Chapter 21: Talons - The Book of Many Things

Chapter 21: Talons. This chapter presents monsters inspired by the Deck of Many Things, arranged in alphabetical order. For guidance on how to use a creature's stat block, consult the introduction of the Monster Manual. Some creatures have weapons with unusual damage types or spellcasting that functions in an atypical way. Such an exception is a special feature of a stat block and represents how the creature uses its weapon or casts its spells; the exception has no effect on how a weapon or spell functions for a different creature. If a stat block contains the name of a class in parentheses under the creature's name, the creature is considered a member of that class for the purpose of meeting prerequisites for magic items.
