Of Fire and Venom: Monstrous Pages for Shadow of the Demon Lord
Few creatures evoke the fear and wonder that dragons do. Even their smaller kin, the drakes, drive people and animals alike to scatter for shelter and avoid the notice of these keen-eyed hunters of the skies. Their majesty and their inherent cruelty make dragons and drakes even larger than life in song and legend.
Tales abound of dragons’ treasures and of those brave heroes who would beard the monsters in their lairs, whether to plunder a hoard, save a captive, or put an end to the beasts’ vile depredations. Such tales paint dragons as easily defeated, but in truth they are no cringing beasts to be cornered and slain. They fight with terrifying ferocity and deadly cunning. Dragons have nothing to fear from would-be heroes—as the twisted bits of armor and weapons decorating their lairs testify.
Of Fire and Venom reveals the secrets of dragons, drakes, and similar creatures, offering new options for customization and new variants with which you can torment the player characters and frustrate their plans.

The misbegotten hybrids of strange unions, the results of bizarre conjurations, creatures warped through experimentation, alchemical effluvia, or the corrupting taint of the Void, monsters are often unique beings. Few monsters are members of entirely new species though some species have their origins in such beasts. Usually prone to fits of violent rage, monsters are driven by hunger, brutal instinct, and all-too-commonly pain wrought by their unnatural creation or existence. Whether found in the forsaken wilds, hidden laboratories, or areas polluted by alchemical toxins, most are thankfully solitary. Only in rare instances are several identical monsters created, those capable of fighting as a pack most likely to cooperate with each other.
