Grinmauch CR 9 Fiend (Demon)

A shifting nightmare of bone and sinew, this feral demon twists its own body into deadly weapons, warping flesh and bone mid-strike. It slithers, contorts, and lashes out with unnatural precision—never the same shape twice.

How will you fight something that refuses to stay still?

Creature: Spore Presence

"When guardians of nature that have a personal bond with fungi, symbiotic plants and other spore-releasing agents find themselves looking up at the sky and wondering what manner of druidic growths can be found amongst the far reaches of the cosmos, something may reach out to them to help them find it. Something otherworldly, something itself made of spores and infestations. Some choose to turn away from this entity, but others embrace it, moving between the stars, finding their way to distant planes, and returning inherently changed - sometimes for the best, sometimes for worse."

Warped druidic agents. A spore presence was once a druid, human or other, who has departed on a journey of discovery and been touched by something definitively other. They lost their humanity, their appearance, but gained something else in return - considered a blessing by some and a curse by others. In whispered circles, a spore presence's unique form is said to have been caused by the spores of an otherwordly entity, a creature or apparition not quite of this world, which has itself infested the druid's mind and changed it to what it has become.

Solitary patrols. Spore presences tend to find their way back to their homeland after some time, but without the communicative skills they had before their departure. Instead of talking, they use a confusing, disorienting telepathy that consists of warped images and garbled sounds to convey their thoughts and feelings, which only builds fear into the people they attempt to communicate with. Many spore presences that have returned to their home planet instead seek out a solitary life, generally within cave systems or other dark, mouldy locations, where they can merge amongst the fungi and mildew that they themselves have become part of. A spore presence in its hibernation mode - which can last years if it remains undisturbed - merges into the surface on which it rests and becomes a formless, indistinguishable but large patch of spores that emit no sign of life.

Aberrant nature. A spore presence requires no air, food, drink or sleep.

Hello everyone!

Here is the long-awaited free CR9 tokens from the D&D Monster Manual! These new tokens use the new sizes of 200px per square and the detail is much more better! (this is what KTech said anyway)

I put a ton of work into the colouring of these, spending ages doing the little details, the Fire Giant for example took me nearly 3 days but I think it's very much worth it in the end for such a huge and important-looking token for a game :D

Oh and the dragons that are part of this CR, the blue and silver dragons are included from our basic dragon's pack but are not on the display because they aren't exactly new tokens, also they don't use the new sizes and I want to redo dragons like that at some point in the future.
