For Inktober, an A-Z of D&D monsters.
I love these! Imp, Orc/Purple Worm, and Quickling might be my faves, although Mind Flayer and Lich are pretty adorable too.

It looks like she's saying to the Gelatinous Cube, "Stop cleaning your room and go outside."

These are awesome but I'm a little sad that they're only partially Gashlycrumbed. They need appropriate captions to go full Gashly.

One of my D&D characters is a pirate-y bard, and kind of an asshole, really, and bound to get herself killed one of these days -- because she thinks she's a badass, but she's really quite young and naive. She wants to make friends with all of the big bads, or at least talk with them before trying to help squish them out of necessity, because she's got a sort of hero-worship thing going on. Her favorite part of her latest adventures has been having tea with a mind flayer, so she'd really get a kick out of playing hide-and-seek with a beholder.

I new X was going to be for Xorn. You'd think D&D would have more X monsters, just because.

Run right up and rub its horn.
Look at all those points you're losing!
Umber hulks are so confusing.

I wish R was for Rakshasa, because I love me some Rakshasas. But can't really fault them for choosing Rust Monster.
