Spelljamer is chock full of recent monsters. From the hilarious to the horrific, these are the 5 most superior monsters in area.

In Spelljammer: Adventures in Space adventurers enterprise into the depths of Wildspace and the Astral Plane the place all method of horrible monsters lurk. From killer klowns to comets made by evil spellcasters, there are some really twisted creatures.

And these are 5 of our absolute favorites.

Murder Comet

This one skates by on identify alone, we’ll admit. But how are you not going to like a monster that may be a literal homicide comet? These are primarily flame skulls taken to the subsequent stage.

A homicide comet is what you get when an evil spellcaster combines the essence of earth elemental with the essence of fireside elemental. The result’s a screaming, fiery comet, which might be unhealthy sufficient by itself. But the homicide comet’s creator can bind their spirit to the comet, inflicting them to change into ageless and immortal, free to race throughout the celebs with out the necessity for air, sleep, or sustenance.

What makes this explicit type of evil immortality attention-grabbing is that it’s remarkably self-sustaining when you do it. You don’t should drink blood or sacrifice souls. You simply change into a homicide comet. Sure you explode whenever you die and there’s no getting back from that, so it’s immortality so long as you don’t get killed. But hey, with a fly pace of 120 ft, who’s going to catch you?

Braxat

These towering armored beasts are coated in spikes and horns with powerful pores and skin. They’re like a strolling pentaceratops, or at worst a styracosaurus, each of that are purpose sufficient to like them already.

But a braxat is greater than only a large bipedal dino. They converse in “a voice similar to that of a human.” And they inhabit deserts, canyons, wastelands, and lonely asteroids. Also, they spit acid like a Space Marine.

But what pushes them excessive, is that they’re additionally extraordinarily highly effective psionics. Not solely have they got a ton of hit factors and excessive armor class, bolstered by their psionic powers. But they will additionally trigger worry, solid a psionic protect, and may compel creatures to do issues.

Eye Monger

Eye Mongers really feel like a creature out of The Dark Crystal or Baron Munchausen. At relaxation, a watch monger is unmistakable from a traditional asteroid, in as a lot as an asteroid is regular But when it senses vibrations in area (which presents up some perception into the physics of D&D) close by, it opens up its eye.

And mouth.

And that’s the very best half, actually. These huge asteroid monsters starvation for the whole lot. And what they will’t digest, they retailer of their antimagic stomach. That’s proper, each eye monger has an antimagic gullet that negates any spell, magic merchandise, or one other magical impact inside.

Esthetic

An esthetic is principally a residing ship. It’s a organic, symbiotic creation of the cephalopod-like reigar, additionally launched within the e book. These cosmic area jellyfish ships are bioluminescent and have a wide range of shapes.

Each esthetic can comprise as much as seven creatures and may survive so long as their creator is alive. It’s not precisely Moya, however hey, what’s to not love about one thing that allows you to do Farscape however in D&D?

Kindori

Finally, we’ve got the area whales. Space whales are part of our collective unconscious as a result of there’s one thing about trying up on the evening sky and considering “yeah I bet a whale could be in that” that’s simply so universally human.

Even Link’s Awakening is aware of this. These majestic creatures talk through flashing mild throughout huge distances. They take nourishment from the sunshine of the suns and stars. A single pod of kindori would possibly trigger the evening sky to twinkle with stellar marvel as they swim by the cosmos.

And on high of all of that, they’re massive sufficient to have their very own gravity airplane and air envelope, enabling smaller creatures to dwell and journey on their physique.
