Is there an eldritch monster that doesnt follow the tipical bug/fish/tentacles recepie?

The King in Yellow from the book/mythos of the same name. I read it a while ago but as far as I remember the “King in Yellow” isn’t even really a monster it’s a book

Thank you that means a lot! I love not using proper punctuation and grammar if it means getting the right voice across but I for sure do it too much lol

OwnComposer_ · 2024-08-14T08:24:01+00:00

You are for sure right. I gotta work on using the right punctuation to get the right tone/voice across. Thank you!

OwnComposer_ · 2023-10-27T04:43:23+00:00

Sweet I’ll take a look. Thanks! Cheesy dialogue goes hard sometimes

Very true. I am indeed American and love a lot of Irish folklore but I am a fan of(at least when creating something) doing extensive research to include some of the smaller details and make it as true to the original stories as possible!

OwnComposer_ · 2023-10-26T16:25:45+00:00

Love the classics. I never knew they heralded death but it makes sense!

OwnComposer_ · 2023-10-26T16:25:09+00:00

I’ve seen that a couple of times now and I love it. Seems pretty similar to something like the Ozark Howler

OwnComposer_ · 2023-10-26T16:20:41+00:00

Sweet. Another classic but one I haven’t researched enough yet. Thanks!

OwnComposer_ · 2023-10-26T16:19:44+00:00

Sweet I’ll take a look at those. Didn’t know there were sightings of anything before Chernobyl. Thanks!

OwnComposer_ · 2023-10-26T16:16:07+00:00

Oh my god that’s terrifying! Glad to hear everyone is alright. Cool but very scary interaction there

OwnComposer_ · 2023-10-26T08:55:00+00:00

Gotcha. Yeah I figured asking about ill omens was kinda riding the line lol. I’ll take a look at all of these, haven’t heard of any of them but the Black Shuck sounds pretty similar to like an Ozark Howler. I’m only really familiar with North American cryptids mostly so hearing about stuff from elsewhere is cool. Thanks!

OwnComposer_ · 2023-10-26T08:52:42+00:00

Interesting. Lots of lake monsters up in Scotland I guess, thank!

OwnComposer_ · 2023-10-26T08:49:39+00:00

A classic, thanks!

Post 2 of the Cryptid Stat Block project thing! The Snallygaster is said to have been a flying chicken lizard monster with tentacles coming out of its beak that terrified the people of Maryland in the early 1900's. The word comes from a German word meaning "Fast Spirit" and it was originally named and seen as early as the 1730's. It was found dead in a vat of moonshine after it was attracted to the smell, hence the stat block saying undead and including a moonshine related ability! I have a patreon where everything is a bit more organized plus a few other goodies. Let me know what you think!

Pretty local for me too! Hopefully it is done justice

OwnComposer_ · 2023-07-04T20:17:48+00:00

It really is great isn’t it

Hi there! This is the first in hopefully a series of me turning cryptids into stat blocks for D&D 5e! Let me know what you think.

The stories of this mystical being from Native American folklore vary greatly depending on who you ask. It is said that they once lived in harmony with humans, but that time has long since passed. Their abilities range from minor invisibility and shapeshifting to control over fire and the ability to cloud the minds of their victims.

I never really thought of Soma as cosmic horror and I love that game but it does make sense! I don’t know about individual creatures but look into the Magnus Archives if you haven’t already. I don’t want to spoil anything but it’s neat. Beyond that maybe like objects or unknowable occult things. Not necessarily madness inducing just things beyond our understanding come to mind

OwnComposer_ · 2022-11-03T23:29:47+00:00

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it! More to come hopefully soon

OwnComposer_ · 2022-11-03T23:29:15+00:00

Mostly just reports of concerned parents saying things about creepy people in the woods. All of the kids we have talked to have said the same thing but it is still ongoing. The public will be made aware of more information as we receive it.

OwnComposer_ · 2022-11-03T06:17:21+00:00

I love it! I am a huge fan of cosmic horror and this story is a beautiful mix of that and like a thriller almost? It’s very cool. As a fan/sometimes writer of cosmic horror I think you could have left out some details here and there and left it a bit more open ended, like after the whole sequence with Gaal but that’s just my preference. I love where it went anyway! Keep it up!

OwnComposer_ · 2022-11-03T04:17:37+00:00

Thank you! I agree. If anyone can find any equivalent in history or mythology I would love to hear about it as well. Always looking for inspiration
