I’ve seen a lot of creatures getting close to the behemoth in terms of CR. Considering the lore surrounding them, and not wanting them to be increased in CR themselves, i instead opted to give them the following trait. Apex Predator. The behemoth deals double damage to Beasts, Dragons...

A seadevil subspecies found outside of Old Lestallum, easily recognized by the unusual color of its body. Unfortunately, being both ferocious and few in number, biologists have been unable to glean much information about this rare breed. Coraldevil Huge Beast, Unaligned Armor Class 17 (Natural...

An enormous subspecies of sahagin found in southern Cleigne. Similar to its more commonplace cousin, it resides in the water and preys on animals that venture near the shoreline, but sprays a high-pressure water stream to stun its target before launching a proper attack. Seadevil Huge Beast...

The largest member of the sahagin family, and with muscle to match. This legendary beast grew to monstrous proportions due to a freak mutation and, as such, is frequently targeted by aspiring hunters hoping to make their mark. Alphagin Gargantuan Beast, Unaligned Armor Class 17 (Natural Armor)...

An albino subspecies of sahagin. Stronger and tougher than its common counterpart, it lives and hunts alone. It occasionally exits the water to prey on unsuspecting passerby—man and monster alike—leaving many would-be hunters injured in its wake. Albinogin Large Beast, Unaligned Armor Class 15...

Depends on the nature of the setting. No/very low magic worlds can probably only handle a handful per continent. Each archmage and champion would be powerful enough to take over a city with little substantial threat of being overthrown. Incredibly old dragons and such could rule entire swaths...

For general DND, i would say the following: Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit Conan Dragon Age: Inquisition Baldur’s Gate 3 One Piece, mostly the feel of it and the wacky worldbuilding The Forgotten Realms There are many more i could include, but more for my own table, not necessarily what I...

Its not strictly a nighttime creature, but you could use gnolls

Boggarts and similar fairy could work. Or you could use shadows with some added flavor text. I’ll rack my brain for any other ideas

Hey, it’s belaphoss. Like the change they did to his weapons, while keeping them mechanically the same (compared to other balors).

Ah man, that blue dracolich in the link is sick too. Also the Blob of Annihilation has an interesting approx which reminds me of amoebas and such

Love the monstrous appearance of the balor vs. the regal appearance of the pit fiend. I feel like it highlights the fundamental differences between demons and devils

I’ve thought the same, and it’s something I addressed in my own setting. Almost every power has at least one enemy and one ally. Its mostly Homebrew, so it doesn’t answer your question, but i can give a couple of examples. Mohroi (LG) has a particular disdain for Orcus (CE, obviously) and...

Good point I’ve seen that once before. Fun and flavorful abilities like that are nice to see in a creature. Would make sense if all the paragons are in that range (officially at least).

Surprising. From what i figured they were akin to demigods/lesser deities since some place them as the creators of demons/yugoloths

It kind of makes sense. On’t they come in and rebalance planar energies? Didn’t think about it until i saw this, but are the animal lords supposed to replace Talsid and his companions? That’s a fair point. I would simply prefer for each major side to have rough equivalents to one another.

I would think the different groups would have their own contender. That’s fair, I just would expect it to be closer or possibly higher considering its reputation That’s a fair assessment. I hope its the case. True, I just think each group should have a high CR entry

I was looking at both official and 3PP content, and it left me wondering. Why are some of the highest ranked/most powerful of outsiders (baernoloth, throne archon, leonal) so much weaker than others (balor, pit fiend)? To be clear this isnt about the celestial paragons or archfiends. Wouldn’t...

I would love to see the dream larva, devastation vermin, and many of the abominations from 3.X get an official update.

Me and my brother made a spell like this called “Durran’s Draining Dome” It’s a powerful conjuration spell that creates a dome (surprise) that can drain ability scores, and heal you depending on how many ability points are drained.
