INTRODUCTION ON LEGENDARY MONSTERS
The legendary monsters are placeholders, for now. For
Every campaign can use more adversaries!
every five copies of the PDF that sells, we will add a
legendary monster (up to the list in the PDF).
We’ve scoured a lot of old Eberron content to bring you
5e versions of monsters and NPCs for your campaign. The

Also, since we already have one monster that can kind of

ON THE MONSTERS AND NPCS


teleport, and there is a mythic spider monster in the
Theros book…..I’m changing Pa Nuk from a spider to a

HEREIN catoblepas. I hope you enjoy this change.

In addition to this supplement, you can find our (needs


editing, we admit it…. it’s coming) Unusual Living Spells
PDF on DMsGuild. It has dozens of living spells. All the
living spells in this book are different from those, however.

Some of the creatures won’t necessarily fit your vision


of Eberron, and that’s ok. You might want to change the
description, but still use the statblocks. It’s the easiest way
to make a new monster. Find a picture of what is in your
head on the internet, change the description to that, but
use the statblocks from this (or any other) book. If the
Daelkyr can re-skin, so can you……..

The creatures found here often have abilities not found


in 5e. These are conversions of abilities from earlier
versions of the game. If that’s a problem, substitute an
appropriate ability for the ability you don’t like.

Lastly, some of the creatures here are MUCH LESS


powerful than their earlier versions. The Chaos Fleet
comes to mind. I’d like these monsters to be more
accessible than they might otherwise be….

ON ERRORS AND ISSUES


You are likely reading the second version of this
document, so if you find things that need fixing, let us
know. It’s not always easy to eyeball dozens of statblocks,
and mistakes will likely happen. Apologies in advance for
that.

pirates of the area. At times, they seem to want to increase
the size of the fleet, by infecting more ships and crews. At
other times, they let ships go without attacking them. Medium elemental humanoid, chaotic evil

LAIR ACTIONS
Silverclaws can use its lair action any time. It may or may
not have a lair…..no one knows for sure.

On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the girallon


takes a lair action to cause one of the following magical
effects:
• If the girallon has taken piercing or slashing
damage in the last minute, plants and fungi grow
where its blood has fallen. The terrain within 20
feet of the girallon is difficult terrain for 2 rounds.
• A cloud of birds fills a 20-foot-radius sphere
centered on a point the girallon chooses within
120 feet of it. The cloud spreads around corners
and remains until Silverclaws dismisses it as an
action, uses this lair action again, or dies. The
cloud is lightly obscured. Any creature in the
cloud when it appears must make a DC 15
Constitution saving throw, taking 10 (3d6)
piercing damage on a failed save, or half as much
damage on a successful one. A creature that ends
its turn in the cloud takes 10 (3d6) piercing
damage. Ranged attacks that attempt to go
through the cloud have a 50% chance of hitting a
bird instead of their intended target.
• Silverclaws stomps its feet causing the land to
shake within 20 feet of her. Each creature in the
effected area must make a DC 16 Dexterity save,
falling prone on a failure.

REGIONAL EFFECTS
The region near Old Silverclaws is thriving with “natural”
life of all kinds.

• The land within 6 miles of Silverclaws has twice


as many animals as normal. Creatures have
advantage on Wisdom (Survival) checks made to
forage for food or shelter.
• Water that has been within 2 miles of the girallon
in the last 48 hours is pure and refreshing. Those
that drink it are cured of all diseases and poisons.
An entire tribe of drow make decent money by
collecting this water and selling it.
• Lycanthropes within 2 miles of Silverclaws have
control over their condition and are not more
prone to violence than they were before they were
infected. A small tribe of werewolves does its best
to stay near the girallon to protect themselves
and others from violence. They can’t always keep
up, and the undedicated believe the girallon
creates werewolves in its wake.

XENOSTELID
This horrid creature stands over 20 feet tall. Its
appearance combines features of a centipede’s head and
body held erect with twitching appendages, four massive
scorpion claws, and eight spidery legs. Several pairs of eyes
circle its head, just above pairs of huge mandibles.

The daelkyr only managed to create a handful of these


monsters near the end of the war. They have been hunted
to near extinction. They are quite intelligent and love
tearing creatures in half. They are also fond of destroying
buildings (when they deem it safe enough to approach
them). Despite being left behind by their masters and
creators when the war ended, they still worship them as
gods. Most xenostelids lead a Cult of the Dragon Below,
and are rarely found alone.

XORBEAST
Even the daelkry find a xorbeast to be repulsive. You can
see the ripples of fat, when you aren’t distracted by the
glistening, sickly, rainbow of colors on its oddly shaped
body. It stands on four appendages that end in sucker-
tipped stumps.
Two more appendages grow from its back, each ending
in a sphincter-like mouth. It doesn’t really have a face,
more of a mouth surrounded by goo. It drips some kind of
jelly substance; indeed, you now notice its entire body is
gelatinous.
Xorbeasts live to engulf creatures and take them to their
daelkyr masters. This can take a very, very, long time if the
xorbeast is not near a way into a demiplane.
