And don't get me wrong, it's still a very cool monster, with multiple legs around a cylindrical body and a flower-like set of four jaws and a bunch of eyes around it, but it also feels a fair bit more mundane from the positively alien-looking rocket-cylinders of 1E and 2E. 5E's Dire Corbies are noted to travel in large packs (large murders, since these are technically ravens) and they just basically strip all the tunnels they pass through of life, basically making them creepier, man-sized locust swarms, and it's noted that this is basically a twisted versions of the traveling patterns of a migratory bird... and I do like the little bit of detail noting that Underdark travelers will prize maps that lay out the migrations of these giant flocks of Dire Corbies, which would allow them to walk through tunnels where the Dire Corbies have helped to clean up the monsters that would've otherwise be troublesome.

Originally just a race of men with bird heads and feet, 4E and 5E's art update makes them significantly more creepy-looking with anatomically accurate raven heads. The cover art was by Max Dunbar, and the interior art was by Whitters, Tanji, Dunbar, Taylor Ingvarsson, Rebecca On, and Nick Southam. Again, as with most 5E fey creatures, the Mite are born when an associated emotion is felt by a person in the material plane -- namely when someone is so irritated that they lash out in violence, and then gets directed by strange dream to sleepwalk to the nearest tree, dig a hole, scream into it and fill it up. In 3.5E, we don't really learn anything about the Xill other than it's an extra-planar being who exists only to implant eggs in other creatures, but 5E tells us that the Xill are spawned from a particularly sinister demiplane, which are miniature worlds created by powerful archmages. That's what I get for typing this out on my phone in a hurry. They're the descendants of satyrs corrupted by a bargain with devils, and is described as being the bizarre union between the rigid demands of the devils and the impulsiveness of the Feywild. Ranger Beast Master: 'Tasha's Cauldron of Everything' Official Fix! I think they did a great job on the story hooks. They hate and resent all large creatures, because big creatures will prey and bully smaller creatures (or, in Underdark creatures' case, harvest their skin to make stealth cloaks).

They are also able to communicate and control rats, meaning that the presence of rats is usually a sign that there is a Jermlaine infestation somewhere.

I purchased a copy of Mordenkainen's Fiendish Folio, Vol 1, the new Extra Life monster book on the DM's Guild and I thought I'd share my thoughts and open it up to a conversation on it.Note: I'm not familiar with the 1E Fiend Folio, so this will simply be my thoughts on the 5E … They sure have crab pincers, but between the beak and the lack of anything crab-esque, they look more like a bunch of Star Trek aliens found themselves in a cave. One-click unsubscribe later if you don't enjoy the newsletter. Jermlaines basically hide out in little nooks and crannies in the Underdark (again, more Underdark monsters) and wait for moments of opportunity where they have the right amount of numbers to beat up drows and duergars. Not my favourite creature here, but there's definitely some thought put into this one. While the previous bestiaries highlighted more about the cultures of the Illithids, Drow and Duergar that live in the Underdark, I have a sense that this Fiend Folio is trying to expand more on the wacky underground creatures of the Underdark. Whichever reference suits your tastes better. They are, The Blindheim's eyes now deal radiant damage, which is the same sort that things like priest and paladin spells do, which... hey, if these frog-men can emit light from their eyes, why not. 5E's Norkers give them a bit more depth, even if the appearance is more or less still basically the same. And the reason for this? Turns out that 5E Crab Folk are actually originally ogres, transformed by a green hag in ages past to help guard a coastal region (because they are so dumb they kept drowning, silly ogres), and creating a whole new race.

This is an unofficial D&D site made by Zoltar to collect designer tweets and help players of the best game ever created. 5E's Fiend Folio makes it ambiguous what the Xill does with their abducted victims (with the suggestion that the Xills brainwash them to guard Keraptis's demiplane), maybe so that there isn't too much obvious overlap with the Assassin Bug, but older editions are consistent in having the Xill lay their eggs on the hapless humans. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. 1-800-324-6496 EUROPEAN HEADQUARTERS Wizards of the Coast, Belgium T Hosfveld 6d 1702 Groot-Bijgaarden Belgium +32-70-23-32-77 This site works best with JavaScript enabled.

I do find the 5E artwork to look particularly interesting, with sallow and almost thin features compared to the brutish, mountain-barbarian-msucle-men vibe of the 3E and 2E Fog Giants. In 5E, the Needleman has been renamed as the Needle Spawn (or also referred to as 'Needlefolk' by Mordenkainen's post-it notes), and it's basically the Swamp Thing, but instead of goopy plant detritus, it's made entirely out of plant thorns. Those things are basically just little cylinders that end in maws, with a bunch of weird eyes that either point outwards like a bizarre robot (2E) or littered almost haphazardly around the circumference of the mouth... and those bizarre fins that make the Khargra look like they're swimming in the water like some sort of bizarre alien approximation of a fish... except that the Khargra are earth elemental creatures and they 'swim' through dirt and rock and the air.
