Name: Smoke and Shadow Description: The Blade of Smoke and Shadow is an impressive longsword with a blade fashioned entirely from thick, black smoke. Though it doesn’t appear to be physically solid, it can slice through metal and flesh with ease. The handle is wrapped in soft black leather, with several large, obsidian gems embedded…
So, let’s talk about the Memory Web. The first appearance of this particular VERY neutral monster was in the UK Module When A Star Falls UK4 (9120) in 1984. I like this one for use as a trap. It’s very rare and, while the No. Appearing says 1, there’s no rule that says I have…
Whenever it comes to slime (especially the green stuff) I always think of the cans of the gunk you can get at Walmart. This one predates those and sets me heart racing. I loved this module when I was a kid! Gary Gygax‘s The Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth S4 (9061) was a masterpiece for levels…
Here’s a fun one going back to 1984 and it’s from our friends in Great Britain no less! This is from Drums on Fire Mountain X8 (9127) for characters level 5-8. If you haven’t played a U.K. module before, you’re in for a treat. They have some unique monsters and this one has all the…
The Bullet Bee is an extraordinary creature that resembles a large bumble bee with a mesmerizing appearance. Measuring about a six inches in length, the sheer size of this insect alone is enough to set it apart from its smaller counterparts. Its body is covered in fine, shimmering black fur that almost seems to absorb…
Does anybody actually use this in an adventure anymore? In the Original 1979 Dungeon Master’s Guide, Baba Yaga’s Hut had its first mention as an artifact. In Dragon Magazine #53 in September of 1981 Baba Yaga herself made an appearance in The Bogatyrs of old Kiev. In Dragon Magazine #83 (March 1984) Baba Yaga and her…

Where did this piece of Shitake first appear? How about In the Dungeons of the Slave Lords A4 (9042) in 1981! But unlike some of the other monsters we post, this guy made it into one of the big book! He made it into the original Monster Manual 2 in 1983 and the updated version…

When I created this I wanted something unique and, since I’m currently working on a series of modules taking place in the Raurin Desert, I came up with this little guy. Not much is known about the Raurin Desert so, for all we know, anything could be out there. And let me introduce you to…
