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!

A massive titan of metal and smoke and steam.

The mighty Jotun will bring Ragnarok with them.

The rider was Death, and Hades followed behind.

Fun factoid: Cerberus apparently comes from a root word meaning "Spotted." So yes, Hades named his dog Spot.

the Ghost Fungus is not a true ghost, but they do often turn invisible before stalking prey!

Dungeons & Dragons and Pathfinder are not known for making good-aligned or redeemed demons. Generally speaking, demons are made of evil. Arueshalae is a redeemed succubus. She is surprisingly well-written, and seems like an actual character who exists for more reasons than random sex appeal. I almost regret that they chose a succubus, though - why not a less-humanoid, uglier demon type? A pretty lady is easier for the player party to accept, but something ugly would take some actual thought.

 

That said, Arueshalae is essentially a paladin, and actually devoted to finding redemption. So no. No sexytimes. She's sworn it off.

Celestial (boobies) serpent-women who (boobies) promote justice, goodness, (boobies) and mercy, Lillends can shapeshift (boobies) and have a great variety of holy magical (boobies) powers. They are also highly protective of art, music, (boobies) culture, and all things beautiful.

Some say that these creatures are from another world.

Cold and wet climates fuel his regeneration. Ice Trolls seem rather intelligent and resourceful for their kind.

He disguises himself as a stone statue quite easily.

Look, they come to life, okay?

Deathpriest Krull is an accomplished cleric of Tiamat. His shell is inscribed with prayers to the infernal dragon goddess.

Service will never end.

WOTC AT-AT from Star Wars Miniatures game.

Repainted and weathered.

The Aboleths existed before the gods were borh. And they will outlive them.

The mad, deformed lords of evil Fae, Fomorians are twisted and hunched, the gaze from their evil eyes causing madness wherever they are!

 

Their icy breath is like a blizzard!

"Astral dreadnoughts exist for one reason: hubris. Not the hubris of mortals, but the hubris of gods who deem themselves too mighty to be approached and looked upon." -Mordenkainen

Titanic eldritch abominations, many legends persist about the origin of these creatures. Ancient titans created by Tharizdun? Weapons against the gods? Powerful aspects of the unmerciful chaos of the universe?

Now, these two had a legendary duel... which was actually a prank war.

Seen in 1966 and 1967 in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, the Mothman raises questions veen today. What was it? A ghost? An alien? An owl?

once upon a time, these blind creatures were ordinary Hobgoblins.

Goblins experimented upon until they became unrecognizable, the average Dolgrim is literally two creatures mashed together.

The spirit of a particularly powerful witch cannot be quenched!

 

More lethal than the Ducksnake!

A troll who found the Eye of Vecna and attempted to use it!

Belephaion's adornments reflect his rank.

Stocky and "short" by Giant standards, Fire Giants are nonetheless powerful warriors and expert smiths.

A mighty titan among Draconians! They can mimic the dead.

His eye sees through life and death.

Holy objects of Serpentfolk worship, Hollow Serpents are undead, made from the shed skin of giant snakes.

 

He rules over flame and forge.

HOLY CRAP THAT THING'S AS BIG AS A MINIVAN.

 

Beholders come in all shapes and sizes. Ultimate Tyrants are the biggest and toughest of them, easily on par with the strongest monsters in D&D, period. Your average Ultimate Tyrant's eye rays can burn, wither, freeze, toss, madden, petrify, disintegrate, or even unravel people, and that's just the beginning! In fact, in 4th Edition, there's a variant of these guys (The Eternal Tyrant) who is arguably as tough in a fight as some of the gods.

 

Also, since it's bigger than a GI Joe, it's an awesome desk ornament.

Strange, winged, ghoul-like fiends, Berbalangs devour the dead, and can even split their bodies. A nightmare from the Philippines, the only known way to repel one is with a coconut pearl. But coconut pearls don't exist, do they?

You know, as opposed to those hip new druids now.

When you think of a Lovecraft monster as an amorphous blob of tentacles and eyes, you're probably thinking of a Shoggoth.

 

"It was a terrible, indescribable thing vaster than any subway train—a shapeless congeries of protoplasmic bubbles, faintly self-luminous, and with myriads of temporary eyes forming and un-forming as pustules of greenish light all over the tunnel-filling front that bore down upon us, crushing the frantic penguins and slithering over the glistening floor that it and its kind had swept so evilly free of all litter."

-At the Mountains of Madness

 

These things were created to be servitors of the Elder Things, and have a lot of brief mentions in Lovecraft's stories, most prominently appearing in At The Mountains Of Madness.

Yay for gender equality! There are more sexy succubus figures than I can count, but precious few manly incubi. SO, yeah... he seduces women to steal their souls. Like most men.

The god of dwarves. He's actually kind of tall.

Orcs can adjust to all sorts of environments.

AKA Everybody On The Internet. For realz.

 

D&D Trolls are infamous for their ability to regenerate from anything, even being chopped up into trollbits. The only way to kill one is to burn it with fire or acid, which puts it down for the count (and wa salso the solution in the novel, Three Hearts And Three Lions, from which Dungeons & Dragons swiped its troll design). Don't let his big goofy nose fool you - the average troll is about ten feet tall, and can easily crush your skull like a melon.

This beautiful celestial Lillend is a true lover of beauty and the arts, and will defend her friends to the end.

The Nabasu revel in ending life, sucking it from the bones of their victims.
