Giant Venomous Puppy and the No-Good Very-Bad Day

Venture into a perilous canyon of cryptid creatures in this D&D 5th Edition adventure built for 3rd-level characters.

A Scorpion's Venom

The prince's beloved pet -- a baby wyvern with a barbed, venomous tail -- has recently disappeared back into the canyon where it was stolen from its parents. Your party has been recruited to seek out the wyvern and return it home safely.

Cryptid Canyon

At the bottom of the canyon along the banks of the rivers and in the underground caves live fantastic creatures -- bears that dwarf the grizzlies of the woods, tribes of orcs and lizardmen, owls of enormous size and unprecedented intelligence, and giants with bellies that will never be satiated. The party will be challenged physically and mentally to limit the dangers they face and, potentially, overcome their foes without ever drawing a blade. But if a blade wishes to be drawn, it will draw blood.

A Special Task

This adventure is intended for a party of 3rd-level adventurers, but it includes guidelines to adapt it for a 2nd-level group, or to make it more difficult to account for groups of up to 5th level. The adventure should take about 3 to 4 hours to run.

Extra Stuff

Also included in this adventure are two new statblocks for the strange and terrifying creatures within the canyon: the baby wyvern itself, plus a chimera of bear, owl, and wyvern fuelled by fey magic.
