Nordic Monsters brings you 80 pages of incredible creatures for your 5e campaign! You’ll find an awesome array of magnificent monsters from the myths and legends of Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Greenland, and Iceland, from every type and Level! Challenge your heroes with minor minions like the ghostly bysen and tricksy Yule Lads to titanic terrors like Fafnir, and Fenris Wolf! You’ll find tons of new mythological monsters like jotuns, trolls, linnorms, and valkyries, alongside folkloric foes never before seen in RPGs like the snake-spitting syöjätär, guardian vörðr spirits, piru plague maidens, and illhveli demon-whales! Not every monster is a menace, as you’ll also find friendly fey like the haltija and saunatonttu and wise guardians like the benevolent bjarndýrakóngur alongside mystic steeds like the sleipnir, gullinbursti, and tarngrisnir! You’ll find supernatural undead brute wights, resinous frost firs, and more, plus Scandinavian animals like the arctic fox, giant lynx, and tundra wolf. You also get bonus appendices containing mythic templates, feats, and rules for fighting giant foes, as well as a pronunciation guide for Old Norse and modern Nordic languages!
