I blinded one Hug Devil and enraged/confused another into attacking it, while it was just clawing at the wall. Barding is fun.

Once almost killed my own party by trying to communicate with a charmed Chompy Dingus via "the worm." It wormed right back. In a cave.

Intrepid Adventurers are actually better described as Murder Hobos.

What're the original names?
MostValuableDickbutt
Don't be lazy, read the comments. Both @thepervyknight and @darthcaz have given the lists (with minor variances).

I'm definitely going to have my characters describe the monsters whit these names. You know, if I ever get to actually play as a PC...
Vambee
F*ck chomp chests.
SonBro
I made a treasure room that was a mimic. The doorway was it's mouth and the room slowly filled with stomach acid. Evil DM, Fuck you!

I once had a room in a dungeon with three chests. One was trapped, another had terrible loot, and when my guard was down, the last was mimic
Sticksabbi
No, The mimic should totally be called "Deceptichest"
AnIdiotWhoShouldBeShot
Some of them I genuinely want to know the original names of for comparison.

I have the monster manual. the artwork is incredible
MostValuableDickbutt
The only one you need to know is the Flumph!

Crunch Red Iron Roach = Rust Monster. I think the new name is more inventive tbh :)
KalitasMarkov
Only some?
namelessone
Well, which ones? Give us an opportunity to show off here.
Jimthebutler
Right?
SexySanders
All of them?
thepervyknight
Displacer Beast, Grell, Bulette, Mind Flayer, Purple Worm, Mimic
thepervyknight
Hook Horror, Shambling Mound, Chuul, Iron Golem, Behir, Beholder
textilelover
I thought the Iron Golem could also have been a Shield Guardian.
thepervyknight
Naga, Kuo-Toa, Darkmantle, Rust Monaster, Minotaur, Flumph
infernopg
displacer beast, x, bullette, mind flayer, purple worm, mimic, hook devil, x, something with chtulu, iron golem, behir, beholder, yuan-ti,
Fyba
Hook horror* I have a pet baby one :)
infernopg
two mistakes in one post, shame on me ^^
MostValuableDickbutt
"Mind flayer" is to Illithids as Eskimo is to Inuits.
infernopg
while i do get your point he was asking for the names and:
infernopg
explaining that illithids are a race etc.etc. would have overcomplicated so i just went with the MM name
infernopg
x, dark mantle, rust monster, minotaur, flumph. That's the ones that i remember without looking at the MM
clone1701d
Naga, Sahuagin, dark mantle, then rust monster, etc.
infernopg
true naga, not yuan-ti abomination cause no arms.
SacredSpirit123
Sir, that's a Kuo-Toa. The Sahuagin hate them. Fun fact, the Kuo-toa are insane enough to have imagined their false gods...
SacredSpirit123
...but they can still INVOKE THEM.
txmount
Bird brain = Grell, bushwhacker = shambling mound, rock lobster = Chuul. Coincidentally, all creatures that have made me reroll.
infernopg
I only used the Chuul so far as a variant animal companion for an evil druid monster the players had to fight.
JupiterExile
I used a pair of them for a good fight around level 4 or 5, one managed to drag the ranger underwater and the moon druid had to give chase.
namelessone
The first x is a Grell! The most ridiculous monster in D&D. Been there forever.
infernopg
you say it's the most ridiculous monster, but have you heard of the "wolf in sheep's clothing"? :D
namelessone
What's that?

Oh do tell. I have a session to run this weekend, and the party has been a little lethargic lately...

1 As an idea how to get players active, give one of them a legendary cursed weapon. I made frostmourne (from Warcraft) into an item and gave

F*CKIN squidworst. Nothing butt F*CKS most campaigns I've played like they do.
meergull
Disagree, squidworsts are the most fun kind of enemy to throw at the players. Well, interesting squidworsts, not just some dull random psiho
sunyudai
As I said elsewhere: A good DM teaches his high level munchkin players to fear kobolds.

1/2 Our last session ended with our party facing an Illithid and two Intellect Devourers... We play again in two weeks and
ProphetOfTheFirstClaw
2/2 now there is a tpk looming above our heads the whole time.
CommanderStrax
I always end up using them or similar types when a group becomes too complacent or confident in their abilities. Make the game have more ..
CommanderStrax
Gravitas, when they come across a badass that will literally crack your head open and slurp on your brain for a while
ThisUsernameMakesMeFeelLikeImOnImgur
All my DM's never let me play Illithids
amfrha
Because they don't group with "lesser races". unless your group was cool with playing your slaves, there would be no group.
ThisUsernameMakesMeFeelLikeImOnImgur
That and the whole trust issues everyone would have with me lol

Fuck that guy. Illithid are all evil and he said he wanted back in with his people. Fuck him. But Mercer's mindflayer voice was on point.

They never should have let him take off the damn helmet.

They aren't much better in Demon's Souls either.
textilelover
Hahahaa, my players are going to run into an Ilithilich underneath Gauntlgrym soon. MWAHAHAHAAAAAA.
Stev757
Fun Fact about Illithids: They are lawful good inside their own society. They are only 'evil' to non-Illithids.
Trassation
Sauce?
Derpmano47
Yeah they're like the drow in that sense they hold no empathy whatsoever for species "beneath" them
sunyudai
So so much "beneath" as that they hold little empathy for their food sources. Like us and cows, really.
MostValuableDickbutt
Good and evil are just points of view, Anakin.
2manyfavorites
Or DM used an Alhoon(squidworst lich) as his parting gift to us. Essentially it killed us with two spells and a couple rounds of hiding.
Gustave13
I got stunned for many rounds because of one, almost lost my dude.
fistermatic5000
I remember them from Baldur's Gate. Man can they make a battle be straight fuckery.
UnicornofPeril
They stopped being an issue when we realized our Barbarian could kill around 90 of them in a single round.
textilelover
Then someone allowed some PC ridiculousness or is playing mindflayers very very poorly. Psychic dmg is the one type they can't resist.
UnicornofPeril
The first one. He was roughly a quarter Punpun on the cheezometer.
textilelover
I've never enjoyed that, I want to be concerned that we might not make it. But to each their own!
UnicornofPeril
Actually we suffered frequent losses (Entire group was first-timers) but also the GM had to keep homebrewing monsters because as 1/2
MostValuableDickbutt
That's why they're my favourite D&D monsters. Beholders may be on the guide cover, but Illithids are the true masters of fuckery!
Azerai
Literal mindfuckery

Illithids are also called mind-flayers right?

Yes. Explanation too long to put here so I'll link it if it fits:

My players fear kobolds. I've taught them well.
MostValuableDickbutt
Don't let them see http://thebutthag.tumblr.com (NSFW) - they'll be sexually attracted to kobolds instead of afraid of them.
sunyudai
Heh. I've encountered that before. My kobolds are ambush masters - fond of poison tipped weapons, murder holes, concealed simple traps, ...

and effective tactics. The last kobold encounter my 12th level munchkins ran through involved a running battle down a canyon where the...

I had an idea recently for the players to find a 'pet rock' in an ilithid's lair - literally just a sentient rock that gained telepathy 1/2

from prolonged exposure to the ilithid/experiments.

I like it. I generally don't touch jack shit when they're involved. EVERYTHING they've touched is out to kill you.

I think i have an affinity for turning random BBEG possessions into rp opportunities - once had a necromancer's discarded skull be a fun npc

My dad told me a DnD story of Ulfric, a skull & arm bones held together by leather straps. He thought he was alive, but wasn't very helpful.
