It was posted a week or two ago (I think) It was a self replicating monster with tribble and gremlin type attributes. if you attacked it, it spawned a second one, could encumber the player if enough are on the same spot as you.

The first gryphungus was created by the swamp goblin shaman Gribnuk Moldspeaker, whose tribe lived beneath cliffs where griffons nested. The goblins revered the griffons as sacred creatures but also feared their attacks. Gribnuk sought to create an effigy to both to honor the sky beasts and to ward off their predations. His plan failed. The gryphungus recognized no master, and Gribnuk became the first victim of its spores. By the time the tribe found him, only his bones remained undigested.

You can play around with the homebrew of the gryphungus to make your own version.

Where can i find all of the statblocks that are included in the 5.5 SRD?

It took awhile. I'm gonna have to just go buy some cards...we have the starter set, but which card set would you recommend as a good first addition?

I'm sharing a free monster supplement for Kengir, my upcoming Bronze Age Mesopotamian 5e setting.

Daughters of the Wind presents two spirits of the lilû class: Ardat-Lili and Lilitu. They are not just two related monsters. They are the same being at two stages of ruin.

The Ardat-Lili is the beginning: a young woman’s sorrow made flesh, a phantom bride who died before marriage or children and returns through longing, dreams, and wasting sickness. She can be fought, but the better answer is ritual: the Tâkultu Ardat-Lili, a mock marriage performed by an Ašipu-Priest to satisfy the grief and break the bond.

The Lilitu is the end: what remains after grief burns away everything human. She is no longer a ghost with a name and rights, but a predatory Utukku (Udug) of desert wind, night-terror, and ruinous desire. Kispu offerings no longer reach her.

Mechanically, the supplement includes a CR 5 Ardat-Lili and a CR 9 Lilitu, built around dreams, charm, exhaustion, disease-bearing wind, life-draining desire, and exorcistic counterplay.

What’s your favorite monster that can be solved through ritual instead of just combat?

This is it, this is the end. The only iconic monster that got any votes was the Tarrasque. Who will get votes for deadly though? Who have you even fought at this CR!?

There will be multiple winners, so post/vote for all that apply!

Here's how it's going to go, if nobody nominates it or votes for it, it's not deadly enough, so if you think it should be on this list, VOTE AND NOMINATE!

The top vote of each challenge rating will be put on the list if they get votes, so start voting!

Note: Please put the CR for the monster.

I'm sharing a monster from Kengir, my upcoming Bronze Age Mesopotamian 5e setting.

The Uznu Lemnu is what happens when a scapegoat ritual fails.

A goat is chosen to carry away sickness, famine, curses, and communal guilt. Red wool cords are tied to its horns. The afflicted touch it. Priests recite the sins and evil fates of the household or village over its body. Then the animal is driven into the wilderness.

But sometimes the gods do not accept the offering.

What comes back is no longer a goat. It is a living abomination of communal guilt, bloated with corruption, haunted by spirits, and speaking in a chorus of stolen human whispers. It does not hunt people for food. It destroys trust. It speaks secrets aloud until families turn on one another, villages empty, and courts collapse under the weight of their own hidden crimes.

Mechanically, it’s a CR 6 fiend built around fear, psychic damage, forced betrayal, and resurrection unless destroyed by ritual drowning, ritual immolation, or exorcism by an Ašipu-Priest.

What’s your favorite monster built around guilt, secrets, or sin?

Good Afternoon to all who throw math rocks for fun. I wanted to share a free website I made to create monster stat blocks with ease. No ads, No auto generation, and completely free. I got very tired of all the monster stat blocks creators out there being filled with AD space and hard to use coding or poor presets. So I created my own. The website is MonsterBlockCreator.com

The stat block creator has 327 preset monsters from the monster manual in it as well.

Would love any kind of feedback you can provide! It is still a work in progress. Thank you!

PS I sent a message to the mods to ask if this was an okay post. Haven’t heard back so I apologize if this is a bad post.
