- Challenge
- 1 (200 XP)
- Spider Climb
- The spider can climb difficult surfaces, including upside down on ceilings, without needing to make an ability check.
- 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.[17]
Angry Mob
Appaloosa Puffskein See Puffskein
Ashwinder
"Any wizard realizing that one or more Ashwinders are loose in the house must trace them immediately and locate the nest of eggs." —Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
Incendiary serpent.[18]
Basilisk
Snake-like creature whose gaze will turn you to stone. Feared by Acromantulas.
Boggart
You have advantage over a Boggart if you can face it as a group[19]
Bogey
‘“If either of you get us caught, I'll never rest until I've learnt that Curse of the Bogies Quirrell told us about and used it on you.”’ Ron Weasley in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, J.K. Rowling
Animated booger.
Boomslang
Bowtruckle
Tree guardian. These tiny creatures are made of wood and usually live in wand-trees. They have knobbly brown arms and legs, two twig-like fingers at the end of each hand and a flat bark-like face with beetle-brown eyes. Eats woodlice.
Bugbear
...Is really a:
Giant Groblin (Half Giant, Half Groblin)
Cat
(Companion/Familiar) Random Cat Generator
(Companion/Familiar)
Centaur
Despite possessing 'human intelligence,' centaurs are classified as Beasts by the Ministry of Magic, at their own request, as they were unhappy at having to share Being status with hags and vampires.[20]
Chimaera as the D&D creature.
Cockatrice as the D&D creature.
Crup
- D&D Equivalent
- Blink Dog
It strongly resembled a Jack Russell Terrier, except that a Crup had a forked tail. They were clearly wizard-bred dogs since they were extremely loyal to wizards, and ferocious toward Muggles. They eat almost anything. A group of Crups is known as a "pack".[21] Also they teleport at-will.
dogs that closely resemble Jack Russells, apart from the forked tail. The Crup’s devotion to wizards is only surpassed by its aggression towards non-magical people.
Companion
Owl
Owls are enlisted to aid communication between wizards. Letters, parcels, and Howlers are all delivered by owls. Soft, hair-like edges on an owl's flight feathers reduce the noise of flight, coupled with their natural camouflage, making them ideal for delivering letters.[22]
s
Dementor
- D&D Equivalent
- Specter
‘“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.[23]
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).[24]
They fear Patronuses.
Doppelganger as Metamorphmagus
Parseltongue is Draconic.
‘Dragons are extremely difficult to slay, owing to the ancient magic that imbues their thick hides, which none but the most powerful spells can penetrate . . .’ Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, J.K. Rowling
D&D Dragons are intelligent beings and modern-era Potterverse dragons are simple beasts. If you’re playing in the Hogwarts founders era, you’ve got a thousand years to settle the difference. My lore excuse is: the metallics will sacrifice their lives so that chromatics lose their intelligence, language, and powers. Some metallics survived to the modern era but they’re less… shiny.
Fanged Puffskein See puffskein
Category:Flying Horses Species as Pegasus Flying Horse Species Names Abraxan, the Aethonan, the Granian and the Thestral http://www.fantasynamegenerators.com/hp-winged-horse-names.php Oshorian Crabral Maenan Aepotral Shemin Meatan Brixian Prilin Fredial Thennan
[25] as the D&D creature.
Giant Groblin
"We are talking about a different breed of being. Dealings between wizards and goblins have been fraught for centuries ... There has been fault on both sides, I would never claim that wizards have been innocent. However, there is a belief among some goblins, and those at Gringotts are perhaps most prone to it, that wizards cannot be trusted in matters of gold and treasure, that they have no respect for goblin ownership."—A goblins' mindset[26]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

If you piss it off it will follow you around, kicking you and your friends until you deal with it or it gets bored.

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.

- Bantling
- Armor Class: 9 [10] Hit Dice: 1d4 Attacks: .Saving Throw:18 Special: Crying attracts wandering monsters Move: 6 Challenge Level/XP: A/5 When encountered, the bantling will appear as a dirty, scraped up human infant. On seeing adventurers it will begin crying loudly. These shrieks are likely to bring wandering monsters. If picked up or given something to drink it will stop crying briefly. If given any kind of food it will fall into a peaceful slumber for about an hour. After that time has passed it will wake again and begin wailing for more food. As the bantling sleeps it grows. On first encountering it it will barely be able to crawl, after a first feeding it will be able to toddle haltingly on it's own. Each meal and sleep cycle will add an apparent 2 years to the bantling's age. This bantling never speaks, just cries and eats. It will not attack and if threatened with harm will scutter off into the darkness to find safety where it will lose age each hour until it is again an infant, waiting for another party. [28]
- Blind Agnes
- Armor Class: 9 [10] Hit Dice: 1d4 Attacks: .Saving Throw:18 Special: Sight will steal vision Move: 12 Appearing as a young woman, pale and eyeless, stumbling through dark passages, a blind Agnes is an ill omen for those that see her. Anyone close enough to see the white holes of her eyes will have their own eyes stolen by Agnes. She will gain her victims eyes and with them sight. Once she is able to see, blind Agnes will attempt to flee. The poor soul that loses their eyes to blind Agnes will still see, but through the eyes set in Agnes' face. Their vision will follow wherever Agnes goes, while they must negotiate their actual surroundings sightless. Stories tell of men crying out about wondrous treasures only to step unknowingly off of ledges to their death. There are at least two ways for the victim of a blind Agnes to regain their sight. The first is by waiting, after a matter of hours they will regain their eyes and see as normal. The second is by slaying the blind Agnes. But as she falls dead, her eyes see things no one was meant to see, and a victim that regains their sight in this way is often reduced to whimpering and moaning of the horrible sights they were forced to witness. [29]
- Blue Blob
- Armor Class: 8 [11] Hit Dice: 1d4 Attacks: Attack (1d6) Saving Throw:18 Special: Spells cause it to grow Move: 3 Challenge Level/XP: A/5 A rare occurrence, these pale, aquamarine amoebae seem to be the result of intense arcane energies. They are often the size of a cat and harmless if left alone. If any form of arcane magic is used on them, however, they will approach the caster and try to devour it. Arcane energy causes blue blobs to grow: they add a hit die for approximately every spell level cast at them. Sages seem unsure if there is an upper limit to this growth. [30]
- Cave Locust
- Armor Class: 4 [15] Hit Dice: 1d6 Attacks: Bump (1d4) or Spit Saving Throw:18 Special: Spittle causes nausea Move: 6/18 (flying) Challenge Level/XP: 1/15 These skittish herbivores the size of a dog, are a mottled-grey that blends into cavern walls. If seen, they appear to be a large statue of a locust. If bothered, their first inclination is to flee, which entails leaping with their powerful hind legs. Unfortunate adventurers in the path of such a jump will not soon forget it. Cave locusts unable to flee unhindered begin emitting a piercing, shriek-like noise that may draw wandering monsters. As a last resort, a cornered cave locust will spew brown spittle on attackers. This sticky mess is so noisome as to cause anyone smelling it to become nauseous enough to hinder their ability to move and fight. [31]
- Cave Tarsier
- Armor Class: 6[13] Hit Dice: 1d4 Attacks:1 (Bite 1-2) Saving Throw:18 Special: Make parties more likely to be surprised Move: 18 Challenge Level/XP: A/5 These small scavengers dwell in dark caves and have learned to associate noise and light with potential food. They will follow an adventuring party in hopes of fresh meat, whether it is the remains of some wandering monster the party dispatches, or the party itself. While no direct threat to adventurers, the peril is the noise and movement they produce just out of torch light. Cave tarsiers scrambling over the rocky floor and bounding from stalagtite to stalagmite make it very hard for a party to hear what other creatures may be lurking down a tunnel. Parties beset by cave tarsiers are unlikely to surprise and much more likely to be surprised. Their great eyes shine in the dark. [32]
- Facula
- Armor Class: 2[17] Hit Dice: 1d4 Attacks: .Saving Throw: 15 Special: Only hurt by magic Move: 18 Challenge Level/XP: A/5 No one is sure if this phenomenon is a living organism, some by-product of intense arcane energies, or a thinness in the barriers between the planes of existence. Faculae are encountered only in the darkest depths. They appear hovering over the heads of living creatures. There is generally a single light that flickers from head to head in a group of creatures. There are tales of faculae even flitting back and forth between men and humanoids fighting each other. They cause no direct harm to their host. The danger arises from the inescapable light of the facula. As bright as a torch, it is an ill occurrence indeed for a scouting thief or a wounded mage trying to find cover in a battle. Dispersing a facula is a difficult task requiring magic. [33]
- False Fortune
- Armor Class: 8 [11] Hit Dice: 1d4 Attacks: Attack (1d6) Saving Throw:18 Special: .Move: .Challenge Level/XP: A/5 This small organism is able to perfectly mimic a valuable item of a few pounds in weight. This item when placed in a dark, enclosed place assumes it's motile form and begins feeding. Looking like a tarry, black mess, the motile form will digest everything non-metallic in a backpack in one turn, everything else in two turns (Magic items may prove indigestible). After consuming everything in its enclosed space the false fortune will return to the shape of the item it had when found. It will not attack, but if it encounters a living creature where it is feeding, it's digestive acids will do 1d6 damage a round. [34]
- Glass Golem
- Armor Class: 9 [10] Hit Dice: 3hp Attacks: Glass (1d8) Saving Throw:18 Special: Releases poison cloud on shattering Move: 6 Challenge Level/XP: A/5 A glass golem appears as a hollow glass figure half again as tall as a man. Inside its clear shape, green-black swirls curl like foul smoke. Often a representation of a dignitary or civil servant, they are created to watch a doorway or prevent access to an area, and are found holding glass tablets inscribed with these instructions. Though these tablets have a razor sharp edge to them, a glass golem will only attack if forced to in fulfilling its orders. Glass golems are silent but may try communicating their orders through gestures. If the golem is shattered the noxious vapors trapped inside it will be freed to the doom of all onlookers. [35]
- Greater Crested Potionguide
- Armor Class: 8 [11] Hit Dice: 1d4 Attacks: Flurry (1d3) Saving Throw:18 Special: Can detect potions Move: 4/18 (when flying) Challenge Level/XP: A/5 This bird looks much like a small, dark-grey owl, except for it's finely feathered double crest. On encountering a potionguide, it will generally put on a display-- riffling its crest, unfurling its wings-- and then take flight a small distance away to repeat the process. Its intent is to get onlookers to follow it and to travel towards its eventual goal-- a cache of potions. Potionguides can sense potions through doors, through walls, even in locked chests. If any obstacles appear in the path toward their goal, they will hang back, only to continue leading once the obstacles have been dealt with by those they guide. On achieving the potion cache, the potionguide will attempt a surprise attack on anyone with a potion in hand. Using a flurry of wings, its aim is for the potion to be dropped and shattered, where it can lap up, with its broad grey tongue, the magical liquid it so desires. [36]
- Grey Tortoise
- Armor Class: 2[17] Hit Dice: 1d6 Attacks: 1 (Touch ages) Saving Throw: 15 Special: Ages victim 5 yrs. per hit Move: 6" Challenge Level/XP: B/10 Exceedingly rare, these ancient creatures appear as large, mundane tortoises, with the exception of a bowl-like concavity in their shell. When filled naturally, water in the depression is said to function as a window into the future. Elves will often quest to find these tortoises before difficult decisions in order to consult their divinatory pools. A side affect of the touch of the tortoise almost unnoticed by elves, is the aging of the one being touched by 5 years. Some sages speculate that grey tortoises do not, in fact, breed but that a fixed number maintain their existence through continual rejuvenation. On being encountered grey tortoises will slowly close and seek to touch. If attacked they pull into the safety of their shells. The shell and carcass is most likely very magical and valuable, although any elves learning of their destruction would be none too pleased. [37]
- Torporous Worms
- Armor Class: 9 [10] Hit Dice: 1hp each Attacks: 1hp per turn Saving Throw:18 Special: Touch causes numbness & drowsiness Move: 3 Challenge Level/XP: A/5 These worms are actually a kind of caterpillar that dwells in the small cracks and crevices of underground passages. They are covered in fine bristles which numb flesh even through clothing. On seeing a motionless creature, torporous worms will beginning crawling towards it, slowly, by the hundreds. Once this silent tide of grey worms is moving it can seem as if the very stone of a floor is undulating. A creature covered in torporous worms will drowse, undisturbed, while the hungry caterpillars begin feeding. Stories tell of adventuring parties foolish enough to bivouac underground, waking to the wet sound of flesh being stripped from their comrades' bones. The worms themselves are defenseless if not handled, and on any movement or commotion around their prey, will begin retreating. [38]
