5e can be run using existing monsters from published material but if you can’t find what you’re looking for make your own monsters!

Reskinning existing monsters is a popular but lazy method. The Dungeon Master’s Guide has a section on modifying and creating creatures but it involves a lot of backtracking and repetition.

In this video, I go through step by step how to create your own monster from scratch with an example to help along the way.

I’ve stripped out and simplified the DMG method and show that it’s really no more complicated than character creation.

Let me know if you'd like a video on lair actions or NPC's!
