We Have Darkvision

This week The Gang breaks into Elhoryn Tyranth's magical vault and actually learns some useful information. Then Marblesnot proposes a plan to help them infiltrate the Goblinoid and Demon Army that is surrounding Wolf Rock. Also, what an enigma Sef is turning out to be. But if you're all wondering what his deal is, here's a hint. One of The Gang makes an accurate statement about him during the epi...

The Drow have been around since the very beginning of Dungeons and Dragons, and for a long time they were basically the same. Evil Elves that live underground. But now, Wizards of the Coast is giving them an upgrade. Kind of. This week Kyle and Alex learn about the current iteration of the Drow, and then take a look at what changes are being made to the Dark Elves. Ultimately the upgrades are a go...

This week The Gang discovers a scurry of chimpmunks in an unexpected place, learns a secret about Sef and begins to unfold the mystery of Elhoryn Tyranth.

There's not a whole lot to say about Elementals, so we're gonna leave it all for the episode. Ok well, no, that's not quite true. There's a lot to be said about elementals. However, you probably already know the gist of it. So we'll leave the interesting stuff for the episode. But, just in case you don't already know, Elementals are the living embodiments of the elements that make up the universe....

Obviously, the very first thing to do when Wolf Rock is in crisis, is to ignore the problem and go check up on how Cool Burger profits are fairing. And that's exactly what The Gang does. After that's settled, they gather some information about what has happened in their absence, and decide it might be time to investigate Elhoryn Tyranth.

This week The Gang returns to Wolf Rock only to find it completely surrounded by a Demon and Goblinoid army. Their solution? Plenty of fire, an absurd amount of trust in Kroy's stealth abilities, and hopefully a lot of luck.

The simple rundown for this week's episode is this: Duergar are evil dwarves. Luckily there's a lot more to the Duergar if you dig a little deeper. And actually, that's the whole deal with the Duergar. They just kept digging a little deeper. They wanted gold, but instead they got, uhh... something much worse. Come join Kyle and Alex as they learn all about the sort of psychic and very angry dwarve...

The Gang tries to hoodwink an old nemesis and get back one of their former possessions. Bort remembers that he's technically in the 1% and Nubz needs hold Kroy's hand to stop him from losing his mind. We're on our way back to Wolf Rock, let's hope it's not overrun by the time we get there!

This week's episode about Dryads is brought to you by Greek mythology, New York Fashion Week and Trees. Kyle and Alex learn all about the mythological origins of the tree dwelling Dryads and then compare those origins to the one provided in Dungeons and Dragons. It turns out that, for once, D&D has gotten pretty close to the original idea. Although, when your origin is "lives in a tree", it's...

This week The Gang meets a B-list Celebrity (if we're being generous) and a Snake. They're left with some tough choices and Nubz finds another use for The Mirror That Doesn't Rhyme. Then, with the challenge of Temple of the Golden Orb complete, they're ready to head back to their own realm. But someone is waiting for them with aims of making their life more difficult.

Here it is! The most important episode of Monster Friends we'll ever do! It's Dragon time! Well, ok. That might be a bit of an exaggeration. Dragons are really cool, very powerful and a pretty diverse bunch, but despite being the eponymous creatures of the game we play, they might not actually be the most important monsters around. This week Kyle and Alex learn about the 10 different types of Drag...

On this week's episode, The Gang try to solve the puzzles in the next rooms of the Temple. It gets a little stressful when Bort forgets that he can't breathe underwater though. Will Kroy get over his new found hate-on for Bort? Will Nubz put her paddle to good use? Or will the team finally fail and die, locked in a room in a realm of existence that no one can find?

Kyle and Alex take this week off, but if we didn't tell you that, you'd never know because we had our doppelgangers do the episode for us! Doppelgangers and other similar creatures have existed in various forms pretty much since the beginning of time. Evil twins, lookalikes, supernatural spooky mirror copies, shapeshifters; they all fall into the category of Doppelgangers. Join Not-Kyle and Not-Al...

On this week's episode, The Gang attempts to prove that they are worthy of entering the Temple of the Golden Orb. Bort and Kroy hate each other for a while, and Nubz learns something new about Flamingoes. Oh, and Bark Scruffalo has a minor mishap. This temple is fun! And don't forget, you can come by out website or check out our instagram to see the full map of The Temple of the Golden Orb!

This week Kyle and Alex travel all the way to the Feywild to learn about the giant mutant kitty cat known as the Displacer Beast. The Displacer Beast isn't just a giant murder cat though. It's also a walking, talking* science experiment, so not only do we learn about the lore behind Displacer Beasts, we also learn the lore behind all of science**.So come give the episode a listen and then let us k...

On this week' episode, The Gang gets a reminder about the power of mirrors, and learns a lesson (or more likely, they didn't learn this lesson, but they should have) about the importance of taking notes when you discover that one of your allies might actually be a bad guy. Bort gets back to his normal self, Kroy gets even sneakier than he was and Nubz talks to a tree.

This week Kyle and Alex get prehistoric and learn all about Dinosaurs! That's right, there are dinosaurs in Dungeons and Dragons. Unfortunately the Monster Manual gives incredibly little detail about them. But, on the other hand, there is so much information available about real life dinosaurs! So Kyle starts the episode giving a brief rundown of how he would use dinosaurs in a campaign, and looks...

On this week's episode Nubz spends a lot of time as an Eagle while Bort and Kroy consider burning down an entire forest to get rid of a couple spiders. Then the gang get worried about mushrooms and discover something that has been missing for centuries.

There are 13 tiers of devils. We've already learned about the two highest tiers of devils in our episode about the Arch Devils and the Rulers of the Nine Hells . This week we're moving on to their devil underlings, and that means we have 11 more types of devils to talk about. Now, 11 types of devils might seem like a lot to remember, but thankfully devils have a much better naming scheme than demo...

On this week's episode Kroy and Bort intimidate a bartender into opening a Cool Burger franchise and Nubz makes friends with a chimp. Then they walk through a forest and crawl inside a tree.

If you've been keeping up with Monster Friends, you'll know that over the last couple episodes we covered Demons and the Blood War. This week we move on to their bitter rivals in the everlasting war, the Devils. To break it down real quick, here's the deal: There are 9 layers of hell. Each layer is ruled by a powerful devil (known as an Archdevil). The Biggest and Baddest Devil of them all is name...

This week Kroy and Kroi try to escape the monastery with the Censer of Air Elementals. Bort and Nubz try to use mind control to escape the Abyss with a new ally. Will the gang finally get back together again?

In our last episode we learned that Demon Lords are bad news. But like, that’s to be expected I think. This week Kyle and Alex learn about the lesser demons. You know, the ones that aren’t powerful enough to actually become Demon Lords. Turns out these regular baby demons are also awful and quite powerful. They’re not any better than the Demon Lords! Oh no! There are a ton of different types of de...

This week on Part 7 of the Backstory to the Future Arc, Nubz and Bort work on their negotiation skills and Kroy jumps out a window with complete disregard for his health.

There are a lot of demons. Like, an almost infinite amount of demons. So naturally, we couldn’t cover them all in a single episode of Monster Friends. But if we tried to cover each type of demon separately, we’d be here for years. So, we’ve split our episode on demons up into two parts. In this episode we cover the Blood War (the never ending battle between demons and devils) and the most powerful...
