Sweet.

Yeah, I got nothin else.

It just wouldn't be D&D withour weird snake-starfish-parrot-things.

What're the monsters on the other page? All I see is 11th level controller.

Grell.

Sorry, it was fuzzy enough I needed to give my eyes a break

Grick and the grell? Love it!

What a shame - no new monsters tomorrow. ;_;

I wonder what causes the ongoing damage -- it isn't poison, and the regular grick doesn't grab targets (apparently).

Perhaps gricks just cause bleeding wounds?

I like the Resist 10 any effects that target AC. DR in a different light.

That's probably it. It would be nice if the MM said things like that, though.

(Maybe in an appendix?)

Wait, Grick and Grell, there's space for two tentacled parrot creatures, but not for...

for...

wait, there's nothing being left out that I care about*, so I guess I don't really care, but it kinda seems like overkill.

(*I care about metallic Dragons, but putting them in would take up a lot more than one extra page)
