The New Monsters in Ravenloft: The Horrors Within! Deep-Dive & Stat Block Analyses - Part 1 of 2

The first of two videos looking at the brand new monster/NPC (non-Darklord) stat blocks in the newly released Ravenloft: The Horrors Within! This video covers: death's head tree, elder thing, gug, mi-go, mist horror, mist wanderer and Mordenheim's monster. Part 2 will cover more (N-Z), plus the Weathermay-Foxgrove twins. I talk through each stat block, going over their various stats, traits, actions, bonus actions and reactions, and any flavor and ideas that might be useful - plus what Domains of Dread some of them might be found in... 🌫️ #Ravenloft 00:00 Intro 01:58 1.
