INTRODUCTION
This books contains nearly sixty monster
descriptions and stat blocks for the Five Moons
RPG—foes, foils, and potential allies of wary and
warlike adventurers!
Outside of the discussion of the actual rules of
a monster, here are three simple suggestions for
keeping things interesting.
One, it’s easy to make a leader or “boss”
version of a monster by using the stats of a similar
creature with a higher Challenge Rating (and
ignore anything that doesn’t make sense for the
creature). For example, if you have a group of
orcs (CR 1) and you want them led by a tough
orc boss, use the stats of an arachnith (CR 2) or
lizardfolk (CR 3); the arachnith-orc’s poison might
be a poisoned weapon and its webs might be a net
or a weird prayer; the lizardfolk-orc’s extra attacks
might be fighting with two weapons (the GM can
ignore its water breathing if it’s not relevant).
Two, some monsters presented here,
particularly humanoids like kobolds and orcs,
include a variant of that sort of creature, like a
bugbear assassin or a kobold sorcerer. This variant
is the same Challenge Rating (CR) as the regular
version of that creature. This allows GM to create
more interesting encounters.
Three, adding a few cronks, spells, or stunts to
a monster doesn’t make it much more powerful.
It makes them more versatile than the regular
version of the monster, but not really more powerful
because they’re still limited by how many boosts
they have. Adding just one or two abiiities that are
useful outside of combat can easily turn a simple
monster into a complex foe or a long-term villain.

 READING MONSTER ENTRIES
Here’s what the lines in a monster stat block mean. for what the monster can do when it’s not its turn,

Usually, the monster can also use abilities from Tactics: Suggested tactics for using the

that doesn’t make sense. For example, a giant
sandworm could use pinpoint sense on its turn
because it is actively looking for a hidden enemy,
but it couldn’t use reactive attack because that
ability only can be used when an enemy attacks it
(which won’t happen on the monster’s turn).
Boosts: Anything the monster can use a boost
on during its turn. If a feat is listed here that isn’t
listed under Abilities, the monster only can use the
feat (normal or boosted) by spending a boost.
Melee: The monster’s melee attack routine,
listing attack type (“bite”), attack bonus (“+4”), and
the damage “1d8+4”).
Some monsters can attack more than once
on its turn; roll separately for each attack (for
example, “2 claws” means two separate claw
attacks). When a monster spends 3 AP to attack, it
can make some or all of these attacks (for example,
it doesn’t spend 3 AP for each claw attack).
Some creatures have more than one
attack routine, such as the choice of using two
shortswords or two claws plus a bite.
Ranged: The monster’s ranged attack routine.
Speed: The monster’s speed (how far it can
move by spending 1 Action Point). Some creatures
have speeds listed for other types of movement
such as climbing, flying, or swimming.
