Creatures CR 50+ (5e Variant Rule)

Creatures Beyond CR 50

Design Note: This rule is to be used with Mythic Monsters (5e Variant Rule) and characters beyond 20th level, as in Characters Beyond 20th Level, another variant rule.

If you want to give your characters an extra challenge, these creatures are for characters at least 40th level or so ONLY. A creature CR 51 or more can devastate a whole world, and only the mightiest could stand against them and live. These creatures can be even bigger than Titanic creatures:

Size

Massive

Creatures of Massive size occupy a space of 200 ft. by 200 ft. or larger. They have d500 Hit Dice (average 2500.5 ½).

Supermassive

Creatures of Supermassive size occupy a space of 500 ft. by 500 ft. or larger. They have d1,000 Hit Dice (average 5000.5 ½).

Since AC 25 means that it is a "very hard" task to hit the monster, and a CR 80 creature deals enough damage to kill another CR 80 with two hits, and the minimum saving throw bonus possible for a CR 80 is +16, which gives the creature a better than 50 percent chance of succeeding on a DC 25 saving throw, the CR track ends here. It is possible for creatures above CR 80 to exist, but 80 is about the maximum CR for creatures that there are more than one of. Creatures more powerful than this are so powerful that even the greatest adventurers could probably not defeat. Anyway, here is the XP reward for CR 51-80:
