The Journey Begins

I have been converting D&D 3.5 monsters to 5e for almost a decade now. In that time I have converted over 150 monsters that Wizards of the Coast left behind. However, there is still a long way to go to truly be able to, as a 3.5 player, reach into the past and reference any monster you remember from the 3.5e Monster Manuals.

As such, starting with Monster Manual II, I have begun methodically going through the Monster Manuals to convert them to 5e, in a usable format everyone can find benefit in. By the end, I hope to have converted every monster from Monster Manuals I to V, as well as from Fiend Folio, Libris Mortis, Sandstorm, Frostburn, Stormwrack, and many more, into D&D 5e stats for everyone to use. Minus of course the small minority of monsters that Wizards of the Coast were gracious enough to give a 5e reprint to.

I will post some updates here as well, but mainly on there, as I work to fully preserve the wonderful monsters of D&D 3.5.

For now, please enjoy the Asperi, from Monster Manual II. The abeils and ash rat are already done, and things are moving right along.

Zezir Medium monstrosity, chaotic evil Armor Class 16 (natural armor) Hit Points 127 (15d8 + 60) Speed 40 ft. Str 18, Dex 18, Con 19, Int 5, Wis 12, Cha 13 Damage Immunities fire Damage Vulnerabilities cold Senses darkvision 60 ft. passive Perception 11 Languages - Challenge 6 (2300 XP) Fast Healing. The zezir regains 10 hit points at the start of its turn if it has at least 1 hit point. If the zezir takes cold damage, this trait doesn't function at the start of the zezir's next turn. Actions Multiattack. The zezir makes three attacks: one with its bite and two with its claws. Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 13 (2d8+4) piercing damage. Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 11 (2d6+4) slashing damage. Spark Spit. Ranged Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, range 30/60 ft., one target. Hit: 14 (3d6+4) fire damage. Flammable Spray (Recharge 5-6). The zezir spits a sticky flammable goo in a 30-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking 17 (5d6) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. The area continues burning for 1 minute, and any creature that starts its turn in the area during that time takes 3 (1d6) fire damage.

The zezir is a creature of the desert, hunting alone or in packs of three to eight. They delight in fire, and often will attack caravans just for the joy of watching them burn. They are pyromaniacs to the core, and the fact that they prefer to feed on ash, and seem to gain sustenance from it, only adds to their obsession. Zezirs communicate in yips and growls. They appear reptilian, but actually are closer to being avian. They stand 5 to 5-1/2 feet tall and weigh around 150 pounds.
