6 – Azer 18.04.2018

https://monstermanualmash.ptbopodcasters.ca/wp-content/uploads/sites/39/2018/04/episode-6.mp3 BEHOLD! The Azer! Metal-based racism, fire worship and sexy elves trying not to be sexy. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

5 – Ankheg 11.04.2018

https://monstermanualmash.ptbopodcasters.ca/wp-content/uploads/sites/39/2018/04/MMM-episode-5.mp3 BEHOLD! THE ANKHEG! 9 AM is a bad time to watch Tremors, giant ants might actually be marmots, and a tree coming out of your neck HAS to mean something. Hosted on Acast.

4 – Animated Objects 04.04.2018

https://monstermanualmash.ptbopodcasters.ca/wp-content/uploads/sites/39/2018/03/episode-4-edited-re-export.mp3 BEHOLD! Animated Objects!

Wes is all for it, but Chris thinks it's a hot mess. Is it Lovecraft-ian enough? What are “globsters”? And, have you ever seen an exploding whale? Hosted on Acast.

https://monstermanualmash.ptbopodcasters.ca/wp-content/uploads/sites/39/2018/03/MMM-episode-1-with-apology-re-export.mp3 Welcome to Monster Manual Mash! We are no one in particular, and we pick apart every entry in the Dungeons and Dragons monster manual, drawing from history, mythology, arm-chair psychology, pop culture and our own improv to figure out what makes each one tick. BEHOLD! The Aaraok...
