Dome Animals roam the steppes. They resemble miniature yaks trapped under a furry soup bowl. They are very hard to tip or crack. Delicious if boiled, but people tend to trip over them.

The dreaded Fire Brain seems to be a less stealthy variant of the Intellect Devourer. It flies around setting things on fire and eating minds. You can usually hear it coming, but finding a place to hide is difficult.

 +
 +
;Damage :0
 +
 +
;Number Appearing :1
 +
 +
The Burglestar evolved to pick the locks of sunken treasure chests. No one is sure why. Perhaps it's one of the Creator's little jokes, like the platypus and male-pattern baldness. It can pick any lock submerged in sea water.

[[Cloud of Chaos]]
 +
 +

 +
 +
[[Dog, Goblin]]
 +
 +
;Hit Dice :2d8

 +
 +
;Wants / Motive / Goal : to lick things, smell things, chew on things, obey masters
 +
Armour: as leather
 +
 +
;Movement :normal
 +
 +
;Morale / DC to prevent it fleeing : 8
 +
 +
;Damage :1d6 biting
 +
 +
;Number Appearing :2d10
 +
 +
Goblin Dogs, like goblins, are misshapen toothy creatures. Slobbery and excitable. Not really vicious, but very hungry. The goblins have figured out how to make them to attack. They have yet to figure out how to make them attack the enemy.
 +

 +
 +
[[Dragon, Purple Fang]]
 +
 +
;Hit Dice :4d8
 +
 +
;Appearance :a whip-thin dragon with a crocodile head and two huge purple fangs. Little tiny bat wings; flies anyway.
 +
 +
;Wants / Motive / Goal : to bite people, hoard panic.
 +
 +
;Armor Class :18 (as plate + shield).
 +
 +
;Movement :2x normal
 +
 +
;Morale / DC to prevent it fleeing : 8
 +
 +
;Damage :0, or 1d6 claw if really annoyed.
 +
 +
;Number Appearing :1d6
 +
 +
Purple Fang Dragons bites have a peculiar effect. Their venom makes people think they are dying from flesh-corroding poison. Victims scream, twitch, roll around, lop off limbs, drink potions, and attempt to avert their (perceived) impending death. Purple Fang Dragons hoard panic and like to watch. They also hoard hourglasses, official documents, and wigs.

[[Durp Snake]]
 +
 +
;Hit Dice :1d8
 +
 +
;Appearance :a pale green snake with a perpetually worried expression
 +
 +
;Wants / Motive / Goal : to live a long and happy life
 +
 +
;Armor Class :as leather
 +
 +
;Movement :normal
 +
 +
;Morale / DC to prevent it fleeing : 4
 +
 +
;Damage :10d6 poison damage
 +
 +
;Number Appearing :2d6
 +
 +
The most peaceful of all snakes, for a very good reason. They lie in forest groves with their mouths open, hoping birds or insects land inside to bite their red wiggly tongues. The Durp Snake cannot attack, for if it does, it inevitably bites itself and dies. It's tragic. If provoked, it will forget, try to strike you, bite itself in the middle, and die in agony. The venom would be worth a fortune but harvesting it is impossible without provoking the Durp Snake.

[[Fish, Astro-]]
 +
 +
;Hit Dice :1d8
 +
 +

;Morale / DC to prevent it fleeing : 5
 +
 +
;Damage :2d8 on impact, 1d4 biting
 +
 +
;Number Appearing :showers of 3d100
 +
 +
Beyond the crystal spheres that contain the planets and stars there is a great deal of water. The holy books are fairly certain on this point. They don't mention fish, but when it rains fishes they have to come from somewhere, right? Astro-fishes strike the earth from time to time in meteoric swarms. They rarely live long (our water is too warm), but they are quite valuable.
 +

 +
 +
[[Fish, Sun of]]

 +

 +
 +
;Number Appearing :1
 +
 +
Rats have kings, owls have parliaments. Herring, it seems, have suns. Suns of Fish float peacefully over the ocean, casting a lovely silver light onto the waters below. No one knows why. They are harmless, beautiful, and delicious. Occasionally boats mistake them for a lighthouse or the moon and get lost.
 +
 +

 +
 +
[[Fraithwarp, Giant]]
 +
 +
;Hit Dice :8d8
 +
 +
;Appearance :a giant fraithwarp. Fraithwarps are a kind of wading bird, I think.

 +
 +

 +
 +

 +
 +
;Number Appearing :1
 +
 +
The solitary Dunebat Giants (as opposed to the Giant Dunebats, a similar though not identical species distinguished, according to scholars, by a small black dot behind the eye and a slightly higher pitched screech), dive from great heights and swallow sand, searching for a meal. Their eerie whine, followed by a loud thump and a huge spray of sand, is a nightly occurrence.
 +
 +

 +
 +
[[Golem, Rain]]
 +
 +
;Hit Dice :1d8
 +
 +
;Appearance :a human figure made of rain. Drops appear where the figure's outline starts and vanish where it ends. Like a hole cut in a sheet, but in reverse. Leaves soggy footprints.

 +
 +
[[Hatfright]]

 +
 +
;Morale / DC to prevent it fleeing : 12
 +
 +
;Damage :1d6 per round biting. Difficult to remove once it bites.
 +
 +
A variety of mimic. The hat appears normal (and possibly even magical) until someone puts it on. The Hatfright then screams, shines blue light everywhere, and tries to eat the unfortunate victim's head. It usually succeeds. Dried hatfright larvae make excellent appetizers for fancy wizard parties.
 +

 +
 +
[[Horse (Spider, Brain)]]

 +
 +
;Movement :2x normal on all surfaces (even upside-down)
 +
 +
;Morale / DC to prevent it fleeing : 6
 +
 +
;Damage :1d6 piercing
 +
 +
Who in their right mind would sit on this so-called horse? You can feel it thinking. It invades your thoughts, your dreams. You need to call it out of your nightmares in the first place to ride it; small wonder it lurks there when not required.
 +
 +

 +
 +

 +
 +
The Jabberwont sits on a stump in the woods and asks for riddles. It promises rewards (it lies).Tell it a riddle and it laughs and laughs. Once you run out of riddles or patience it runs away. 1 day later, you'll retch and cough up a Jabberwont egg for each riddle you told. The eggs hatch quickly.

 +
 +

 +

A jerk-ass ghost. Created when a real jerk dies and people say too many nice things at the funeral. Rises up and starts kicking people in the pants. Inconvenient. While you're trying to get on a horse. While you're getting out of bed. Loves tipping people over or causing a scene. Will punt a baby with glee. If you piss it off it will follow you around, kicking you and your friends until you deal with it or it gets bored.

[[Lycanthrope, Wereladoo]]
 +
 +

Some believe the Man-Cans are a type of hermit crab. Some believe they are mad knights from a distant nation. Their young are born in cans (in fact, they need air-holes punched with specialized tools). No one knows if they are human-shaped inside or, worryingly, can-shaped. They reportedly taste of smoked salted pork.

There must be a civilization of ogres up there somewhere. Maybe they live on the moon? Anyway, some of them occasionally crash into the Earth, try to scoop earth people and earth dirt into strange not-silk bags, and wander around aimlessly. If you find one, try not to be near it on a moonless night or a strange silver disk might appear and carry it away, into the upper air or beyond.

The Wolfworm, or the Emperor Mole, is an adapted hound. It hunts in thick soil, shuffling along, digging rapidly, searching for prey. It tries to herd travelers into rock-free plains and devour their horses. Campsites have been found with the fire still burning and each tent neatly plucked into the earth. The Wolfworm, though blind, is as cunning as any surface wolf. Beware its infrasonic bass-thrum howl.

Web Sense 
While in contact with a web, the spider knows the exact location of any other creature in contact with the same web.
Web Walker 
The spider ignores movement restrictions caused by webbing.

Actions

Bite 
Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 7 (ld8 + 3) piercing damage, and the target must make a DC 11 Constitution saving throw, taking 9 (2d8) poison damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. If the poison damage reduces the target to 0 hit points, the target is stable but poisoned for 1 hour, even after regaining hit points, and is paralyzed while poisoned in this way.
Web 
(Recharge 5-6). Ranged Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, range 30/60 ft., one creature.

Hit: The target is restrained by webbing. As an action, the restrained target can make a DC 12 Strength check, bursting the webbing on a success. The webbing can also be attacked and destroyed (AC 10; hp 5; vulnerability to fire damage; immunity to bludgeoning, poison, and psychic damage).

To snare its prey, a giant spider spins elaborate webs or shoots sticky strands of webbing from its abdomen.
Habitat 
Giant spiders are most commonly found underground, making their lairs on ceilings or in dark, web-filled crevices. Such lairs are often festooned with web cocoons holding past victims.


Monstrous eight-eyed, hairy spiders capable of Common human speech. Carthorse-sized and carnivorous, they have eight legs and sharp pincers. When excited or angry, they make a distinctive clicking sound and secrete poison. They fear Basilisks.[93]

‘“It has nothing to do with weakness,” said Professor Lupin sharply, as though he had read Harry’s mind. “The Dementors affect you worse than the others because there are horrors in your past that the others don’t have.”’ Professor Lupin in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, J.K. Rowling

‘The revelation that his batty old cat-obsessed neighbour knew what Dementors were was almost as big a shock to Harry as meeting two of them down the alleyway.’

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, J.K. Rowling

Fighting dementors is easier if you are happy and have brought chocolate with you.[99]

Rogue dementors may be a new and frequent threat, since the former Auror Kingsly Shackelbolt (now minister for magic) will them probably remove from Azkaban (where now many of Voldemort’s supporters are, again).[100]

Goblin Dogs, like goblins, are misshapen toothy creatures. Slobbery and excitable. Not really vicious, but very hungry. The goblins have figured out how to make them to attack. They have yet to figure out how to make them attack the enemy.

Dragon, Purple Fang

Hit Dice

Purple Fang Dragons bites have a peculiar effect. Their venom makes people think they are dying from flesh-corroding poison. Victims scream, twitch, roll around, lop off limbs, drink potions, and attempt to avert their (perceived) impending death. Purple Fang Dragons hoard panic and like to watch. They also hoard hourglasses, official documents, and wigs.

Durp Snake

Armor Class

Number Appearing

The most peaceful of all snakes, for a very good reason. They lie in forest groves with their mouths open, hoping birds or insects land inside to bite their red wiggly tongues. The Durp Snake cannot attack, for if it does, it inevitably bites itself and dies. It's tragic. If provoked, it will forget, try to strike you, bite itself in the middle, and die in agony. The venom would be worth a fortune but harvesting it is impossible without provoking the Durp Snake.

Fish, Astro-

Hit Dice

Appearance 
silvery-blue fish with very hard scales.

Damage 
2d8 on impact, 1d4 biting
Number Appearing

Beyond the crystal spheres that contain the planets and stars there is a great deal of water. The holy books are fairly certain on this point. They don't mention fish, but when it rains fishes they have to come from somewhere, right? Astro-fishes strike the earth from time to time in meteoric swarms. They rarely live long (our water is too warm), but they are quite valuable.

Fish, Sun of

Hit Dice

Rats have kings, owls have parliaments. Herring, it seems, have suns. Suns of Fish float peacefully over the ocean, casting a lovely silver light onto the waters below. No one knows why. They are harmless, beautiful, and delicious. Occasionally boats mistake them for a lighthouse or the moon and get lost.

Fraithwarp, Giant

Hit Dice 
8d8
Appearance

Wants / Motive / Goal

Number Appearing 
1

The solitary Dunebat Giants (as opposed to the Giant Dunebats, a similar though not identical species distinguished, according to scholars, by a small black dot behind the eye and a slightly higher pitched screech), dive from great heights and swallow sand, searching for a meal. Their eerie whine, followed by a loud thump and a huge spray of sand, is a nightly occurrence.

Golem, Rain

Hit Dice 
1d8
Appearance 
a human figure made of rain. Drops appear where the figure's outline starts and vanish where it ends. Like a hole cut in a sheet, but in reverse. Leaves soggy footprints.

Armour: none

Number Appearing

A bit of summoned storm. Cannot lift anything or deal any damage. Mostly useless, but good at putting out small fires, frightening the credulous, and watering the garden.

Hatfright

Hit Dice 
4d8
Appearance 
a wonderful and expensive wizard's hat. Red silk, a tassel, sequins around the brim, a stars, and gold frogging (made from real gold frogs).

Armour: as leather

Movement 
1/2 normal (hopping).
Morale / DC to prevent it fleeing 
12
Damage 
1d6 per round biting. Difficult to remove once it bites.

A variety of mimic. The hat appears normal (and possibly even magical) until someone puts it on. The Hatfright then screams, shines blue light everywhere, and tries to eat the unfortunate victim's head. It usually succeeds. Dried hatfright larvae make excellent appetizers for fancy wizard parties.

Horse (Spider, Brain)

Hit Dice 
2d8
Appearance 
a giant brain with hairy eight spider legs... and a saddle.

Armour: none

Movement 
2x normal on all surfaces (even upside-down)
Morale / DC to prevent it fleeing

Damage 
1d6 piercing

Who in their right mind would sit on this so-called horse? You can feel it thinking. It invades your thoughts, your dreams. You need to call it out of your nightmares in the first place to ride it; small wonder it lurks there when not required.

Hound, Plant

Hit Dice 
2d8
Appearance 
a wolf made of vines with a venus flytrap head
Wants / Motive / Goal

Number Appearing

The Wolfworm, or the Emperor Mole, is an adapted hound. It hunts in thick soil, shuffling along, digging rapidly, searching for prey. It tries to herd travelers into rock-free plains and devour their horses. Campsites have been found with the fire still burning and each tent neatly plucked into the earth. The Wolfworm, though blind, is as cunning as any surface wolf. Beware its infrasonic bass-thrum howl.
