Demogorgon in a Bottle

Due to some absurd (and fun!) random tables my players got Demogorgon in a Bottle. Demogorgon has become his own character over the last few sessions constantly trying to make a deal with the party to let him out – which the party refuses. But they are caught – they dont want to let him […]

Sutolore the Outcast Varrangoin

My PCs ran from this guy abandoning treasure in fear. Posted here for reference. Varrangoins resembled emaciated man-sized humanoids with huge leathery bat wings, terrifying skull-like faces, and dark grey or black skin. Their tails were barbed on their ends and filled with a potent poison.[1]Varrangoins were extremely sensitive to sunlight. Each varrangoin had an […]

Zipper Demon (Cerniera Daemonium)

Working my way through Vornheim. Some clever ideas here for running a city campaign. But what spiked my curiosity were the unique takes on some monsters and some of the unique monsters. Can definitely imagine using these in my 5e OSR game. This would probably work well as a template as well. Based on […]

Goatscorpion

Working my way through Vornheim. Some clever ideas here for running a city campaign. But what spiked my curiosity were the unique takes on some monsters and some of the unique monsters. Can definitely imagine using these in my 5e OSR game. Goat’s head, giant scorpion’s body. It despises innocence and will attack the […]

Carnifex the Demonic Plumber

5e (simplified) conversion from Maze of the Blue Medusae for my own reference. THE DEMONIC PLUMBER Carnifex appears as a blue and yellow obese bipedal toad with a dozen eyes and sharp sabertooth-like teeth. He cackles and giggles like a madman finding everything, in particular misfortune, funny. If killed he turns into a puddle of […]

Shura no Oni

Inspired by Sekiro. Shura (修羅 Carnage) is what those who go on killing eventually become. They don’t remember why, but they are simply enraptured and kill solely for the joy it brings them. These oni are uncontrollable and the best the oni lords can do is point them in a direction and hope they do […]

Sir Kargoth the First Death Knight

Originally appearing in Dungeon #150 as part of the Savage Tide Adventure Path I converted him for use in a dreamscape boss fight orchestrated by Ilsensine as part Dawn of the Overmind. It is one of two monsters that Demogorgon can summon to aide him in the boss fight – the other being Arendagrost. Two options […]

ONI

A list of bad guys for my game and any Oriental Adventure setting – in particular a Japanese themed setting. ONI Oni were the demonic monstrosities that made up the most powerful forces of the Shadowlands. Oni only gained a physical presence in the realm of mortals if spawned by an Oni Lord or by being summoned from Jigoku by someone […]

JUIBLEX

Another thematically tweaked demon lord for Out of the Abyss. JUIBLEX Huge fiend (demon) chaotic evil Armour Class 18 (natural armour) Hit Points 350 (28d12 + 168) Speed 30 ft. STR 29 (+9) DEX 14 (+2) CON 26 (+8) INT 20 (+5) WIS 17 (+3) CHA 25 (+7) Saving Throws Dex +7, Con +13, Wis +12 […]
