Armor, Weapon, & Tool Proficiency
Assume that a creature is proficient with its armor,
weapons, and tools. If you swap them out, you
decide whether the creature is proficient with its
new equipment.
For example, an ogre typically wears hide armor
and wields a greatclub. You could equip an ogre with
chain mail and a greataxe instead, and assume the
ogre is proficient with both, one or the other, or
neither.
See the 5th edition Player's Handbook for rules on
using armor or weapons without proficiency.

Special Traits
Special traits (which appear after a monster's challenge
rating but before any actions or reactions) are character-
istics that are likely to be relevant in a combat encounter
and that require some explanation.
Innate Spellcasting
A monster with this innate ability to cast spells has the
Innate Spellcasting special trait. Unless noted otherwise,
an innate spell of 1st level or higher is always cast as its
lowest possible level and can't be cast at a higher level. If a
monster has a cantrip where its level matters and no level
is given, use the monster's challenge rating.
An innate spell can have special rules or restrictions. For
example, a spell might have a "self only" restriction, which
means that the spell affects only the caster.
A monster's innate spells can't be swapped out with
other spells. If a monster's innate spells don't require attack
rolls, no attack bonus is given for them.
Spellcasting
A monster with the Spellcasting class feature has a
spellcaster level and spell slots, which it uses to cast its
spells of 1st level and higher (as explained in the 5th
edition Player's Handbook). The spellcaster level is also
used for any cantrips included in the feature.
The monster has a list of spells known or prepared from
a particular class. The list might also include spells from a
feature in that class, such as the Divine Priesthood feature
of the priest or the Druid Path feature of the druid.
A monster can cast spells from its list at a higher level if
it has the spell slot to do so. For example, a creature with
the 3rd-level lightning bolt spell can cast it as a higher level
spell if such a spell slot is available.
You can change the spells that a monster knows or has
prepared, replacing any spell on a monster's spell list with a
different spell of the same level and from the same class
list. If you do so, you might cause the monster to be a
greater or lesser threat than suggested by its challenge
rating.
Psionics
A monster that casts spells using only the power of its
mind has the psionics tag added to its Spellcasting or
Innate Spellcasting special trait. This tag carries no special
rules of its own, but other parts of the game might refer to
it. A monster that has this tag typically doesn't require any
components to cast its spells.
Actions
When a monster takes its action, it can choose from the
options in the Action section of its stat block or use one of
the actions available to all creatures, such as the Dash or
Hide action, as described in the 5th edition Player's
Handbook
Melee and Ranged Attacks
The most common action that a monster will take in
combat are melee and ranged attacks. These can be spell
attacks or weapon attacks, where the "weapon" might be a
manufactured item or a natural weapon, such as a claw or
tail spike. For more information on the different kinds of
attacks, see the 5th edition Player's Handbook.

attack is either one creature or one target, the difference

Bog Beasts
A bog beast is a massive, shambling monster made of
plants, roots, and flesh. Inhabiting bogs and swamps, they
hide away beneath the water surface, disguising them-
selves as thick, waterlogged lumps of vegetation. There
they wait patiently for any unaware critters to venture too
close -- or better yet, unaware adventurers.
Creatures of Mystery. Bog beasts are frightful crea-
tures, and notoriously elusive. They are adept at avoiding
the gaze of scholars attempting to study them; and for
many who have tried, only moss-riddled remains have been
found. Their aggressive, territorial nature makes them a
considerable danger to any unfortunate enough to cross
paths with them.
Plants Anatomy. Thick roots stretch across the entirety
of the bog beast's form, as if to conceal what hides under-
neath. It is speculated that they have no real need for
sustenance apart from the waters they dwell in, and some
have been observed spending months still in the murky
depths -- only barely grasping the surface to draw breath.
Naturally Powerful. Explorers who have encountered a
bog beast and lived to tell the tale, describe them as
immensely powerful and resilient to harm. Their massive
limbs can quickly overwhelm their enemies, crushing
opponents with their fists or with whatever nearby objects
they can throw.
Timberling
A timberling is by many considered the child of bog beasts,
very similar and yet considerably smaller at a height
comparable to that of a dwarf. As far as bog beasts go,
timberlings are fairly peaceful creatures that live in
harmony with the land. However, any disruption to their
habitat will quickly drive them into an unnatural frenzy.
Thistleshrub
Thistleshrubs, unlike most bog beasts, do not dwell in
swamps or marshes. Instead they prefer arid climates, and
bear a resemblance to a large mass of withered vines cov-
ered in sharp briars. They are known to be very hostile, and
will certainly attack anyone foolish enough to approach;
sporadically lashing out with whip-like thorns at anything
that comes near.
Swampwalker
These hulking masses are rarely ever witnessed outside of
dense swamps, and blend perfectly into their chosen
habitat with their dark green and brown colors.
They are both the most territorial and the most cunning
among bog beasts, and have been witnessed deliberately
attempting to lure travellers farther into their lair in order
to spring a trap. Their natural camouflage allows them to
move through their territory entirely unseen, and have left
adventurers wary even of rippling water and rustling leaves
when venturing through swamps.
Tar Creeper
Cherishing humid air and temperatures, the tar creeper is
by far the most abnormal of all bog beasts for its viscous,
tar-like appearance. Not to mention the most dangerous.
Though they might seem slow, these massive beasts can
B cut through tar like a fish through water; lunging forth to

Centaurs
Abundant across the plains of central and southern
Kalimdor, the centaur are a race of half-horse humanoids,
appearing as a human's torso, arms, and head extending
from the neck of an equine body. Full-grown centaurs stand
over seven feet tall, hooves to head, and weigh over a ton.
Nomadic Culture. They keep in small nomadic tribes,
roaming the broad regions they consider their territory,
with regular spots by which they settle their tents to hunt
and forage. Each tribe is lorded by its khan, who'll more
often than not keep open conflict with both neighboring
tribes and races alike.
While on their warpath, travelling from place to place,
centaurs often claim prisoners during their raids. Usually,
these prisoners are tortured, driven to exhaustion, and
eventually eaten.
Cycle of Conflict. Though many attempts have been
made, either between tribes or at the behest of tauren
settlements in a tribe's warpath, the centaur have never
been ones for diplomacy.
Both the Horde and the Alliance have done their part to
feed this inter-tribal conflict, seeing it as a necessary act to
keep scattered clans, especially in regions such as the
Barrens or Desolace, from banding together and becoming
a more dangerous foe.
Centaur Earthcaller
Though centaurs follow a shamanistic faith, their rites and
rituals are unique; given their heritage as children of the
elemental princess Theradras. Earth Callers are commonly
female centaurs, acting as shamans of their tribes as they
wield the power to rain elemental earth upon their foes.
Centaur Khan
At the heart of each centaur tribe is the khan, who acts as a
leader both for their great intelligence and their unmatched
ferocity. Rage and savagery are key to the centaur khans,
allowing them to lead their tribe into battle as a fearless
commander without equal.
Centaur Names and Languages
The centaur speak Low Common, and often learn phrases
from the languages of their enemies; including Common,
Orcish, Goblin, and Taur-ahe. A few centaurs even go as far
as to learn the entirety of these languages, with fewer still
adopting this second language as their primary language.
Their names are short and sharp, while tribes draw their
name from the first khan to lead them -- such as khan Gelk
of the Gelkis. The ending of a tribe's name sits at the whim
of its first khan, it is speculated that they draw these from
other languages spoken by the tribe's founding members.

The Children of Zaetar
The centaur are the progeny of Zaetar, a Keeper of
the Grove and son of Cenarius; Lord of the forest
and Demigod of the Groves. Though Zaetar was no
lesser than his brother, Remulos, he often felt
himself living in the shadow of his brother's
presence and accomplishments.
When Cenarius sent his son Zaetar out to
investigate the re-emergence of the elemental
princess Theradras, daughter of Therazane the
Stonemother, Zaetar saw himself enchanted by
Theradras' beauty.
The two became mates, in secrecy, and out of
their forbidden union the centaur were born. Zaetar
realized his deed upon seeing the centaurs, who in
turn saw the disgust in their father's eyes and
brutally murdered him. Therazane chastised them for
the deed, for which the centaurs promised to honor Centaur Earthcaller

Core Hounds
Most who venture to Blackrock Mountain would rather face
a squad of orcs than confront a single core hound. These
hulking bulldogs drip of magma as they trail, guarding the
molten core of the black mountain -- as well as the
scorched earth of the lands around.
A core hound's body is covered in thick, sweltering metal
plates, with streaks of fire running the length of its back. Its
mouth is filled with rows of sharp teeth, said to be hotter
than white-hot steel.

Dinosaurs
Dinosaurs are among the oldest reptiles in the world. For
the most part, they split into two groups: savage, territorial
predators, and docile but still undeniably dangerous
herbivores.
These creatures come in many sizes and shapes, with a
wide variety of markings and colorations between them.
They roam far and wide across Azeroth, all the way from
remote mountain valleys to humid jungles and rugged
barren plains.
Raptor
The raptor is an aggressive theropod predator, known for
its great strength and speed. It is fast enough to chase
down near anything out in the open, and prefers to pounce
on its prey in order to trap it. Then, it tears flesh from bone
with its long, curved claws and razor-sharp teeth.
Threshadon
A plesiosaurus is a marine dinosaur whose compact body
is driven by powerful flippers. An aggressive predator, it
attacks any creature that it encounters. Its flexible neck
accounts for a third of its total length, allowing it to twist in
any direction in order to deliver its powerful bite.

Travelers entering the enchanted forests of Quel'Thalas

above the trees. An unusual warmth hangs in the air, as the
majestic beast vanishes out of sight.

Majestic and magnificent creatures, dragonhawks and their

Wild Legends. Few wild dragonhawks still exist. Most of
the beasts found in Quel'Thalas, if not all, are kept by the

witness, as they stay clear of their tamed kin and have
become masters of avoiding detection. These dragonhawks
are formidable hunters and among the deadliest predators
found on the Eastern Kingdoms.

Dust Devil
A dust devil is an elemental of air and earth. Roaring out
across the land, these violent vortexes can spell a real
problem for any nearby settlements, as their chaotic nature
makes them prone to cause great upheaval.
Eternal Nuisance. Dust devils find an unusual enjoy-
ment in their uncanny roaming, destroying whatever they
come across in their path by sending forth incredible gusts
of wind or by tearing it asunder with their hands.
Conjured by Magic. Certain spells and magic items can
conjure forth elementals from the Elemental Plane to the
Material Plane. Elementals, and dust devils in particular,
resent this treatment and the shackles of servitude that
comes with it. A creature that summons an elemental must
assert the force of will to control it.

from the elemental and knocked prone. If the saving
throw is successful, the target only takes half damage
and isn't flung away or knocked prone.
Upheaval (Recharge 4-6). The elemental pushes dust
upwards at a point it can see within 15 feet of it. Each
creature other than the elemental within 5 feet of the
upheaval must succeed on a DC 13 Dexterity saving
throw or be blinded until the end of the elemental's

Dwarves: Dark Iron
Known for their fiery tempers and fierce determination, the
Dark Iron clan of dwarves has a history of strife with the
other dwarven clans, as well as within their own ranks.
Twisted by the influence of Ragnaros the Firelord, they are
a greedy, cruel, and despotic kind.
Most dark iron dwarves have hair as red as fire or black
as coal, trickling with ember flakes, and skin the color of
ash. Though their clothes are drab and dark, their ornate
style and lavish jewelry is a prominent display of status.
Legacy of Thaurissan. In ages past, the Dark Iron clan
cut out their own from the Bronzebeard clan of Ironforge
and the Wildhammer clan of Grim Batol. Sworn to revenge
on his dwarven king, the Sorcerer-Thane Thaurissan and
his wife Modgud led their clansfolk to the southern borders
of Khaz Modan, into the far-reaching stretches of the
Redridge Mountains.
There, founding the city of Thaurissan, the clan let their
hatred seethe and and their forces swell, before they
ultimately led a two-pronged assault on both Ironforge and
Grim Batol. Thaurissan himself was routed by the
Bronzebeards at Ironforge and his wife saw her end to the
Wildhammers at Grim Batol. The Dark Iron clan fled back
to their home in the Redridge Mountains, where they were
ultimately cornered by their dwarven kin -- intent to wipe
Thaurissan's legacy from the continent.
Rise of the Firelord. To avoid a seemingly inevitable
defeat, Thaurissan attempted to summon forth and ancient
power that had been left sleeping beneath the earth. What
he brought forth was the Firelord, Ragnaros, once locked
away by the Titans when the world was still young.
The towering elemental Lord rose forth, unleashed from
his prison, in an apocalyptic rebirth that shattered the
Redridge Mountains. At the center of the devastation, a
volcano rose forth to spew ash and molten rock across the
land. This volcano became known as Blackrock Mountain.
The smoldering crater of destruction to its north became
known as the Searing Gorge, while the lifeless reaches to
its south became the Burning Steppes.
Though Sorcerer-Thane Thaurissan himself was killed
in the eruption, both the legacy of his name and the legacy
of his surviving clansfolk have lived on. Enslaved by the
Ragnaros the Firelord and his elemental hordes.
Shadowforge City. For decades after, the Dark Iron clan
lived in servitude to their elemental master. Not as thralls
in chains, but as devoted warriors under the Firelord's
scalding banner. Following in the footsteps the Sorcerer-
Thane's legacy was the son of him and his wife Modgud;
Dagran Thaurissan, crowned emperor of the Dark Iron
clan and their new home beneath Blackrock Mountain:
Shadowforge City.
DWARVES: DARK IRON

Born in Flames. Like other dwarves, dark iron dwarves
have a strong constitution. Adding to their formidable
stamina is an incredible affinity to fire -- a gift granted to
them by their long servitude to Ragnaros the Firelord.
Though fire can still harm them, the soot-stained skin of
a dark iron dwarf shields them well from the smoldering
fires at the heart of Blackrock Mountain.
Conflicted Kin. The dark iron dwarves have long
nurtured conflict with the other dwarven clans. A failed
coup in Ironforge ignited the War of the Three Hammers,
which in turn became the catalyst that ultimately brought
forth Ragnaros. Worse still, the dwarves remain as split
within their own ranks as they are with the other clans.
Open conflicts between independent groups and
splintered factions is a common occurrence within the
blackened halls beneath the mountain.
Dark Iron Sorcerer
For those among the dark iron dwarves who lack the
strength to train as warriors, a few hold the privilege to
instead pursue the study of magic. Sorcerers within the
Dark Iron clan have unlocked the power to harness their
inner fire, and even yield some control of the mountain's
elemental forces from their master. This power seats them
at the heart of clan.

Faceless Ones
The faceless ones are a monstrous kin, brought forth from
the organic matter that seeped away from the Old Gods in
primordial times, before the Titans brought about the
ordering of Azeroth. Cunning and intelligent, they serve
their eldritch masters with fanatical devotion. Tales of their
unspeakable deeds paint them as unstoppable juggernauts.
Spawn of the Old Gods. The faceless ones are the
creation of the Old Gods, in the most literal sense of the
word. They are shaped from the Old Gods' own flesh and
blood; trickled from their eternal prisons through the core
of the planet, like bile through the gutters.
Some of these aberrations are unique, while others are
so uniform as to be virtually identical. They are all loyal to
the gods that spawned them forth, unwavering in their
devotion to the will of their creators.
Unexpected Allies. These eldritch horrors are powerful,
but not innumerable. What they lack in either is quickly
recouped by corrupting other beings that happen in their
path. Even a faceless one on its own is almost guaranteed
to never truly be alone.
The faceless ones keep a few valuable allies, such as the
Naga, while simultaneously seeding hatred and distrust
even among the most loyal of factions.
Corrupting Presence. Faceless ones carry the stain of
the Old Gods with the, wherever they go, and their
presence alone can change things for the worse. Life is
tainted in their wake, slowly twisted around as friends
become foes and alliances dissolve into bitter hatred.
Whether by instilling paranoia or asserting dominance
directly, the faceless ones will always seek to divide and
conquer.
Return of the Black Empire. The Old Gods once ruled
over Azeroth, in a time long before mortal races saw the
light of day. Locked away by the Titans, they have long ever
since to return to power -- an end to which their faceless
servants are the means by which they act.
Long have they sown the seeds of corruption, turning the
denizens of the world against one another, so that they can
break free and seize control once more.
Zoatroid
Many would see the small, squid-like zoatroid as utterly
inconsequential. Nowhere near as dangerous as the
towering n'raqi. Fools are those who underestimate them,
as these merciless critters hunt to gain complete of their
victims -- which they do by latching onto the face of a
suitable target in order to bore into its mind.
Zoatroids have found a second home among the Naga,
saiding their serpentine allies by infiltrating and corrupting
their enemies. Some zoatroids are only able to seize
control of a creature's body, while others are able to claim
both body and mind as their own.

Ghosts
While most mortal souls eventually find their way to the
Shadowlands, not all who have died manage to find rest.
Some are unwillingly bound to roam the trackless wastes
that exist between the Shadowlands and the physical
world, appearing in the latter as ghostly apparitions as they
search for release from their endless suffering.
Existing Between Worlds. There are many reasons for
why a soul would remain. Curses and deliberate magical
entrapment are both common, though the most prevalent
are souls unwilling to abandon the physical realm -- also
known as the Material Plane -- for the realm of spirits. A
person whose life ended abruptly at the hands of someone
else is very likely to return as a malevolent spectre, seeking
to exact revenge upon those who did them wrong.
Conversely, other spirits may be unwilling to find rest out
of fear for what lies beyond, or for a feeling that their life
never really reached its full potential.
Bitter Resentment. It is not uncommon for ghosts,
especially those forced to dwell in this state for too long, to
grow resentful of the living. Unable to accept their own
death, and envious of those still living, they grow to foster a
seething hatred for warmth, hope, and joy. The presence of
such may even drive them into a murderous frenzy.

Harpies
Taking glee in suffering and death, the sadistic harpy is
always on the hunt for prey. They are vicious predators,
well-known for luring adventures back to their craggy lairs
and a certain death.
A harpy combines the body, arms, and head of a night elf
with the legs and wings of a hunting bird. Its wicked talons
can rip flesh from bone, and its graceful wings lets it soar
silently through the air as it hunts for its next kill. It is said
that in the eyes of every harpy shines the evil dwelling in
their heart.
Noxious Nests. Harpies nest in high-perched, hard-to-
reach places, from which they can terrorize their
surroundings. A flock of harpies left unchecked may leave
destruction in their wake; killing anything they encounter,
leaving only their noxious odor in their wake. This stench, a
mixture of rotting flesh and mottled feathers, makes it easy
to discern the whereabouts of an active nest.
Precious Collectors. These winged humanoids place
great value in shiny baubles, ornate trinkets, rare gems,
and ores, using them to adorn themselves and their nests.
They may be willing to barter and negotiate with travellers
and settlements, if there is a chance for them to claim a
pretty prize from the ordeal. Whatever calm such trade may
instill is never more than a temporary measure, before the
harpies take wing to pillage once again.
Beguiling Creatures. Harpies resembles malformed
night elves, decked in feathers and given wings. Though
they are a repulsive presence, they could be considered
quite beautiful from afar -- and only become more beautiful
as they grow older, with a strikingly vibrant plumage.
They are incapable of producing male children, as their
eggs always hatch females. To this end, their survival relies
on their ability to beguile and entrap males from other
races, keeping them around until the end of their mating
season before killing them off for food.
Harpy Witch
Some harpies are capable of wielding the forces of nature
at their will. These harpy witches are powerful individuals
within their nest, with the most powerful exploiting their
powers to rise to a near regal status. Keeping any
semblance of control in a nest of harpies is a formidable
task, driving those who try to extreme measures.
Variant: Beguiling Harpy

Kobolds
Diminutive, rat-like, and subterranean, kobolds can be
found dwelling in sprawling caverns and abandoned mines
across Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms alike. Even
throughout Northrend one can find their aptly named
cousins; the snobolds. As far back as the first human
settlements in the Eastern Kingdoms, kobolds have been a
persistent, and annoying, presence.
Kobolds average at four feet tall, with coarse skin, sharp
claws, a pronounced snout, and a spindly tail. Educated
guesses have pinned them as a distant offshoot from the
troggs, though this has never been proven.
Skittish Creatures. Adventurers who have seen a
kobold, especially a kobold away from its pack and lair, can
testify for their cowardice. Kobolds are not particularly
intelligent, and many consider them more of a nuisance
than real danger -- at least in smaller numbers.
Massive Flocks. Kobolds are not only known to bear a
resemblance to vermin; they breed like vermin as well.
Wherever one kobold can be found, hundreds more are
likely not too far behind. While kobolds are rarely
threatening smaller numbers, a pack numbering in dozens,
even hundreds, can pose a threat even to seasoned
adventurers if one were to try and evict them.
They have no concept of marriage. Rather, they form a
loose structure of packs and clans based on their lineages,
with young individuals opting to migrate between nests and
warrens in search of mates outside of their own family.
Famously, a kobold can become very protective of its Kobold
keepsakes, and they prefer to keep a distance from other Small humanoid (kobold), chaotic neutral
races in order to keep themselves safe.

Lashers
Lashers are a family of large, slithering flora, known for
their long, appendage-like tendrils and found across most
of Azeroth. Though most lashers are not predatory, they
will defend themselves if threatened.
Sentient Plants. Their existence is the result of nature
magic, seeped down into the ground and left to spread.
There, it has given the plants enough will to uproot
themselves and roam around. For some lashers, this
awakening has been deliberate and fairly harmless. For
others, it has transformed the plants into vile
monstrosities.
Widely Adapted. With their presence found far and
wide, most lashers have found ways to adapt to their
surroundings -- be it lush jungles, arid hills, or even barren
tundras. They plant their seeds wherever there's magic to
sustain them, quickly sprouting into a myriad of tiny
creatures before slowly maturing.
Fast Learners. Though they appear driven by little more
than instinct, fully mature lashers have shown themselves
to be remarkably intelligent. Even capable of laying traps,
forming decorations, and conveying messages with simple
gestures.
Lasher Spitter
A lasher spitter is a large, carnivorous plant. It produces a
strong acid within its stalk, which it then spits out with
impressive accuracy through the large maw situated
between its petals. The acid is strong enough to dissolve
flesh, for easier consumption.
Barbed Orchid
A barbed orchid stands out from other lashers for its large, Lasher
vibrant flower-head, centre of which some describe as Medium plant, unaligned
resembling an owlbeast's beak. Their long tendrils are
covered with barbs, which they strike out at prey and Armor Class 11 (natural armor)

Leper Gnome
Beneath the snow capped mountains of Dun Morogh lay
the halls of Gnomeregan. Once the gnomish capitol, the
city's irradiated halls now only swarm with troggs and
crazed, addled gnomes. These gnomes, permeating with
radiation, have become known as leper gnomes. Their skin
has turned a sickly green, dotted with abscesses that burst
at the smallest stress or strain.
A Necessary Sacrifice. When the gnomish capitol of
Gnomeregan was invaded by troggs, a desperate decision
was made when the High Tinker ordered all radioactive
waste from the city's numerous machines unleashed.

Makrura
A makrura is a large aquatic creature found living in small
colonies along Azeroth's numerous coastlines and deep
oceans. They resemble enormous crayfish, some near six
feet tall, to which some call them lobster men.
Aggressive and Hostile. Makruras within the confines
of their colony are immediately hostile toward intruders,
and will attack anyone who dare approach. With their
massive claws, they pinch and pin their target down, before
subsequently tearing it into tiny pieces.
Wrecked Colonies. With their homes often situated in
turbulent waters or along contested shorelines, it is not
uncommon for a colony to seek seclusion by taking shelter
inside wrecked ships or underwater caverns.
Savory Prey. Makrura meat is a delicacy, tried and
tested, for many races both above and beneath the ocean.
Some towns and villages may try to turn a nearby colony
into a hunting opportunity, though the most prominent
enemy of the makrura are murlocs and nagas.
Makrura Tidecaller
Some Makrura have an innate affinity for water magic, able
to summon its powers at will. These notorious mystics are

Mana Wyrms
Manifesting near pockets of arcane energy, mana wyrms
are, as the name implies, serpent-like creatures that
shimmer with arcane energy.
Their bodies are translucent, hovering above the ground
as though they are swimming through the air. More a
nuisance than a threat, they rarely pose much concern for
seasoned adventurers who happen by them.
Unstable Temperament. The temperament of a mana
wyrm hangs solely on how long it’s been since it last fed.
Though they are considered fairly harmless, an agitated
wyrm can very quickly turn aggressive. If threatened, they
are known to explode in a flash of arcane energy.
Arcane Sense. A mana wyrms can sense the presence
of arcane energy around it, and will gravitate toward its
source. If the source is a creature and the wyrm is hungry,
it may attempt to attack the creature accordingly.

Mechanicals
Mechanical constructs distinguish themselves from organic
creatures mainly for their lack of blood, internal organs,
and natural instincts. Instead, gears whirr and circuits
spark inside these mobile machinations.
Some act only at the behest of whoever holds the remote,
while others automatically carry out their given set of pre-
configured instructions. Some mechanicals distinguish
themselves even further, possessing instructions so
meticulously crafted as to resemble genuine intelligence.
As they are wholly driven by the logic of their
instructions, mechanical constructs do not possess the
ability to give any emotional response: they cannot be
charmed, and they certainly cannot be frightened.
Titanic Legacy. The origin of Azeroth's great mechanical
achievements can be traced back to the titanic Watchers
and the ordering of Azeroth. There, the titanic Keeper
Mimiron oversaw the creation of a race of diminutive
clockwork humanoids -- mechagnomes, forerunners of the
gnomes -- as well as a number of other mechanical
creations that have since stood the test of time.
Gnomish and Goblin Ingenuity. Alongside the legacy of
the gnomes, instinctively carrying on the work of their
titanic creator, another point of technological innovation
across Azeroth has been the artifically enhanced ingenuity
of the goblins. Unlike the gnomes, however, goblin
creations have a tendency to be remarkably destructive.
The two races lead a contested field of engineering, and
have overseen countless mechanical wonders and mishaps
across the years -- including cities, transportation systems,
explosive automatons, and giant death rays.

Murloc
From a distance, the degenerate and fishlike murlocs might
not seem like much of a threat, but the small creatures are
rarely cornered alone. They rarely venture far from their
waters, and never too far from their tribe. Though they
might seem humorous for their ways, behind their blank
expressions hides a murderous mind.
Strange Territories. Murlocs populate coastlines, lake-
shores and swamps, and prefer to keep within their
territory. A murloc tribe on the move is often one looking
for a new place to settle -- and settled they certainly have, in
nearly every corner of Azeroth.
They build their chaotic villages out of mud-and-twig
huts, resembling structures more suited for life underwater
than life along the shore. There's no orderly pattern to
where a murloc would build its home, though the tribe's
oracle and strongest fighters tend to claim the best spots.
Questionable Intelligence. Most would argue that
murlocs are not very intelligent, considering their simple
lives and near-indecipherable language.
Still, they are ferocious hunters and zealous in their faith.
There does not appear to be any singular belief to which
the murlocs keep. Instead, they follow the whim of what
signs they read from the elements, and occasionally the
will of other aquatic entities -- including nagas.
Pack Hunters. Though murlocs are not particularly
brave, they will attempt to hunt foes that they can
outnumber. In doing so, they lead just a few murlocs ahead
to trick their quarry into giving chase, often into murky
waters if they can. There, the brunt of the tribe's hunters lay
in wait, leaping into the fray like a swarm of hungry fish.

Nagas
The naga are former Highborne night elves, transformed
into a race of horrifying sea serpents.
During the Great Sundering, when the Kaldorei city of
Zin-Azshari was destroyed, the Kaldorei Queen Azshara
and many of her Highborne followers fell into the depths of
the Great Sea. Unwilling to face death, Azshara forged a
pact with an Old God, N'Zoth, which saw her and her
followers twisted into serpentine aberrations.
Most naga who remain belong to either of two groups:
those who followed the betrayer, Illidan Stormrage, to find
a new home on the shattered world of Outland; and those
still loyal to Queen Azshara and her plan to reclaim the
surface of Azeroth.
Mystical Culture. Naga culture is a complex, multi-
faceted affair. The distinction between male and female
naga saturates everything from their appearance to their
perceived place in society.
Male naga are large and muscular creatures, some of
them growing to be veritable behemoths with the strength
to tear down walls with their bare hands. Most serve as
soldiers and guardians, while some hold power as cruel
taskmasters or as warlords on the battlefield.
Female naga are more delicate, though ruthlessly
cunning and intellectually superior. They are natural
spellcasters, and hone their skills to perfection in order to
sunder their foes. Naga society is inherently matriarchal,

Azshara's Followers. The naga revere their Queen, the

power and stature, and all they do is by her design.
Factions of naga work tirelessly in their bid for power,
seeking the Queen's blessing. To this end, there are few
limits to how far they will go to earn her favour -- even at
the cost of their own lives.
Naga Myrmidon
The myrmidons, with their navy blue skin and fearsome
tridents, are among the strongest among naga warriors.
They are feared by all who dwell near the sea; though most
prominently by the makrura.
They are often the most fanatical in their loyalty to the
Queen. So much so that some would never take to their
orders with anything other than utmost obedience.
Naga Sea Witch
"Sea witch" is the informal term for a naga priestess. Many
have witnessed the prodigious storm that mark their
presence, but few have actually seen the witch herself and
since lived to tell the tale.
They are potent spellcasters, able to use terrifying frost
and lightning spells against their foes, as well as their
Highborne legacy of the arcane for personal protection.

Ogres
Ogres are large, brutish humanoids of immense strength.
Though native to the crumbling world of Draenor, many
ogres have since settled as independent clans on Azeroth.
The average adult ogre stands between 9 and 10 feet tall,
weighing in at almost a thousand pounds.
As far as the ogre is concerned, size is paramount. They
eschew any attempt to cover themselves up, keeping their
clothing simple, while brandishing fearsome warpaints.
Distant Settlements. Following the Horde's second
failure to invade Azeroth, the ogre clans that had come with
them from Draenor quickly dispersed.
Each clean headed in their own direction. Some sought
to return back home, while most were content to stake a
claim in this new world. Since then, ogres have settled
across the world; from the hills of Arathi and the Cape of
Stranglethorn, to the lush reaches of Feralas.
Clan Culture. Within ogre clans, it is the strongest that
stand in highest regard. An immense show of force is the
fastest way to rise, though also the fastest way to fall
at the hands of any enemies made along the way.
Still, for as highly as the ogres regard their
strength, the powerful and keen-minded ogre
magi are often the real presence of power
within their clan. Whether acting as the right
hand of an ogre lord, or as the clan leader
directly, they are the ones pulling the strings.
Brutish Combatants. For an ogre, the best
solution is often the simplest one. When engaged
in a fight, it is not uncommon for the ogre to risk
even deadly harm if thinks it can push through and
come out on top by sheer virtue of strength.

Quilboar Names and Languages
The quilboar language is a rough, sharp-spoken tongue that
relies on a mixture of guttural sounds and sharp squeals.
There is little room for eloquence in their vocabulary,
though it is by no means primitive.
Their names follow a mixture of native descriptions and
short words, and their names lead descriptive, evocative
titles -- for which rough translations in other languages
often become the most widely known.

Ravagers
Native to the world of Draenor, these quadrupedal beings
roam across their surrounding land in search of food to fill
their insatiable appetite, ready to hound down and tear
apart any creature made of flesh.
Ravagers resemble giant insectiods, equipped with
ragged teeth and a voracious lust for meat. Their bodies
are covered in hard chitin, which combined with their
impressive speed make them amicable fighters.
Ferocious Carnivores. Being such fierce predators,
ravagers hunt together in swarms. They hide behind rocks
and within crevices, waiting for their quarry to come within
reach. Then, as soon as the moment comes, lunge out from
hiding and rush into the fray with overwhelming force.
Swarm Mentality. Perhaps not too surprising, given
their insect-like appearance, are the ever-growing ravager
colonies. Though their hive mind is not as intrinsically
linked as some others, it still binds the colony together as a
large, fiercely protective swarm.
Migrated Creatures. Ravagers are native to the world of
Draenor, with no true equal on Azeroth -- save for one small
colony, locked away on the Exodar with the fleeing Draenei.
The ship's subsequent crash off the northern coast of
Ravager Kalimdor saw this particular group of ravagers released
into the wild. Most were stopped in their tracks, though
some may yet have escaped to flee deeper into the thickets,
or across the waters to the mainland.

Sabercats
Sabercats are cunning felines, native to the northern
reaches of Kalimdor. These magnificent beasts have
been the companions of many adventurers -- and the
demise of many more. They are intelligent creatures;
very loyal when properly domesticated, while still
remaining aggressive and territorial in the wilds.
Stalkers of Azeroth. Favoured as they are among
travellers, sabercats have come to live far and wide across
Azeroth. Still, the majority of their kind keep to Kalimdor,
where they populate dense forests and icy wastes alike.
They are quick to adapt to their given habitat, sprouting
pelts able to blend their surroundings.
Many species of sabercats exist, each one distinct and
differing remarkably in how it would approach outsiders.
The most common types of sabercats are the dreadsabers,
the frostsabers, and the nightsabers.
Supreme Predators. Sabercats are deadly predators,
representing the pinnacle of a stalking hunter. They are
able to prowl up on their prey with ease, averting the gaze
of even the most perceptive and watchful.
They are also pack animals, rarely ever hunting alone.
Even when one does spot a prowling sabercat, it is likely
that another is about to pounce from behind.
Fierce Companion. Whether raised from a cub or
tamed in the wild, the beasts become loyal to a fault once Young Sabercat

mounts in their armies.

Satyrs
An ancient curse borne by a highborne sorcerer brought
forth the first satyr -- and with it, others would soon follow.
These demonic beings were once night elves of the
Kaldorei Empire, but little of that heritage remains in their
twisted forms. Now there is only anger and hatred.
Cursed Affliction. During the War of the Ancients, the
Highborne sorcerer Xavius was tasked with opening a
portal that would connect Azeroth to the Twisting Nether.
His failture to do so brought upon him the wrath of
Sargeras, who tore him asunder and tortured his spirit.
As pain and anguish shattered Xavius' mind, the Lord of
the Burning Legion still saw use in the sorcerer; and set to
forge a new, demonic form for his servant.
In the form of a satyr, Xavius was sent back to Azeroth to
spread his curse through the Kaldorei Empire. Like
himself, all who he affected were turned to misshapen
beasts, capable of pasing their curse onto others in turn.
Scores of night elves, and some other races as well, fell to
Xavius' dark influence.
Created, Not Born. Although both male and female
satyrs exist, they have never been able to reproduce. All
satyrs in existence were formed from their affliction, some
thousands of years old. Though the ages have made them
rare, they still pose an imminent threat to any unfortunate
enough to encounter them.
Burning Hatred. Satyrs are creatures of malice; their
veins run a smoldering red as the anguish visited on Xavius
is bestowed upon them in turn. They find an indescribable
glee in visiting their pain upon others, beast or humanoid --
though none as much as their old elven kin.

The Plague of Undeath. In service to the Burning
Legion, the Lich King Ner'zhul would become the lone,
governing mind of an army of the damned.
His first claim was to the frozen reaches of Northrend,
after a long and hard-won war against the nerubians and
their underground kingdom of Azjol-Nerub. His second was
in unleashing the gruesome Plague of Undeath upon the
human kingdom of Lordaeron.
The ambitious plan laid forth by the demon lord
Kil'jaeden, to see Azeroth heel, required a new foothold
through which the Legion could enter. Just as it had been
the last time, the writings of the Guardian Medivh, locked
away in the city of Dalaran, would be the key.
The Lich King reached far and wide for those with an
aptitude for necromancy. Chief among them stood the
archmage Kel'Thuzad; around whom the Cult of the
Damned formed. It was to be the piece with which the Lich
King's undead plague would spread.
Crown Prince Menethil. Although the Lich King and the
Scourge had been given form to prelude the Burning
Legion, Ner'zhul's true ambition was his own salvation: to
break free from the shackles of his demonic masters.
To this end, the Lich King sought a champion to carry out
his will. He had already envisioned the crown piece of
Lordaeron, Arthas Menethil, supplanting him in his rule of
the damned. The prince was a capable warrior; a paladin of
the Silver Hand, seasoned from numerous skirmishes with
errant orc clans across the human kingdoms.
This new undead threat, however, was not one Arthas
could bring to an end. It drove the prince to desperation; to
the purging of his own homeland; to a vengeful crusade
across Northrend; and ultimately to his doom.
The Runeblade. Buried away in a frozen vault, Arthas
drew forth an ancient runeblade -- Frostmourne. He had
been told the blade would be the means to his long-sought
ends, and by its powers he carved his way through the
undead hordes with a might which none around him had
seen before.
However, the blade would ultimately cost the crown
prince his soul. Through it, the Lich King exerted his will
upon Arthas, binding him as a champion of the Scourge.
The Fall of Lordaeron. Upon his return to Lordaeron,
Arthas ultimately drove his kingdom to ruin. Thereafter, the
kingdoms of Quel'thalas and Dalaran fell just the same.
From their ashes, with the aid of Kel'thuzad -- reborn a Lich
-- Arthas saw the Burning Legion summoned forth.
Though the invasion of the Legion was ultimately a
failure, and the lands of Dalaran and Quel'thalas reclaimed,
Lordaeron was forever enveloped in undeath. The final
piece of the Lich King's plan, with which the Scourge
would truly take foot, was to bring Arthas to his side.
The Frozen Throne. And so, leaving Lordaeron behind
for what would later become the Forsaken, Arthas took
heed of his master's request and set sail back to Northrend.
There, atop the peak of its glacial wastes, the prince found
the frozen tomb in which Ner'zhul's spirit had been bound.
With his runeblade held aloft, Arthas shattered the ice;
freeing the Helm of Domination to which the old shaman
had been bound. As he placed the helm on his head, their
spirit fused together as one. Bound to their trackless

Shredder
Shredders are large mechanical constructs: a marvel of
goblin ingenuity, created to truly maximize profits from
mass deforestation. The sturdy machines are equipped
with a clamping claw and a deadly sawblade, making them
just as efficient lumberjacks as effective combatants when
outraged woodland denizens come for revenge.
Shredders are core to numerous goblin enterprises,
across Azeroth. They are manual machines, requiring
either an operator or an operator's instructions.
Enemies of the Forest. The brutally efficient deforest-
ations conducted by shredders have garnered them a deep-
seeded hatred among those who dwell in the wilds. Many
of whom work tirelessly to push back and sabotage the
constructs, if only to save their home.
War Constructs. Shredders have on occasion become
frontline fighters in times of war. If a goblin on its lonesome
won't pose much of a threat, a ruthless goblin operating a
spinning buzzer-blade certainly will.

Silithids
Silithids are frightful insectoids, living in large colonies

individual strength is questionable at best, a colony's
collective hive-mind can send signals and pain surging
through the hive to alert its members of intruders.
They range dramatically in size. Beginning their life as
small insignificant larva, they grow into the swarms of
monstrosities that make up their flock. Whatever their size
may be, they all resemble massive insects -- if those insects

Skeletons
Skeletons arise when animated by dark magic. Sometimes,
they come at the behest of necromancers, who call them
from their stony tombs and ancient battlegrounds.
Other times, they rise of their own accord -- drawn from
their muddy graves in fields saturated with death.
Animated Dead. Whatever sinister force awakened the
skeleton, it infuses its bones with a dark vitality, adhering
joint to joint and reassembling limbs. With its newfound
energy, the skeleton is able to move and think in a fairly
rudimentary fashion, like a foul imitation of what it once
was like. Some forms of resurrection can restore a
skeleton's body and soul, fully returning it to life.
While most animated remains are humanoid, skeletal
undead can be made from the bones of other creatures.
Sometimes even from a combination thereof; giving rise to
a host of unique and terrifying forms.
Obedient Servants. Skeletons who have been raised by
a spell are bound to their creator. They follow their orders
to the letter, regardless of the consequences, though often
with very literal interpretation. For this, most skeletons
adapt poorly to changing circumstances.
A skeleton can fight with weapons and wear armor, even
load and fire catapults and trebuchets. Some are even
raised with knowledge of their past life, making formidable
warriors or mages able to perform complex incantations.
Most of them do lack the intelligence they possessed in
life, though they are not entirely mindless. Rather than
breaking its limbs trying to batter down a door, a skeleton
has enough of a mind to open the door normally -- and even
look for other ways through, should it be locked.
Undead Nature. A skeleton doesn't require air, food,
drink, or sleep.

Primitive and fierce. Troggs are best known for their
stature, ferocity, and smell -- said to resemble a mixture of
mold, mange, and sour monkey. Living together in tight-knit
tribes and clans, their main driving force is an imposing
psyche and impressive force of will, though they are not
known to be intelligent beyond being sentient. Less so than
even an ogre would be considered. They follow the
leadership of whoever can prove themselves the biggest
and strongest, with aspiring trogg chieftains often going to
great lengths to prove their viciousness. Troggs are known
to eat whatever they can get their hands on; including
rocks, or even occasionally other troggs.
Underground creatures. With most of their existence
spent underground, troggs are not fond of sunlight. Wher-
ever troggs dwell, a deep network of intertwining tunnels is

Trogg Names and Languages
Troggs do not possess any discernible language of their
own, and tend to resort to violence rather than negotiation
when faced with a threat. Still, those who do communicate
do so in a mixture of grunts and what Common they know.
Their names draw from the same roots as the dwarven
language, especially with its hard consonants and guttural
sounds. Some troggs, usually tribe leaders, choose names
in Common to best describe themselves. It is unclear
whether these names are direct translations, or deliberate
choices to intimidate other races.
Trogg tribes are usually in Common, and often draw
from their way of being or directly from whichever place
they claim as their home.

Trolls
Trolls have made their mark upon the world over milennia,
as ancient divides among their kin have brought forth a
wide foray of tribes. Today, trolls can be found far and wide
across Azeroth, each tribe unuque in its own appearance,
customs, and way of life.
Rulers of the Ancient World. When the world was still
one, before the Great Sundering, the troll race flourished
under the rule of the powerful Zandalari empire; able to
match even the mighty Mogu dynasti.
The Zandalari relied heavily on its intricate caste system,
under which each troll had its given place in life. As time
went on, many of these castes grew into a people of their
own, parting from the Zandalari to cut their own path in
life. From this, two other empires grew forth to rival the
Zandalari -- the Amani and the Gurubashi.
Other, smaller tribes tried to escape conflict by settling
farther away, though many were made to heel by the three
empires. Although animosity between the three was great,
Azeroth had a host of other threats that would often draw a
common enemy between them.
Progenitors of the Elves. Eventually, a colony of dark
trolls split free from the Amani empire, ventured forth
discover the heart of the continent -- and with it, the cosmic
Well of Eternity. By the influence of the well, they were
transformed into the Kaldorei, night elves.
At the base of the well, they forged for themselves a new
empire. One with which they systematically dismantled the
trolls around them, leaving once great empires in ruin.
Ultimately, however, the elves' reckless use of magic
lured the demonic Burning Legion to the world. With it, the
War of the Ancients began, by the end of which the Well of
Eternity imploded in a shockwave that shattered the land
and split the continents as they have been ever since.
Great chunks of the remaining Amani and Gurubashi
empires were lost, but plenty of land remained for the trolls
to rebuild their cities and reclaim their territories.
Racial Differences. The troll race is considered one of
the most numerous, yet thoroughly divided. As each tribe
has split its own course and claimed its own land, a troll's
appearance can alone tell who they are.
Tribal Devotion. Trolls have always been a tribal race,
isolating themselves and starting anew. A troll’s tribe is its
family, and many will go to extreme lengths to protect it as
such. They owe loyalty to no-one but their own.
Outside Hostility. Trolls settle in remote and isolated
areas, places where they can stake their claim and turn the
land into their own. The ferocity with which they defend
their borders is legendar,y to say the least, as they will
retaliate swiftly and with force if threatened.
Loa's Guidance. Loa is the name trolls have given their
animalistic spirit gods. Countless Loa exist, many of them
weak and shapeless beings that only trolls can sense, while
others take the form of majestic animals. Most troll tribes
and empires have their own Loas, manifested as though
given shape by the trolls in their worship.
Regeneration. Smashing a troll's bones and slashing
through its rubbery hide will only serve to anger it, as a
troll's wounds close at an extraordinary speed. Only
through acid or fire can one arrest their regeneration.
The ability for trolls to regenerate themselves is nothing
short of legendary. It can only restore so much, however; as
once a troll heart pumps its last, there is no natural way for
T it to recover.

Troll Berserker
To survive a tribe, one must be powerful. For a troll, being
powerful means being stronger than one's enemy.
Berserkers are the embodiment of this; with their brutish
strength, they hurl their weapons at their targets as they
cry for blood. Fearless, they hurl themselves into the fray to
attack with reckless abandon.
Troll Headhunter
Headhunters are the trackers and hunters of a tribe, using
a combination of spear and bolas to bring down their prey.
They make formidable fighters, keen to take trophies
from their fallen opponent to display as adornments. These
trophies are usually severed fingers or ears, as well as the
odd trinket that their quarry might have worn. Troll Berserker

Wretched
Poor souls who failed to control their addiction to magic,
and thus gorged on arcane power to the point of deformity
— that is the story of the wretched.
These frail-bodied denizens of Quel'thalas are recogni-
sable for their gaunt, emaciated appearance, pale skin, and
claw-like hands. Strange crystalling growths have spurred
across their skin, giving them an eerie glow in darkness.
They are a danger both to themselves and to others, with
their violent and unpredictable nature.
Insane Elves. The wretched are obsessed with magic,
willing to go to extreme lengths for any scrap of magic that
they can drain; whether from enchanted items, arcane
fonts, or even errant spellcasters. Their fixation goes to the
brink of insanity, and often far beyond it.
Attempting to bargain with wretched for safe passage
through their domain is rarely a peaceful affair, as their
unpredictable nature makes them all too easy to anger.
Pest of Quel'thalas. Being denizens of Quel'thalas
themselves, the wretched elves rarely leave the confines of
their magical kingdom. Instead, they have opted to scatter
through the forest, taking up residence in ruins still left
behind by the undead Scourge. There, they huddle together
in small packs, letting their addiction take its toll.
For the most part, in the eyes of Silvermoon, the
wretched are little more than a pest upon the land. Their
violent nature have left few wretched able to gather a force
large enough to spur any proper conflicts, though they
would pose a true threat to their elven kin should such a
leader arise.
Wretched Names

Medium humanoid (blood elf), chaotic neutral kin, the wretches are still blood elves. As such, they still

Hit Points 18 (4d8) Their overindulgence have lead many wretched into

remnants of their old identity.

Worgen: Feral
The curse of the worgen can transform even the most
civilized person into a ravenous, primal beast. Filled with
rage, it gradually loses all vestiges of its former life, as it
slowly turns into a mindless hunter. These feral beings
bear a closer semblence to monstrous wolves than to
intelligent humanoids. However, upon a closer inspection,
their eyes betray the mind still trapped within.
Ancient Curse. The worgen curse began with a sect of
night elves, who tried to tame the powers of the ancient
Godrinn. Instead, they were transformed into feral beasts,
and subsequently locked away in the Emerald Dream. They
were alter brought forth by the Archmage Arugal -- who
himself sought a weapon against the Scourge.
Though the worgen were successful in keeping the
damned at bay, they did not differ between the living and
dead; leaving the curse to quickly seep through Gilneas.
Pack Animals. Feral worgens have but a shred of
humanity left, locked away in a beast that cannot be
reasoned or communicated with. Like wolves, they keep to
forested areas and gather in large packs, headed by their
strongest -- the alpha.
Humanoid Cubs. Worgens do not give birth to lupine
humanoids, but rather to a humanoid of their original race.
Although the mother might care for its child, this is often
not shared by the rest of its pack.
Resistance to Undeath. The curse of the worgen draws Feral Worgen
its power from the Emerald Dream, and the light of the Medium humanoid (worgen), chaotic evil
goddess Elune. For this, raising a worgen into undeath is
by far more difficult than it is with most other humanoids. Armor Class 12 (natural armor)

Yeti
Yetis -- also known as Wendigos -- are hulking monstrosities
that roam remote forests and snowy mountains. They
exhibit a territorial ferocity rarely seen in other creatures,
and make for terrifying and powerful foes. Especially with
how they are willing to hunt any and all that would happen
to wander too close to their den.
Territorial Beings. The territorial nature of a yeti is
common knowledge for any settlement near its hunting
ground. When venturing outside, one must be sure to keep
clear of any sign of the creature's trail; easily noticeable for
the massive, clawed depressions and bloody carnage it
leaves behind in the snow.
Yetis possess a desire for blood that cannot be
quenched. They often continue to hunt even when they
are not hungry, dragging any un-eaten scraps back to
their lair as a snack for later. As such, a yeti found
roaming is seldom one left without purpose: it is almost
guaranteed to be out looking for easy prey.
Horrific Dens. Yetis make their dens in caverns and
under isolated overhangs, usually recognized by an
entrance strewn across with bones and half-eaten corpses.
The cold climate of their habitat keeps the smell at bay,
though the sight is as unmistakable as it is terrifying.
This can, however, mean untold riches for strong-hearted
adventurers. If anything manages to survive the yeti's
frenzy, it is left strewn under the snow across its den -- like
a treasure for any who would dare to collect it.
Solitary Hunters. It is not a lack of intelligence, but an
assertion of pride and dominance that drives the yeti to
wander alone. If they first do decide to join together,
whether to survive or simply for sport, they will first fight
tooth and claw to establish a leader.
Yeti Charge. If the yeti moves at least 30 feet straight

toward a target and then hits it with a horn attack on

Abominable Yeti
Abominable yetis are menacing creatures, towering above
their kin with the posture of enormous apes. They make
their dens high in the mountains, in places so remote that
no one would dare to venture close. They care little for
keeping a large perimeter and hunt only to survive. They
are, however, far more aggressive in their hunt; willing to
venture much farther from their den for food.
The greatest evidence of their existence are their primal
roars; as loud as they are terrifying, echoing through the
mountains. Little else is known of the abominable yeti, as
few have encountered one and since lived to tell their tale.

Thanks for
Reading
This has been a project made by a group of
people who have loved the Warcraft franchise
for many years at this point, and wanted to
bring it back to Dungeons and Dragons for
everyone to enjoy.
This has been a blast for us to make, and we

thoroughly enjoy making it and improving
upon it. We hope this will bring joy to many
D&D tables around the world. Best of luck to
all the parties of humans and orcs, try not to
chop each other up too much <3
Did you know this was all made using

GmBinder? I can't stretch enough how
fantastic a tool it is for creating homebrew
material for 5th edition D&D.
