    Demons Part 5: Dretch (Best of the Bestiary)

    These things are just fucking millennials. But stupid and worthless. And demonic. No seriously, just look at the flavor text! They’re hideous, self-loathing creatures who are, and I quote, ‘doomed to spend eternity in a state of perpetual discontent’ (which may be the single funniest thing I have ever read in my entire life).

    Demons Part 1: General Lore (Best of the Bestiary)

    Today, we begin our dive into one of the longest sections of the entire Monster Manual: Demons. Hope you guys enjoy the denizens of hell because we’ll likely be here until the new Doom game comes out! And that’s all before we talk about the Devils! Normally, I’d break down each monster on its own.…
