INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the Fiend Folio ! This book contains more than

250 creatures for use in D UNGEONS & D RAGONS ® adven-

tures. This introduction explains how to read a monster’s

write-up, including summaries of the most common

attacks and abilities.

The monster entries are arranged alphabetically by name.

Monsters of the same kind are grouped under their major

entry; for instance, the piscoloth and skeroloth are both

described in the yugoloth entry.

Appendix 1 details three prestige classes suited for

monsters—the fiend of blasphemy, fiend of corruption,

and fiend of possession. Appendix 2 describes grafts, which

are body parts that can be applied to a creature’s usual phys-

iology, and symbionts, a class of creatures that are most

commonly found living in or on another creature. Finally, a

list of monsters organized by Challenge Rating may be

found in Appendix 3.

NAME

The first line of a monster entry gives the name by which

the creature is generally known. The descriptive text may

mention alternate names.

SIZE AND TYPE

This line begins with the creature’s size (Huge, for example).

The eight size categories are briefly described in the table

below. A size modifier applies to the creature’s Armor Class

(AC) and attack bonus, as well as to modifiers for certain

skill checks. A creature’s size also determines how far it can

reach to make a melee attack and how much space it occu-

pies in a fight (see Face/Reach, below).

The size and type line continues with the creature’s type

(Giant, for example). Type determines how magic affects a

creature; for example, the hold animal spell affects only crea-

tures of the animal type. Type determines certain features,

such as Hit Dice size, base attack, base saving throws, and

skill points. Refer to the Monster Manual for details on dif-

ferent types and subtypes.

The Fiend Folio introduces or revises the following sub-

types.

Cold Subtype (Ex): A creature with the cold subtype is

immune to cold damage. It takes half again as much (+50%)

damage as normal from fire, regardless of whether a saving

throw is allowed, or if the save is a success or a failure.

Extraplanar Subtype: Unlike the other subtypes that

appear in this book (as well as the Monster Manual and

Monster Manual II ), the extraplanar subtype is relative—it

READING THE ENTRIES

Each monster entry is organized in the same general

format. An entry is composed of a statistics block, providing

basic game information about the creature in condensed

form, and a section of descriptive text where the creature’s

physiology, tactics, special abilities, and society are dis-

cussed. For more information about the characteristics of

monsters, consult the Player ’s Handbook, the D UNGEON

M ASTER ’s Guide, and the Monster Manual.

THE PLANES OF EXISTENCE

Manual of the Planes describes the planes of the standard D&D cosmol-

ogy in great depth. These planes fall into five categories: the Material

Plane or Planes, Transitive Planes (Astral, Ethereal, and Shadow), Inner

Planes (Air, Earth, Fire, Water, Positive Energy, and Negative Energy),

Outer Planes, and Demiplanes. Most of the extraplanar creatures

described in this book come from the Outer Planes, though some

elementals originate on the Inner Planes and there are a handful of

Ethereal creatures here as well. The Outer Planes in the D&D cosmol-

ogy correspond to alignments, with shading between (the plane of

Acheron, for example, lies between the lawful evil plane of the Nine

Hells and the lawful neutral plane of Mechanus).

The table below shows the short names for the planes that appear

in climate/terrain entries in this book and the full names used in

Manual of the Planes.

In addition to the planes that appear in the standard D&D cosmology,

variant planes and cosmologies appear in the appendix to Manual of

the Planes, including the Region of Dreams, the Far Realm, and the

Plane of Mirrors. A few extraplanar monsters in this book originate

on these planes.

If your campaign’s cosmology does not include the standard

planes of the D&D cosmology or the variant planes referenced in this

book, you can assign new home planes to monsters as you see fit.

Elysium

Blessed Fields of Elysium

Beastlands

Wilderness of the Beastlands

Arborea

Olympian Glades of Arborea

Outlands

Concordant Domain of Outlands

The kaorti, for example, who are described as originating in the Far

Realm, might instead come from Limbo or a similar plane in your

campaign’s cosmology.

pqqqqrs

applies to any creature when it appears on a plane that is not

its home plane. Every extraplanar creature in this book has

a home plane mentioned in its description. These home

planes are taken from the cosmology of the D&D game, as

set forth in Manual of the Planes. (If your campaign uses a dif-

ferent cosmology, you will need to assign different home

planes to extraplanar creatures.)

Creatures that originate from a plane of existence other

than the Material Plane are marked with the extraplanar

subtype, under the assumption that the campaign takes

place on the Material Plane. When characters travel to

Acheron, however, a bonespear encountered

there is no longer an extraplanar creature—

on the contrary, the characters themselves

now have the extraplanar subtype. The

Climate/Terrain entry for each extra-

planar monster in this book

gives its home plane.

An extraplanar creature

can be targeted with a

dismissal or banishment

spell, suffers the full

effects of a blasphemy,

dictum, holy word, or

word of chaos spell

(based on its align-

ment), and can be

called or summoned

by various spells including gate, the planar ally

and planar binding spells, and possibly summon

monster spells.

Elementals and outsiders encountered on the

Material Plane always have this subtype. Mon-

sters from the Monster Manual with this subtype,

besides all elementals and outsiders (except plane-

touched), include the bodak (native to the Abyss), the

ethereal marauder (native to the Ethereal Plane),

the retriever (native to the Abyss), and any creature

with the celestial or fiendish template (native to the

Upper and Lower Outer Planes, respectively).

On certain planes, known as transitive planes, no crea-

tures have the extraplanar subtype. The transitive planes

in the D&D cosmology are the Astral Plane, the Ethereal

Plane, and the Plane of Shadow.

Fire Subtype: (Ex) A creature with the fire subtype is

immune to fire damage. It takes half again as much (+50%)

damage as normal from cold, regardless of whether a saving

throw is allowed, or if the save is a success or a failure.

Shapechanger Subtype: A shapechanger has the

supernatural ability to assume one or more alternate

forms. Many magical effects allow some kind of shape

shifting, and not every creature that can change shapes is

a shapechanger.

Swarm Type or Subtype: A swarm is a collection of

Fine, Diminutive, or Tiny creatures (usually creatures

of the vermin type) that acts as a single creature. A

swarm has the characteristics of its type, except as noted

here. A swarm has a single pool of Hit Dice and hit

points, a single initiative modifier, a single speed, and a

single Armor Class. The swarm makes saving throws as a

single creature.

A single swarm occupies a square (if it is made up of

nonflying creatures) or a cube (of flying creatures) 5 feet

on a side, but its reach is 0 feet, like its component crea-

tures. In order to attack, it moves into an opponent’s

space, which provokes an attack of opportunity. It can

occupy the same space as a creature of any size, since it

crawls all over its prey. A swarm

can move through squares

occupied by enemies

and vice versa without imped-

iment, although the swarm

provokes an attack of opportunity

if it does so. A swarm can move

through cracks or holes large enough for its com-

ponent creatures.

A swarm of Diminutive creatures con-

sists of 150 nonflying creatures or 625

flying creatures. A swarm of Fine crea-

tures consists of 10,000 creatures,

whether they are flying or not.

Swarms of nonflying creatures

include many more creatures than

could normally fit in a 5-foot square

based on their normal face, because creatures in a

swarm are packed tightly together and generally

crawl over each other and their prey when

moving or attacking. Larger swarms are rep-

resented by multiple swarms, or multiple

five-foot squares. A swarm of 200,000 plague

ants is 20 plague ant swarms, each swarm

occupying a 5-foot square. A large swarm is

completely shapeable, though it usually

remains contiguous.

Swarm Traits: A swarm has no

clear front or back and no dis-

cernible anatomy, so it is not subject to

critical hits or flanking. A swarm made

up of Tiny creatures takes half damage

from slashing and piercing weapons. A swarm com-

posed of Fine or Diminutive creatures are immune to all

weapon damage.

Reducing a swarm to 0 hit points or fewer causes the

swarm to break up, though damage taken until that point

does not diminish its ability to attack or resist attack.

Swarms are never staggered or reduced to a dying state by

damage. Also, they cannot be tripped, grappled, or bull

rushed, and they cannot grapple another.

A swarm is immune to any spell or effect that targets a

specific number of creatures (including single-target
