Animals - Monster Manual (2025)

Animals. This appendix provides stat blocks for animals of the Beast type-along with many of their gigantic or mythologized kin-in alphabetical order. Most represent versions of animals that exist (or existed) in the real world. You can find descriptions of these creatures in dictionaries or other educational sources, or you might create new roles for them in your D&D worlds. Use these stat blocks to represent the creatures they're named for or other similar creatures. For example, the Panther stat block can also represent a mountain lion, while the Giant Goat stat block might represent a buffalo. Any of these stat blocks might also serve as fantastical animals with distinctive names and cosmetic details unique to your D&D adventures.
