It's time to learn about the history of Dungeons and Dragons! Today on Monster of the Week, the internet show that deep dives into the lore and backstory behind the coolest, scariest, and most interesting monsters in D&D, we're going to be talking about Ash Giants!
Ash Giants are the premier giant species from the Burning Ash Plain that may or may not even exist, and by that, I mean they don't exist beyond the D&D novels (apparently). So today, we're gonna give them some game rules and resurrect this forgotten giant race into Dungeons and Dragons 5e!
As always the 5th edition / D&D 2024 stat block for this monster is linked below! ⬇️
Be sure to let me know how you plan to use this week's monstrous creature at your D&D group's game table!
