Talk:Larva Metroid (5e Creature)

CR 4

5 offense (33 dmg optimistically, ~+6 hit)

3 defense (90 hp, 16 AC). Arguably even lower due to cold vulnerability, even though it's not as bad as the practical OHKOT it is in most Metroid games.

According to DMG page 274.
As an aside I'm not sure where the permanent hp reduction comes from? I don't remember anything like that from Metroid lore. Debilitating but doesn't directly affect CR, I'd say.
I love metroids and overall I'd say this is pretty good, especially the Fluff. I'd like to tweak the stats to fix CR sometime, if someone doesn't beat me to it. - Guy 16:13, 19 August 2024 (MDT)
