Chapter 6: Bestiary

At Mordenkainen's side, I thought of giants as a brutal menace threatening the very existence of the world I knew. Diancastra showed me just how small that world was. My eyes have been opened to a world that is much larger and far more ancient than I imagined.

Across the multiverse, giants are shaped by ancient traditions and a powerful connection to the Elemental Planes. This chapter describes dozens of giants and related creatures for use in your game. For guidance on how to use a creature's stat block, consult the 0 of the Monster Manual.

Herein you'll find weapons that deal unusual damage types and spellcasting that functions in atypical ways. Such an exception is a special feature of a monster and represents how it uses the weapon or casts its spells; the exception has no effect on how a weapon or a spell functions for others.

If a stat block contains the name of a class in the monster's name or in parentheses under the name, the monster is considered a member of that class for the purpose of meeting magic item prerequisites.

The monsters in this chapter are arranged in alphabetical order for ease of reference. Here's an overview of the creatures herein:

Tables at the end of this chapter list all the creatures herein by giant kind, challenge rating, and creature type.
