[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 8290670, member: 6704184"] Most DMs come up with custom critters, even if only by modifying existing creatures, but we could all use some inspiration from folks who think differently from us. my most memorable recent custom baddie was a brood of drakes of various types who were given tentacles, and tentacle grapple, spiderclimb, and a 20ft poisoned spit attack, and their matriarch, which had all that, and legendary actions. She could screech and cause all non aberrations within 100ft to make a con save vs light psychic damage and frightened, and call her brood, allowing all aberrations within 300ft to move toward her and attack any non-aberrations they could reach as a reaction. The screech could be sustained as a bonus action (she also had bonus action attacks), causing a new save. If a creature failed a save while frighten of her, they also became poisoned. If they failed a save while poisoned, they had to attack the nearest creature to them with a melee weapon attack as a reaction. Oh, and she was huge and could fly, and could eat her brood to regain HP or gain THP. [/QUOTE]
