Issue 55 of d12 Monthly has landed – and it’s an icky one.
This issue is all about oozes and shapechangers: creatures too frightening and insidious to think about, let alone face. And how you can fit them into your campaign world.
Unlike most bestiaries, this one focuses on the world-building aspects of monsters.
Oozes and Shapechangers are both terrible creatures – both hidden where you least expect – and can easily kill adventurers if the players are not careful.
Bestiary: Oozes & Shapechangers focuses on making these creatures dangerous, memorable, and campaign-shaping. See below for the creatures I have included in this issue.
