My favorite thing in DND as a kid was to just read through the monster manuals for hours! it was so alien and interesting to my young brain. And never before has someone made any content that scratched that itch so thoroughly!! Sick vid
I started with the old red book, my pops had all the old school stuff. (1st and 2nd edition) By the time I bought my own books it was 3/3.5. I too spent hours looking through all the crazy interesting creatures.
@@youthought.128 homie, the title of the vid lies about what it is, stop trying to soyjak all the people pointing that out. I saved this video to my watch later playlist thinking it was gonna be transformative content. I already read the monster manual so I was very disappointed that this video turned out to only be a transcription of it.

Fun fact; D&D’s undead are vary different from the common Hollywood zombie film you may have seen. These don’t die if you cut off it’s head, in fact they keep on moving for they have a promethean flame burning within that keeps them animate, this being Negative Energy from the Negative Energy plane, yes this is a real thing. It can come from anywhere from a Necromancer or Litch or possibly a cut in the vale.
Is this still true for dnd 5e? I've heard the earlier versions had negative energy and whatnot, but I don't think there's any mention of that in dnd 5e
i’ve never played DnD but this video is awesome.. i like to imagine that it would be cool to catch the flying sword and become its master, maybe just using it as a normal sword because it’s bad ass
I did that with my players and their minds just blew up when the NPC let go of their sword, and it just started floating with a mind of its own, creating a unique boss fight
Gotta say this video couldn’t have come out in a more perfect time. Just as I started to write my dnd campaign I see this amazing video. listing to this gives me such great inspiration. Good stuff my dude.
I kept wondering what you were talking about and then I looked at the tab playing the vid and figured out it was wild pronounciations of demi lich. Had a good laugh. Nice job with the video, what an immense project
Perfect for a quiet Saturday afternoon. There are many slides that don't match up with the audio however. Ie, Death Knights, and goblins for example. If you're just into the audio, you'll have no issues.
My 2 favorite (for whatever reason) we’re both the Eye of the Deep, and floating Gas spores… ever since I had my first monster manual (1983), those 2 have ALWAYS stuck with me🥰🥰🥰 Thank you for this👍👍👍
Listening to this video makes my work so much better. I like the way you formatted it but yeah not iceberg and I’m glad tbh bc an iceberg wouldn’t be as concise
4:03:14 My brother played a Kenku character whose method of communication involved having party members read aloud words or phrases on a sheet of paper so she basically had a "pre-recorded" library to choose from, hilariously similar to Jacket in Payday 2 communicating with an edited casette tape lmao
I went to the D&D museum (sort of museum, it's small but neat) in Wisconsin, the Dungeon Hobby Shop & Museum in Lake Geneva. It's only a couple hours away from where i live, I'd go again. Listening while making candles 🖤❤️✨️
Did my bro just say briefly then proceed to make a 6hr video? Bros on his Harry Potter 1 “a bit of light reading” *slams down a mighty huge book” type shit fr
Demiliches are not "lesser" liches, they are what a lich becomes once it has moved beyond the need for its physical body. They are magnitudes more powerful than a normal lich and certainly are not mindless.
Awesome but hilarious how each monster’s name pronunciation changes 6 times during each description. “The Demi-LITCH. The Demi-LIKE. The Demi-LEECH. The Demi-LICK. The Demi-LEE. The Demi-LECH.” 😂
Say "Demilich" like you say "Lich", it's not a "demolick" nor a "demilick". Also I'm pretty sure demiliches are stronger than normal liches: "Despite the name, a demilich was not a lesser lich, but rather a lich who had evolved beyond a need for its undead body"
2:30:30 Flameskull's come from one place and only one place that is undermount and no where else its like you don't even know anything at all about D&D Do you know why remove curse has any effect at all on them? Its because they are cursed not in the sense of someone cursed them but in the sense that their very existence is a curse
Hmmm…. Sea Hag - Medium Celestial, Lawful Good. Hmmmm something got a bit off on this one. There are several monsters that suffered the “Curse of Mislabeling” honestly as many creatures that are listed and explained here is extremely numerous (close to seven hours) and it’s understandable that a few got mislabeled. I am sure this video was a huge project but it was amazingly done and the longest piece of content I have ever watched. It’s fun to watch and follow along with my “5e Monster Manual”. I wish the very best of health and happiness to you all and your families!
as someone trying to get into DnD for the first time, this is incredibly helpful! i cannot afford the Monster Manuals, so your time and effort put into producing this video is immeasurably appreciated 🫶🏼
So you're telling me an elf wanted the attention of her God so bad she made a song SO beautiful it even captivated that God but afterwards in a rage the god warped her into a evil awful harpy.... I love dnd
This video was what I needed and didn't need at the same time. Became useless for references when I couldn't jump from them individually. Six hours and unable to jump around specifically, had to pass.
For me, DND is one of those games that is more fun to learn about than to actually play, similar to my great interest in warhammer 40k and whatnot. This is an awesome video. Instant subscription. Oh what i give to be a funny little knight living in a world of goofy murderous fantasy creatures 💙🩵💙🩵

For me it was MM3.5, what was yours?
When Deities & Demigods and Fiend Folio came out I pretty wore those binders also.
Same here.
I didn't have any friends either.
I read my brother in laws D&D books all the time. I love the lore of the D&D universe even though i have no real desire to play the actual game.

How much is it "the title lying" compared to this guy just not understanding what an iceberg is. Crying about nothing.
This is a massive lifesaver for my night shift job. Getting back into dnd after a few years with bg3 and this is exactly what I was hoping for.
If this had stat blocks along with every picture it would be the perfect reference guide for one who doesnt have a monster manual on hand....
It also would be double the work on a video that was already six hours long. You can easily look up the stat or find the information yourself online
5etools is your friend, my friend.
@@AzimechTheWise5etools is love. 5etools is life.

And this flame can be chipped away with nonmagical means(most of the time) although it is invisible to the naked eye.
why did you say "yes this is a real thing" ? Like you think we wouldnt believe you thats how it works in a fantasy game?

I am delighted to have found this video. I shall listen over the next several days. Thank you, and may your efforts find unmitigated success.
My favorite thing about Dungeons and Dragons is that the depth of the lore is so rich and vast that it can be enjoyed as though it were a documentary

Thanks! Will do!

I am a big fan of the beholder because it just screams DnD. As far as weak monsters go, I like Gnolls. For tough monsters, I love the tarrasque.
Love this insanely long D&D videos
Holy shit dude, props to this insane video. Must’ve taken an eternity to make.

Also the Gnoll part is bugged and substituted by the goblin part.
The Biggest DND Lore video, you are amazing, thank you
A great summary of the different Entities & Monsters. Thanks and also thanks for the time stamps.

Ive been searching for a vid like this! Lets goo! Bro should try reading older editions too cause those would be sick videos to watch
YOU DID SO GOOD!!
I hope this gets you a million+ views
The number of different wrong ways he manages to pronounce things is inspiring
A truly epic video! Thank you for putting in so much time and effort.
I went to the D&D museum (sort of museum, it's small but neat) in Wisconsin, the Dungeon Hobby Shop & Museum in Lake Geneva. It's only a couple hours away from where i live, I'd go again. Listening while making candles 🖤❤️✨️
THERE IS AN DND MUSEUM
So there IS a reason to go to Wisconsin. Wild.
back in the early days of gaming conventions, the biggest and best was "GenCon", originally held in Geneva, Wisconsin.
I think it's because of one of the famous names of D&D & one of it's creators Gary Gygax died in Geneva so it's in honor of him.
This is great to listen to while doing other stuff, it's been so long since I've DM'ed, this will help me catch up a little.
Great job. Thank you. The timestamps are key!
I just want you to know I appreciate your research and effort brother. I'm a truck driver and this shit is perfect
1:26:30 dinosaurs are celestial??
I love this video. I'm hoping you give us an updated version with the monsters from the supplemental materials.
Omg thank you for taking me away from scrolling for the next 6 hours.
gunna be listening to this as i fall asleep for a long time over
It took me 1 month to watch a 40 minute video while falling asleep, i think im good for a long time
lol same
Literally what I’m doing now
I love Behirs they hate dragons and they’re sentient. Such a fun monster.
Thank you! This will be perfect for my long drive today 🚗
Did my bro just say briefly then proceed to make a 6hr video? Bros on his Harry Potter 1 “a bit of light reading” *slams down a mighty huge book” type shit fr
*WHAM*
thank you for the chuckle! fond memories of those movies
Is no one discussing his pronunciations? They’re so
Nightmarish, I checked to see if it was a meme in the comments.
Sounds like machine learned voice tbh
Demiliches are not "lesser" liches, they are what a lich becomes once it has moved beyond the need for its physical body. They are magnitudes more powerful than a normal lich and certainly are not mindless.
Dude, this is awesome
Awesome but hilarious how each monster’s name pronunciation changes 6 times during each description.
“The Demi-LITCH. The Demi-LIKE. The Demi-LEECH. The Demi-LICK. The Demi-LEE. The Demi-LECH.”
😂
The title doesn't exactly fit. While a pleasant list sorted alphabetically and by type, it's not an iceberg video.
🤓👆
So did u watch or just come here to make an obvious comment?
@@TheFatuousKnight Fr
What does iceberg mean other than being ice
No one cares
At ~ 56:00 the death knight entry is inserted twice.
55:24 bro really called a cyclops a cyclo-pee 💀
That's how you pronounce the plural, "cyclopes".
Thank you sir I will use this like an encyclopedia
Holy 6 hours long, dam. Props, I'll play the whole thing.
Fantastic video, thanks for the gift!
Please please make a pt 2 with the supplemental material monsters. (Vollos, Mordekain's, MoM, etc)
Well done throughout much obliged
How is this video so low in views??? Great job, currently falling asleep to this
Maybe because the 6hr run time is too high CR for low level viewers
“Pfft. If a death knight is so good why don’t we have death night 2 yet”
Maker:
Say "Demilich" like you say "Lich", it's not a "demolick" nor a "demilick". Also I'm pretty sure demiliches are stronger than normal liches: "Despite the name, a demilich was not a lesser lich, but rather a lich who had evolved beyond a need for its undead body"
