D&D General The Great Dalmuti (D&D) Quiz: Which D&D creature does each card represent?

[rules.mechanic]

So, all you clever people, I hope we can all agree that the Great Dalmuti is the greatest card game WotC produces [ducks-and-covers]. Can I enlist your help in working out which D&D creature each of the 13 D&D Great Dalmuti card represents? Here are the card pictures (all in Harry Conway's unique atmospheric style): The Great Dalmuti: Dungeons & Dragons | Dungeons & Dragons

Go on, help me out with a guess. I've had a go below but I'm stumped and it's bugging me like a loose thread, or a hangnail, or an incomplete Wordle, or whatever, and I'm ready to unravel the world to solve it.

1 Great Dalmuti -
2 MInd Minister - Mind Flayer
3 Solicitor - maybe a Tabaxi (not sure why)?
4 Baronesssss - Medusa
5 Occultist -
6 Templar - maybe a Hobgoblin?
7 Spinner - Drider
8 Artisan -
9 Apothecary -
10 Breeder - maybe a Goblin?
11 Exterminator - Umber Hulk
12 Rat Catcher - Kobold
13 Fool - Gnoll

Occultist seems to be a Night Hag.

 

[BookTenTiger]

I think the Solicitor is a rakshasa because of the feline face and the backwards hands.

 

[ko6ux]

Apothecary is also very reminiscent of the 4E Harpy art.

 

[rules.mechanic]

Good call on both of those. Horns on the night hag, backwards hands on the rakshasa.

Templar is definitely a hobgoblin.
Artisan is a stone giant.
Apothecary is a harpy.
Breeder is a goblin with some abyssal chickens.

Two votes for the harpy and I love the link with the hair on the 4e picture. I kinda feel the art would have had more obvious talons but it's the winner for now

 

[ninjayeti]

I think the artisan is a stone giant. They are often depicted as grey skinned and bald. The figure here is carving stone, and the MM states "Among stone giants, artistry ranks as the greatest virtue....They esteem stone carving as the greatest of skills." MM 152.

 

[rules.mechanic]

I was down the wrong track with Artisan - was blinded by the idea of a golem but stone giant's the right call

 

[rules.mechanic]

Right peeps, our work here is done:

1 Great Dalmuti - just a crown
2 MInd Minister - Mind Flayer
3 Solicitor - Rakshasa
4 Baroness - Medusa
5 Occultist - Night Hag
6 Templar - Hobgoblin
7 Spinner - Drider
8 Artisan - Stone Giant
9 Apothecary - Harpy
10 Breeder - Goblin (with abyssal chicken!)
11 Exterminator - Umber Hulk
12 Rat Catcher - Kobold
13 Fool - Gnoll

and faster than I can do a Wordle...
