This section contains new monsters that are likely to be encountered in dungeons or deep underground. Some of these monsters are referenced in chapter 2, “Random Dungeon Delves” or “3-Page Dungeons,” while others appear nowhere else in this book. In either case, use these monsters as you see fit in your own dungeon adventures.

If you haven’t used a Level Up book before, some of the terms used in these stat blocks, such as the bloodied condition and Maneuver DC, may be new to you; these are pieces of shorthand intended to make monsters easier to run. The terms are explained in this introduction to this book.

The following cultures are more often encountered beneath the earth than above it. Some of these cultures are closely identified with a particular heritage, while others are more general. No heritage is monocultural, however; any culture may include creatures of any heritage, and vice versa.

Many of the species that dwell in Underland’s winding caverns are little known on the surface world. Only the most well-traveled grimlocks, mycelials, oozefolk, rockborn, or motley have seen the light of the sun. Ratlings and doppelgangers, on the other hand, are familiar to, though rarely welcomed by, aboveground communities.
