Monster source review

Supplied references

The 2025 Monster Manual is the primary source for its revised monsters. The supplied 2024 Player’s Handbook supplies spell-created and companion creatures. Existing complete SRD blocks cover the two Dungeon Master’s Guide creatures. All reference files are read-only, and their SHA-256 fingerprints were checked before and after extraction.

Printed rules and searchable text

The Monster Manual scan has OCR errors. Links to the original PDFs preserve access to the printed rules without risking changed dice or save DCs. Verified text remains useful for searching, but the printed reference is authoritative. All pages give their source page numbers.

Older variants and named creatures (15)

These pages contain a complete revised base reference, rather than a nonexistent individual revised stat block. Old variant-specific abilities have not been silently carried into the 2024 rules. Acererak has a Demilich base reference, not a unique revised Acererak block.

Images removed

Embedded artwork and rulebook screenshots have been removed to reduce vault size. Source page links point to the original PDFs in dnd_refs. Searchable text is retained, but some complete tables and stat blocks require opening those PDFs.

Age variants

The Faerie Dragon page includes both revised Youth and Adult blocks. Use the appropriate age rather than a single generic stat line.
