D&D 5E So, you're hit by a graveyard...

[Piratecat]

There was a great undead 3e monster that was effectively an ambulatory graveyard -- gravestones sticking out of it, barfing out skeletons, that sort of thing. Anyone remember which monster that was, and (more importantly) know of a 5e conversion of it?

Thanks!

A wild graveyard appears!

I recall fawning over this monstrocity with friends with the book came out.

Cool I could find 3 not quite rights in the Libris Mortis but that's grand.

Of course as a 5e monster it's just a bag of HP so easy to convert.....

This isn't a 3E monster, so not what you're looking for, but check out AD&D's Living Wall. (Ravenloft.)

Oh, as far as conversion goes, that's easy: just give it the same stats as all the creatures inside of it. If it's 30 orcs and a beholder hive queen, that means 30 melee attacks and a bunch of random eye powers--and the sum of all their HP. The monster is mostly horrific background fluff, not crunch.

Corpse gatherer -- that's the one! Time to convert that bad boy...

It's less dangerous than a Dread Gazebo.

You sure you're not thinking of Libris Mortis' gravedirt golem or the boneyard? Such a good book, by the way.

Conversion of the Corpse Gatherer you say?

--->YOU RANG?!<---

(that's a link to a pdf containing a conversion, BTW).

Oh, that's so much better than the half-assed version I cobbled together last night! We still had a great time, but I'll be saving this for use later. I love it.​

Ah! Sorry I missed the deadline, boss, but if you've got another project for me, I'll do better next time.

Glad it was awesome, that's obviously the key.
