Ever seen a sun spider? Camel spider? Had a buddy in the Sand box send me pictures of one. Over a foot long. Pretty crazy.
Here is a tidbit of real world lore I think would make revenants more interesting. They are blood drinkers. This can be why revenants are hunted down despite being obsessed with revenge against those that wronged them before death. Their unnatural life needs occational fuel and in their drive for vengeance they willingly feed this fire. But unlike real vampires they lack the means to drain it without killing. So a revenant will just murder someone and lap the blood off the ground like an animal. Or maybe suck on the stump of a severed limb they cut off. Their need for revenge overriding any moral restraint that would have held them back from harming innocents. They are a perversion of the person they were in life. Driven to inflict vengeance, bloodthirsty in the literal and metaphorical sense, they are a blight upon the land as they chase down their targets.
Love your show and I really got a kick out of seeing the image of Ed Greenwood. I edited that image as the episode cover when I interviewed Ed for Episode 5 of The Dead Games Society Podcast. :)
Nice!
Feedback on playtests were blotted out under NDA's. It was one of the pre-requisites to playtesting dndOne.
foreboding...
never heard of it
Thanks for the binge watch of my vids and the comments!
damn scary
beautifull
I love living in new lazlo irl always fun to imagine what it would be like
That was mind works not loan star
Never heard of these beasties b4 but kinda makes sense they would exist in fantasy when there are centaurs and driders
Do they wear armour or barding? Give them armour/barding,and javelins I reckon with maybe some shields for higher teir play.
only that which they take from other humanoids, so they don't have anything for their lower half.
@@AJPickett dam Tlincalli could at least put scorpion pants on when they feed you to their young.
🎼Spooky scary scorpions(?) see how fast they run! 🎼
I almost feel sorry for any of these things serving under a blue dragon. They're terrible, cruel masters.
There are Halflings and then there's Sage Halflings (with godlike CR). One is a delicacy to half of Faerun, the other decides who lives and who dies.
Sage Halfling is considered a delicacy and holiday dish in some circles😁
The Sage and Dire Halfling (thanks to his mixed ancestry - not dragon) Picaroon Highhand is a D&D Basic Immortal of the Sphere of Thought, he has an assigned region of the Prime to investigate but is currently living back on Toril, slowly accumulating one Power Point per 10k experience points, which will allow him to attain a higher rank (eventually, if he attends the Immortal Olympics and qualifies for advancement), so, this is why he doesn't use his immortal form or powers while on Toril, as it would reduce his power points... if an emergency occurs, he can drop his mortal disguise and manifest his full immortal power, but yeah, that can kill mortal beings in his presence if he is not very careful. As of the time these most recent videos are set (1499 DR) he has completed construction of the Highhand Tower on Mintarn Island. But, his story will slowly unfold...
@@AJPickett Something about " The Divine Edict, " truce of the gods. The .. " .. Immortals .. " .. can only walk on a given world at a restrain power level to prevent the earth realms from distorting the fabric of reality. That was something from the Forgotten Realms box set or guidebook or something back in the late 1980's, maybe from the early 90's. Other than the arguing debates of mythology vs religions, which I have to deal with too many times or the years. Then there is the comic book character toxic fandom on who is more powerful, Superman or Thor. Uh, which Superman or Thor ? Then there is Loki. Us public school system or people in general on not too keen on critical thinking skills. Well other than more insults. The .. Norse .. needed an explanation for Earthquakes, so Loki did something to get venom dripped into his eyes and due to the nature of time & space of the world tree and nine realms, you have Loki and earthquakes. Then hear a few snobs make remarks about how to read a Myth, compared to real religion. I follow up with, Thor sticks his hammer between Loki eyes and holy taser him like a plasma field storm seen in Star Trek DS9 tv series. Any of you seen the movie " 2012 " where an earthquake takes out the USA west coast ? True power of the gods would rip a world apart. ( AD&D, over size huge air elemental : Storm of Vengeance.) Now as for proper reading of a Myth, you roll over in bed, readjust your hand under your head for comfort. Poke yourself in the eye cause you to sit up in bed really quick. Now brace your hand against the wall for balance support, now Everything goes wrong and your stub your fingers, drop your foot to the floor to steady yourself .. yeah .. those were your toes. Now you are trying not to scream in pain as you shake your bedroom wall. Not even half awake, you pick up your water bottle or glass and smack it to your chin or upper lip for added joy. Sadly, or with comfort I meet more than a few people over the years who had these events happen to them over the years. I don't feel special, since I know I am not the only one that goes through this in life. I can tell you multiple stories about , .. coffee tables.
@@krispalermo8133 ... I am of Norwegian ancestry.
@@AJPickett Lovely 💯
What happened to the giant death scorpion A.J. ?
Its coming, giant scorpion vid is due next month, but Tlincalli needed covering as lots of folks are playing the Lost Tomb of Tsojanth lately.
@@AJPickett cool liked the tlincalli episode always thought they got the short end of the stick lore wise since 2nd edition
so are u sayin they do hunt blue dragons ot they dont?
@@docop8926 they don't and will serve them to avoid becoming food
Yeah, they will serve a Blue Dragon or other stronger predator. They are also very superstitious and firmly believe that their death, their fate, is already written, so they fight with near reckless ferocity... however, they are smart enough not to go antagonizing dragons.
Great Video. ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
you now , the problem with giant spiders and bugs is that mostly they are so montrous and bizarre already not much can be done, you can try to "chimerize" the creature, but feels a bit basic i really like the notion of a highly mutagenic form of magic aura or radiation giving normal animal or regular monstera a extra pinch of the unknown, maybe some panache with the presentation. imagine that : Investigating reports of a misterious force turning regular everday creatures into monsters never before seem, our brave adventures find themselves in a bind as a previously well - known creature proves more than originally perceived.
giant vinegraroon. can anyone turn the gas into a liquid and them add that as an alchemical component? i can only imagine how much gold something like that can sell by. giant bugs, best source of gold.
What struck me was the gas being described as "Sultry"... wtf? That word does not mean what I think they think it means...
@@AJPickett who knows? maybe is an aphrodisiac.
@@AJPickett weirder things happpen in a magical word. and sapient being are sapient beings... Degenaracy knows no bounds. check baldur's gate 3
@@pensador6953 Oh I have, I greatly enjoyed my time with my Githyanki girlfriend.
Thanks for sharing the Jim Henson lore, *anecdotal* a Jim Henson exhibit came through town last year- fascinating. Keep up the great work, cheers to the next livestream! Edit: Mechanus ho!
Bless the Mighty GlueStick
Apart from the Bedine, their camels, and the blue dragon, I wanted to kill every single creature pictured in this video. 😄
I really do love your work Mr AJ Pickett.
Ahh, yes, strange dnd lore that I didn’t even know existed. Must be AJ coming in with the aluminum bat of knowledge ready to expose by brain matter to eden’s grace via blunt force narration trauma.
I always considered the spiked cain to be a very impractical weapon no matter who wields it
After all these videos and listening to what this environment, let alone the devils and lords of the plains can do to you, I can't see anyone surviving bar a party of high level clerics with magic items that give them mental and elemental immunities
Now our beloved dire halfling sage has evolved to a higher being. So I am guessing that we are hearing a reading of his accumulated works that are kept in candlekeep? I would love a story about the life of our beloved sage.
Oh, what a tale it is!
I wonder if tlincalli fluoresce under UV light like most if not all species of Earth scorpions do? That'd be *awesome.*
Ticks also count as arachnids, are there any half tick half humanoid creatures?
SPOON!
Not the most original concept for a creature but really well realized! Giant scorpions styled as Egyptian warriors: very cool!
Not the most... heh! Scorpion men or girtablullû feature in several Akkadian language myths from ancient Mesopotamia, including the epic Enûma Elish and the Standard Babylonian version of the Epic of Gilgamesh.
@@AJPickettbarely 4000 years old so its about as original as the idea of scissors.
@@blakereid5785 Granted Scissors are pretty cool.
@@AJPickett Giant invisible mouse traps hang in doorways are fun too.
Cool. I have never heard of these guys before.
I think my halfling barbarian would go to these places with the scorpion folk, and eat them!
Hey AJ, great video as always. That is a very scary looking creature. I was looking at the stats wondering why everything is based off of medium size. The person its self is medium size, that I understand. Another oddity is the spiked chain, it auto grapples and restrains (escape DC is based off of the creature's Dexterity). The only thing I can think of that does all of that is the man catcher weapon. Mechanical this creature is really weird. If I was a player and seen what that spiked chain can do I would take it and use it, plus it's one-handed. Wish WotC would release more formulas on how things are suppose work. Hopefully the new DMG will have more helpful information. Thanks AJ, you have a wonderful day!
@mattnerdy7236 gotta remember player character races are medium sized or smaller so WOTC design monster abilities for fighting medium sized humanoids and smaller forgetting that spells like polymorph and wildshape exist along with animal companions
@@zacharyweaver276 I have to remember that players are medium or smaller size and that WotC designed monsters to fight medium or smaller size and I need to remember that WotC forgot about spells and abilities. What!!? 😂 I'm talking about the weapon damage compared to its size and the spiked chain with amazing abilities that anybody can use --> large, medium or smaller size. Let me make this simple for you, nothing to remember. It's a large size creature doing damage of a medium size creature. It's a monster not a player wild shaping into a large size creature. I find it amazing you know what I am doing wrong and what WotC is doing wrong. And you did all that without taking the time to at least hit the like button on my comment. Must be all that thinking 🤔
@mattnerdy7236 I did like your comment. I see I misunderstood what you meant. Yeah some monsters damage doesn't fit their size
Why does everything love to eat halflings?
Halflings really do taste delicious. If you scratch me, I smell like cookies.
@@AJPickett ....ah, you know, I think I'll take your word for it heheh
A Lizardfolk buddy of mine used to like them roasted over an open fire with a sprinkling of lime.
Cause they small If it smol it is easier to eat :3 They tend to be plump to
Hobbit scratchings are the best 😋
There are a bunch of design problems with these particular chimeric people, but even so, I like the concept here: using technology these people would never have on their own, a people/species has become invasive. Pretty cool idea I think even if it has problems with its execution.
What kind of design problems?
@@lelduck6388 I assume going back and forth on if they have pincers or not.
@@DIEGhostfishI assumed he was talking about organ placement and what kind of circulatory and skeletal system they have.
The scorpion king
I want to learn more about Morandun now. Sounds like a fun place for adventuring
So do Tlincalli have claws or just scorpion stingers? The art doesn't seem to be very clear
They generally don't have pincers.
Love these guys glad to see them covered. Sound perfect for desert encounters. Considering scorpions live in forests and jungles I wonder if they could have variants
Absolutely they do.
I am currently making a chart for DND group who want to play zodiac theme. Would choosing Tlincalli as player race for Scorpio a good idea?
Sure, sounds fun.
@@AJPickett Thanks.
