USING THE MONSTER REFERENCE TABLE

1. Print the table for reference during the game, possibly as part of a custom DM screen.

2. Use the last column to randomly select monsters for wandering monsters or for dungeon
stocking. The monsters are ordered by Hit Dice, with roughly 12 monsters per level. For a
completely random selection, roll a d8 (re-roll 8s) and a d12. For low-level monsters, roll a d3 (or
d4) and a d12. For # appearing, the total HD of monsters should roughly equal the total levels of
the party.

3. Generate new monsters by rolling independently in each column. Use the results for inspiration;
change or re-roll anything that doesn’t fit the others.

Example
Column: Roll = Result
Type: 5-7 = Mummy/Undead
HD: 6-11 = 9
DMG × AT: 3-1 = 1-6 × 1 [I doubled the damage below]
AC: 5-6 = 3
MV: 2-11 = 120
AL: 4-4 = LE
TT: 1-11 = Q [I added B below]
Characteristics: (roll twice; pick one from each. Re-roll if it doesn’t make sense):
3-8 = Shrieking
6-1 = Silver/magic to hit
Habits (roll twice, take 1st listed and then 2nd listed, if applicable):
6-7 = fierce; 1-1 = rushes

Caterwauling Corpse-worm
Move: 120 feet/turn
Hit Dice: 9
Armor Class: 3
Treasure Type: Q, B
Alignment: lawful evil
Attacks: 1 bite
Damage: 2-12

The undead corpse of a purple worm animated by evil spirits of the deep. The lower hit
dice than a living worm reflects desiccation and decay. When a corpse-worm spots a living
creature it will burst forward at unnatural speed (triple movement), producing a hideous sound as
air rushes through small holes in its body. A character that hears this must Save vs. Turned to
Stone or be frozen with fear. As with living worms, a victim is swallowed by any hit that is 2 over
the minimum required. However, the lack of a working digestive system means the victim is not
further harmed but is trapped inside the worm. Escape is not possible without a silver or magic
weapon (requiring three successful attack rolls by the victim) or unless the worm is killed. They
are filled with the bones and possessions of victims who were swallowed and could not escape.
The tail stinger has atrophied and is not used for attack. Turned as a vampire; only damaged by
silver or magic weapons.
