Add more than 200 new monsters to your D&D games with the Monsters of Drakkenheim, newly arrived on D&D Beyond and ready to unleash horrors.
Are the monsters in Monsters of Drakkenheim horrors beyond compare? I don’t think so, because you can compare them to many things. Compared to some of the monsters in the vanilla 5E Monster Manual, they’re quite terrifying. These are crunchier, deadlier monsters full of eldritch horror vibes. Which means you can also compare them to the kinds of monsters you’d see in Call of Cthulhu. Which is an accurate capture of the feeling each of these monsters strives to bring.
Drakkenheim is a world where corrupted meteors fall upon the land and mutate all around them. It’s very Mordheimy but with the dials tuned to slightly different stations. What stations? Well, let’s take a look-see.
Monsters Of Drakkenheim On D&D Beyond
But this is more than just a catalogue of new monsters. Make no mistake, monsters are at the heart of everything in this book. It’s not just 200+ new monsters, though. You’ll also find rules for turning those monsters into items. Which is all the rage these days in D&D.
There’s a particular niche that isn’t being filled properly that seems to outline the shape of wanting to turn the otherworldly, supernatural creatures of the D&D world into otherworldly, supernatural items. Especially powerful and flavorful magic items. The new “crafting” rules show what you can do with the parts and pieces of the various betentacled monsters you kill.
You’ll also find lairs for each of these monsters. And the tools you need to use them, including adventure hoks, maps, and more:
“Immerse your players in eldritch horror with this comprehensive monster resource. Design unforgettable encounters using detailed tactics, lair descriptions, crafting rules, and unique loot.
