D&D 5E Final Fantasy XV for D&D

[GreatestHonor]

A large lizard lurking in the depths of Costlemark Tower. Descendant of tiny reptiles who dwelled above ground, the winged jabberwock evolved over tens of thousands of years into the formidable form it boasts today. Given that it survived the War of the Astrals, some even consider this creature to be a living fossil of sorts.

While lacking pigment on the whole, the hide of this subspecies is often flecked with black spots. This is one of several evolutionary offshoots of the common coeurl, born of the breed's ability to thrive amid a variety of harsh conditions.

Electric Charge. If the coeurl is hit with lightning damage, rather than taking damage, the coeurl instead adds the lightning damage to its next Whisker attack.

If a creature uses a melee attack against the coeurl while it is in this state, the creature must succeed on a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw or be slain instantly. Afterwards, the coeurl’s rest automatically ends.

 

[GreatestHonor]

What might from a distance appear a man in robes grows ever more hideous on further inspection, its face twisted into an inhuman mask that makes a mockery of nature. The daemon breathes an enervating gas to weaken prey before sapping its quarry of all life.

While within sunlight, the mindflayer has Disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks.

Daemonic Attacks. Whenever the mindflayer deals damage against another creature other than another daemon, that creature must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution or Charisma saving throw (creature’s choice) or have its hit point maximum reduced by half of the damage dealt.

Each creature in this area must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking 14 (4d6) cold damage on a failed save, or half as much on a success. A creature that takes any of this damage must also make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw. On a success, nothing happens. On a failed save, the creature’s Strength- and Dexterity-based weapon attacks only deal half of their rolled damage (rounded down) for 1 minute. An affected creature can repeat its saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.

 

[GreatestHonor]

An abyssal horror awaiting within Costlemark Tower. While it may have genealogically arisen from the mindflayer, this abominable daemon can lay claim to that lineage no longer, so greatly do its powers exceed all of the breed.

A crustacean that has carved out its home along the coast of the Cygillan. This crab propels itself through the waves by ingesting water and releasing it in high-pressure bursts. While some karlabos are caught and traded as comestibles, others grow larger than men, turning the figurative dining tables and devouring their would-be captors.

Female karlabos can be found laying eggs along coastlines. Uniformed travelers refer to these as “rogue karlabos”. Both the meat and eggs on these specimens are eaten as delicacies in many areas.

[GreatestHonor]

A large winged insect living in the Malmalam Thicket and around the oak of Ravatogh. Although visually similar to the killer wasp, this subspecies is infinitely more ferocious. Despite its violent nature, the soldier wasp in Malayalam Thicket has yet to be designated as a threat due to the limited scope of its habitat. Perhaps out of frustration due to the lack of prey, the groups around the Rock of Ravatogh exhibit stronger violent tendencies. Fearful of harm done to their homes, some civilians living in the area have called in extermination requests.
