DnD gals want the one thing, and its to make some ridiculously cool badass armor. Admittedly my perspective is very limited.

Freybug - Dracopedia the Beastiary by William O'Connor

[cicadadust]

Woo, this is from awhile ago. But I'm posting it now!

A return of my Freybug OCs! A group inspired by both Gintama and FMA.

Felt like drawing bust shots because I was finally getting comfortable with drawing noses too.

But we got Fester with the dark green hair, Rosabud (finally managed to draw them for the first time ever after never being satisfied with designs beforehand:')) with the black, white, and red hair, Archer the Blondie, Augustus aka, Auggie, with the red hair, and last but not least Kokua with the light green hair!

I've also come to realize Kokua and Archer have a relationship like Sanji and Zoro from One Piece, while also both having green and blond hair.

The Freybug is a black dog in English folklore. It is said to be the size of a calf (a common description of English black dogs), and terrorises travellers on quiet country roads. Most stories of this phantom hound come from Norfolk.

The legend of the Freybug dates back to at least 1555, when Protestant martyr Laurence Saunders mentioned the beast in a letter to his wife. Spelled "Fray-bug," it also appears in the Oxford as an "object of fear" and a "bogy spectre."

In a letter to his wife, dated 1555, English martyr Laurence Saunders told her of his witnessing “fray-bugs”. A fray-bug is known as “an object of fear; a bogy, spectre”, and the word was later morphed into the Freybug by John Brand’s analysis of Saunders’ letter. Typical description of the Freybug is a black dog about the size of a calf with red eyes - typical of other black dog legends. It is said to roam the roads of Norfolk, England, casting fear into the souls of people who it happens across.

Daily D&D Monster: Shadow Mastiff

Or, as they're more famously known as: black dogs. We've already covered hellhounds and the barghest, but there are so many other varieties to speak about. The one most people may recognize is the Hairy Jack, a ghostly breed which forms up a majority of sightings. Generally they're just like regular dogs, except you can't see them all the time and when you do you never forget. Meaner Jacks are often called Padfoot, but it's arguable whether or not that's a real breed. I've already talked loads about barghests, the canine house elf/hunting dog of the fey, but a smaller breed exists in the Capelthwaite. Often more amicable and less shy than their larger cousins. To counteract this friendliness are the Black Shuck and Pesanta, two breeds that seem to actively wish malice upon people. Black Shucks are like coyotes: prone to running away but can menace people from afar. Some confuse them with Barghests, but the distinction is active. Catalan Pesanta on the other hand are almost like bogeymen; steel skeletons wrapped in a dog's coat, able to squeeze into cracks to chase down their quarry and even pursue them in their dreams like nightmares. Often, Church Grim are put in place to battle malevolent spirits like these. The recipe for creating a Grim comes from the Scandinavian Peninsula, and no matter what shape of animal is buried under the church they all seem to act similar. Despite being protectors they're also pretty dang scary, as they don't do things that living dogs do, like eat or breathe or react to hugs. In a twist on the Church Grim is the Freybug, Western Europe's answer to the ghoul. Even though they're on this list, they're closer to goblins and other fey than black dogs. Freybug mimic other black dogs, but abuse the trust of humans by patrolling graves and occasionally digging them up for a meal. But Grims can send them packing no problem. They're nothing compared to elfs and trolls.

Local DnD party can't be bothered with quest boss monster anymore. Context:

Dahlia's group went off to rescue kidnapped children in the sewers, and along the way they dunked on a boneclaw monster. Dahlia spared it but that only managed to piss it off. The quest was successfully finished and the monster returned again. I think it was expecting to fight but Dahlia kinda just brushed it off. The sheer impudence I suppose.

Never EVER underestimate a druid's power to do bullshit.
