This foul creature has a deadly gaze.

Arkhan's manticore pet is just as intelligent and malevolent as the master!

Pathfinder Hezrous eschew the biomechanical look in favor of playing up their toad connection.

These draconic devils resemble chromatic dragons.

A fallen angel who usurped Bel's position directing the armies of Avernus.

No one knows the origin or purpose of the Zodars. They can speak once in their lifetime and can grant limited wishes before disappearing forever. Why are they here?

A deceptively intelligent and vicious predator, the top of the food train nearly anywhere.

This aged and mysterious druid is a member of the Pirate Council of the Shackles!

Some undead monsters make you question your sanity.

Boneclaws are more than mere undead - these gigantic dessicated corpses are intelligent, and have claws that can extend for up to twenty feet. Moreso, when you reconcile their various pieces of lore in D&D canon... they are natural. A natural mutation, or perhaps evolution of undead creatures. Necromancers have managed to replicate the effect and create their own, but... Boneclaws are a natural occurance. Be terrified.

Drinking unholy water turned this goblin into a mutated abomination.

Extremely powerful shock troopers among Ba'atezu Devils, the Vornugons wield spiked chains that are enchanted to inflict extra pain!

They steal, they snatch, they kidnap from the shadows!

Also known as a Catastrophe Dragon, for a reason.

She's at home in the water, yes - but she is also so ugly that just looking at her can kill!

A being of true law and justice.

These scavenger beasts serve a purpose by cleaning up dungeons.

Bel towers over his peers as he commands the vast legions of Avernus!

I know they look just like orangutans, but Bar-Lguras are demons that are nearly as mean as the average orangutan! Bar-Lguras are also known as "Abduction demons" becaus ekidnapping is their favorite activity - either through teleportation magic or just by grabbin' someone and swinging away!

You know, sometimes I think D&D designers got a little lazy. But then I enjoy the monsters anyway.

While a fat ogre might seem funny at first, realize this means that he has no problems finding people to eat.

Yes, I know you survived his tomb, but perhaps you should let this skull be.

The perfect spy!

The corpse of a dragon pupeteered by an Elder Brain, this leader of the Mind Flayers is an imposing foe!

One of the few non-evil Drow gods, Eilistraee governs moonlight, the dance, beauty, and goodness.

Low in the ranks of Yugoloths, the monstrous Canoloth creatures are savage dogs of war!

This time it's a tiny Ithorian ON an iTouch. :)

Also, happy Star Wars Day!! :)

"May the Fourth by with you"!

Just a little cave dragon baby!

To stand against the darkness...

To face overwhelming odds...

To sacrifice oneself in the name of righteousness...

This is what it means to be a Holy Paladin.

A Paladin in Hell is the name of one of the most classic pieces of Dungeons & Dragons art, one which has been reproduced in every edition and occasionally in other gaming systems, too. A paladin, the holiest of holy warriors, fights alone against all the hordes of Hell itself.

For a good overview, look here: hackslashmaster.blogspot.com/2012/01/on-classic-imagery-p...

A good test of the average RPGer is how they look at this picture - is the paladin going to make it out of there? Will he be overwhelmed? Do you see it as hopeful or sad? Exciting or terrifying? Will he be victorious in holding back evil, or is he sacrificing himself? Regardless, this image of one man standing against the darkness has inspired more stories and characters than anybody can count.

Genies of water, marids are powerful and capricious to the extreme, ruling over the waves like gods.

Don't dance.

Also known as the Seraptis, Suicide Demons, uh... yeah. They influence people.

I am kind of amazed that Wizkids didn't use the Seraptis name for this one. I am even more amazed that they featured the Suicide Demon on the side of the box for Wrath of the Righteous. WOW, are they trying to start a controversy, or something?

Anyway, Seraptis demons induce depression in their victims and try to influence their minds. In combat, the gashes and wounds covering their wrists and arms can grow teeth and bite.

I put her against the bleakest backdrop I could think of, because you just can't make suicide any worse.

My Little Ponies, Apocalypse Ponies... well, sorta.

The Nightmare is an awesome D&D thing. It's a big flaming shadowy evil horse of evil doom from a bad place, usually tamed only by bad people. But I say, why? Sure, it's actually an evil horse, but you could trian it to be good! most horses aren't exactly nice little creatures, anyway.

Born of agony, Wrackspawns are a tortured combination of demon and undead that can only feel pain.

It looks kind of like it belongs in Stephen King's The Mist, doesn't it?

King amonf the horrific aberrations, the Beholder's eyes contain terrible powers! The central eye projects anti-magic, while the stalks fire crippling beams of sleep, hypnosis, enervation, telekinesis, petrification, pain, disintegration, and death!

A subterranean race of psychic monsters, the origin of the Illithids, or Mind Flayers, is unknown, often theorized to be an ancient lost race, or aliens, or creatures from th far future. Mind Flayers believe in their own superiority, and see others as food - true to their name, they devour the brains of their victims.

Lower to the ground and more slender, but with a gaze that's just as deadly!
