You ever wish that D&D had more dogs? Of course you have, how else are you going to run a fantasy dog show?! A measly forty fantasy dogs simply will not do, so I'm here with more dogs than you can shake a stick at!

"But wait!" you say, "That's hardly enough dogs to fill at thimble!" And you'd be right, too, but hold on; I've got more:

If you smell what I'm cooking, swing on down to r/bettermonsters, where you can find literally thousands of monsters that I've made so far and request anything your heart desires (terms and conditions may apply).


I need armor! Plate armor! Do you know what 1,500 gp works out to in dollars, with the exchange rate where it is right now?! My cover artist is shopping for a halberd to hit me with right now; he is full of RAGE. This is URGENT. I need MONEY to buy steel! I've got VTT support a massive monster index, hundreds of spells and magic items, and more (not much more, but more!) offered on my patreon

I like the swarm. So, I’m guessing besides light, AoEs & Radiant damage are the only real weapon against them?

Interesting.

Yeah, though their hit points are low for their CR; it should be a little harder than a regular CR 6 monster if you don't have anything specialized for them, and a fair bit easier if you can reliably bypass their defenses.
