FOREWORD
When I make a magic item, I imagine the worlds and characters they come from. Are they hoarded
by those dragons, brandished by a new evil, or wielded by great heroes? Where would you find these
treasures, and why? A character can be driven or defined by such an item as quickly as they can be
burdened by their curses. Good items can tell any number of great stories—which, to me, is the
greatest magic of all.
And like the flaming swords of yore, even the most fantastic monsters can seem commonplace
to the experienced player. After fielding generations of players, the most memorable stories are
often the least expected. Take heart and invite the unknown into your worlds! Reinvigorate your
players with suspense and curiosity at every turn. “What kind of creature is that?” they’ll ask, or my
personal favorite, “...does it look dangerous?” The mysterious is oft synonymous with the novel.
Everybody wins when storytellers imagine without boundaries, and there’s no question to be had
about how monsters and treasure can play a pivotal role in their adventures. For that reason, it’s
safe to assume that a compendium like this will no doubt play an important role in the stories of
many, like you. And for all that influence, it’s of equal importance to make sure that its contents are
thoughtfully—and lovingly—crafted.
This is one such book.
The dedicated people that have assembled this compendium are careful, clever, and exceptionally
creative. They know that when we put our faith in the work of someone else, we allow them to help
shape our stories—a responsibility they take in earnest. Rest easy, storyteller: you are in good hands.
Now, turn the page and go forth! Tell your next story, and look to the creatures and curios within
to make it great!

HOW TO USE THIS BOOK
This book is divided into two main sections.
First,
Creatures
contains 100 new monsters to add to your 5e games. The creatures’
descriptions give you an idea of their appearance, behavior, and motivation to spark ideas of how
you might use them in your game. The creatures are beautifully illustrated by some of the top artists
working in fantasy art.
The second half of the book is made up of the
Curios,
100 new magic items. You can give these
magic items to your player characters or nonplayer characters in your game world. Some of them
suggest epic quests to uncover or destroy them. Others are simple items that your players can use
in innovative ways. Each curio is accompanied by a gorgeous illustration and the information you
need to deploy it in your game.
At the end of the book, you’ll find the
Appendices.
The first two list the creatures by their
Challenge Rating and type and curios by their rarity and type. Finally, there is an appendix of
random roll tables to help you quickly pick the perfect curio in various game situations.
Creatures & Curios
is designed to be used with the 5e Core Rules. Any creature marked in
bold blue
can be found in this book. Creatures marked in
bold purple
can be found in the 5e
Core Rules. Spells and magic items appear in italics. Any magic item marked with an asterisk * can
be found in this book, and those without an asterisk can be found in the 5e Core Rules.
