97 Shadows
97 Shadows
This week Freeman & James get into possibly the most under valued creature yet (in terms of CR) – shadows!
These creatures have the unique 1-2 punch of hitting hard and not taking very much damage and could be trouble in a fight. Plus, they have an ability to create more shadows! Fun and dangerous!
This particular episode also gives James a platform to proclaim his admiration for a particular pulp hero!

93 Golember Part 1 - D&D Lore
This week we get into the first episode of the Fan Requested Golem Suite!
The fan who requested this suite, Tekale, did so by winning a raffle from a charity stream James did in junction with Casa de Colores Fundraiser.
That being said, what a choice! Golems are one of James’ favourite creatures and we’re so so excited to get into them this week, starting with Part 1 – D&D Lore from all editions with a focus on 5e.

92 Banderhobbs
92 Banderhobbs
The Banderhobb is a creature rife with potential. Flavour-country in shadow and flesh salad, read for homebrew vinaigrette to be toss amongst the shredded dark pieces.
Ok this analogy is weird already.
A large portion of the credit for this episode goes to Paizo’s Dungeon Magazine Issue #195, and Steve Townshend, writer of the article The Ecology of the Banderhobb.

A big thank you to Pascal and Ali, our voice actors as well as to Freeman for writing such a beautiful narrative and finally to James for his hard work on the editing. This was an amazing time and we're all ready looking forward to our next big suite of monsters which will be coming in the Fall of 2020!
Finally creatures, with this episode we'll head out into the night, and back to our regular biweekly schedule - for now, but we hope front the bottom of our heartstones that you enjoy Night Hags.

08 Green Hags - Haguary Part 2
08 Green Hags - Haguary Part 2
Hey there Creatures and welcome to Part 2!
We hope you liked Part 1! In this episode Freeman teaches James a thing or two about Covens, Superstition and most importantly, the Green Hag itself!
If you can make it all the way to the end of the episode we've added in a bit extra that we had to cut from the body of the show, almost 15m of us droning on, and on, about how interesting the Rule of Three actually is!
We hope you enjoy this weeks foray into the mind of the twisted Green Hag.

Hey there Creatures!
Thank you for joining us as we embark on our most ambitious journey yet that we've lovingly dubbed, Haguary.
In these episodes you can expect, time travel, violence, musical cues and REAL voice actors. Each episode will have an intro and outro exposition where our beloved heroes travel to save their friend and their souls!
Sit back, and open your earballs as we learn you a thing or two about Sea Hags from Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition.

06 Gargoyles
06 Gargoyles
This week Freeman and James talk in depth about ye olde grotesques and how they differ from on of our favourite creatures, The Gargoyle! Listen in for lots of dumb pop culture references, a great list of books to check out and, as always, the hosts to butcher some pronunciations! Hope you enjoy this weeks ep!
