped intelligence. Or perhaps you’ve seen a glimpse of the world beyond the veil and want to show it to your player characters
Gelatinous cube: you like it because it takes up a 10x10x10 space
Mimic: DMs: you used it one time and now you're party stabs everything before touching it
Players: you now have trust issues with your DM despite only encountering 1
Red dragon: you either make smog or make it act like a white Dragon
Mind flares: your party has low IQ and either you named one Squidward or your party calls one or the entire race Squidward
Last time I came this early I became a dad
oof
Shambling mound: if you are currently not rolling death saving throws or dead, *thats gonna change real soon*
Mimiks, you find the lore behind them funny and the DM has probably jumpscared the party with oneof these guys.
Nothic: you like to use this monster every time your player keeps a secret from party members or npc characters to start in-fighting, or against that wizard who won't stop casting illusions to get past everything
Or Lost Mines of Phandelver was your first adventure
