Mordenkainen’s Tome of Foes
Sometimes, people create horrible and unconscionable things all in the name of fantasy.
Mordenkainen’s Tome of Foes is D&D‘s upcoming adventure, to be released May 18, and its bestiary features something called the Sibriex.
It’s appeared before in D&D‘s 3rd edition, but in its current incarnation, it’s truly awful. The creature’s “blood and bile cascade” from its body. “Where these noxious fluids hit the ground,” the bestiary continues, “the landscape becomes polluted.”
What does that look like? Well, I’m glad you asked!
The Sibriex.
Bile. Blood. Ooze. Chains. Skin. Talons. Tongues. Warts. Let it all wash over you. The more you look, the worse it gets.
Despite it all, it’s got a Charisma score of 25 out of 20, the ability’s traditional peaks core. Maybe that’s because it “emits an aura of corruption 9.14m in every direction.” Or because it squirts bile.
Regardless, its huge amount of charisma means it can charm and command lesser creatures. Yes, with that face.

Totally going to call it “D and amp D” from now on…
I don’t think Mordenkainen’s Tome of Foes has an adventure in it, does it? I was pretty sure it’s just a supplementary book.
Yeah it’s a sourcebook like Volo’s and it doesn’t contain any adventures.
Yeah, that’s what I thought.
Yeah I thought it was weird they said adventure, this is a source book, though from what I’ve heard we;ve got a couple of new adventures coming late this year.
