Hello everybody and thanks for checking out my podcast, Obscure Dragons and Dungeons or Odd for short. A podcast dedicated to exploring some obscure and forgotten creatures from previous editions of Dungeons and Dragons that aren't in 5e and even some that I don't see a lot about from 5th edition. I will be doing brief overviews of several different monsters per episode and deeper dives on specific creatures with guests to help get a perspective of someone who maybe does not know about them. I do hope you all enjoy it as I am having a ton of fun making it and be sure to tell your friends too!

    Hail adventurers. This episode is a little shorter than you may be used to. That is because there is only 1 creature in it and I just didn't have time to find more that fit the theme. Next episode in the Rediscovering line will have 2 creatures.
