    Black Dragons: Kicking the Weak When They’re Up (Best of the Bestiary)

    They’re literally the fantasy equivalent of bullies. Difference being that they’re fucking dragons, so they can get away with it. Sort of like real bullies, only a thousand times more awesome. In terms of pure ‘surprise, bitch!’ factor (which is an important one for a dragon, trust me), the black dragon might be the best…

    Chromatic Dragons: General Lore (Best of the Bestiary)

    Finally! Time to talk about the coolest bastards in the history of fantasy! Dragons are the most important monsters in the game. Don’t believe me?

    Doppelganger: Your Clay Figure Replacement (Best of the Bestiary)

    Ah, the Doppelganger. A fantasy classic. Of course it would appear in Dungeons and Dragons! Unfortunately, that’s what scares me. When it comes to typical fantasy monsters in D&D, they end up being kind of boring. The Cyclops, the Centaur, Dinosaurs (those ones were real, but you get my point), all of these classic creatures…
