If I ever used a klurichir, you wouldn't even notice it summoning 6 balors. They are generals, so you're going through an army or two before you even get close enough to smell one of these guys
In the campaign I'm running, the party accidentally awakened an ancient lich whose power rivals god (not Vecna, but something similar). I was planning for there to be a sort of massive war between the lich's forces of various demons, devils and undead and whatever army the players are able to get together, with the ultimate goal of getting into the lich's lair and taking him down. You just gave me the lich's general/living siege weapon
Yep, once again right when I'm wondering what to use for a monster idea for a dungeon/campaign, a really good monster suggestion comes out. Excellent as always.
@@DungeonDad please look at Molydeus. They’re really cool Cr 21 demons from Mordeinkainin’s who also get vorpal attacks. They don’t seem to be as powerful as Klurichir but the book calls them the rung directly above balors.
This thing is basically perfectly made for the videogame thing where you enter the boss fight, think the monster in front of the portal is the boss, and then it gets instantly killed when the boss reaches out of the portal to crawl its way out.
Ive been having trouble finding a big bad boss enemy that isnt a literal worl ender to have as the major end battle for my newer players. I needed something huge and terrifyingly powerful, but nothing that couldnt be theoretically contained by a trio of powerful elves utilizing high magics. I think thisll work, cause my plan is for my players to bring together an old party in the underdark that initially failed their mission and had to run away as a trio of elves managed to contain the beast. The ones that fled cant face their failure, and have gotten lost in the winding caverns and cant find their way back. The players collect the old party members and bring them to this area where only one elf is still maintaining containment. The party, both players and old, then have to work together against a hoard of enemies to not defeat them, but figure out an artifact that, hint, requires the index fingers of 6 powerful spellcasters to become powered, which can then banish or otherwise kill the thing being contained. This feels perfect.
I like the idea of a kluricher hijacking the final battle against a demon lord, by betraying at the last second and and cutting them down as the party is getting ready, and then surprise!
This is one of my favorite, lesser used tropes. The party stares down the final boss, knowing that they may not make it through but are willing to fight anyway, and then something even worse pops up from behind them and tears the end game villan in half.
Fiend Folio is such an underrated book. I've been running a campaign in the nine hells for some months, and both Fiend Folio and the Fiendish Codex add so much to lore and possibilities! Great video! Discovered you last week and and the videos are of top quality production!
So excited to use him as my bbeg. Going to have the players fight a balor. Right before it falls he'll be summoned and grab him by the back of his neck. With a mighty crunch you hear the balor's neck snap while he's cut in half by his pincers. With a mighty roar and tendrils cracking he locks eyes with the party and draws his weapons. Roll for initiative!
I picture the tentacles and mouth acting on its chaotic desires and impulses while it tries to command or talk with the main mouth. Sort of like having a mind of its own except it acts on the main minds desires. So of he is talking to you and the lower mouth eats you mid sentence by its own decision he is not upset as he wanted that anyways.
Something I was wanting to do when I start running games is have a sort of Balor nemesis to the party. Falling time and time again, only to come back in search of revenge. Then it's real master, one of these things, decides to just off the Balor and deal with the party itself as the true boss monster.
1:05 Gandalf and the belrog at that point in the movies and books are on the same level. It's when Gandalf comes back that he's higher on the power level
Idea: a level 10 or so party (so not weak but no where near their full potential) is chosen to stop a daemon lords advance on a kingdom, so they try to convince some greater being to help them only to be turned down, so they try to fight of the daemon lord in vain. But then in the end they are able to convince the Klurichir thats second in command, that the Daemon Lord isnt furthering the abysses goal, thereby making them fight one another. Then whoever comes out on top is heavily wounded and will eather retreat or now be just weak enough so that the party can barely take them out.
Why have I not thought of applying romance of the three kingdoms to demons? I mean the triad work for lesser demons as well. Making this not a blatant rip off as to not be lazy or as some would say “culturally appropriate” something just about all my Asain buddies laugh at the concept at for the most part but I digress
I've got an idea to have a kirlichir with a frostforged wyrm on a chain in combat, and the party's mission is to save the wyrm so it can become a platinum dragon after its torture at the hands of demons. Maybe they need a band of concordant killers to help them fight it and rescue the dragon.
I would love to see "The Monster" from the Champions pen and paper superhero RPG adapted to DnD. I'm sure there is a lot which can be adapted for a fantasy campaign with him. A super strong, hard to damage humanoid with wicked claws, the ability to leap to anywhere, a strong presence attack, a green skull like face and glowing green eyes.
Great video! My only hang up is that I have a 3D resin printer and I love to print bosses/monsters for players to fight but when I try to find files to print for creatures like the Klurichir, I can't find them because they don't exist in 5e. If you know anyone who creates STL files for monsters like this, I'd love to see his or her work. Thanks for bringing these awesome monsters to 5e!
Dungeon dad: it's like a dragon's breath so you're probably not going to use it that often Me who somehow managed to get the dragon's breath and use it for six rounds of combat straight
This just sounds like a bad time. Or a GREAT time. Depending on who you're asking :P As an aspiring DM, I want to use (at least) one of these in my campaign. It's a max level startup OP camp, with premade characters that my players will fill as a "you died in this world and came back to life in this body in another world, shit's going to hell, fix it and you can go home" kind of deal. This might be one of the "minibosses" I use. Yes, I'm absolutely new to this and the players will never suffer permadeath, but if they all get TPK'd they have to start over from a "checkpoint" which they'll have to manually create. I think this could be one of the more fun encounters I can concoct with a horde of demons and undead.
Love the idea of these guys as the true advocate for pushing the Shard of Evil's agenda with all that chaos and selfish rulers. Like a zealotos task master to progress the plans of chaos.
Recalling some other Abyssal lore, there's at least one other demon that could contend within a Klurichir A Molydeus. In the Abyss, there's probably only one Klurichir on any given layer. There’s only one Molydeus per demon prince. A soul bonded weapon that the demon spawns, and can track down effortlessly if separated as long as it's on the same plane, the old one turning to demon ichor if a new one is made. A snake like growth from the back of its head with eyes of the demon prince it's subservient to so they can see what the Molydeus is doing. From that second head, a bite filled with venom that can turn any demon lesser that it to the lowest of manes. The enforcer of a demon prince, and charged with guarding their respective lord's artifact that has the power to bend the will of the demon lord to the whim of the one who takes it.
Thanks. Ahh yes the annihilaters who may or may not be tanari and who may by older then them. Yes even Demogorgon witch I don't like because I think it make's him less special. Their still cool though.
Well the Oberyths are older either way. Demigorgon is the first mortal soul to be turned into Tena'ri, so regardless he's the first of his kind. The " demons" that are older then him are just from a different species, and were never mortal. He's unique regardles
@@agentchaos9332I don't Klurikhirs can be considered Oberyths since they come from the shard of ultimate evil while the Oberyths originate from the Voidherow. And given that the shard is also the thing that created the abyss that and Tena'ri are also made from it you can make an argument that they are Tenar'ri.
My players told me to hit them with my best shot (all four of them are level 20 with legendary gear). I dropped them into the Abyss then sicked six of these and twenty lesser demons on them. They never told me that again. 😈
The Molydeus is also more powerful than the Balor too. Also it wouldn't be in the best interest for a Klurichir to challenge a demon prince/demon lord outright, it'll be killed for such an act. Especially if it's one of the big 3. Now they're not above bailing on a demon lord or leaving them with the bag or even undermining them. They can get away with that because of what they bring to the table and the army that follows them or what force they can take when they leave.
So I've come up with this concept for a grueling, though, undead that swarms a party, but is only a single monster at first. The Plague Swarm is vile, murderous, infestuous and mindless undead. That spreads corruption, decease and plagues where ever it goes. whenever it kills a humanoid that humanoid rises a Plague Swarm. The Plague Swarm is resistant to Bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing, radiant, acid, fire, lightning, and cold damage. It has immunity to psychic, poison and necrotic damage. It also has a necrotic damage absorption ability healing itself whenever it would take necrotic damage. 50hp a single attack +6 to hit 1d8+5 damage +2d6+4 necrotic damage and it's hp maximum is increased and healed by the same amount. And the most terrifying part of this creature is: If you reduce it to reduce it to 0hp and it had still more than 1hp left there follows a deathburst exploding in an explosion of necrotic energy in a 10ft radius dealing 1d10 for every 10 hp it had left (if it had 50 hp that's 5d10, if it had 20 that's 2d10) minimum of 1, 1d10 necrotic damage, spreading chunks of the Plague Swarm in random directions. Than the chunks of remains twist into new, but weaker Plague Swarms with each with only half the amount of hp of the former Plague Swarm. The number of new Plague Swarms is equal to the multitude 5 hp that the original Plague Swarm had (if it had 30 hp that's 6 new Plague Swarms, if it had 15 hp that's 3 new Plague Swarms)minimum of 1 new Plague swarm. So this would start with a single monster that doesn't have much hp, but big spells and big hits can quickly escalate into a hoard of monsters that heal 1 another with their deathburst and they keep multiplying. They can make themselves healthier with their attacks and if the party doesn't catch onto the trick to deal with you could have an easy TPK on your hands. The trick to dealing with them would be to avoid, multiplying them, avoid getting hit and wittle them done with non lethal damage until they have only 1 hp left before you deal the finishing blow. It might also be a good idea to incapacitate them. What do you tink it's CR should be?
Can someone please tell me the name of the song at the of the video? It sounds so awesome, I need it. Would make for a great background music for the reveal of an Klurichir.
I am planning an adventure where my party has to travel to several layers of the Abyss, like Pazunia and the Bloodrift, where they have to fight abyssal lords (mainly obyrith lords, if you know D&D lore you know my party is screwed >:),) and these guys would make the perfect mini boss. muhahahaha!
It would be a nightmare to dm, but what if it was a campaign that cultivates into a massive war like battle avengers end game style. Your players have to run around gaining favor from many very high level characters and monsters just to fight this. It could even be cool to have an actual demon lord who is threatened by this thing fighting along side the players. Just all the shit hitting all the fans as one enormous last hurrah in a game lasting years and many many stories.
@@DungeonDad anatomical clarification question. In humans to make love to the mouth can affectionately be dubbed "skull fucking" , whereas the nether regions "gut fucking". In the case of making gentle, yet passionate love to the klurichir's abdominal mouth which "fucking" would be most appropriate?
Yeah, I’ve created a homebrew monster that could probably fight a Klurichir to a standstill. And the craziest part is that it would be so unassuming to the party, merely appearing as an oddly dressed Human assassin, which it is, but it is SO much more. Not only can it make SIX attacks per turn and respond to opportunity attacks on it with its own opportunity attacks, but it is LITERALLY impossible to kill. If it starts its turn below its hit point maximum and has not taken cold damage since its last turn, it automatically heals to full health. Reducing it to zero hit points doesn’t kill it, and if it hasn’t taken cold damage since being reduced to zero hit points when it starts its next turn, it automatically heals to half its hit point maximum. There is NO way to stop this effect, meaning a Klurichir likely has no way to stop this Human assassin. Especially once you take into account that once you stop dealing cold damage to it, it will start healing again, no matter how many turns you spent dealing cold damage to it.
Kluricher are spawned by the shard of ultimate evil itself so it predates all Tanar’ri and mortal souls, but not the obyriths. None of the demon lords we have stats of are obyriths. It predates every demon we have stats of in 5e except the wastriliths, a very minor form of Obyrith they forgot to tell us was obyrith
It's a balrog, history lesson time: way back in the olden times of dnd, the Balor was created as an almost literal balrog rip, to the point of even being named balrog, same with halflings being called hobbits, then the Tolkien estate and copyright came and had a field day so they changed them to balor and Halfling respectively
These lads are what I'd imagine you'd get if you took an image of a balor to a concept artist and said: "this, but 30% more horrifying".
And throw in a gallon of nightmares fuel
my favorite part of this is how you casually forgot to mention that Klurichir can summon 2 balers once per day
As if the PCs don't have enough of a challenge when facing this thing in combat.
There are going to be already 4 or 5 balors, once the Klurichir steps on one of them and accidentally kills it it can replace it with two more.
If I ever used a klurichir, you wouldn't even notice it summoning 6 balors. They are generals, so you're going through an army or two before you even get close enough to smell one of these guys
I misread this as saying it can summon two Bears once per day and i choked terribly laughing
If your pcs have any cardboard equipment, it will be crushed mercilessly

Hell yes my suggestion came about. Can't wait for dungeon dad to cover hydra variants and linnorms.
"...extremely devastating, brutal and kind of unfair..."
Welcome to the Abyss, kid.
theres one that these demons fear, absolutely terrified of, rip and tear till it is done. the Doom Slayer.
Convincing a gray dragon to hunt and fight a klurichir would be insane
"Scores a crit, its decapitated" Well, giving a party member Level 9 foresight spell and Having a Grave domain cleric nearby to negate those crits
the demon's pincers go snicker-snack.
Grave domain unfortunately wouldn't work. If it works like a Vorpal sword, then the effect procs on rolling a 20 and not on getting a crit.
Im more interested in knowing who can survive with out a head.

Not if it destroys them first

Your videos have exploded so many ideas into my homebrew campaign il be running
The "Oh my God!" in the video... was that Rich Evans from RLM?
I've got an idea to have a kirlichir with a frostforged wyrm on a chain in combat, and the party's mission is to save the wyrm so it can become a platinum dragon after its torture at the hands of demons. Maybe they need a band of concordant killers to help them fight it and rescue the dragon.

Land in the middle of the enemy army, Howl and BOOM, whole platoons gone in one round.
You gonna cover the other big bads in the abyss next ? Like the mulydeus? ( Or how ever u spell that )
Not immediately, but they will most certainly show up on the channel
the molydeus is already statted in 5e
I just hear ,"Blood for the blood god!"
Sounds cool
Wonder if WotC is going to bring in more BBEG that are too cool
We can only hope!
I’m about to run one of these as a one shot. Wish me luck
Damn, step aside Molydeus, you officially published CR21 demon that’s stronger than Balor and armed with vorpal axe, you. You got btfo
Balors are the demonic versions of pit fiends, Molydeae are the demon versions of Solars, and Klurichir are the Demonic equivalent of an Empyreans.

I like how he used bfg division in the start
Balors are barons and nobles of the abyss, the Klurichir are the generals of the abyss
It sounds horrific, but it looks completely rediculous and silly lmao

So I've come up with this concept for a grueling, though, undead that swarms a party, but is only a single monster at first. The Plague Swarm is vile, murderous, infestuous and mindless undead. That spreads corruption, decease and plagues where ever it goes. whenever it kills a humanoid that humanoid rises a Plague Swarm. The Plague Swarm is resistant to Bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing, radiant, acid, fire, lightning, and cold damage. It has immunity to psychic, poison and necrotic damage. It also has a necrotic damage absorption ability healing itself whenever it would take necrotic damage. 50hp a single attack +6 to hit 1d8+5 damage +2d6+4 necrotic damage and it's hp maximum is increased and healed by the same amount.
And the most terrifying part of this creature is:
If you reduce it to reduce it to 0hp and it had still more than 1hp left there follows a deathburst exploding in an explosion of necrotic energy in a 10ft radius dealing 1d10 for every 10 hp it had left (if it had 50 hp that's 5d10, if it had 20 that's 2d10) minimum of 1, 1d10 necrotic damage, spreading chunks of the Plague Swarm in random directions. Than the chunks of remains twist into new, but weaker Plague Swarms with each with only half the amount of hp of the former Plague Swarm. The number of new Plague Swarms is equal to the multitude 5 hp that the original Plague Swarm had (if it had 30 hp that's 6 new Plague Swarms, if it had 15 hp that's 3 new Plague Swarms)minimum of 1 new Plague swarm.
So this would start with a single monster that doesn't have much hp, but big spells and big hits can quickly escalate into a hoard of monsters that heal 1 another with their deathburst and they keep multiplying. They can make themselves healthier with their attacks and if the party doesn't catch onto the trick to deal with you could have an easy TPK on your hands.
The trick to dealing with them would be to avoid, multiplying them, avoid getting hit and wittle them done with non lethal damage until they have only 1 hp left before you deal the finishing blow. It might also be a good idea to incapacitate them.

It could even be cool to have an actual demon lord who is threatened by this thing fighting along side the players. Just all the shit hitting all the fans as one enormous last hurrah in a game lasting years and many many stories.
What is the music at the end of this glorious video?
This is quite different from the Clurichaun, lol
What do I have to roll to "do" the abdominal mouth?
a joint that is just crystal meth
@@DungeonDad anatomical clarification question. In humans to make love to the mouth can affectionately be dubbed "skull fucking" , whereas the nether regions "gut fucking". In the case of making gentle, yet passionate love to the klurichir's abdominal mouth which "fucking" would be most appropriate?

Yeah, I’ve created a homebrew monster that could probably fight a Klurichir to a standstill. And the craziest part is that it would be so unassuming to the party, merely appearing as an oddly dressed Human assassin, which it is, but it is SO much more. Not only can it make SIX attacks per turn and respond to opportunity attacks on it with its own opportunity attacks, but it is LITERALLY impossible to kill. If it starts its turn below its hit point maximum and has not taken cold damage since its last turn, it automatically heals to full health. Reducing it to zero hit points doesn’t kill it, and if it hasn’t taken cold damage since being reduced to zero hit points when it starts its next turn, it automatically heals to half its hit point maximum. There is NO way to stop this effect, meaning a Klurichir likely has no way to stop this Human assassin. Especially once you take into account that once you stop dealing cold damage to it, it will start healing again, no matter how many turns you spent dealing cold damage to it.
miss you already
Don't forget about the molydeus
20D8 psychic damage. Christ.
There is a monster similar to this one in Dragons Dogma Bitterblack Island Dlc. 🤔
Im curious what's the devil's equivalent of a klurichir
When I first saw the title, I misread it as "clurichaun". Nope.
Hahaha, just a slightly different creature
Kluricher are spawned by the shard of ultimate evil itself so it predates all Tanar’ri and mortal souls, but not the obyriths.
None of the demon lords we have stats of are obyriths. It predates every demon we have stats of in 5e except the wastriliths, a very minor form of Obyrith they forgot to tell us was obyrith
There is actually an Obyrith Stat block in MToF for an Obyrith fleshsculptor
It look like it do da shoop da whoop
is it balor or balrog? honestly i want to know. i thought the balor was the badass but i guess grandpa has to chime in
Two names for the same thing due to copyright laws
It's a balrog, history lesson time: way back in the olden times of dnd, the Balor was created as an almost literal balrog rip, to the point of even being named balrog, same with halflings being called hobbits, then the Tolkien estate and copyright came and had a field day so they changed them to balor and Halfling respectively
Can you make a video about the shard of evil please!?
Balor killed gandalf? Wasn't it a balrog that killed him, a fallen maiar? Or am I missing an in joke. New to D&D.
I'm confused too, I thought he was just mispronouncing balrog but it's probably just a D&D joke, or he mixed the two up
To be fair, Dungeon Dad showed Balor artwork in this video, and it looks a lot like the Balrog. Maybe it's the same as the Hobbit/Halfling situation.
Balors were based on balrogs. They even had the same name until changed for copyright reasons.
Balor is balrog
MORE OBYRITHS PLZ.
Tarrask vs Clurachir
Awesome shirt
Am I wrong or in the older editions balors were a higher CR than klurichirs?
In 3rd edition a balor is CR 20, and a klurichir is CR 25.
It was the Sibriex that really got nerfed, originally they were the strongest non-unique demons( as in not counting named demon lords or evil gods)
I want to find the shard an put it in my lightsaber
