The basic stats for a death tyrant aren’t all too terrifying at first glance. Senses: Darkvision 120 ft., Passive Perception 22.Condition Immunities: Charmed, exhaustion, paralyzed, petrified, poisoned, prone.Saving Throws: Str +5, Con +7, Int +9, Wis, +7, Cha, +9.Hopefully, this format will make it a bit easier to digest the massive stat block that is attached to the death tyrant. The stats will still be listed, but instead of dropping all the stats at once and then talking about them, we’ll talk about each important piece of the stat block individually. We’ll still be doing something similar here, but seeing as the death tyrant has a wealth of actions that it can take, along with lair actions and regional effects, we’ll actually be doing it in a bit more of a piecemeal format. Typically, our monstrous feature pieces have the 5e stat block dropped in the beginning here, and then we go into more depth below talking about the creature’s tactics and how it would use its various attacks.

It’s a bit ironic because they themselves are aberrations, otherworldly beings with otherworldly powers. A large, floating, spherical body with a single eye and a great jaw would probably be enough to strike fear into your average adventurer, but the addition of 10 tentacle-like eye stalks definitely seals the deal.īeholders are greedy, hateful, xenophobic creatures. If not, let me just tell you that they are truly terrifying beings on the level of nightmarish eldritch horrors. If you’ve only been exposed to a few monsters from the mythos of D&D, the beholder is probably one of them.
