The roaches mate annually, and the parents abandon the eggs shortly after laying them. Young rock roaches band together for the first few months of life, protecting each other as they devour the rock where they hatched, then dispersing once they are large enough to defend themselves.  \n**Valuable Carapace.** The carapace of a rock roach is sought after by some groups of underground humanoids.

Their skin is pale, shrunken, and withered, and their teeth are yellow and jagged with receded gums.  \n**Hunger for Hearts.** Gaunt ones have an inherent hunger for hearts and often sit quietly for hours, listening for the heartbeats of nearby creatures. A gaunt one grabs hold of its prey and worms its tentaclelike tongue into the creature’s mouth to extract the creature’s heart. Insatiable, a gaunt one continues to eat the hearts of creatures it finds until there is nothing left to harvest.

Experienced sailors sometimes chum the waters as they approach a kelp forest, hoping to attract other large ocean predators to distract the local kelp eels.  \n**Deep Hunters.** While kelp eels live and breed in shallower waters, it isn’t uncommon for them to hunt the ocean deeps if fertilizer is proving scarce near their forest.

When the noise grows shrillest, alien runes alight across its golden surfaces._  \n**Secret Keepers.** The people of Leng are renowned traders, and it once occurred to a Leng inventor that knowledge is the most valuable trade good. That inventor’s identity is one of the many secrets the first repository faithfully keeps. These constructs are built for the reception, transmission, and safeguarding of information, and even those that don’t hold particularly coveted information still defend their charges with lethal force. Repositories sometimes hold secrets within their consciousness, a task made easier by the fact that these creatures can understand all languages. Others hold physical recordings of information within their chest cavities.  \n**Master of Language.** A repository exists to protect and trade information, and as such, it knows and can translate all languages. Its programming allows it to wield this mastery of language as a physical weapon. A repository can also use the power of language as a psychic assault, uttering words of power to attack the very minds of its enemies.  \n**Right Tool for the Job.** The chest cavity of a repository contains an extradimensional space that functions like a bag of holding, granting the repository the ability to pull out any tool that may be required. Most repositories keep sets of common tools stashed inside their chests, including thieves’ tools and smith’s tools. Some repositories, however, are equipped with specialized tools or magic items, depending on the creatures’ purpose at creation. Similarly, a repository can store anything it needs to protect in this extra-dimensional space. The repository is the only creature capable of retrieving items from this space while it is alive. When a repository is destroyed, its chest cavity becomes accessible to anyone that reaches inside its pyramidal form; however, the power holding this extra-dimensional space together fades after 1 hour. An object in the extra-dimensional space when it fades is destroyed. A creature in the extra-dimensional space when it fades is deposited in a random location on the Astral Plane.  \n**Construct Nature.** A repository doesn’t require air, food, drink, or sleep.","name":"Repository","size":"Medium","type":"Construct","subtype":"","group":null,"alignment":"unaligned","armor_class":15,"armor_desc":"natural armor","hit_points":110,"hit_dice":"13d8+52","speed":{"walk":30},"strength":19,"dexterity":10,"constitution":18,"intelligence":16,"wisdom":12,"charisma":6,"strength_save":null,"dexterity_save":null,"constitution_save":null,"intelligence_save":null,"wisdom_save":null,"charisma_save":null,"perception":null,"skills":{},"damage_vulnerabilities":"","damage_resistances":"bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing from nonmagical attacks not made with adamantine weapons","damage_immunities":"poison, psychic","condition_immunities":"charmed, exhaustion, frightened, paralyzed, petrified, poisoned","senses":"darkvision 120 ft., passive Perception 11","languages":"all","challenge_rating":"7","cr":7.0,"actions":[{"name":"Multiattack","desc":"The repository makes two slash attacks."},{"name":"Slash","desc":"Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.

Those born to monstrous humanoids with wings or horns have ineffective, decorative versions that do not help the creature fly or fight.  \n**Emotional Echoes.** Broodikens have little personality of their own and respond to their creators’ emotions, growling when their creators feel anger and babbling happily when their creators feel joy. When their creators are more than 100 feet away, they cry loudly with a sound that resembles children of the creator’s own species. If discovered crying by anyone other than their creator, they attack. When their creators focus their anger on specific individuals, the broodikens attack as a group, using Stealth to get close and overwhelm single opponents.  \n**Born With Daggers.** Broodikens are created by eating the heart of a dead broodiken. Once this “seed” is consumed, 2d4 broodikens grow inside of the “mother” or creator. Nurturing the growing brood requires consuming specific muds, ashes, and plants, which cost 50 gp/day for each incubating broodiken. The incubation period requires one month and takes a toll on the creator’s health. During this time, the creator becomes fatigued after four hours without eight hours’ rest.  \nIf the creator is not a spellcaster, a spellcaster who meets the requirements below must supervise the incubation and birth. Most spellcasters birth the broodiken using a dagger before the broodiken tears its way out. A “mother” can only control one brood of broodiken at a time.

When inhaled, mindrot spores enter the brain through the bloodstream. As the fungus grows, it dissolves the host’s body and slowly replaces the creature’s flesh with its own.  \nThe fungus’s first target is the motor function of the brain. It takes control of the creature’s movement while the victim is still alive and fully conscious—but no longer controls his or her own body! Indeed, sensory awareness may be the last function that the fungus attacks. Eventually, even the victim’s skin and muscle are replaced with fungal fibers. At that point, the affected creature no longer looks like its former self. Such a newly-born mindrot thrall conceals its alarming appearance under heavy robes or cloaks so it can travel without causing alarm.  \n**Spore Blisters.** A thrall’s skin is taut and waxy. Blisters form just beneath the surface, and when they grow as large as a child’s fist they burst, releasing a spray of spores. It seeks to infect as many new victims as possible during the few weeks that it survives in humanoid form. At the end of that time, the thrall shrivels to a dried, vaguely humanoid husk. Even a dead mindrot thrall, however, is still dangerous because its half-formed spore blisters can remain infectious for months. Disturbing the husk can burst these blisters and trigger a Mindrot Spores attack.  \n**Dimensional Horrors.** Wizards hypothesize the fungus was brought to the mortal world by a shambling horror crossing through a dimensional portal. The remoteness of that wasteland is likely whythe mindrot fungus hasn’t destroyed whole cities, though someday it may find a more fertile breeding ground.","name":"Mindrot Thrall","size":"Medium","type":"Plant","subtype":"","group":null,"alignment":"neutral","armor_class":15,"armor_desc":"natural armor","hit_points":82,"hit_dice":"11d8+33","speed":{"walk":30},"strength":15,"dexterity":14,"constitution":17,"intelligence":11,"wisdom":14,"charisma":6,"strength_save":null,"dexterity_save":null,"constitution_save":5,"intelligence_save":null,"wisdom_save":null,"charisma_save":null,"perception":null,"skills":{},"damage_vulnerabilities":"","damage_resistances":"bludgeoning and piercing from nonmagical attacks","damage_immunities":"acid, poison","condition_immunities":"charmed, frightened, poisoned","senses":"tremorsense 30 ft., passive Perception 12","languages":"understands Common but cannot speak","challenge_rating":"3","cr":3.0,"actions":[{"name":"Multiattack","desc":"The mindrot thrall makes two claw attacks."},{"name":"Claw","desc":"Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.

Two translucent horns protrude from its snout, the frontmost of which looks like a scimitar._  \n**Elemental-Touched Rhino.** A cryoceros resembles a woolly rhinoceros made of ice. Its thick, frozen hide protects the soft flesh at its core, and a layer of ice forms over its already formidable, keratinous horns. The creature’s body is efficient at transferring warmth to its fleshy interior; fire still harms a cryoceros, but its icy form is not unduly damaged by fiery attacks. A cryoceros has a second stomach that stores ice it consumes. As a defense mechanism, the cryoceros can spew stinging, pulverized ice from this alternate stomach.  \n**Slow Metabolisms.** Cryoceroses survive on stunted grasses and other plants that thrive in the tundra, as well as ice and snow, to replenish their icy exteriors. Despite their size, they don’t require a great deal of sustenance, and they conserve their energy by slowly grazing across frozen plains. Their ponderous movement fools the unwary into believing that distance equals safety. Indeed, cryoceroses endure much provocation before they decide to act, but they run at and spear or crush those who irritate them. Once their ire is up, they rarely give up pursuing the source of their anger; only by leaving their vast territories can one hope to escape them.  \n**Cantankerous Mounts.** Gentleness and a regular source of food temporarily earns the cryoceroses’ trust, and patient humanoids can manage to train the creatures to accept riders. This works for convenience much more than for combat, since cryoceroses balk at fighting with loads on their backs. A cryoceros in combat with a rider either stands stock still until its rider dismounts or, worse, rolls over to throw its rider, often crushing the rider in the process. Because of this, most tribes who train cryoceroses use the creatures as beasts of burden rather than war mounts.","name":"Cryoceros","size":"Large","type":"Monstrosity","subtype":"","group":null,"alignment":"unaligned","armor_class":15,"armor_desc":"natural armor","hit_points":133,"hit_dice":"14d10+56","speed":{"walk":40},"strength":19,"dexterity":11,"constitution":18,"intelligence":3,"wisdom":13,"charisma":8,"strength_save":null,"dexterity_save":null,"constitution_save":null,"intelligence_save":null,"wisdom_save":null,"charisma_save":null,"perception":null,"skills":{"athletics":7},"damage_vulnerabilities":"","damage_resistances":"bludgeoning, cold","damage_immunities":"","condition_immunities":"","senses":"passive Perception 11","languages":"—","challenge_rating":"6","cr":6.0,"actions":[{"name":"Gore","desc":"Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 10 ft., one creature.

After the houndmaster was ostracized for keeping monstrous pets, he grew resentful and concluded that the fey lord had wronged him.

Thin, blue-gray tendrils cover almost every inch of its body, and it smells faintly of burnt honey._  \n**Incorrigible Kleptomaniacs.** Few creatures cause as much annoyance to shopkeepers, merchants, and farmers as the valkruung, a tiny monkey-like creature covered in grasping tendrils that lurks atop roofs and clambers through trees, looking for food and objects to steal. Attracted to anything that glitters, jangles, or just plain smells nice, the valkruung steals anything regardless of its actual worth. Valkruungs snatch purses from unsuspecting passersby and fruit and bread from vendors to take back to their lairs. They steal objects they don’t need and refuse to return them, running off while snickering wildly.  \n**Shrines of Riches.** Anything a valkruung steals and doesn’t eat is placed in a central location in its nest, often around an existing statue, altar, or other large object. Eventually, this object becomes covered in a variety of clutter, some of which may be valuable. A valkruung treats all of its objects equally and attacks anyone who tries to take something from the pile.  \n**Den of Thieves.** Valkruungs are social creatures and live in groups of ten to twenty. The job of child-rearing is shared by all members of the group equally, and young valkruungs spend the first parts of their lives carried around on various adults’ backs, where the adults’ tendrils keep them safe. Valkruungs are more intelligent than they appear and have a rudimentary grasp of language, typically insults that have been hurled their way.","name":"Valkruung","size":"Tiny","type":"Monstrosity","subtype":"","group":null,"alignment":"chaotic neutral","armor_class":13,"armor_desc":null,"hit_points":22,"hit_dice":"4d6+8","speed":{"climb":20,"walk":25},"strength":8,"dexterity":16,"constitution":14,"intelligence":5,"wisdom":12,"charisma":9,"strength_save":null,"dexterity_save":null,"constitution_save":null,"intelligence_save":null,"wisdom_save":null,"charisma_save":null,"perception":null,"skills":{"acrobatics":5,"stealth":5},"damage_vulnerabilities":"","damage_resistances":"","damage_immunities":"","condition_immunities":"","senses":"darkvision 60 ft., passive Perception 11","languages":"Common, Goblin","challenge_rating":"1/2","cr":0.5,"actions":[{"name":"Claws","desc":"Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.
