The Creature Codex project started with an idea that sprung up on the Kobold in the Shack Facebook group: what if we collected all of our monsters into a single PDF volume, similar to Pathfinder's Core Rulebook?

An incredible collection of creatures for use in the 5E fantasy roleplaying game, including over 250 creatures from the classic Dungeons & Dragons's first edition. All creatures have been painstakingly converted by our team to make use of the fifth edition's simple yet powerful monster ruleset.
