Beware a puppeteer that has gone mad with power and wants to control the rest of the world as completely as they control their puppets. If you encounter one you'll have to deal with their army of puppets while avoiding their poisoned needle, or you might end up joining their ever-growing ranks.

They've also go a minion, the Living Puppet, and optionally can inflict the party with the Puppeteer's Mark curse.

So I remember reading a long while back about a monster in D&D that are like people but they can have tentacles and other weirdness but they're not mindflayers. Apparently in some old lore the mindflayers served them? I cannot remember what they're called and Google isn't much help when everything I search just comes up saying Mindflayers lmao

Hello all! I’ve been tasked with drafting up stats for a new kind of monstrosity my character is creating. We are playing the Dragonlance setting and my character is a biomancer (specialising in creating monstrosities) who managed to witness, scribe and escape alive with the ritual for creating Draconians. His species is the Vedalkens, and we’ve adapted them and their Clades to the setting, so now we’ve got an opportunity where the Guardian Clade wants to sponsor his research / creation of Noble (Chromatic) Draconian x Krasis. My character knows the location of chromatic dragon eggs, so he intends to use them (3e goes into noble draconians).

I rarely create stat blocks so am seeking some ideas. Krasis have awesome stat blocks to begin with, but noble Draconians are different - the idea I had was to use the stat blocks of Krasis (and their adaptions) + the traits of Draconians but that seems OP. He has numerous level 14 to 18 biomancers working on creating these monsters.

Please see below for the creation method for Draconians from 3e as this may impact the stats.

Creation Pool: An exceptionally powerful group of casters is able to channel much more raw magical energy into the creation process, augmenting the draconians created and making them even stronger or using the additional energies to increase the number of draconians produced by each dragon egg. Occasionally the dark trio involved in draconian creation uses the energies to produce a single draconian from each egg-one of superior strength to the others, in hopes it might be a natural leader.

Every 3 caster levels that a single caster has above 10th level adds 1 point to the creation pool, as does each age category that the dragon has attained above very old. Also, an additional divine/ arcane casting pair with the Create Draconians feat can contribute to the ceremony, granting an additional +1 to the creation pool (their actual caster levels are irrelevant, as only the primary pair's levels affect the creation pool). No more than two additional pairs can contribute to the creation pool. The creation pool can be used to achieve the following effects. Unless otherwise noted, each effect requires only 1 point from the creation pool.

Additional Draconians: The most common use of the creation pool is to cause each egg to produce more draconians than the base number, depending on the variety of dragon egg being used. Each point spent from the creation pool affects a single egg.

Additional Hit Dice: For every 2 creation points spent, you grant a single draconian in an egg additional Dragon Hit Dice that affect its base attack bonus, saves, and skill points accordingly. Every 2 HD that the draconian acquires beyond its norm increases its CR by +1. The caster level for aurak, bozak, and vapor draconians increases by +1 with each additional Dragon HD gained to a maximum of 14th caster level. Bonus Feats: For each creation point spent, you can grant a single draconian a bonus feat selected from the following list. The draconian need not possess the

prerequisites to take advantage of the feat. The following feats can be found in the Dragonlance Campaign Setting, the Player's Handbook, and the Monster Manual: Ability Focus, Draconian Breath Weapon, Improved Initiative, Improved Natural Armor, Improved Natural Attack, Skill Focus, Spectacular Death Throes. Every three feats increases the draconian's CR and level adjustment by +1.

Extra Use: For every 2 creation points expended in this manner, a draconian with a limited use special attack, or special quality, can use an ability of his choosing an additional one time per day. Each three additional uses increases both the draconian's CR and level adjustment by +1. Increase Ability Score: For each creation point used, you can increase the base ability score of a single draconian by +2. No single ability score can gain more than +4 from this process. The draconian's CR and level adjustment increases by +1 for every 3 points used to increase ability scores.”

Does anyone have any suggestions for creating these monstrosities? The scarier the better! In Dragonlance, there is nothing more wicked than corrupting dragon eggs, and my character understands raw power in monstrosities so would encourage the biomancers to make them nasty / versatile. The goal is to create super soldiers, essentially. There is no issue with funding - go wild with any ideas. What would you be terrified to face combining these 2 abominations (monstrosities)? Also, name ideas? So far Chromokrasis is the winner for me but I am open to suggestions. This is to pitch to my DM as he needs to know what my character intends to create - Thank you for any help and let me know if any further info is needed :)

This isn’t EXACTLY a monster, but my character is becoming an aberration.

I’m playing in an A5E campaign that includes “mythic ranks.” My character is an intel based warlock, high elf eladrin. He’s got antlers, and is currently (and has always been) in the winter season. My mythic rank includes a lot of intel based stat buffs, in trade I receive multiple indefinite madnesses and it makes me half aberration at rank 2, full aberration at rank 5, toward the end of the campaign. Rank 2 will be coming up pretty soon in the campaign, and I’m wanting to commission art for what my character would end up looking like. I’ve thought about multiple eyes (similar to kar’niss in bg3,) or elongated fingers that look frost bitten sorta, skin color changes to a purplish-blue hue.

Does anyone have any suggestions on specific aberration characteristics that would be cool to implement?
