Dragon

Can update this description with the new text from the Core Rules; states: For convenience, a table is provided following the description of each dragon type; this table shows the variation in hit dice, damage from their various attacks, and other features peculiar to dragons, but no table is provided for the Ice Dragon.

Dragon, Ice

Should be adjusted to match new Dragon types, if necessary

Duckbear

OK - not in the SRD; Do we want to roll this in with the "bird-headed monsters" in the Core Rules

Dufflepud

Not in the SRD, but a Google search suggests that the Narnia series is still under copyright, and Narnia is the only reference I can find to Dufflepuds. Can we just change the name? Something like Monopod? Uniped?; Reference to Invisibility spell

Dwarrow

OK - not in the SRD; Reference to Darkvision

Dynamo

OK - not in the SRD

Monsters starting with C
pp. 17-22

Cacophony

Crystalline Egret

Cthaeh

Not in the SRD, but appears to be a creature from "The Kingkiller Chronicle" by Patrick Rothfuss, published less than 20 years ago, so very likely copyrighted. The name is identical and the description is very close to the published monster. Would recommend changing the name and rewriting to distance it from that creature, or removing entirely.; Reference to Heal, Cure Disease, Neutralize Poison, Teleportation, Disintegration, Charm Person and ESP spells

Curse

OK - not in the SRD; Reference to Wish spell

Yeah I let the side down with this one, life got in the way, but at least I squeezed in a few little sections

[Jim1804]

Just procrastinating some work stuff I should be doing

As I'm researching monsters in FG2, I have run into several illustrations that didn't make it into the PDF. I don't know if that's still on a to-do list or if there was a reason for leaving them out. Here's just one example: Dimi's Bog Ogre from 2017. Zoltars Inkwell did a bunch of illustrations in 2021.
