D&D 5E - Brainstorming: Getting Rid of the Monstrosity Creature Type

Posted by Patria Henriques on Wednesday, July 24, 2024
Ankheg - Beast

Basilisk - Beast

Behir - Beast?? (Maybe a creature type for "fleshy creatures made/warped through magic" would be good?)

Bulette - Beast

Carrion Crawler - Beast

Centaur - Fey

Chimera - Fiend? Aberration? Like the Behir, this is a creature created by another creature, so maybe we can keep the "monstrosity" creature type so long as the definition is restricted to "living creatures magic + artificial selection?"

Cockatrice - Beast

Darkmantle - Aberration? Beast? Shadow-creature?

Death Dog - Fiend? Undead? Beast?
