As the person responsible for creating this little critter I am very happy to see this kind of video. It certainly gives DMs a plethora of ideas for how to use the fragrant one in a game (since we have limited space for fluff in a book like this). And yes, it was inspired by virtually every intelligent slug creature in cinema and literature. Hopefully, you'll cover one of my other monsters in the book (I did about 65-70 of them).
And I'm the one who receive the honor to illustrate this one. It is remarkably one of the most interesting creature I've ever worked on :)
Just the way to start the day
*"WWHHOOOO AAAARRREEE YYOOOOUUUUU?"*
more kobold press please!!! their books are filled with the craziest monsters
Perfect timing for my fae campaign. Great content!
Barbarian: POCKET SALT! *tosses salt into it's face
This creature could be played to such torturous effects on the players. Like using the party pet or mascot as a shield... as a DM... I love it. Thank you, AJ.
What a cool monster. Could be an excellent recurring adventure hook.
Their Giant Hedgehog enemy is Spiney Norman - “Dinsdale!”
So... these are the ultimate, slacker-loafers of D&D.
Perfect way to kick off the day. Yes Alice in wonderland meets D&D 😁
I love how the sage edit from halloween is just a staple of the channel now.
Hello AJ, interesting creature! They sound like little Jedi's. I could see them as hermits, spys or even as guides.
I know you probably have a huge list of video request. If you don't mind adding one more :-D "Corpse Flower".
Thanks AJ & have a wonderful day.
Another excellent creature to add to the slaving syndicate. They would be great at the bottom of the totem pole. After them you get neogi. Then deepspawn. Than aboleths.
All hail his majesty, God Emperor Leto.
LOL, somewhat accurate.
Please do the hooded horse from the same book, it’s too good to pass up
The reference to Labyrinth cracked me up. I"ll never forget the classic exchange between Sarah and the worm!🤣🤣🤣
I was brainstorming new monsters recently and I came up with the Snail-tiger, a snail of the rough shape and size of a tiger. It's massive shell with multiple hooked spikes makes for both good armor and weapon. The head has two eye stalks jutting out on either side and a large maw of teeth.
You should look up what a tiger smell is in real life the way they attack is is pretty wicked and perhaps you could the colorations of the real life tiger snow in conjunction with the D&D attributes you would like to give it I don't know just throwing that out there as a fellow DM
I love that little critter! In the thumbnail, I too thought of the caterpillar from Alice in Wonderland... then it morphed into more like that mind-controlling super-intelligent worm from DC Comic's Shazam/Captain Marvel. I also have a myconid type homebrew that's similar.
Ah yes Mister mind.
Very Cool! Thank you AJ for being an Awesome TH-cam Creator! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I will all ways ask for lore from Kobold Press .
YES!!! I’ve been loving all the monsters in TOB2, I just can’t put this book down. Every monster is so unique and I’m so glad you’re talking about them!!
I like the idea of having one in the party as a quest giver. Fun way to let PCs question their own free will in thier adventures.
What a great mob!! Your points on its mental abilities inspires me to run some fun social encounters. This will be a nice change of pace from the door kicking, hack and slash dungeon dives that I usually prepare for my players.
definitely inspired by wonderland
I've been watching your videos for about 8 months and I gotta say you're the best dnd scholar I've heard, you could narrate nature and history documentaries easily
Thank you!
@@AJPickett you're welcome, thank you some of your videos have helped me a lot the like your one on spell books inspired me to start making my own I just haven't figured out what wood to use I was thinking yew and since I can't afford vellum I figured out a way to treat baking parchment paper so it retains ink but still has the same strength and burn resistance
@@thomastruant8837 you may want to try sapient pearwood or Walnut.
@@AJPickett I can find black walnut limbs after a heavy storm, thanks if I can get some practice in I'll definitely have send you a blank book
I'm often called a Fragrant One
Wow, that was really interesting! I'd love to see some more stuff from this new book
Also great video I would love to see more from creatures codex!
A monster so terrifying it must not be named. a monster so fragrant it can destroy worlds
I rolled a 6 ♍️
Now they just need a hookah pipe and ‘magical’ herbs to smoke
Also known as Opium
AJ Pickett Thank you.
Listening at work
Im running a Feywild campaign, so anything fey would be super welcome!
Know any evil and good gods? I want to make them have a who's better contest by using my pc.
Yes more.
A fascinating idea. I think I could add one of these to my underdark campaign. I have a “frontier town” in the upper dark that has a lot of species and races from deeper parts of the world. It’s got arena fighting, narcotics dens, a crashed mindspider spelljammer, and, of course, slave pits. I think a chaotic evil or chaotic neutral fragrant one would fit in perfectly. Looks like I’ll give some of Kobold Press’ other works a look. Thanks AJ!
A crime boss!
@@jacobnoelle8428 Oooooh... that sounds perfect. The headquarters will definitely be a narcotics den. Now the only question is, what voice to give him...
...Is it wrong that it is *very* easy for me to imagine Marlon Brando's voice coming from a smug slug crimeboss?
Brand new AJ video! And Kobold's Press as well! very lovely work.
Are you going to do more time of beasts/tome of beasts 2/ creature codex videos? That would be awesome!
Absolutely
There was an interesting book from Forgotten Realms I think it was called Innsfall?
The Insect race (formians I assume) were mentally enslaving other races but could only control them as long as they were in sight range and not already distracted themselves. So these mixed bag of enemies would snap in and out of consciousness as they were fighting... and once they were dragged away from the influence they would admit not remembering anything for almost a week sometimes two...
Very interesting!
Its always a joy to see these videos posted so early as it was about 6:00 am where i am when i got the notification keep up the fantastic work AJ.
Was this one of the creatures The Spoony One encountered during one of his Counter Monkey episodes? I believe he escaped using something called "bardic song" (I'm going off memory) by blasting loud music on his lute and shouting instructions to his party members that they were being mind controlled.
COUNTER SONG FUCKING COUNTER SONG
Well. This ought to confuse the druid of my group. Unassuming caterpillar creature that will charm the rest of the party. Awwww how cute! 😈
When you mentioned the Puffball Carriage I thought of the Sedan Chair from Howl's Moving Castle that the Witch of the Wastes rides around in
Oh man, I love that movie.
More from the tomb of beasts 2 please.
Ooo I need to get my hands on the Kobold Press monster books, but it's hard to come by being in Australia
I'll level with you, i read Pepper Oni and was so confused
Why do I imagine a fragrant one with a harem of charmed pixies...?
Either Jabba the Fey-Hutt or you have a particular ...interest... with petite women and slimy...ya know what? To each their own!
I don’t know but if they sound anything like Alan Rickman I wouldn’t be surprised.
People actually won a contest and have their monsters added to the the book. It be neat if you found out which ones they were and do a short video summing them up.
I know them
they are reall fun to mess up a groupe xD took my players a while to see thru his shenanigans but aufter they did the fragrant one got a one way ticket to the demiplane of salt xD
Always love the quality content you're putting out AJ! Always learning somethin' new!
If you don't mind me asking, how do you go about selecting the art you utilize for your videos? I'm looking to start a channel about my style of DMing and sharing the copious amount of homebrew content i've created over the years. Would like to use some awesome art i've found online to help visualize some ideas but don't want to get hit with the infamous copy right strikes or anything. Any insights you might be able to share?
1. Always abide by the wishes of artists whose work appears in any of your videos 100%, I'd even say go 150% above and beyond to respect their rights and wishes, and when possible, work to promote their work and careers in everything you do. 2. Always list the artists' name along with their work where you can, google image search can be time-consuming, so I suggest source art images from sites where the artists are posting their own work, as opposed to Reddit or Pinterest where it is usually a copy of a copy of an image with no link to the original artist, but, take the time to search for the artist online. 3. All my interactions with actual artists over the years I have been making videos have been positive, any concerns of the artists have been dealt with, I have only had to remove one bit of art from a video in all this time. About 99% of comments that make accusations of your motives or rights to use artwork will be from people who have not had any artwork in any of your videos, or indeed, people who are not professional artists but instead have appointed themselves as 'advocates' for the artists. They mean well but are typically in need of more accurate information and experience. 4. If in doubt, always ask the artist, and respect their answers.
Ok I'm going to have to get Tome of Beasts II
Thank you.
Ecology of Dire Corbi?
I've met a few people in my life that, as crazy as it seems, were scared of slugs. This might be a good thing to show to them for a little fun next time I come across one... Seriously though, slugs, how can you be scared of slugs. Something you can easily kill with a little table salt.
All I’m hearing is slugfriend who is more reliable than my real friends
That's really sad. My condolences. My friends tend to shun me but at least they are almost as real with me as I am with them and are far more reliable than me.
Do more kobold press!!! The midgard setting is so goood
From last video Hellfire is red, so? Hellfrost(white), hellbolt (blue), what are black and green called? Hellwood(green) and Soulmelter (black)? From last stream:What's you're opinion on am "emperor" type character that follows the Illithids back in time. Instead of conquer the galaxy for mankind, it would be "rid the universe of Mind Flayers and prepare the material plane against the cancerous Abyss. (If there are any left, I figure goodly mortals would defend the portal atop mt. Celestia) edit:sorry for reposting, just really want to know
3:43 Actually that's a lot cooler of a reference, I like hearing the Labyrinth pop up more anyway.
Hey Aj how would you do lore for a weresnail? Indestructboy made stats for one on his channel and I was wondering what would be a good origin story for them.🐌
Hmmm, I will give it some thought... after the Ixitzachtl video
@@AJPickett dang it Aj I already sold my soul to Pazuzu for the Ixitxachitls video! There's only so many times you can sell your soul!
I'm having Junji Ito flashbacks from Uzumaki.
Another reason to continue the genocide against the Feywild. I'd have a war in my story launched by the Hobgoblins who have magically held open a portal to the Feywild and are trying to summon monsters from the hemi-demi-semi plane of Salt.
I love me some Tome of Beasts
'allo...come inside and meet the missus.
Did you just say "Hello"?
No I said "Ello".
This monster is ripe for templates. Sure an undeadish version would be scary, puffing plumes of necrotic vapor. However I think a far realm version or a fiendish version would be twice as terrifying.
With an intelligence of 18, the undead fragrant one is probably a lich
But they don't die as fey do they?
@@jacobnoelle8428 could be an argument against undead fey
@@mrl9418 more of an argument against WILLING undead fey
Need to run an alice themed mini campaign now lol
You'd have to convert it into a newer format but there is a module called "dungeon land" and it more or less plays through the story of Alice in wonderland
Here there be Dragons. Enjoyed! 🐲🐉
Now we know what baby Yoda is. :D
The fragrant one can only charm six peeps at once so....
More related to your recent community post about non-D&D content but: I wanted to say your content has made me enjoy DM’ing d&d more than I had before I found you. I got into RPG’s by just reading WoD and Exalted initially and, especially for Exalted; the depth of the setting always seemed sooo much more attractive to me than D&D. I feel like WotC’s books leave the feeling of depth lacking, and you have absolutely helped to broaden the worlds of D&D for me. My players are close to finishing Curse of Strahd and due to your influence they’re about to come into possession of a spelljamming vessel so we can explore strange new worlds and civilizations ;). Aka aboleths have begun to take over a late joining player’s homeworld of Theros. Mwah ha ha!
*steeples fingers* Eeeexcellent.
@@AJPickett Now I grin at what you are about to unearth.
Note: The giant beetle is considered a Beast in D&D 5e.
Great, fits perfectly then 😁 thanks supersmily
Great video as always AJ
Glorious!
Hey AJ, I’m trying to figure out which patron I should use for a warlock who’s patron is the vestige of Karsus.
An undead one that gives me an idea
Stat how you like
fetid one still alive technically sit atop a lich cap mushroom both are corrupted by a lich
Give of a fetid scent that make the corrupted land up a three mile look like a beautiful forest
If you are able to see past it the forest will be rotted and full of spore zombies
Under the fetid ones control
Lich cap a massive mushroom that links all tree in two miles to it the spores turn corpses into spores zombies and the fetid one can give the undead tree stride on any cursed tree under the mushrooms control
Imagine a devil polymorphed into a farmer that leads you into his farm as a tour. He brings you and your team but most likely 1 or 2 party members. Showing off his barn there's several creatures your team haven't seen and they surrounded you as the farmer offers to pet them because they react to positive reinforcement. They turn out to all be disenchanters. The dm says roll for initiative and the devil changes back to his normal self and a trap floor opens up and brings up a fragrant going to charm the party and the disenchanters go to eat your magic items. Now the fight is on. How likely are you to survive the trap?
Well, not likely to survive at all if you're dumb enough to take that invitation. Any lone farmer who just invites heavily armed and armored strangers into his barn is suspect a.f.
So this trap is an extreme danger if you're not paying attention?
Kinda feel they missing out on opportunity. Mostly everything created for the Feywild follows the same whimsical cartoonish theme.
The Feywild could really use some more large predatory creatures. At this point the creatures on Toril are far more alien and dangerous than the ones in the Feywild.
Kelpies? Nuckalavee? There are *lots* of nasty fae in folklore.
Its absolutel.
Its Abosolum!
I HATED that useless caterpillar in the beginning of the labyrinth! 😂
Was it the scarf?
AJ Pickett I have no idea! 😂 as a child, I fully wanted to stomp on him like a little biting fairy.
Hmm, strangely reminds me of the wise wizard from Your Highness.... "Playful Secrets"
These are awesome.
I might want to try catching them in redundantly layered terrariums. If they can be useful that is hut I'm sure I could figure out a few uses.
Us wizards and our experiments. They could at least serve as guardians in a vault that my constructs fetch my books from.
Yay!
Can we get more about that giant hedgehog you mentioned
It's a very large hedgehog that is immune to mind affecting poisons and magics.
it can breathe a cone of salt that stuns on a failed save. when it makes a dash it rolls into a ball and tripels its movement speed.
@@AJPickett thanks, we have two in my house and that just peaked my interest. Also thanks for the awesome content. Your channel, and two other things are primarily what I listen to these days. So again thank you 🤘
@@ethanbowe8819 that's awesome. If I ever roll a ranger I'm going to have to twist my DMs arm to let me have one. Thanks.
@@Ryal89 You are most welcome :)
I don't know why but as soon as you said they are great as bawnty hunters, I thought Well Mandalorians are a creed not a raise, A fragrint one with bescar armor and a whole lot of technically support both in the suit but also as weapons and gadgets
Just curious, but does the Tome of Beasts II continue Kobold Press' thing where the CR's are probably lower than they would be in a WotC book? That's one thing that I've repeatedly noticed with their existing books.
They actually use the table and make creatures that are appropriate for their CR. If you put four 4th-level characters against a chuul they’re going to absolutely stomp it, but if you put those same characters against a CR 4 from KP’s stuff, they’ll likely still win, but it’ll actually be a challenge.
@@TheWonkster CR is fundamentally flawed as a basis for more than just very basic game planning, it makes an assumption about one side of the equation that I very, very rarely see actually be accurate from the get go, and as that side of the equation (the party make up and frequency of rest stops) is wrong, the other side of the equation is thus also wrong. This is why I rarely go into CR details on monsters.
@@TheWonkster I was trying to compare them to the WotC ones, pretty much all of the KP ones seem to be a bit higher than the WotC ones in the prior books.
It's mainly something worth knowing when trying to work out an encounter
Unless it can perpetually flush its system, expended exposure to salt SHOULD kill it. It would become dehydrated.
Flushing body with mucous might actually make the effects of salt worse, as it would further deplete its body's store of water.
True.
good video AJ
Thanks Chris, welcome back
Leprechauns please please do leprechauns.
Reminds me of that evil version of the Caterpillar from Gygax's wonderland module. Come sit and listen to his babbling and get converted to true neutral and smoke his hookah and not care about anything else.
Good vid
Could you do a video on expanded fey wild politics and regional ecology?
Me: I want to show my players that this undead-spawning giant clam is trying to gain divine powers. Hmmm... Kuo-Toa have divine flavor. And sleeping beholders create. Perhaps the clam imprisons some to focus that energy. It would be best if they were in a trance - a mind meld - like the myconids do. Like an evil myconid meld cone snail cocktail. Something that they can be liberated from, alive.
Kobold Press:
...We have an almost specific answer to that.
He would make a excellent proxy of hastur i think.
Could *Venger* ever be explored just curious?
Add an ilithid larve onto this.
MikeNOOO.gif
So are they Seele or Unseele?
Sounds like they are unaligned
Gloaming, summer, winter, autumn... Any of the courts, they are free agents.
Just by looking at the thumbnail it's reminding me of that caterpillar from Alice in Wonderland
Edit: it was
I have 30 🚲 🎲 and every roll counts
Imagine a flying aboleth specializing in these things.
Worse would be a wizard one that combined itself with the magic resistant snail.
(Flail snail)
@@williamturner6192 or one that uses a flail snails shell
@@williamturner6192 omg if it's a wizard can it use charm and the fragrance at the same time
More!
Slug Party!!!
Weird....just....weird
