Upon completion of the spell, it instantly kills seventy thousand people (and their animals), and it's stated that their deaths are an "offering" that Shub-Niggurath responds to by sending her young. Specifically, five of the "Dark Young" monster (which Ainz states is the most ever summoned with a single casting of the spell, but also notes that killing that many people should have resulted in more being summoned, suggesting that the spell is capped at summoning five. My guess would be that one Dark Young is summoned per ten thousand people slain.)As a note, the "What If" novel confirms that this spell can also kill the undead.The Dark Young themselves are stated to be "over level 90" and to have little in the way of supernatural or magical powers, but their base stats are higher than would otherwise be expected for a monster of their level. So if we presume something like level 92, then if we divide that by 2.5 (for D&D 3.X, as per my previous post), that'd make them something like level 36 or 37 (I know that level and Challenge Rating aren't the same, but presumably this means that one of the Dark Young would be an appropriate challenge for a party of characters that are all level 36-37).I think you overlooked my note about the 3.X conversion, which would put Lugpusregina at level 23-24 in 3.X D&D.EDIT: In hindsight, I didn't make it clear that Overlord uses its own level system, where characters can be anywhere from level 1 to level 100. Lupusregina is level 59 under their system, which using the 2.5 divisor I mentioned above, would make her level 23 or 24 in 3.X D&D.I'm curious how epic boons would equate to racial levels in your system (of course, the entire idea of "racial levels" has always been awkward in D&D; I suspect the closest equivalent was probably in Basic D&D with its races-as-classes presentation for demihumans. The monster levels in something like 3.0's Savage Species are probably a closer translation to what's in Overlord, but those had their own problems).Don't get me started. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
