dungeons and dragons monsters d history
is littered
with the evil of mind flares the
demogorgon is tired of your silly human
bickering
they manipulate oozes to create these
creatures
the oh blacks for this list we'll be
looking at the most terrifying creatures
from the world's most popular
role-playing
game let us know which monsters frighten
you the most in the comments
now on to the top 10.
number 10 flash golem golems are
constructs that can be cobbled together
out of a wide number of materials
including stone
iron or in more horrific cases body
parts
often constructed out of mismatching
parts from different deceased humanoid
races
flesh golems are unthinking hulking
monstrosities that can't be reasoned
with
it
in the name of god i know what it feels
like to be
god largely inspired by frankenstein's
monster
the hodgepodge of body parts is perfect
for a gothic horror campaign
as with frankenstein's creation one of
the few things that's effective against
a flesh golem
is fire in fact the monster possesses
immense strength and resistances to most
non-magical forms of damage
and is even healed by lightning number
nine
mimic many an adventurer has been
tricked while walking through a door or
opening a treasure chest
only to find that the object has sharp
teeth and is trying to bite their hand
off
possessing the ability to make
themselves look like almost
any inanimate object a mimic could be
anywhere
or anything worse still is the fact that
anyone that touches a mimic while it's
disguised becomes stuck to it because of
its adhesive ability
this means that those fool-hearty enough
to be tricked have to break free from a
grapple to avoid
being devoured number eight gibbering
mouther
while it may be terrifying to see a
gibbering mouther hearing one
is even worse
a disgusting amorphous blob covered with
mouths and eyes
these grotesque creatures get their
names from the constant
babbling or jibbering they emit
those within 20 feet have to succeed on
a wisdom-saving throw or be driven mad
by the terrible sounds
getting even closer players have to
succeed on a strength-saving throw or be
trapped in the ground that surrounds it
when seeing one of these ugly beings
it's best to keep one's distance
and attack from afar number seven
basilisk
this fearsome reptile has taken on a
wide range of forms in myth and popular
culture
harry potter fans might be most familiar
with it as a giant snake
however it's also sometimes described as
similar to a cockatrice
or a huge lizard the dungeons and
dragons variety is
lizard-like with eight legs and purple
spines as in many legends of the beast
its piercing gaze has the power to
petrify anyone unlucky enough to be
caught in it
there was water on the floor that night
she only saw the basilisks reflection
its tactics include freezing its foe in
place and then
striking at the immobile enemy with its
massive jaws
number six beholder there's a reason why
the cover of the monster manual features
a group
fleeing in terror from this aberration
while
many may focus on the large eye in the
middle of the floating monster
the eyes you truly need to worry about
are the ones on its many stalks
please don't tell my supervisor i was
sleeping aside from allowing it to see
in practically any direction the ten
eyes are each capable of hitting their
opponents with a variety of beams
including fear charm and even instant
death
these are no mindless monsters however
as beholders are often master
manipulators
in their own right number five carrion
crawler
these monstrous worms can burrow
underground and swallow an unsuspecting
adventurer in just one bite
reminiscent of the sand worms from dune
the secret weapon of these giant
centipede-like monsters
is the paralyzing tentacles near their
carnivorous maw
[Music]
a few errant rolls could lead to an
entire party unable to move
and for lower level parties even a tpk
perhaps the most disturbing thing about
these creatures is their awful stench
[Music]
those that have encountered these
massive worms have said their smell can
most accurately be compared to that of
rotting bodies
number four aboleth the abolish are
reminiscent of
lovecraftian horrors huge ugly and
possessing terrifying
psionic powers they come from a time
before even the gods existed
incredibly intelligent they inherit
memories from their ancestors and
possess
secrets of the multiverse beyond mortal
imagination
existing beneath the waves these sea
dwellers have haunted sailors and
adventurers
since sentient races first ventured away
from the shore
[Music]
with their large gaping maws rows of
glowing red eyes
and dangerous mucus they resemble a
gigantic
6 500 pound eel with multiple fins
meeting one of them on the open sea will
often spell certain doom for all but the
most
experienced adventurers number 3.
oblex while walking through a dimly lit
cave
you see your long lost brother a dead
friend or a past lover
other than a faint smell of sulfur
nothing seems amiss
and you go to embrace them once you do
however you notice a slimy sticky
sensation
this is not your loved one at all but a
perfectly crafted imitation
an adult or elder obleks can actually
carry within itself
basically the memories of a host
of people and cause versions of those
people
to pop up soon you're devoured by the
carnivorous slime known as an oblex
which feeds on your memories once you're
gone it will know everything you've ever
known
and perhaps will even use your form to
trap its next victim
number 2 dracolich wizards that have
used dark magic to mock the bounds of
death
liches are without a doubt one of the
most terrifying enemies in dnd
more terrifying than a human or an elf
lich is a dragon from beyond the grave
living dragons are already some of the
most powerful foes around and adding
horrific
undead abilities to them makes them
nearly unbeatable
even if a party is able to kill one of
these unholy terrors
it'll come back from the dead again and
again unless the phylactery housing its
soul is destroyed too
before we unveil our top pick here are a
few other d d monsters that'll give you
the heebie-jeebies
hag this plane shifting monstrous has an
ethereal creepiness

horns
and claws
[Music]
balor warmongering humanoid anarchist
driven by pure rage
oozes these gelatinous cave dwellers are
both icky
and deadly

number one mind flayer
some of the most intelligent and evil
beings in all of dungeons and dragons
lore
these tentacle-faced horrors enslaved
entire worlds in past
ages d history is littered with
the evil of mind flares now they operate
from the shadows dwelling in the vast
network of underground civilizations
known as the underdark
seeking to manipulate the free races of
all worlds
once again they perform grotesque
experiments including the creation of
the oblects
the mind players have very powerful mind
powers
that will let them dominate entire
kingdoms entire worlds so they can once
again ascend and rule everything
they strike fear into the hearts of
sentient life across the multiverse
perhaps worst of all is that in the rare
event it's unable to defeat you with its
wits
it may simply wrap those tentacles
around your skull
and feast on your brain
