Our monster thursday brings in a monster that needs no introduction. -Stephen
After last thursday's post on Beholders, Chris & I were pretty beholdered-out... but I knew what I had to create for this Monster Thursday. There are so many awesome and amazing beholder-kin that I just had to recreate a few of our favorites for the D&D 5e system.
I am happy to show off the:
Eye of the Deep, a strange deep-sea crustacean beholder with crab-like pincers
Hive Mother, a ruler of beholders and someone who has a questionable relationship with reality
Gazer Swarm, Chris had an idea of hundreds of beholders descending on his players, I breathed life into our swarm of gazers frollicking through the forests
Director, these beholder-kin attach themselves to their crawler mounts and are the calvary of the beholders
Magivore, Chris had a dream about killing all arcane spellcasters, he then laughed maniacally when he told me about it... I'm concerned.
To go along with the Director, we also created a new beast, the Crawler, to help flesh out their lore and statblocks.
Beholder-kin come in all different shapes, sizes, and abilities and we have plans to do even more beholder-kin in the not-so-distant future!
If you have ideas for monsters or just a scrap of lore you want to see statblocks for, let us know! We may surprise you. :)
