urn back while you still can. Turn back while you
still possess your mind…and some semblance
of a self. That which lies herein is designed
to kill and to maim. To break your body and
snap your mind. There is no escape, there is no
respite. Once you begin your journey, there is no way back.
There is only death, and darkness, and the possibility of flame.

We are in a strange land, after all. And strangers in strange lands should
know what to expect. It’s in the name of the book in your hands. Strange
beings. You’re still here then? No words of ours will dissuade you from your
path? Well then…Welcome traveller, to the Tome of Strange Beings.

This bestiary contains creatures from throughout the DARK SOULS

universe—from across the different video games—now assembled here to terrify
your players, butcher their character, and introduce them to the miracle of
the bonfire!

After all, let’s not kid ourselves. DARK SOULS: The Roleplaying Game isn’t
about balance or carefully compiled lists of encounter ratings. It’s about
hopeless odds, and death, death, death. These are creatures to surprise and
slaughter your players, to force them to think and to work together. There’s
almost nothing in this book that isn’t directly hostile to the Unkindled.

So…Prepare to Die.

Using This Book

This book is a bestiary, featuring a host of iconic DARK SOULS
creatures ready to bring terror to your tabletop. Complete with all
new abilities, terrifying attacks, and brutal bloodied actions, the
creatures herein provide a wealth of new ways to send your characters
back to the bonfire, and bring the worlds of DARK SOULS: The
Roleplaying Game to new, and grisly, life.

To make things easier, this book is broken into sections, each

concentrating on the different types of monsters to be found therein.
You’ll find a minion section, which contains all of the lesser terrifying
monsters and beings you’ll encounter as you wander through the
world, from variations on the lowly Hollow you’re after to the Dark
Knights. If you want to skip straight to the big bosses, they have their
own chapter—as you’d expect! If you’re looking for Nito, Lord of the
Undead, for instance, or any other iconic boss, then you’ll want to
check out this chapter.

There’s also an initial chapter that guides you through how to use
monsters and build encounters in DARK SOULS: The Roleplaying
Game. After all, everyone expects to die in a DARK SOULS game,
but they also anticipate actually making some forward progress at
some point. This chapter offers ways to build interesting encounters,
use monsters in interesting ways, and ensure your games feel fair and
authentically difficult—and brutal, like you expect in this strange world.

Building
Encounters

W hen you imagine battle, it’s not just enemies trading blows
until one side is killed—no, battles are much more than that.
They are tense, and tactical. Combat shouldn’t become a matter of
rolling dice over and over again, running through the same litany
of actions, until a resolution is reached. An exciting battle should
cause players to think, and to push their characters to the limits of
their abilities.

Battle should be a dynamic, exciting, and perilous test of mettle and

steel. So, how do you go about achieving this feeling in your games?
The following tips should help, but they don’t stand alone. Each tip
interacts with all the others and you, as GM, need to weave each
choice you make and each element to create thrilling battle scenes.
 Introduction

What's the Fight For?
W hat are you attempting to achieve in your game with this fight?
Fights shouldn’t just happen. Of course, it’s fine to throw in
random fights to subject your players to a challenge, but most fights
should serve a broader purpose. Determine what this purpose is—
what you want your characters to experience and recognise in the
fight. It can be as simple as determining that their current path is
especially well-guarded and dangerous. It can be subtle, reinforcing
the overarching theme of your adventure, or brutally obvious as you
show the characters that there’s something cool behind this door!
You don’t need to overthink it or have each fight provide a major
turning point, but knowing what you want it to achieve is a great
help to you as a GM in terms of running the fight and knowing when
to draw it to a close.
Choose the Right Bad Guys
T his can seem obvious, but there’s more to it than it might initially
appear. To start, you need to know what kind of challenge your
characters are going to face. Do you want to kill them? Because
you can, it’s pretty easy to do, but you need to know why you’re
doing that and what lesson your characters are going to learn
from it. In both DARK SOULS videogames and in the DARK
SOULS: The Roleplaying Game death comes pretty easily, but it
always communicates something more. This can help determine your
monster choices, as can the environment you’re setting the fight in.
Is it in a castle? Then you’re likely going to want Silver Knights, or
other creatures who suit both the environmental aesthetics and the
10 tone of the location. You can change things up completely, if you
want to, of course. Rather than Silver Knights or Hollows, fill the
dingy confines of the castle with walking plants and giant butterflies,
maybe even some scarecrows.
Be sure that’s the effect you want your battle to have though, as the
characters are sure to wonder why the castle is full of butterflies.
Dislocation and uncertainty are great emotions to invoke in players,
but make sure you’re building an encounter capable of achieving
that aim. The tone of your adventure depends on the monsters
you’re pitting them against. Think about what impact you want the
monsters to have, think about where they encounter the characters,
and what character should take from meeting them—both in terms
of gameplay, and in terms of atmosphere around the table.
Describe, Describe, Describe
T he glorious, gothic world of DARK SOULS is instantly
memorable. It surrounds the characters at all times; stygian
darkness making everything unsafe, unsound, uncertain. Description
is your dearest friend in evoking this bleak mood. You can’t stop at
your describing the surroundings, however. Describe your monsters.
Emphasise their strangeness, dwell on the most disgusting or
disturbing elements. Use the monster descriptions and key phrases,
included with each stat block to advise you how to effectively
communicate the monster’s appearance, how it moves, and the way
in which it shapes the world around it. Description is a key GM tool,
but that doesn’t mean it’s always easy to pluck the perfect phrase
from your mind when needed. That’s okay though—that’s something
this book is designed to help with. Describe as much as you can and
respond to player questions with information—if they’ve earned it, of
course. While DARK SOULS lore should always remain mysterious
and impenetrable, monster behaviour shouldn’t. If characters ask
questions about how a creature moves, or what it does when it’s about
to attack them, give them the answers!
Plan for the Boss Early
O ne way to make monster fights feel important is to link them
to the approaching boss fight. This does several things—it
gives you a means of teasing the approaching boss battle, a great
way of allowing characters to perfect the tactics they might utilise
in the forthcoming battle, and it helps the characters infer things
about the world. The boss battles (we’ll get to those shortly!) are one
of the major focus points of any DARK SOULS game, but they
shouldn’t come out of nowhere. When building your encounters,
try and construct them so there’s a dialogue between the individual
encounter and the broader story you’re telling. How do the initial
creatures the characters meet reflect, or contrast, with the boss?
What’s the relationship between the boss and the other monsters?
Are they loyal soldiers? Debtors, forced to repay even after death? Or
are they mindless things, bound through magic or sheer misfortune
to infest an area, waiting for annihilation to free them? And if so,
what does that say about the boss? What does their choice of minion
say about the boss? What does it say about how the characters need
to approach the fight? These are important questions and answering
them, or at least giving thought to them, is a great way of shaping
meaningful and exciting encounters.
 Introduction

Boss Fights
N ow, we’ve got the tips for building an encounter with the smaller
things, the monsters that surround you and close in on all sides
in Lothric. But then, there’s still the big fights—the boss battles.
They’re a vital part of any DARK SOULS experience, and they
should be difficult. They should be challenging. They should even,
on occasion, be gruelling. But they should also always be moments
of high drama, of grand and terrible acts, and of decisions taken in
the midst of desperation. Sometimes, they might even turn out to
be decisions leading to victory. So, let’s look at four principles to
underpin your boss battles!
Don't be Cruel
T here are bosses in DARK SOULS: The Roleplaying Game
who can do awful, terrible things to characters, but you don’t
need to use these bosses every turn. This is a co-operative game in
which you’re working with the players to tell a story, but that doesn’t
mean you shouldn’t challenge them nor does it mean they shouldn’t
struggle or that they won’t suffer setbacks. The characters should be
reminded about the constant dangers they face and the deadliness
of the enemy combatants arrayed against them, especially when
they face off against a boss. However, you should be generous and
be sparing in utilising the most powerful of boss abilities to make
sure things are fair. There are a few ways of making things feel fairer
for characters: the first of which is to use the names of attacks when
telling characters what the boss is going to do. This lets characters
prepare their actions, learn what to expect, and build tactics to
counteract what’s coming. It’s also great for building apprehension!
Death is a Learning Experience
T his isn’t a direct contradiction of the above, even though it might
sound like it. While you shouldn’t be unnecessarily cruel, you
also shouldn’t be afraid of the characters struggling a little bit. If your
players aren’t making use of their abilities, if they’re hoarding Position
rather than spending it judiciously, or if they’re simply choosing to
play stupidly, then it’s okay for things to go badly for them. Death is
a reasonable reward for idiocy in the world of DARK SOULS. Even
then, you should try to make character deaths feel meaningful—have
them contain some elements of progress, and of salutary lessons for
the characters. Let the characters, as they’re being butchered, glimpse
a momentary weakness. A means by which they can ensure that they
do better next time. Death isn’t the end in DARK SOULS; it’s just
an opportunity to have one more go.
What This Doesn't Mean...
Don’t try to solve out-of-game problems with an in-game
solution. If someone is disrupting the table, don’t kill their
character—no matter how tempting it might be! Talk to them,
explain how you want the table to function and how you want the
game to flow. A lot of these issues can be dealt with via a Session
0, held before the game properly begins. You should discuss your
expectations as a GM along with any expectations your players
have. Combine your Session 0 with other safety tools such as
those discussed in the DARK SOULS: The Roleplaying Game
corebook to make sure your games are fun for everyone.
Make the Fight Important
B osses should be scary and, as they are vital to any DARK
SOULS game, they should feel like a big deal. Bosses are
the pinnacle of a game session, an adventure, or even an entire
campaign. When characters meet the biggest and deadliest beings
in the world of Lothric, or Lordran, they should feel central to the
action. Encounters should build to a boss fight, with the characters
increasingly aware that they’re drawing near to something ominous,
something dreadful, something likely to send them back to the
bonfire in assorted pieces. Now, of course, you can achieve positive
results by occasionally throwing in a sudden surprise boss, or a boss
the characters need to hunt down. Truly though, most of the time,
bosses should feel inevitable and unavoidable. A terrible threat
against which the characters must test themselves and which they
can’t advance past until they’ve found their way.
There’s no dodging a boss battle in the DARK SOULS videogames
and there’s no running away. Once you’ve begun a boss fight, you
either complete it or you die. You don’t have to be quite as ruthless
in your games, but it does achieve a definite atmosphere and it
lets characters know there’s no way out. It makes every boss battle
properly significant, and means characters bring their best to the
battle. There’s no hiding. It’s do or—very literally—die.
Let Them be Cool
W hile you’re making sure characters recognise the terrible
peril they’re in whenever fighting a boss, you should also be
ensuring they get the opportunity to be amazing. If the characters
come up with a means of defeating the boss—or any creature—let
them try it. Think of an appropriate check the characters need to
succeed on, or a succession of them if that feels most appropriate— 11
collaborating to develop an unconventional plan is the beauty of
roleplaying . While DARK SOULS video games require characters
to hack their way to victory, you don’t have to use the same approach
every time for the roleplaying game.
If the characters engage with their surroundings and decide on a plan
to drop a vast portcullis onto Black Dragon Kalameet’s neck, or to
lure Halfbreed Priscilla into a pit of lava, let them! It’s your game and,
importantly, it’s the player’s game. If they find exciting or unusual
ways to deal with big fights, then you should go with it. Don’t enable
them to avoid risks or danger, of course, but use their choices to open
up new and different risks.
Being smart, using your resources intelligently, and achieving your
goals is what DARK SOULS is all about. Give your players that
chance, and your battles will be all the more exciting as a result.
Now you’ve got the key advice for building epic, authentically
DARK SOULS encounters and boss battles. They’re
intended to challenge your players and their characters, to
push them to their limits, and to build the kind of endlessly
threatening adventures you’ve experienced in the video games.
So now, go forward, choose the creatures most suitable for
your games, and get ready to set them against your poor,
unprepared players!

operate autonomously, with no need to be commanded by
Pinwheel. They can often be found as guards, servants, or
wrangling other undead created by the necromancer Pinwheel.

Be wary of these fiends, the contamination in Blighttown is of an

unmistakable foulness. Silentious and craven dregs of the toxic
scum, the Blowdart Snipers ensconce themselves in the decaying
recesses of the noxious cleft. They clad themselves in the refuse 35
discarded by the above world to disappear into the rank miasma
they inhabit. Hunched unseen, ready, and more than willing, to
discharge darts smeared in virulent poisons at any unfortunate
who dares venture through the pestilential place.

Blighttown The Blowdart Sniper has the invisible condition.

Mimicry When the Blowdart Sniper uses the Toxic Dart action,
the target creature and allies within 5 feet of them
must succeed on a DC 14 Wisdom (Perception) check.
Once this check has been passed the Blowdart Sniper
loses the invisibility condition.

Actions

Toxic Dart Ranged Weapon Attack: +2 to hit, range 25/100 ft., one
target. Hit: 2 (1d4) piercing damage. A creature hit by this
attack has the poisoned condition and must immediately
make a DC 12 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save
the target loses Position equal to the average roll of one of
its Hit Dice every minute. The loss of Position continues
until the poisoned condition is removed.

Feeble Push Melee Weapon Attack: +2 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit
2 (1d4) bludgeoning damage. A creature hit by this attack
is pushed 5 feet directly away from the Blowdart Sniper.

Bloodied

Panic Shot When an enemy moves within 10 feet of the

Blowdart Sniper, if there are no other enemies within
this range, the Blowdart Sniper may immediately
make a Toxic Shot attack as a reaction.

The city’s luckless denizens did not escape; they drowned

Legendary Actions

Howling in equal parts rage and sorrow, banshees stalk the
grounds near the places they frequented in life. Only two are
known to reliable sources, and each of them carries a decrepit
bundle of rags and bones that are thought to be the ghostly
essence of the banshee’s child. What horrors befell them in life
empowers them in undeath, as they shriek and claw in frenzy
at any living creature that draws too close.
Scholars theorize their cursed existence may also prove to
be their undoing. The few who studied them closely, or the
even fewer who’ve fought them and survived all report their
weapons proving ineffective; any wound inflicted closing in
mere seconds.
All, that is, save Thorsk the Twice-Cursed; the drunken sot
babbles endlessly of how he defeated a banshee as he sits in
the dark, cradling the creature’s bundle of sorrow, citing the
dark magic of curses as his weapon of choice.
The Banshee can take up to three legendary actions by choosing from
the options below and spending the required Position. Only one
legendary action option can be used at a time and only at the end of
another creature’s turn. The banshee regains spent legendary actions at
the start of its turn.

makes a melee attack with advantage against
a single target at the end of this movement.
If the attack exceeds the target’s AC by 5 or
more, or if the target is restrained, the target
is knocked prone and stunned until the end of
the banshee’s next turn. The banshee does not
provoke attacks of opportunity when using
this legendary action.

To look upon a Lycanthrope is to know cruelty. The cruelty

of those who nailed them to a cross on the Road of Sacrifices;
the cruelty of the Curse of Undeath which hollowed them 69
and brought them back; unable to rest, bound to the torturous
device forever. The cruelty they intend to inflict on anyone in
their path, repaying the hideous fate they were consigned to.

The hollowing of the Lycanthropes has changed them. Their

fingers are warped into pointed claws and their eyes glow red,
lambent with fury. A Lycanthrope will be still until provoked
by the presence of others. Perhaps trying not to agitate the
grievous wounds covering it, or perhaps they can remember
nothing but how to rain fury upon others.

An enormous humanoid structure of squirming roots and

that flows throughout its limbs. It has been uncounted years since
the heaving mass of life brought forth a fresh demon. The cause
of this inactivity as much an enigma as the ritual that birthed it
in the first place.The most obvious signal of the enormous power
and significance at rest here are the two incandescent orbs that
sit beside it, nestled in the crushing embrace of twisting vines.
There appears to be a pair of enormous catalysts protruding from
them, perhaps holding back the tumultuous power that once
ran amok in this crumbling place.
 Bloodied
Limbs of Flames Bed of Chaos becomes bloodied when two
nodes are destroyed, and it immediately
activates its Volcanic Chaos lair action.
In addition, each node sprouts two flaming
arms tipped with wicked blades and Bed of
Chaos makes two Flame Pick attacks. While
Bed of Chaos remains bloodied, it makes two
Flame Pick attacks in addition to its other
attacks.

burns wildly. Five streams of lava spring from
the ground around Bed of Chaos creating a
5-foot-wide ring of lava around it. Creatures in
this spaces must make a DC 25 Constitution

All creatures hit by this attack are thrown back
10 feet and knocked prone.
Slamming Fist Bed of Chaos slams the ground with its fist. All
creatures in a 10-foot radius of a point within
25 feet of it must immediately make a DC 23
Dexterity saving throw, taking 43 (6d10+10)
bludgeoning damage and be pushed 5 feet

chaotic energy. Damage inflicted by the
Writhing Domain feature is increased by 19

legendary action option can be used at a time and only at the end of
another creature's turn. Ceaseless Discharge regains spent legendary
actions at the start of its turn.

A force of nature, Ceaseless Discharge is the source of all lava
in the ruined world. This massive elemental can only rarely be
bothered enough to interact with the affairs of other creatures,
preferring instead to busy itself with the accumulation of
treasures that inevitably make their way into the deep recesses
of the earth. Intrinsically tied to the structural stability of the
world above, whenever Ceaseless Discharge takes action, the
lands buckle and heave with earthquakes and landslides as
volcanoes erupt and spew forth their fiery contents.
It has been said that Ceaseless Discharge is the youngest child
and only male offspring of the Witch of Izalith. His seven
sisters are known as the Daughters of Chaos, and although
he has little interaction with them, they all played a part in
the creation of the chaos demons when the Witch failed
to recreate the First Flame. In the rampant chaos that was
spawned in the wake of her disastrous experiment, Ceaseless
Discharge and his siblings found themselves forever changed.

next turn; a successful DC 18 Dexterity saving
throw negates the blindness.
Spend 20 Position Lava’s Rage. Ceaseless Discharge uses fiery

The Witch of Izalith’s only son, Ceaseless Discharge, was

given the Orange Charred Ring to lessen the pain of his
lava sores, presumably. However, he dropped it due to his
clumsiness. The Centipede Demon emerged from the very
spot it landed, likely after the creation of the Flame of Chaos
by Ceaseless' own mother.

Perched upon a rock, it would be easy to think that the

Centipede Demon is dead as it stands completely motionless.
When awakened, flames ignite out of the four spikes on its
back and the multiple sets of eyes open aglow, then it drops
down on two reptilian feet. The creature has a total of six
demonic centipede heads: two on its back, two as arms, and
the last two as the head and tail.

ends, the target is restrained, and the Centipede
Demon can't restrain another target inside its
toothy chest.

Tail Swing Melee Weapon Attack: +14 to hit, reach 30 ft., one
target. Hit: 14 (2d6+7) slashing damage plus 10
(3d6) fire damage, and the target must succeed
on a DC 20 Strength saving throw or be hurled
up to 25 feet away.

All creatures in a 10-foot radius of a point
within 20 feet of the Centipede Demon must
immediately make a DC 20 Dexterity saving 87

Gravelord Nito once went to war against the dragons, and now
wages war against those that would seek to conquer death itself.
As the lord of death, Nito has transcended any mortal shell
that he once held and now builds and rebuilds himself from
the skeletal remains that linger in the vicinity of his crypt. Now
little more than a floating collection of hundreds of skeletons
compressed into a ball, Nito’s physical countenance is truly the
stuff of nightmares. A cloak of necrotic-infused cloth, tattered
and frayed but always lightly flapping in an unseen and unfelt
breeze, covers his form. Even his chosen weapon, a hideous
blade formed of ruined metal fragments and razor-sharp
splinters of bone, is built from these skeletons.
Defeating Gravelord Nito is no easy task, as he can summon
forth defenders from the corpses that litter the area with little
more than a thought. He thinks little of anything short of a truly
perilous threat, and although he is often slow to act, he is more
than capable of retaining the title of Lord of Death by force.

Challenge: Fearing the rise of the Age of Dark and the dominion of

to his children and allies before sacrificing himself to the
flame. Standing as tall as a giant, with a thick white beard and
wearing his elongated, spiked crown, Gwyn still carries the

a relentless opponent, a peerless warrior, and a challenge fit

As his mind crumbles he fully believes that his youngest son,
Ocellote, is still a baby; he cradles the imaginary infant in one
claw as he furiously rages against any that he believes would
challenge his safety. The king, now thoroughly consumed by
madness, exists in a painful half-state, partially as a beast and
partially as an aware and plotting master. It is said that the

Executioner Smough desired to be one of the shining
Knights of Gwyn, but the glee he showed for his work— his
more cannibalistic tendencies, like grinding the bones of
those he dispatched into his food—ensured he could never
claim that honour. For a time, Smough was one of the few
truly living creatures left in Anor Londo till, like everyone
else, he too became undead. Ornstein and Smough were
tasked with guarding the cathedral where the Princess of
Sunlight was located. Yet Ornstein abandoned their post to
seek out the Nameless King, leaving Smough the cannibal
as the last servant of Gwyn to keep his post.

terms you’ll find in each block. Several different abbreviations are used,
all of which are explained in detail within the following pages.
 Type
A monster’s type encapsulates its essence. The game includes the
following monster types, which have no rules of their own.
Beasts are nonhumanoid creatures—some natural, some warped by
hideous magic into something worse. Some possess magical powers,
but most are unintelligent and lack any society or language. Beasts
include all varieties of ordinary animals haunting the forests, swamps,
and cities of Lothric and elsewhere.
Constructs are created, not born. Some are programmed by their
creators to follow a simple set of instructions, while others are imbued
with sentience and capable of independent thought. Some are forged
from iron, some crafted from ice, and all are deadly in their own fashion.
Demons are born of the primal chaos. They seethe in the darkness,
waiting to emerge and wreak their violence upon the world. They come
in many shapes, and sizes—all deeply inimical to human life.
Dragons are large reptilian creatures of ancient origin and tremendous
power. Their past is a mystery, they are said to be formed of blood and
treachery.
Elementals are creatures drawn directly from the forces of nature; living
rock, twisting flame, sparkling crystal—all become something more,
something stranger, in certain conditions. Living beings capable of
tearing apart any prepared to stand in their way.
Giants are massive, towering over humans and their kind. Once
condemned to work as slaves and servants, the giants took their freedom,
and now watch the world be consumed by darkness around them.
Humanoids are the main population of Lothric, and those kingdoms
beyond. Whether kings, paupers, saints or the cruellest of torturers,
humanoids can be found everywhere—though there are fewer of them
with each day that passes.
Monstrosities are monsters in the strictest sense—frightening creatures
that are not ordinary, not truly natural, and almost never benign.
Oozes are gelatinous creatures who rarely have a fixed shape. They are
mostly subterranean, dwelling in caves and dungeons and feeding on
refuse, carrion, or creatures unlucky enough to get in their way.
Plants are vegetable creatures, not ordinary flora, in the context of the
book. Most of them are ambulatory, and some are carnivorous.
Undead are once-living creatures, returned to existence by the curse
afflicting the land. Some retain the sensibilities and faculties of the
living while others are mindless things, their essence whittled away
to nothing.
Tags
A monster might have one or more tags appended to its type, in
parentheses. For example, a mimic has the (shapechanger) type.
The parenthetical tags provide additional categorization for certain
creatures. The tags have no rules of their own.
Alignment
There are no alignments in DARK SOULS: The Roleplaying Game.
Armour Class
A monster that wears armour or carries a shield has an Armour Class
(AC) determined by its armour, shield statistics and Dexterity modifier.
Otherwise, a monster’s AC is based solely on its Dexterity modifier
and natural armour, if it has any. If a monster has natural armour, wears
armour, or carries a shield, it is noted in parentheses after its AC value.
Position
A monster usually dies or is destroyed when it drops to 0 Position.
For more on Position, see the DARK SOULS: The Roleplaying Game
corebook. Usually, only monsters with the Boss special trait are able to
spend Position in the same way that a player character can spend it—to
improve dice rolls or increase damage. Normal monsters may possess
abilities they can only use by spending Position, however.
Speed
A monster’s speed tells you how far it can move on its turn. All creatures
have a walking speed, simply called the monster’s speed. Creatures that
have no form of ground-based locomotion have a walking speed of
0 feet. Some creatures have one or more of the following additional
movement modes.
Burrow. Monsters that have a burrowing speed can use that speed to
move through sand, earth, mud, or ice. A monster can’t burrow through
solid rock unless it has a special trait that allows it to do so. 113
Climb. Monsters that have a climbing speed can use all or part of their
movement to move on vertical surfaces without the need to spend extra
movement to climb.
Fly. Monsters that have a flying speed can use all or part of their
movement to fly. Some monsters have the ability to hover, which makes
them hard to knock out of the air. Such a monster stops hovering
when it dies.
Swim. Monsters that have a swimming speed don’t need to spend extra
movement to swim.
Ability Scores
Every monster has six ability scores (Strength, Dexterity, Constitution,
Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma) and corresponding modifiers.
Saving Throws
Saving throws are only listed for creatures that are adept at resisting
certain kinds of effects. For example, a creature that isn’t easily charmed
or frightened might gain a bonus on its Wisdom saving throws.
Skills
Skills are only listed for monsters that are proficient in one or more
skills. For example, a monster that is very perceptive and stealthy might
have bonuses to Wisdom (Perception) and Dexterity (Stealth) checks.
 Vulnerabilities, Resistances, and Immunities
Some creatures have vulnerability, resistance, or immunity to certain
types of damage. Particular creatures are even resistant or immune
to damage from nonmagical attacks (a magical attack is an attack
delivered by a spell, a magic item, or another magical source). In
addition, some creatures are immune to certain conditions. These are
listed in the creatures’ stat block beneath ability scores.
Senses
Senses include a monster’s passive Wisdom (Perception) score, as well
as any special senses the monster might have.
Blindsight. A monster with blindsight can perceive its surroundings
without relying on sight, within a specific radius. Creatures without
eyes, such as Slime, typically have this special sense, as do creatures with
echolocation or heightened senses, such as bats and true dragons. If
a monster is naturally blind, it has a parenthetical note to this effect,
indicating that the radius of its blindsight defines the maximum range
of its perception.
Darkvision. A monster with darkvision can see in the dark within a
specific radius. The monster can see in dim light within the radius as if
it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. The monster
can’t discern colour in darkness, only shades of grey. Many creatures
that live underground have this special sense.
Truesight. A monster with truesight can, out to a specific range, see
in normal and magical darkness, see invisible creatures and objects,
automatically detect visual illusions and succeed on saving throws
114 against them, and perceive the original form of a shapechanger or a
creature that is transformed by magic.
Armour, Weapon, and Tool Proficiencies
Assume that the creatures in this book are proficient with their armour,
weapons, and tools. If you swap them out, you decide whether the
creature is proficient with its new equipment.
Languages
As with player characters, language isn’t listed. Whether a monster
can speak or understand any language is up to the GM. If they can
speak—or understand language but not speak—then they understand
the player characters.
Challenge
A monster’s challenge rating tells you how great a threat the monster
is. An appropriately equipped and well-rested party of four adventurers
should be able to defeat a monster that has a challenge rating equal
to its level without suffering any deaths. For example, a party of four
3rd-level characters should find a monster with a challenge rating of
3 to be a worthy challenge, but not a deadly one. Monsters that are
significantly weaker than 1st level characters have a challenge rating
lower than 1. Monsters with a challenge rating of 0 are insignificant
except in large numbers; those with no effective attacks are worth no
souls, while those that have attacks are worth 10 souls each. Some
monsters present a greater challenge than even a typical 20th-level
party can handle. These monsters have a challenge rating of 21 or
higher and are specifically designed to test player skill.
Souls
The number of Souls a monster is worth is based on its challenge rating.
Typically, Souls are awarded for defeating the monster, although the
player characters can also find these hidden throughout Lothric. Unless
something tells you otherwise, a monster summoned by a spell or other
magical ability is worth the souls noted in its stat block.
Special Traits
Special traits appear after a monster’s challenge rating but before
any actions or reactions. These are characteristics that are likely to be
relevant in a combat encounter and that require some explanation.
Spellcasting
Some monsters can cast spells, which are listed as actions, with Position
spends listed where appropriate.
Actions
When a monster takes its action, it can choose from the options in the
Actions section of its stat block or use one of the actions available to
all creatures, such as the Dash or Hide action.
Melee and Ranged Attacks
The most common actions that a monster will take in combat are melee
and ranged attacks. These can be spell attacks or weapon attacks, where
the “weapon” might be a manufactured item or a natural weapon.
Target
The target of a melee or ranged attack is usually either one creature
or one target, the difference being that a “target” can be a creature or
an object.
Hit
Any damage dealt or other effects that occur as a result of an attack
hitting a target are described after the “Hit” notation. You have the
option of taking average damage or rolling the damage; for this reason,
both the average damage and the die expression are presented.
Miss
If an attack has an effect that occurs on a miss, that information is
presented after the “Miss:” notation.
Multiattack
A creature that can make multiple attacks on its turn has the
Multiattack action. A creature can’t use Multiattack when making an
opportunity attack, which must be a single melee attack.
Ammunition
A monster carries enough ammunition to make its ranged attacks. You
can assume that a monster has 2d4 pieces of ammunition for a thrown
weapon attack, and 2d10 pieces of ammunition for a projectile weapon
such as a bow or crossbow.
 Reactions

If a monster can do something special with its reaction, that

information is contained here. If a creature has no special reaction,
this section is absent.

Limited Usage

Some special abilities have restrictions on the number of times they

can be used. X/Day. The notation “X/Day” means a special ability can
be used X number of times and that a monster must finish a Long
rest to regain expended uses. For example, “1/Day” means a special
ability can be used once and that the monster must finish a Long rest
to use it again.

Recharge X–Y. The notation “Recharge X–Y” means a monster can use
a special ability once and that the ability then has a random chance of
recharging during each subsequent round of combat. At the start of
each of the monster’s turns, roll a d6. If the roll is one of the numbers
in the recharge notation, the monster regains the use of the special
ability. The ability also recharges when the monster finishes a Short or
Long rest. For example, “Recharge 5–6” means a monster can use the
special ability once. Then, at the start of the monster’s turn, it regains
the use of that ability if it rolls a 5 or 6 on a d6.

Recharge after a Short or Long rest. This notation means that a monster
can use a special ability once and then must finish a Short or Long
rest to use it again.

Grapple Rules for Monsters

Many monsters have special attacks that allow them to quickly grapple 115
prey. When a monster hits with such an attack, it doesn’t need to
make an additional ability check to determine whether the grapple
succeeds, unless the attack says otherwise. A creature grappled by the
monster can use its action to try to escape. To do so, it must succeed
on a Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) check against the
escape DC in the monster’s stat block. If no escape DC is given, assume
the DC is 10 + the monster’s Strength (Athletics) modifier.

Equipment

A stat block rarely refers to equipment, other than armour or weapons

used by a monster. A creature that customarily wears clothes, such as
a humanoid, is assumed to be dressed appropriately.

Size

A monster can be Tiny, Small, Medium, Large, Huge, or Gargantuan.

The Size Categories table shows how much space a creature of a
particular size controls in combat.

Size Space

Tiny 2½ by 2½ ft.
Small 5 by 5 ft.
Medium 5 by 5 ft.
Large 10 by 10 ft.
Huge 15 by 15 ft.
Gargantuan 20 by 20 ft. or larger
