Saving Throes # 129 - 6 Great & Uncommon D&D Monsters for a Horror Scenario

Welcome to the Saving Throes podcast! This is my Tabletop role-playing game podcast, part of the Red Rooster's Gaming Coop network where I talk gaming and gaming culture every week. Each episode will feature a topic or theme along with my take on current happenings in the world of tabletop role-playing games and semi regular updates on the games I am currently involved with, or new games or products I have come across.

Halloween is approaching fast, and it is this time of year many people will want to get into the spirit and run a spooky one-shot or have a horror side quest in their current campaign. It's easy to throw a couple of ghosts, a Vampire and a Werewolf in there to make seasonally appropriate, but there are so many other options you could be choosing from across the editions of D&D! I wanted to suggest 6 uncommon monsters that would be an excellent choice for a horror game, but ones that don't immediately come to mind. These are monsters that will creep your players out and potentially shock them - perfect for this time of year! Tune in to get some nasty Monster ideas that your players probably won't be suspecting.
