APPENDIX II: MONSTER TEMPLATES
NOTES:
1) Monster Tags. In the Table of Contents, the monsters are noted as follows:
4) Updates? I will continue to update and modify the monsters after they are posted. This is a working document. If you see something that needs improvement - let me know and I fix / modify it.
5) Who made these? Most of these are my creations, but I am also linking to other fan creations in this thread and others. So, if you have an idea for an advanced (leveledUp even) monster, please let me know and I can post it in this thread or I will link to it (if it is on EnWorld somewhere) in the Table of Contents.
6) Will there be a PDF? I plan to make a compiled PDF when I am done, but don't expect that before late 2021!
7) Thank you! Now a quick shout out to @Matrix Sorcica you originally asked for some mythic updates that was the genisis for this thread.
- Provide (slightly) more complex, challenging, and interesting monsters for 5e and LevelUp!
- Create epic monsters for high level (17-20) and post lvl 20 play (lvl 21-30, epic boons, etc.)
- Provide a single source for monsters great and small that provide a bit more punch than the standard WotC designs.

APPENDIX II: MONSTER TEMPLATES
Inspired by the work of @Imaculata Monster Templates in the LevelUp! forum and @Rhenny's Modify Your Monsters I am planning to create some templates to quickly add a theme to your monsters:
NOTES:
1) Monster Tags. In the Table of Contents, the monsters are noted as follows:
- Standard: A typical monster
- Legendary: A monster with legendary actions
- Mythic: A legendary monster with the mythic trait and actions (from the Theros sourcebook)
- Elite: A monster theme similar in format to mythic monsters, but less Legendary/Mythic. Unlike mythic and legendary monsters, they don't have legendary or mythic actions (though they do get elite actions).
- Monsters from CR 0 - CR 30 will be listed in Chapter 01 - Hardcore Monsters.
- High CR unique monsters, like archdevils, demigods, etc., will be listed in Chapter 02 - Epic Monsters.
- Additionally, general monsters (non unique) over CR 30 will be listed in Chapter 02 as well.
4) Updates? I will continue to update and modify the monsters after they are posted. This is a working document. If you see something that needs improvement - let me know and I fix / modify it.
5) Who made these? Most of these are my creations, but I am also linking to other fan creations in this thread and others. So, if you have an idea for an advanced (leveledUp even) monster, please let me know and I can post it in this thread or I will link to it (if it is on EnWorld somewhere) in the Table of Contents.
6) Will there be a PDF? I plan to make a compiled PDF when I am done, but don't expect that before late 2021!
7) Thank you! Now a quick shout out to @Matrix Sorcica you originally asked for some mythic updates that was the genisis for this thread.
