Defense of the Ancients 2 Monsters

For Dungeons and Dragons

This document holds every Hero from DotA 2 converted into a D&D friendly format, for play as monsters against player characters. The lore accompanying each monster is mostly copy and pasted from their DotA 2 lore, but I've made changes in order to keep them current with D&D.

Feedback of any sort, as well as questions, can reach me at my reddit profile. Many thanks to Phylea for their support and feedback, and to the creator of the Homebrewery which I've used extensively for this project.

Abaddon, Lord of Avernus

The Font of Avernus is the source of a family's strength, a crack in primal stones from which vapors of prophetic power have issued for generations. Each newborn of the cavernous House Avernus is bathed in the black mist, and by this baptism they are given an innate connection to the mystic energies of the land. They grow up believing themselves fierce protectors of their lineal traditions, the customs of the realm--but what they really are protecting is the Font itself. And the motives of the mist are unclear.

Annointed by Mist. When the infant Abaddon was bathed in the Font, they say something went awry. In the child's eyes there flared a light of comprehension that startled all present and set the sacerdotes to whispering. He was raised with every expectation of following the path all scions of Avernus took--to train in war, that in times of need he might lead the family's army in defense of the ancestral lands. But Abaddon was always one apart. Where others trained with weapons, he bent himself to meditation in the presence of the mist. He drank deep from the vapors that welled from the Font, learning to blend his spirit with the potency that flowed from far beneath the House; he became a creature of the black mist. There was bitterness within the House Avernus--elders and young alike accusing him of neglecting his responsibilities. But all such accusations stopped when Abaddon rode into battle, and they saw how the powers of the mist had given him mastery over life and death beyond those of any lord the House had ever known.

Font's Source. House Avernus is aware of their name being the same of first layer of Baator. They denounce anyone that tries to assert there is some sort of connection, and believe that their ancient house is actually older than Asmodeus himself. Though they are wrong, Asmodeus takes no action against the House Avernus. This is because the Font's source is in fact Stygia, the 5th layer of of the Nine Hells. This secret is known only to a few in Levistus' court, and to Asmodeus himself. Levistus intentions for House Avernus are unknown to anyone aside from himself, and possibly Abaddon.

Netherax, Nightmare of the Mist. When the Font anointed Abaddon with its power, it also conjured up a creature, equally terrifying, for its champion to ride into battle. Netherax takes orders from Abaddon telepathically, and serves the Lord of Avernus as his mount and as a protector. If Abaddon becomes unconscious, Netherax will attempt to take his master to safety.

Zariel's Irritation. Zariel, Archduke of the first layer of the Nine Hells, which is called Avernus, is irritated by House Avernus. He is forbidden however from directly interfering with the House Avernus by Asmodeus. Zariel doesn't know exactly why this is, but obeys the Prince of Nessus.

After Borrowed Time is activated, Abaddon must take a long rest before he can activate it again.

Curse of Avernus. Whenever Abaddon scores a hit with an attack, the target is cursed. The curse lasts until the end of Abaddon's next turn. Enemies attacking a cursed enemy gain +2 to their attack roll, and cursed enemies have their movement speed slowed by 5ft and have a -1 to their attack rolls.

Innate Spellcasting. Abaddon's connection to the mists of Avernus has grown to the point that he can cast certain spells. All of them have a casting range of 30ft, and should have mist themes (for example, if he uses the mage hand cantrip then the hand should appear to be made of mist). Abaddon's innate spellcasting ability is Wisdom (spell save DC 16, +8 to hit with spell attacks). It can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components.

Creatures within the mist cannot benefit from half cover or three-quarters cover when attacked by Abaddon. The location of creatures within the mist is always known to Abaddon, so he is not affected negatively by anyone's invisibility and creatures cannot hide from him. Abaddon can instantly see through any illusion that is within the mists.

Everyone within 5ft of the person that was shielded aside from Abaddon and the person that was shielded must make a Dexterity saving throw (DC 16) or take 2d6 force damage.

Legendary Actions

Abaddon can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action option can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature's turn. Abaddon regains spent legendary actions at the start of his turn.

Creatures within the mist cannot benefit from half cover or three-quarters cover when attacked by Netherax. Netherax can instantly see through any illusion that is within the mists.

Curse of Avernus. Whenever Netherax scores a hit with an attack, the target is cursed. The curse lasts until the end of Abaddon's next turn.

Razzil Darkbrew, the Alchemist

The sacred science of Chemistry was a Darkbrew family tradition, but no Darkbrew had ever shown the kind of creativity, ambition, and recklessness of young Razzil. However, when adulthood came calling, he pushed aside the family trade to try his hand at manufacturing gold through Alchemy. In an act of audacity befitting his reputation, Razzil announced he would transmute an entire mountain into gold. Following two decades of research and spending and preparation, he failed spectacularly, and the young rock gnome quickly found himself imprisoned for the widespread destruction his experiment wrought.

Yet Razzil was never one to take a setback lightly, and sought escape to continue his research. When his new cellmate turned out to be a fierce ogre, he found just the opportunity he needed. After convincing the ogre not to eat him, Razzil set about carefully concocting a tincture for it to drink, made from the moulds and mosses growing in the prison stone work. In a week’s time, it seemed ready. When the ogre drank the potion, it flew into an unstoppable berserker rage, destroying the cell bars and exploding through walls and guards alike. They soon found themselves lost somewhere in the forest surrounding the city with a trail of wreckage in their wake and no signs of pursuit. In the tonic’s afterglow, the ogre seemed serene, happy, and even eager. Resolving to work together, the pair set off to collect the materials needed to attempt Razzil’s Alchemic transmutation once more.

Kaldr, the Ancient Apparition

Kaldr, the Ancient Apparition, is an image projected from outside time. He springs from the cold, infinite void that both predates the universe and awaits its end. Kaldr is, Kaldr was, Kaldr shall be… and what we perceive, powerful as it appears to us, is but the faintest faded echo of the true, eternal Kaldr. Some believe that as the cosmos ages and approaches its final moments, the brightness and power of Kaldr will also intensify—that the Ancient Apparition will grow younger and stronger as eternity's end draws nigh. His grip of ice will bring all matter to a stop, his image will cast a light too terrible to behold. An Apparition no longer!

Stronger With Age. As the world gets older, Kaldr gets stronger. At first weaker than a ghost, he eventually becomes strong enough to take on the world.

Heat Absorption. Instead of taking damage from cold and fire damage, Kaldr heals for the amount of damage he would have taken.

Ice Vortex. Kaldr twists magic around him. Everyone within 60ft of him has vulnerability to cold damage. Kaldr is effected by this as well. Due to the twisting of magic around Kaldr, anyone within 60ft of him attempting to cast a spell must succeed on a saving throw (DC 21) or fail to cast the spell while still expending any resources used for that spell. The ability score used for the saving throw is dictated by the spellcasting ability of the spell caster.

Magina, the Anti-Mage

The monks of Turstarkuri watched the rugged valleys below their mountain monastery as wave after wave of invaders swept through the lower kingdoms. Ascetic and pragmatic, in their remote monastic eyrie they remained aloof from mundane strife, wrapped in meditation that knew no gods or elements of magic. Then came the Legion of the Dead God, crusaders with a sinister mandate to replace all local worship with their Unliving Lord's poisonous nihilosophy. From a landscape that had known nothing but blood and battle for a thousand years, they tore the souls and bones of countless fallen legions and pitched them against Turstarkuri. The monastery stood scarcely a fortnight against the assault, and the few monks who bothered to surface from their meditations believed the invaders were but demonic visions sent to distract them from meditation. They died where they sat on their silken cushions.

Lone Survivor. Only one youth survived--a pilgrim who had come as an acolyte, seeking wisdom, but had yet to be admitted to the monastery. He watched in horror as the monks to whom he had served tea and nettles were first slaughtered, then raised to join the ranks of the Dead God's priesthood. With nothing but a few of Turstarkuri's prized dogmatic scrolls, he crept away to the comparative safety of other lands, swearing to obliterate not only the Dead God's magic users - but to put an end to magic altogether.

Zet, the Arc Warden

The war between the primordial elementals and the gods, that resulted in the gods winning and the allowance of creation, was an incredible war too massive in scope to cover in only one book. One of the facets of that war however revolved around the Ancient Primordials, Radinthul and Diruulth. The two of them were each the equal of any diety or elemental, matched only by a few. What is more, they hated each other. Their force of will was so powerful that for a time they threatened to turn the war between the elementals and the gods into a different war, a war fought by those same beings with minds corrupted by the power of Radinthul and Diruulth.

The Warden. Zet was one of the few Ancient Primordials that was a match for Radinthul and Diruulth. He saw the direction that their feud would take, and used his power to intervene. Weaving powerful magic and sacrificing a large part of his power, Zet entombed Radinthul and Diruulth within a large rocky sphere, dubbed The Mad Moon. He then set himself to watch over this tomb, knowing that if Radinthul and Diruulth ever broke free and regained their strength, the cosmos was forever doomed.

Unforseen Alliance. For eons Radinthul and Diruulth raged inside of the Mad Moon, trying to destroy each other. Eventually they realized that they were trapped, and for a brief moment they agreed to work together. The Mad Moon exploded, spreading shards of radiant crystals and dire stone into space. Radinthul and Diruulth were not fully free of the Mad Moon, trapped inside the crystals and stone respectively, but they were able to start the long process of rebuilding their strength and again taking form.

Shattered Zet. When the Mad Moon exploded, Zet, who made his home on it, was caught in the explosion. His mind was shattered and what remained of his power did as well. However, his sheer determination to keep Radinthul and Diruulth entombed allowed Zet to bring enough of himself together in order to create a humanoid form. This humanoid form is known as Zet, the Arc Warden, and hr travels the cosmos collecting radiant crystals and dire stones so that he can recreate the Mad Moon.

Spark Wraiths. As well as the Arc Warden himself, there are other remenants of Zet, Spark Wraiths and the Tempest Double. Spark Wraiths are limited pieces of Zet's consciousness. They guard the area directly around them, and fly at the nearest living creature large enough for them to consider a threat. Once they meet, the Spark Wraith attempts to subdue and consume the threat, destroying themselves in the process.

The Tempest Double. Zet the Arc Warden is a single being, but has two escapees to capture. As such, he created the Tempest Double. A lesser version of Zet the Arc Warden, the Tempest Double seeks out Radinthul and Diruulth's shards. If destroyed, the Tempest Double can be recreated by Zet the Arc Warden, and he is immediately aware of everything the Tempest Double is aware of.

Mogul Khan, the Axe

As a grunt in the Army of Red Mist, Mogul Khan set his sights on the rank of Red Mist General. In battle after battle he proved his worth through gory deed. His rise through the ranks was helped by the fact that he never hesitated to decapitate a superior. Through the seven year Campaign of the Thousand Tarns, he distinguished himself in glorious carnage, his star of fame shining ever brighter, while the number of comrades in arms steadily dwindled. On the night of ultimate victory, Axe declared himself the new Red Mist General, and took on the ultimate title of 'Axe.' But his troops now numbered zero. Of course, many had died in battle, but a significant number had also fallen to Axe's blade. Needless to say, most soldiers now shun his leadership. But this matters not a whit to Axe, who knows that a one-man army is by far the best.

Atropos, the Bane Elemental

When the gods have nightmares, it is Bane Elemental who brings them. Also known as Atropos, Bane was born from the midnight terrors of the goddess Nyctasha. A force of terror too powerful to be contained by sleep, he surfaced from her slumbers, fed upon her immortality, and stole his vaporous form from her inky blood. He is the essence of fear. Mortals who hear his voice hear their darkest secrets whispered in their ear. He calls to the hidden fear in every Hero's heart. Wakefulness is no protection, for Bane's black blood, continuously dripping, is a tar that traps his enemies in nightmare. In the presence of Bane, every Hero remembers to fear the dark.

Jin'zakk, the Batrider

There is no such thing as harmony among the creatures of the Yama Raskav Jungle. By bite, or claw, or pincer, or hoof, even the slightest sign of weakness means a swift death. They say the Rider was just a lad cutting chaff in his family's field when he was taken, swept up by a massive morde-bat looking for take-out. But this boy had a better idea, and wriggled his way from his captor's grip, onto the beast's back, and hacked it down with his tools. Emerging from the bloody wreckage and intoxicated by the thrill of flight, the boy realized he'd found his calling. The boy grew, and every summer he'd return to his family's field, often setting out into the bush seeking to reclaim that first thrill of facing death in the form of jaws or a fatal fall. The years went on, but his fire only grew stronger. He studied the overgrowth, plunging deeper with each expedition, until finally he found his way to the caves at the heart of hostility. They say the Rider, on the eve of a scorching summer night, had nothing but a rope, a bottle of liquid courage and a burning determination to feel the skies once more, when he plunged inside...

Jin'zakk's Bats

Jin'zakk has a number of different bats that he rides.

Fiery Tyl

The fiery tyl is a pteranodon that has a unique coloring on its hide and has grown larger than other pteranodons. Jin'zakk took a liking to it because of the colors on it's hide and is seeking to breed it to create a new species of flame-colored pteranodons.

Feral the Werebat

Jin'zakk once saw a human transform into a bat, and decided that he must capture it for his collection. He promptly did so. Feral both resents Jin'zakk for enslaving him, and respects him for his power and destructive nature.

Dreaded Forgewing

A goblin, whose name is lost to lore, once captured a giant bat and armored it. The giant bat then ate the goblin and it's entire clan, and then roamed the jungles as king. Until Jin'zakk found it.

Glowbat

The glowbat is a giant bat species that evolved bioluminescent traits to lure prey close. Once within striking distance, the glowbat attacks with a caustic venom.

Flame Bat

A fiend that has taken the shape of a bat, it's blood is as thick as tar. It willingly serves Jin'zakk, and seeks to guide him to burning down the world.

Bertha the Morde Bat

Morde bats are a species of giant bat that has evolved to grow large skull-like coverings over their head. This protects them and also increases the power behind their bites. Bertha was the largest morde bat that Jin'zakk found during his travels, so he made her his own.

Bessy the Batmeleon

A strange creature that hid itself inside a cave full of giant bats, Bessy would prey on the weaker giant bats and then use its camoflauge in order to disappear.

Torch

Torch is the name of Jin'zakk's original giant bat ride, and his clear favorite of the bunch. Torch shouldn't be alive right now, but is well cared for by it's master. It wears protective armor that also serves as protection from fire.

Karroch, the Beastmaster

Karroch was born a child of the stocks. His mother died in childbirth; his father, a farrier for the Last King of Slom, was trampled to death when Karroch was five. Afterward Karroch was indentured to the king’s menagerie, where he grew up among all the beasts of the royal court: lions, apes, fell-deer, and things less known, things barely believed in. When the lad was seven, an explorer brought in a beast like none before seen. Dragged before the King in chains, the beast spoke, though its mouth moved not. Its words: a plea for freedom. The King only laughed and ordered the beast perform for his amusement; and when it refused, struck it with the Mad Scepter and ordered it dragged to the stocks.

Over the coming months, the boy Karroch sneaked food and medicinal draughts to the wounded creature, but only managed to slow its deterioration. Wordlessly, the beast spoke to the boy, and over time their bond strengthened until the boy found he could hold up his end of a conversation—could in fact speak now to all the creatures of the King's menagerie. On the night the beast died, a rage came over the boy. He incited the animals of the court to rebel and threw open their cages to set them amok on the palace grounds. The Last King was mauled in the mayhem. In the chaos, one regal stag bowed to the boy who had freed him; and with Beastmaster astride him, leapt the high walls of the estate, and escaped. Now a man, Karroch the Beastmaster has not lost his ability to converse with wild creatures. He has grown into a warrior at one with nature’s savagery.

Credit: http://dota2.gamepedia.com/

Call of the Wild

A lot of Karroch's power comes from his passive ability, Call of the Wild. It summons a beast as his ally to the battle every round, creating an army with which to fight. He should probably start off with at least 3 beasts already with him, traditionally a hawk and two wild boars. The beast(s) summoned are up to the GM, and should be related to the environment. For example, a wolf or bear when in the forest, a killer whale while on the sea, a camel in the desert, etc. As a friendly reminder, dinosaurs (MM. page 79) are also beasts!

Strygwyr, the Bloodseeker

Strygwyr the Bloodseeker is a ritually sanctioned hunter, Hound of the Flayed Twins, sent down from the mist-shrouded peaks of Xhacatocatl in search of blood. The Flayed Ones require oceanic amounts of blood to keep them sated and placated, and would soon drain their mountain empire of its populace if the priests of the high plateaus did not appease them. Strygwyr therefore goes out in search of carnage. The vital energy of any blood he lets, flows immediately to the Twins through the sacred markings on his weapons and armor. Over the years, he has come to embody the energy of a vicious hound; in battle he is savage as a jackal. Beneath the Mask of the Bloodseeker, in the rush of bloody quenching, it is said that you can sometime see the features of the Flayers taking direct possession of their Hound.

Thirst

This signature ability of Strygwyr grants him incredible speed and damage output based on how many creatures are wounded in a vast, vast area around him. Depending on how powerful your PCs are or on how much of a challenge you want Strygwyr to be, consider including animals and the like around Strygwyr for the Thirst ability. A clever Strygwyr will use earthquake to ravage a forest or town, creating plenty of harmed creatures to utilize with his Thirst feature.

Gondar the Bounty Hunter

When the hunted tell tales of Gondar the Bounty Hunter, none are sure of which are true. In whispered tones they say he was abandoned as a kit, learning his skill in tracking as a matter of simple survival. Others hear he was an orphan of war, taken in by the great Soruq the Hunter to learn the master’s skill with a blade as they plumbed the dark forests for big game. Still others believe he was a lowly street urchin raised among a guild of cutpurses and thieves, trained in the arts of stealth and misdirection. Around campfires in the wild countryside his quarry speaks the rumors of Gondar’s work, growing ever more fearful: they say it was he who tracked down the tyrant King Goff years after the mad regent went into hiding, delivering his head and scepter as proof. That it was he who infiltrated the rebel camps at Highseat, finally bringing the legendary thief White Cape to be judged for his crimes. And that it was he who ended the career of Soruq the Hunter, condemned as a criminal for killing the Prince’s prized hellkite. The tales of Gondar’s incredible skill stretch on, with each daring feat more unbelievable than the last, each target more elusive. For the right price, the hunted know, anyone can be found. For the right price, even the mightiest may find fear in the shadows.

Mangix, the Brewmaster

Deep in the Wailing Mountains, in a valley beneath the Ruined City, the ancient Order of the Oyo has for centuries practiced its rites of holy reverie, communing with the spirit realm in grand festivals of drink. Born to a mother’s flesh by a Celestial father, the youth known as Mangix was the first to grow up with the talents of both lineages. He trained with the greatest aesthetes of the Order, eventually earning, through diligent drunkenness, the right to challenge for the title of Brewmaster—that appellation most honored among the contemplative malt-brewing sect. As much drinking competition as mortal combat, Mangix for nine days drank and fought the elder master. For nine nights they stumbled and whirled, chugged and struck, until at last the elder warrior collapsed into a drunken stupor, and a new Brewmaster was named. Now the new, young Brewmaster calls upon the strength of his Oyo forebears to speed his staff. When using magic, it is to his spirit ancestors that he turns. Like all Brewmasters before him, he was sent out from his people with a single mission. He wanders the land, striving toward enlightenment through drink.

Rigwarl, the Bristleback

Never one to turn his back on a fight, Rigwarl was known for battling the biggest, meanest scrappers he could get his hands on. Christened Bristleback by the drunken crowds, he waded into backroom brawls in every road tavern between Slom and Elze, until his exploits finally caught the eye of a barkeep in need of an enforcer. For a bit of brew, Bristleback was hired to collect tabs, keep the peace, and break the occasional leg or two (or five, in the case of one unfortunate web-hund).

After indulging in a night of merriment during which bodily harm was meted out in equal parts upon both delinquent patrons and his own liver, Bristleback finally met his match. “Your tusks offend me, sir,” he was heard to drunkenly slur to one particularly large fellow from the northern wastes whose bill had come due. What followed was a fight for the ages. A dozen fighters jumped in. No stool was left unbroken, and in the end, the impossible happened: the tab went unpaid. Over the weeks that followed, Bristleback's wounds healed, and his quills grew back; but an enforcer's honor can be a prickly thing. He paid the tab from his own coin, vowing to track down this northerner and extract redemption. And then he did something he'd never done before--he actually trained, and in so doing made a startling discovery about himself. A smile peeled back from his teeth as he flexed his quills. Turning his back to a fight might be just the thing.

Black Arachnia, the Broodmother

Dazzle, the Shadow Priest

Each young acolyte to the Dezun order must complete a series of rites before becoming a shadow priest. The final rite, the rite of shades, is a harrowing spiritual journey through the Nothl Realm, an unpredictable domain from which not all visitants return. Of those who do, some return mad. Others return with strange aptitudes. But all who go there are changed by their experiences. Driven by the need for enlightenment, Dazzle was the youngest of his tribe ever to request the sacred ritual. At first the order refused him, saying he was too young. But Dazzle was not to be dissuaded. Sensing something special in the headstrong young acolyte, the elders relented. Dazzle drank down the sacred potion and sat by the fire while the rest of his tribe danced through the night. In this ethereal dimension of the Nothl Realm, the properties of light and dark are inverted. Thus his brilliant healing light, beautiful to our eye, is actually a sinister kind of evil; and the darkest deeds are done in a dazzling glow. The elders' intuition was prophetic: Dazzle returned to his people as a Shadow Priest like none seen before, with the power to heal as well as to destroy. Now he uses his gift to fight his enemies and help his friends.
