On monstrous land like Snakeworld, there is no end to the horrors that are birthed. Every single monster published in an official sourcebook or adventure has a place on Snakeworld, making this place borderline uninhabitable without the grace and miracle of luck.
There are creature types colloquially created by the people attacked by them, useful for knowing the rules of how to avoid whatever enemy is approaching. Whether the creature is hungry for humanoid, or if it has an internal logic to it, or if it can be survived.
Aberration[edit]
From alien realms so far they breach the edge of the universe. Aberrant beings have intentions unknown, if their behavior can even be classified as intentional. They are fundamentally foreign, and no amount of mental ability will ever grasp their true nature. The mere sight of one of these beings could be enough to break a mortal mind, and most result to simply believing that the whole existence of these creatures is a conspiracy.
Aberrant Spirit[edit]
There are certain spellcasters whose preferred purpose is simply to create creatures.

Summoned Something. When a conjurer borrows help from the Far Realm, outer space takes a form that the population at least somewhat recognizes. Slaad, Star Spawn, or Beholder-like, the creature is a mockery of images the adventurer has either seen or been told of. Its psychic strike can do damage in the form of dreams, nightmares, or repressed trauma. Beholderkin. A strange and evershifting number of eyestalks connect to an orb of flesh, and at its center is another Mike Wazowski-esque face! The beholderkin is not a complete monster, being summoned through magical means and pulled from its home. It screeches in horror, darts its eye(s) contact across the space. |

The transformation affects nonliving material only and can't create anything with moving parts or magical properties. Any object created in this area is, upon close inspection, revealed as a fake. Books are filled with empty pages, golden items are obvious counterfeits, and so on. The transformation lasts until the balhannoth dies or takes this lair action again. |

Beholder[edit]
Dreamlords. The warped reality of the dreamscape is not limited inside the mind. Instead, when all of a beholder’s eyes drift to sleep, it’s dreams on the outside.
Eyes as Metaphor. What we call chaos, it calls science. The beholder loves to watch and ponder, wonder at what it sees. It’s many eyes are voyeuristic in nature, seeming to impress what is behind its pupils through its very sight.
|

VARIANT ABILITIESPart of the unpredictably dangerous nature of beholders is their dreamlike ability to warp reality, and themselves, at a random moment's notice. These creatures have been known to display any number of arcane-adjacent abilities. To assist the ever wondering dungeon master, here are some suggestions on variations to the normal beholder eye rays and central cone sight.

Only a wish spell can reverse the transformation.
|
|
CONTROL GEM[edit]
Within the brain of a slaad, of the same color as the being, is a shard of lawful coalition called a Control Gem. These are remnants from when an ancient god tried to take hold of the whole race of slaadi. Someone who is proficient in Wisdom (Medicine) can remove the gem from an incapacitated slaad. Each try requires 1 minute of uninterrupted work and a successful DC 20 Wisdom (Medicine) check. Each failed attempt deals 22 (4d10) psychic damage to the slaad.
The slaad must obey whoever possesses the gem and is immune to being charmed while so controlled. Certain spells can be used to acquire the gem. If the slaad fails its saving throw against imprisonment, the spell can transfer the gem to the spellcaster's open hand, instead of imprisoning the slaad. A wish spell, if cast in the slaad's presence, can be worded to acquire the gem. A greater restoration spell cast on the slaad destroys the gem without harming the salad.

If a creature's saving throw is successful, the creature is immune to the cloaker's moan for the next 24 hours. Phantasms (Recharges after a Short or Long Rest). The cloaker magically creates three illusory duplicates of itself if it isn't in bright light. The duplicates move with it and mimic its actions, shifting position so as to make it impossible to track which cloaker is the real one. If the cloaker is ever in an area of bright light, the duplicates disappear. Whenever any creature targets the cloaker with an attack or a harmful spell while a duplicate remains, that creature rolls randomly to determine whether it targets the cloaker or one of the duplicates. A creature is unaffected by this magical effect if it can't see or if it relies on senses other than sight. A duplicate has the cloaker's AC and uses its saving throws. If an attack hits a duplicate, or if a duplicate fails a saving throw against an effect that deals damage, the duplicate disappears.

CONTROL GEM[edit]
Within the brain of a slaad, of the same color as the being, is a shard of lawful coalition called a Control Gem.

Each try requires 1 minute of uninterrupted work and a successful DC 20 Wisdom (Medicine) check. Each failed attempt deals 22 (4d10) psychic damage to the slaad.
The slaad must obey whoever possesses the gem and is immune to being charmed while so controlled. Certain spells can be used to acquire the gem. If the slaad fails its saving throw against imprisonment, the spell can transfer the gem to the spellcaster's open hand, instead of imprisoning the slaad. A wish spell, if cast in the slaad's presence, can be worded to acquire the gem. A greater restoration spell cast on the slaad destroys the gem without harming the slaad.

Each target must succeed on a DC 25 Wisdom saving throw or be frightened of her until the end of her next turn. Any target within 5 feet of Aurelia has disadvantage on the saving throw. |
Personality Traits: Oddly approachable from her position on a pedestal, the great leader Aurelia always seems to have time to talk about the goal of her mission, or the personal connection her soldiers have to the cause. There is a religious devotion inspired in her guild, almost supernaturally so. There is something missing in her, a sense of human relaxation or deviation from the mission. She seems to be all work, no play. Compassion is relatively new for Aurelia, though not something she ever forgets. Bonds: The word of law is so widespread and over-arching that it sometimes allows unfortunate souls to slip through the cracks. Sometimes it takes a caring hand to guide the lost to the land of the found. Aurelia empowers her firefists, her fighters and clerics and paladins that work under her strict code of ethics.

Abhorrent Overlord[edit]
|
Large fiend, lawful evil Armor Class 16 (natural armor)
Saving Throws Con +7, Cha +7 Innate Spellcasting. The abhorrent overlord's spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 15). It can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components: 1/day each: confusion, crown of madness, suggestion Insatiable Greed. The abhorrent overlord can sense the presence of gold within 1,000 feet of itself. It can determine which location has the greatest amount of gold and can sense the direction to that site. If the gold is being moved, it knows the direction of the movement. It can't locate gold if any thickness of clay or lead, even a thin sheet, blocks a direct path between it and the gold. Magic Resistance. The abhorrent overlord has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects. ACTIONSMultiattack. The abhorrent overlord makes two attacks with its claws. Claws. Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 14 (2d8 + 5) slashing damage plus 14 (4d6) necrotic damage. The abhorrent overlord regains hit points equal to half the amount of necrotic damage dealt if the target is a creature. Storm of Crows (Recharge 6). The abhorrent overlord conjures a swarm of spectral crows and harpies in a 20-foot-radius sphere centered on a point the overlord can see within 120 feet of it. The sphere remains for 1 minute or until the overlord loses concentration (as if concentrating on a spell), and its area is lightly obscured and difficult terrain. Any creature that moves into the area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw. A creature takes 16 (3d10) slashing damage plus 16 (3d10) psychic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
