Updating the Gladiator Lizard. Looks like we're done.

I can't edit that broken link since it's not my post. Made a Displaced Creature Catalog Threads thread to gather together links to some of the displaced threads that never returned to General Monsters. An easy way to get to a broken thread is putting...

No, that's worse. In dragon form it just has the natural attacks of dragon of its size and type, which may be different to its hybrid form. A standard True Dragon has bite and claw at all sizes and gains wing attacks at Medium, a tail slap at Large, a crush at Huge and a tail sweep at...

Let's see, what's next. I'm fine with the current STR 7, DEX17, CON 16, INT 5, WIS 15, CHA 7, so shall I green those too?

Will update in in the next pass.

Updated the Index of 5E Monster Arthropods and the Index of 5th Edition BECMI Conversions.

Here's a complete Description for the Collected Mystaran Dragonflies entry, A mystaran dragonfly closely resembles a regular dragonfly about 3 to 4 feet long. Its head has subtle draconic features as well as a huge pair of globular multifaceted eyes. Mystaran dragonflies are swift and agile...

So, just to confirm are you OK with these magenta bits? I'm leaving the AC and HP magenta since I expect we'll modify them later to hit the target CR of 5. Come to think of it, I forgot to put Challenge 5 (1,800 XP) Proficiency Bonus +3 in the working draft, plus the increased CR bumps up all...

Upon reflection, Tethered Flight is better with the following tweaks: Tethered Flight. The scarlet mist can only fly within 10 feet of an object or surface able to support the weight of a Medium sized creature. It can spread its weight over a 10 foot wide area, allowing it to fly across water...

Updating the Scarlet Mist Working Draft.

I'm fine adding immunity to exhaustion to the above. That seems pretty standard for undead. So keeping it necrotic, poison? That works for me.

Of its Special Traits, that just leaves its Aura of Life Siphoning. Are we OK leaving it as is? Temporary hit points basically work the same in 4E and 5E. I did wonder about tweaking it so the mist regained hit points instead, so it heals itself by draining blood like the Bite attack of a...

Shall we review the immunities and resistances. The original 4E monster only has immunity to disease and is resistant to necrotic and poison damage, plus it has an Insubstantial trait that lets it take half damage from any damage source except fire, force or radiant. Despite being a...

Agreed. I'd like to polish the wording a bit though, how about: Tethered Flight. The scarlet mist can only fly within 10 feet of a surface able to support the weight of a Medium sized creature. It can spread its weight over a 10 foot wide area, allowing it to fly across water or quicksand and...

I was calling the undead one a Scarlet Mist.

I mainly called the undead ones a Scarlet Death and Scarlet Mist so they'd be next to each other in the Index. The Crimson Death is properly called a Crimson Death Mist in 2E, so I'm indexing it as "Mist, Crimson Death" so the "Mist, Blood" will be right in front of it.

Aiming for CR 5 is fine by me. The Fourth Edition Vampiric Mist is Level 9, the same as a standard edition 4E Troll, and Trolls are Challenge 5 in 5E.

Dang it, I called the 4E-inspired undead version the Scarlet Mist. The Blood Mist is the monstrosity version based on the original Vampire Mist. EDIT: Just realized I'd accidentally copied the same URL twice in the links so both pointed to the Blood Mist monstrosity. Have corrected the Scarlet...

That looks good to go. Updating the Scarlet Death Working Draft. Updating the Index of 5th Edition Conversions of 4E Monsters. Updating the Completed Fifth Edition Creatures Index.

I'd rather use an Oxford comma in Shifting Mists as I think it's a little less ambiguous. The D&D Beyond version currently has "The scarlet death can disengage, dodge or dash as a bonus action." The Enworld Working Draft has "The scarlet death can disengage, dodge, or dash as a bonus action."...
