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.
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
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👍👍👍
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 🖤❤️✨️
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.
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.
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
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
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"
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.
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
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
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.” 😂
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
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!
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.
Fun fact: at the time this video was posted there were....6? 5e monster source books. Meaning just reading the monster manual doesn't constitute "complete," even for 5th Edition.
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 🫶🏼
the appearance of a good hearted fiend is "almost" inconceivable? Nope, it is outright impossible. Fiends (demon and Devil alike) are similar to elemental creature. Being made of a pure essence of Evil (law and evil for devil and chaos and evil for Demons) Hoping for a "good hearted fiend" is like hope for a wet fire elemental Sure in your homebrew campaign you do what you want, but if you respect the lore it is as plausible to find a good hearted fiend as it is to find a wet fire elemental. Sure you could FORCE a summoned devil to do a good deed, just as you could throw a bucket of water on a fire mephit... But at the point, it's not the devil who good hearted (or the fire mephit who naturally wet) it's you a mortal from the material plane who force them in that situation.
Good thing I can because that is immensely boring. Pathfinder Wrath of Righteous's best character is repentant succubus, its an incredible story. Goos thing they didnt "respect the lore"

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.
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.
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.
What I expected:
DnD Creature Iceberg
What I got:
Monster manual audiobook
☝️🤓
Even better
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?

It's AI generated, he says demi-lich then demileech then demileah in the same sentence

Just what I needed for my 10 hour shift almost 7 hrs video thank u 🙏
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.
Great video man, must of taken a while. Love the BG3 music in the background every once and a while
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👍👍👍
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.
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
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.

The number of different wrong ways he manages to pronounce things is inspiring
I was putting off this video until i had a day off, but instead I'm listening to it at work
Timestamps too? Above and beyond, my friend. Gonna enjoy this vid
Thanks mate. Cheers.
Always loved D&D, keep up the content bro👍🏻
Thanks! Will do!
I’m about to go to sleep. This video will still be playing when I wake up. Thank you very much sir.

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
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.”
😂
A great summary of the different Entities & Monsters. Thanks and also thanks for the time stamps.
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:
I cant believe I've watched it all diligently
55:24 bro really called a cyclops a cyclo-pee 💀
That's how you pronounce the plural, "cyclopes".
I just love 7 hrs videos at this point. Doesn't matter what it is about.
Nice content, tho.
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
I just want you to know I appreciate your research and effort brother. I'm a truck driver and this shit is perfect
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.
The Biggest DND Lore video, you are amazing, thank you
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
Is no one discussing his pronunciations? They’re so
Nightmarish, I checked to see if it was a meme in the comments.
YOU DID SO GOOD!!
I hope this gets you a million+ views
I feel like im being gaslit watching this
Care to explain a bit? Genuinely interested!
A 7hr video?! Holy shit man, gonna take me a while to finish this one.
I love this video. I'm hoping you give us an updated version with the monsters from the supplemental materials.
Thank you! This will be perfect for my long drive today 🚗
Omg thank you for taking me away from scrolling for the next 6 hours.
The Neverwinter Nights soundtrack in the background really ties the nostalgia together for me. ❤❤❤
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?

Let's play a little game with this!
For any (or even every) creature you choose, roll a D20. 11 and up means you survive the encounter 😂 Good luck!
Update: If you choose to make this a game with friends, DO NOT make it a drinking game 😂
Holy 6 hours long, dam. Props, I'll play the whole thing.
Amazing content, and great storytelling behind it. But the butchering of the names! Gah It's still a spectacular video!
Oh God, I'm going to need some more snacks for this fuckin' beast of an Iceberg. Let's go, baby!
Was excited for this video untill I learned it was just plagiarized nearly word for word from the monster manual
Almost got me there
omg so much lore ! love dnd !🥰
Making my husband watch one hour of this with me after work every day like it's our new show
This is a great dming tool if you don’t or can’t flip a book for hours. I’m just taking screenshots of monsters I’ll look up and use.
Bro, I'm literally commenting on my own comment, all of the notable enemies for my first campaign 😅
Ok I think is pretty Pog that you are using the Neverwinter nights BGM on your video
Please please make a pt 2 with the supplemental material monsters. (Vollos, Mordekain's, MoM, etc)
In a book I had on Demons and Devil's, the only difference between them is, a Devil is Lawful Evil, and a Demon is Chaotic Evil.
this sounds like it was narrated with an AI voice mimic
i have never wanted to watch a 6 hour video so badly
This is awesome. Thank you
At ~ 56:00 the death knight entry is inserted twice.
