Planar Bestiary

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Are you taking your players to the Planes? Or maybe you’re bringing the Planes to them? Looking for some extra demons to spice up your Out of the Abyss campaign or more nasty devils to serve Zariel? With over 150 monsters updated from earlier editions, complete with full descriptions, the Planar Bestiary has something for everyone. Fiends, celestials, and elementals abound. Plus some regular folks you might find on the planes, like 15 NPCs that are right at home in Sigil (but can be used in any campaign). And did someone say Modrons? I thought someone said Modrons. Well, have I got some Modrons for you!

The creatures contained herein are faithfully updated to preserve their place in the Planes, as well as their iconic abilities, while expertly fitting them into the more streamlined design patterns of 5th edition.

All this and more in the 152 pages of the Planar Bestiary. Take a look at the table of contents in the preview for a full list of the creatures you’ll find within.

If you feel any particularly cool planar monster is missing from this document, feel free to recommend it in the comments; it might get added!

Any chance anyone ever built these in Roll20? I am doing them 1 at a time from the purchased product, and I'd love to save time by collaborating.

Any way to get a printer friendly variant without the background?

Hi,

I know this is a long shot, but is the XML file for these creatures available as well? Would love to buy them both so I can use the creatures in Kobold Fight Club & Improved Initiative.

Thanks! :)

Unfortunately I haven't made anything but the PDF.

Any chance you're going to include creatures from the Feywild, can I ask?

The feywild is probably out of scope for this one. It's more about the outer and inner planes, and the transitory planes to some extent.

But maybe in a different project. =)

Great work on these stat blocks! Are the tables in the back going to be updated soon to include monsters from Tome of Foes?

Not a big deal, but just noticed that the Actions in the Bulezau stat block refer to it as a babau. Otherwise, I'm impressed with the content so far. Nice work.

This is good content, you definitely did your homework. Would you be taking into consideration creatures that live on the Astral Plane itself? Such as the Astral Render, Malediction, Nullifier, Voracia, Astral Dreadnought, Neh-Thalggu, and Astral Phane.

How are the Abishai? I've been looking for good Abishai conversions and considering dropping the $ on this...

What are you looking for in your abishai?

The 5 varieties (in 3e order of power) are represented. Their tail stings do related elemental damage rather than all doing poison damage.

They follow 5e conventions, meaning that they get the same core features common to devils, rather than a ton of spell-like abilities, and they look in line with the devils in the Monster Manual.

Maybe a bit late, but Planar Bestiary Excerpts #4: The Nine Hells is now out, and has the Abishai in it.

As for astral monster, they're on the list of future additions. =)

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
