I like this idea for a new Extra Life series. It looks to me like these are monsters created by or with the help of sick kids, who could always use this kind of thrill and who could always need this kind of ongoing financial help. I hope we see more of these.

EDIT: On Facebook, the D&D branded accounts says all of these were, in fact, created by kids.

They share the original kids' art that inspired the monster in the actual product

Oh, that's good stuff.

That Dandylion is a pretty snazzy looking monster. Seems like a great Feywild critter.

EDIT: There's no way they didn't intend him to look like Ray Bolger.

Reminds me of stuff my kids have drawn after flipping through Monster Manuals.

Looks fun! Will happily buy when it's available in PDF.

Will they be toys any time in the future?

I love the idea! Will pick it up.

This is great, except for the fact that it appears to be a D&D Beyond exclusive.

WotC, please don't use helping terminally ill kids as a way to drive traffic to your platform of choice. Put it on DMs Guild as well.
