Creature Loot: Volo’s Guide to Monsters
Banderhobb (5) - monstrosity (nature)

Note: Unless the Banderhobb is killed in the Shadowfell, only the Tarry Goo and Wisps of Shadow can be
harvested
1d4 Gobs of Tarry Goo: Can be thrown using a non-organic mechanism. Make a ranged weapon attack,
without proficiency if you are using an improvised mechanism. On a hit, it sticks to a creature for 3
rounds, dealing 3 (1d6) necrotic damage at the start of the creature's turn. The creature can use its
action to safely scrape off the goo.
1d4 Wisp of Shadow: Destroyed if exposed to sunlight. 5 of these can be carefully crafted (Evocation) by
a spellcaster into a Shadow Crossing, a portal that leads to the Shadowfell. The portal is permanently
affixed to the location where it is crafted. 20 of these can be mastercrafted (transmutation) by a
spellcaster into a Portable Hole.
1 Hag’s Shadow Stone: Contains the soul of an evil creature. Destroying the stone puts the creature’s
soul to rest. Can be mastercrafted by a spellcaster (Transmutation) who knows a particular dark ritual
into a Banderhobb. The Banderhobb has a 50% chance of disobeying non-evil commands.
2 Banderhobb Eye: A creature that can cast spells can use the eye to cast Scyring or Find the Path as an
action. Casting one spell consumes the eye. When used this way, the range of the spell is limited to 1
mile.
Barghest (4) - fiend (religion)

1d4 Barghest Fangs: Acts as a dagger. If the fang is used to reduce a humanoid creature to 0 hit points,
that creature's soul is trapped inside the fang. The soul remains in the fang until the fang is destroyed.
While in the fang, any form of revival targeting the soul only has a 50% chance of working.
1 Barghest Hide: Acts as a cloak. While wrapped in the cloak, a humanoid creature can use an action to
polymorph into a goblin, as per the Polymorph spell. Once the cloak has been used in this manner, it
can't do so again until the next dawn.
1d4 Barghest Claws: Acts as a dagger. As an action a claw can be crushed by a creature to cast Minor
Illusion, centered on the claw. The illusion appears as the creature intended, but with slight changes that
indicate a fiendish nature to the image or sound, such as abyssal runes on the image or screams behind
the sound.
1 Heart of Gehenna: While holding the heart, it can be used to cast Plane Shift as a ritual. Only the
creature holding the heart may shift. This consumes the heart. When the spell is cast, roll 1d20. On a 1,
the bearer is shifted to the plane of Gehenna instead of the intended destination.
Beholders
Death Kiss (10) - aberration (arcana)
1 Death Kiss Eye: Requires attunement. A creature attuned to the eye is aware of any creature that isn't
undead or a construct within 30 feet of it, even through walls and floors, as they can sense the blood
flowing through their veins. The attuned creature cannot be surprised by these creatures while attuned
to the eye. Can be mastercrafted (smith's tools) into a Sword of Wounding.
5 Death Kiss Tentacles: Acts as a whip. 4 Death Kiss Tentacles can be mastercrafted by a spellcaster
(Conjuration) to summon a Spectator to guard a location for 101 years. However, the Spectator loses its
Eye Ray action and gains the Death Kiss's Tentacle and Blood Drain Actions.
3d4 Vials of Death Kiss Blood: Difficult to handle, deals 5 (1d10) lightning damage per round to any
organic material in contact with it. If a spell or magic item requires blood of a particular race to function,
Death Kiss Blood counts as blood of that race. Additionally, for spells that require blood as a material
component, using Death Kiss Blood allows the spell to be cast as if it were one spell level higher than the
slot being used to cast it.
2d10 Death Kiss Teeth: 20 teeth act as a bag of caltrops. Can be carefully crafted (jeweler's tools) into
dice that always roll their highest value if they are in contact with blood before being rolled.
Gauth (6) - aberration (arcana)

1 Large Gauth Eye: Requires attunement. A creature attuned to the eye is constantly under the effects
of a Detect Magic spell. The attuned creature cannot be surprised by creatures carrying magic items or
creatures created by magic, such as undead or constructs. Can be carefully crafted by a spellcaster
(Divination) into a Wand of Magic Detection.
3 Small Gauth Eyes: Acts as an arcane focus. The eye can cast a particular Gauth ray once per day. The
ray is determined randomly by the DM when the Eye is received.
1 Vial of Beholder Slime: Acts as Oil of Slipperiness.
2 Gauth Tentacles: Acts as a whip. 4 Guath Tentacles can be mastercrafted by a spellcaster (Conjuration)
to summon a Spectator to guard a location for 101 years. However, the Spectator loses its Eye Ray
options and gains the Gauth's Devour Magic Ray, Enervation Ray, Pushing Ray, and Sleep Ray.
Gazer (1/2) - aberration (arcana)

1 Gazer Eye: Acts as an arcane focus. The eye can cast a particular Gazer ray once per day. The ray is
determined randomly by the DM when the Eye is received.
Bodak (6) - undead (religion)

2 Bodak Eyes: No immediate use. Can be carefully crafted by a spellcaster (evocation) into an Amulet of
Withering, which can cast Inflict Wounds (+5 to hit) once per day. When cast this way, the spell has a
range of 60 feet. 2 Can be mastercrafted by a spellcaster (Necormancy) into a Poison of the Bodak. A
humanoid creature that imbibes the potion must make a DC 13 Constitution saving throw. On a failed
save, the creature takes 21 (6d6) poison damage. If the creature is killed by this damage, it immediately
returns as a Bodak. The Bodak is hostile to all living creatures. On a successful save, the creature takes
half the poison damage and is not transformed into a Bodak if killed.
1 Bodak Hide: Requires attunement. Any creature within 30 feet of the Bodak Hide takes 5 necrotic
damage at the start of its turn. Undead, fiends, and the attuned creature are immune to this effect. The
attuned creature has this immunity during the 1 hour attunement process, but if the creature abandons
the attunement before it is completed, they take necrotic damage equal to the amount they would have
taken if they had not been immune to it. If the Bodak Hide is exposed to sunlight, it loses these
properties and becomes nonmagical.
1 Zombified Hand: Acts as an arcane focus when casting necromancy spells.
1 Dessicated Heart of Orcus: While holding the heart, it can be used to cast Plane Shift as a ritual. Only
the creature holding the heart may shift. This consumes the heart. When the spell is cast, roll 1d20. On a
1, the bearer is shifted to Orcus's layer in the Abyss instead of the intended destination.
Boggle (1/8) - fey (religion)

1 Vial of Boggle Oil: Contains either slippery oil or sticky oil, determined randomly when received.
Slippery Oil: As an action, you can douse yourself in oil. For 1 minute, until the oil dries, you gain
advantage on Dexterity (Acrobatics) checks made to escape bonds, squeeze through narrow spaces, and
break grapples.
Sticky Oil: As an action, you can douse yourself in oil. For 1 minute, until the oil dries, you gain
advantage on Strength (Athletics) checks made to grapple, and any ability check made to hold on to
another creature, a surface, or an object. During this time, you can also climb difficult surfaces, including
ceilings, without needing to make an ability check.
Catoblepas (5) - monstrosity (nature)

1 Catoblepas Hide: Acts as a cloak. Any creature other than a Catoblepas that starts its turn within 5 feet
of the cloak must succeed on a DC 16 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned until the start of their
next turn. On a successful saving throw, the creature is immune to the stench for 1 hour.
1d4 Catoblepas Hooves: Acts as a hammer. Can be carefully crafted (jeweler's tools) into 1d6 dice that
always roll lower than the average of their faces. 4 of these can be mastercrafted by a spellcaster
(divination) into Poison of Misfortune. A creature that imbibes the poison must succeed on a DC 16
Constitution saving throw or be poisoned for 1 hour. During that hour, the first time the creature would
roll a natural 20 on a 20-sided die, they treat the roll as if it were a natural 1 instead.
1 Catoblepas Tail: Acts as a club. A creature struck by the club must succeed on a DC 16 Constitution
saving throw or be stunned until the start of the attacker's next turn. Once this property has been used
three times, the club loses its magic and becomes a mundane club. While being carried, the club rattles
conspicuously, causing disadvantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks.
2 Catoblepas Eyes: Can be carefully crafted by a spellcaster (evocation) into a magical talisman. As an
action, a creature can use the talisman to cast Inflict Wounds (+5 to hit), using their melee spell attack to
touch the talisman to the target. Once the Talisman successfully casts the spell, it can't be used again
until the next dawn
Cave Fisher (3) - monstrosity (nature)

1 Cave Fisher Filament: Acts as 25 feet of rope that is nearly invisible to the naked eye, requiring a DC 15
Perception check to see. 3 of these can be crafted (weaver's tools) into 25 feet of rope that has 5 hit
points, requires a DC 18 Strength check to burst, and has the following property: any creature that
touches the rope becomes stuck to it. An unwilling creature with speed greater than 0 can make a DC 14
Dexterity saving throw to avoid be touched by the rope. Once stuck, a creature must use their action
and succeed on a DC 13 Strength check to pull the rope off of themselves.
1 Cave Fisher Carapace: Sells for a high price. Can be carefully crafted (jeweler's tools) into a small but
valuable item, worth 5 times as much as its normal cost. Can be carefully crafted (smith's tools) into a
pair of gauntlets that ignore the sticky properties of rope made with Cave Fisher Filament.

class, grants advantage on all Strength checks and Strength saving throws for 10 minutes. Can be
carefully crafted (brewer's tools) into an alcoholic beverage that grants advantage on all Strength checks
and Strength saving throws for 10 minutes to any creature.

hit by the poisoned weapon or ammunition must make a DC 12 Constitution saving throw or
take 3d6 poison damage. Additionally, the creature is poisoned for 1 minute. The creature can repeat
the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
Cranium Rat (0 or 5) - beast (nature)

Poison of Graz'zt. The poison is a powder that can be dispersed into an adjacent 5-foot cube as an
action. A creature in the space of the powder must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or take
3d6 poison damage and use its reaction, if available, to move as far as its speed allows away from the

1 Cloak of the Archfey: Requires attunement. An attuned creature can use their reaction to turn invisible
and teleport up to 60 feet to an unoccupied space they can see. The creature remains invisible until the
start of its next turn or until it attacks, makes a damage roll, or casts a spell. Once used, this ability
cannot be used again until the next dawn. Curse. While a creature is attuned to the cloak, they must
make a DC 14 Charisma saving throw at the end of each long rest and when they use the cloak's ability.
This saving throw is rolled with disadvantage if made due to the cloak's ability. On a failed save, a vision
of an Archfey (an illusion without stats) appears to the attuned creature, offering mystical power in
exchange for servitude. If they are turned down, the Archfey becomes an enemy of the creature for the
rest of their mortal life. If their offer is accepted, the character's next level must be a level in the
Warlock Class, using the Archfey Patron subclass.

saving throw, it can add a d10 to the roll. It can do this after the roll is made but before any of the roll's
effects occur. Once used, this ability cannot be used again until the next dawn. Curse. While a creature is
attuned to the amulet, they must make a DC 15 Charisma saving throw at the end of each long rest and
when they use the amulet's ability. This saving throw is rolled with disadvantage if made due to the
amulet's ability. On a failed save, a vision of a Fiend (an illusion without stats) appears to the attuned
creature, offering fiery power in exchange for servitude. If they are turned down, the Fiend becomes an
enemy of the creature for the rest of their mortal life. If their offer is accepted, the character's next level
must be a level in the Warlock Class, using the Fiend Patron subclass.

attuned creature can designate any number of creatures within 5 feet of it. Those creatures must
succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or take 10 (3d6) psychic damage, provided the attuned
creature isn't incapacitated. Once used, this ability can't be used again until the attuned creature takes a
short or long rest. Curse. While a creature is attuned to the mask, they must make a DC 15 Charisma
saving throw at the end of each long rest and when they use the mask's ability. This saving throw is
rolled with disadvantage if made due to the mask's ability. On a failed save, a vision of a Great Old One
(an illusion without stats) appears to the attuned creature, offering ancient power in exchange for
servitude. If they are turned down, the Great Old One becomes an enemy of the creature for the rest of
their mortal life. If their offer is accepted, the character's next level must be a level in the Warlock Class,
using the Great Old One Patron subclass.
