Beholders are described in the Monster Manual as “one glance is enough to assess its foul and otherworldly nature. Aggressive, hateful, and greedy, these aberrations dismiss all other creatures as lesser beings, toying with them or destroying them as they choose." We are joined by Zac Naoum.

I am the other co-founder of Dead Ghost productions, and I do everything else. BOTH Welcome to Kill Every Monster! DYLAN Each episode we are joined by a guest for a deep-dive into a classic D&D monster. The first part is a discussion, and the second is a one-shot Actual Play where our guest takes on the role of the monster. Each episode of Kill Every Monster is a contained story, so you never have to worry about being caught up or listening out of order. ARAM For the Qilin episode we were joined by Game Master and Narrative Designer, Connie Chang, who reminded us that monsters can be beautiful. [ Qilin Discussion Clip ] DYLAN For the actual play, Connie's beast of omen and prophecy confronted the arrogance of the average D&D player character. [ Qilin AP Clip ] DYLAN We teamed up with the crew of Split the Party for our Pixie episode, as Aram tried making his homebrew ideas official canon. [ Pixie Discussion Clip ] ARAM Matt was then joined by George and Benji as they became members of P.E.A.R.L., the Pixie Extraction And Recovery Legion, tasked with rescuing their fellow fey held captive by nefarious wizards. [ Pixie AP Clip ] ARAM There is a lot to love in our episode about teleporting puppers, but Dylan couldn't let go of one thing he hated: flumphs. [ Blink Dog AP Clip ] DYLAN Aram continued to annoy me by abusing the spell Druidcraft in increasingly absurd ways. [ Blink Dog AP Clip ] ARAM Model and cosplayer Harli Kane took on one of the most infamous D&D monsters: the Tarrasque. DYLAN Despite our heroes' best efforts, they learned that not every adventure is a successful one.

Hey people, this is Aram. I wanted to check in and update our listeners about what has been going on behind the scenes of Kill Every Monster. We are currently on our mid-season break and will be back in September with TTRPG designer Connie Chang and the chimerical Chinese creation known as a Qilin. Patreon supporters will get an early preview of the Qilin episode next week. Speaking of our amazing supporters, we were recently invited to be part of the Realm network and unfortunately part of that transition meant we had to cancel our Apple Podcasts Subscribers. If you listen to the show on Apple Podcasts, you will no longer have access to ad-free episodes and bonus content. If we cancel your subscription, you will get an automatic refund from Apple. We are sorry for the hassle and very thankful for your support. We tried to find a way around this, but in the end there was no way to transfer the subscriptions over to Realm. The good news is that we are gathering bonus content from all of our shows under one Patreon: Dead Ghost Productions. Current subscribers to Kill Every Monster do not have to do anything; you'll just notice that the name of our Patreon has changed from Kill Every Monster to Dead Ghost productions. You'll get all of the content we currently post, along with early, ad-free episodes from Of Now And Then and our upcoming DIE RPG campaign, “Replay.” Dylan and I are excited and a tad overwhelmed by all of these changes, and we thank you for your continued support in making our stories possible.

Oozes are described in the Monster Manual as creatures that “thrive in the dark, shunning areas of bright light and extreme temperatures. They flow through the damp underground, feeding on any creature or object that can be dissolved, slinking along the ground, dripping from walls and ceilings, spreading across the edges of underground pools, and squeezing through cracks. The first warning an adventurer receives of an ooze's presence is often the searing pain of its acidic touch.”Get early and bonus ad-free episodes, Dylan's DM notes, print-ready maps of our encounters, and more at patreon.com/killeverymonsterIn this episode, we are joined by WallE.WallE is a personality in the TTRPG scene featured on many different streams and shows.

We talk about why the movie was poorly received, and why we all need to make amends with Meghan Fox. But mostly, it's about how much of a fun romp this movie actually was.

The Monster Manual states that “Succubi and Incubi inhabit all of the Lower Planes, and the lascivious dark-winged fiends can be found in service to devils, demons, night hags, rakshasas, and yugoloths. Asmodeus, ruler of the Nine Hells, uses these fiends to tempt mortals to perform evil acts. The demon lord Graz'zt keeps succubi and incubi as advisers and consorts.Though legend speaks of them separately, any succubus can become an incubus, and vice versa. Most of these fiends do have a preference for one form or the other. Mortals only rarely see a succubus or incubus in its true form, however, for the fiend typically begins its corruption in veiled, insidious ways.”Listen to our Session 0 safety brief for the Incubus encounterWe are joined by Mike.Mike—whose pronouns are he/they—is a video producer and streamer from the Pacific Northwest.

Kill Every Monster is a 5th Edition Dungeons and Dragons podcast. Each episode we are joined by a guest to discuss the lore, mechanics, and story potential of classic D&D creatures. We debate tactics for maximizing these creatures in your game, and we ask the ever-important question: are they really a monster?The Monster Manual describes the banshee as “the undead remnants of elves who, blessed with great beauty, failed to use their gift to bring joy to the world. Instead, they used their beauty to corrupt and control others. Elves afflicted by the banshee's curse experience know no gladness, feeling only distress in the presence of the living. As the curse takes its toll, their minds and bodies decay until death completes their transformation into undead monsters.”Lorekeeper Notes for the BansheeWe are joined this episode by writer and conservationist Orla ní Dhúill.Orla is an Irish writer and professional tree botherer bouncing between Dublin and an island off the west coast of Ireland where she can stand on sea cliffs and scream to her heart's content. She is the creator of best-selling DMs Guild adventure Murder on the Eberron Express and a contributor to 2c Gaming's TPK Bestiary Vol 2.MUSIC"Song of the Banshee" by Aine Minogue"Virtutes Vocis" and "Virtutes Instrumenti" by Kevin MacLeod"The Path of the Goblin King" by Kevin MacLeod"See You Soon" by Borrtex"Hero Down" by Kevin MacLeod"Blizzard" by Kai Engel"Capital City" by Sebastian AnusCOMMUNITYPatreon: Get access to early episode releases, hours of bonus video content, and or Lorekeeper maps and notesDiscord: Chat with fellow monster-lovers and suggest ideas for future showsTwitter: Get up-to-date news about episode releases and show news
