The Monstrous Menagerie provides nearly 600 monsters, variants, monster templates, and hordes for your Level Up: Advanced 5th Edition game. Populate your game world with classic monsters ranging from the lowly stirge to the terrifying tarrasque, along with new horrors like the khalkos and the phase monster. Challenge even the mightiest adventurers with elite monsters like great wyrm dragons and the Medusa Queen. Use simple templates to create new monsters like zombie sea serpents and merfolk alchemists. Overwhelm opposition with stat blocks representing hordes of guards, skeletons, or demons.

Along with each monster’s game statistics, you’ll find monster behavior and adventure hooks, treasure, monster names, and more. The Monstrous Menagerie includes guidelines for designing challenging encounters and even building new monsters from scratch.

Compatibility

This module is backwards compatible with the Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition (2024) ruleset. For full functionality and all features, we recommend using the Level Up: Advanced 5th Edition ruleset.

Level Up: Advanced 5th Edition is a deeper, more flexible version of the 5E ruleset which you know and love. If you love 5E but would like a little more depth to the ruleset, Level Up is the game for you! Developed by a diverse team of 5th Edition experts, and a two-year public playtest of thousands of people, this is the ultimate expression of the 5E ruleset.
