dnd5e-monsters

A collection of 5e homebrew monsters and vehicles including lore, descriptions, and stat blocks.

Resources

If a resource was written for another 5e homebrew document, it will include a link to the source at the bottom of its page.

Monsters

Monsters are arranged by creature type and listed alphabetically, but any stat blocks that are part of a single family of creatures (e.g. void dragons) will share a single content page. Monsters with multiple creature types will be listed under whatever is considered their primary creature type. Monsters with no default creature type are given the Special creature type label, with the specifics of determining their creature type defined within their stat blocks.

Compatibility

This content was written to be compatible with Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition. It makes the following modifications from Systems Reference Document 5.1:

• "Species" is used in place of "race". "Ancestry" or "variant" is used in place of "subrace".
• This document uses new traits called Condition Resistance and Condition Vulnerability. Resistance to a condition means that a creature has Advantage on Saving Throws made to resist that condition, and vulnerability to a condition means that a creature has Disadvantage on such Saving Throws.
• Damage and condition resistance, vulnerability, and immunity are now grouped together as Resistances, Vulnerabilities, and Immunities respectively.
• Resistance, vulnerability, and immunity to Poison apply to both the damage type and the Poisoned condition.
• This document offers new options for the Alchemist class by balab.
