Smartest creatures ranked by INT

[Jeremy]

What are some really hyper intelligent creatures? I know great wyrm golds are INT 32, but who are the other ultra smart creatures? I can find creatures with 39 STR but I need an inhuman schemer who has always been a super genius (read, didn't gain 30 levels, read a book, and put on circlet).

Hey Jeremy.

Page 9 of the phb has a little bit of a list...

Yup. And they are all 1-19 range for the most part. It's also core only.

Surely there are some 28 INT creatures, some 36 INT creatures, or some 42 INT creatures. Gotta find something with labyrinthine plots and plans.

The DM

The black ethergaunts (Fiend Folio) have 31 int, and even those of the lowest caste of ethergaunts have 23 int.

How about an awakened advanced super-genius coyote?

(Then again, his WIS score is probably 4. )

 

[Kae'Yoss]

Do deities count?

 

[Corsair]

Illithid have to be up there.


Edit: And remember, those are the "average" for their race. The equivalent of a 10 int human. if you want them to be smarter than the average monster, just tack on +8 int.

THe black ethergaunt is prolly your best choice. I've looked for this same thing severl times (for Polymorph and Object) and they are the best I've found as a base. As saide before, they are average for their race, so you can still get their INT way higher (like in the fifties).

I'll be watching to see if you find something better...

You can Polymorph Any Object into a black ethergaunt?
