Reason #16 of why I will never play a halfling, avoiding being a Bulette snack.

lolth goes out for fun, her avatar catches some bulettes and gates them to somewhere in the 9 hells..... and then pounts cause she cant watch the fun

These extra lore tibits, they add so much possible creative gameplay and story telling to the setting

Loving the VTT scenes!

Yo can you make a video on Gnolls? Classic underrated monsters. (If you have already sorry I’m blind and couldn’t find it)

I do love the simple lore for slightly out of the box monsters. Some of the more highend like drow and gith lore videos are a little unapproachable. But this fuels well planned and informed monster of the week type encounters and I love it

Player: Why do I hear the Jaws theme?

3:30 I feel it's worth pointing out that 2e, the path to Dis isn't just "near" Tiamat's lair. It's actually *inside* it. Literally a map of Tiamat's Lair from an the book Fires of Dis shows that it has a large central room with a good number of chambers branching off if it: one for Tiamat, one for her hoard, one for each of her five mates. But also located at the back of the central room is the giant iron door that lets into Dis. It wasn't just some abishai in the way. You literally have to walk through Tiamat's living room, passing by her and each of her consorts' bedrooms, to get to Dis. And she's the only one who can open the door.

Start a campaign with a session 0 in which the players list 6 races, 6 classes, and 6 backgrounds, and then unleash the bulette! Every round, the players roll 3d6 to determine which combination of race, class, and background, is eaten, with you narrating the kills. At the end of the 5 rounds, the players have a race/class/background combination mostly at random.

Give them the pseudonatural template or simply add tentacles and now you've got a graboid.

It's fascinating that pretty much all monsters that eat humanoids love the taste of Halflings.

I think it would be the egg albumen, not the yolk

Fantastic video!

Bulette males really set up an arena of death, fuck on top of the ground up bones, and then leave so the actual event can take place xD I wanna make an encounter where a bard or something found a Bulette doing this and watched, eventually seeing the end result of it all, and now hunts for more Bulette’s to find mating so he can make a spectacle out of watching the ensuing bloodbath

The scariest monster? Why? Because of burrow? There are dragons that burrow. There are UNDEAD dragons that burrow.

The old afvanced second edition boxed sets had a setting called red steel. In one of its introductory adventures book it had a bulette with insect like wings. Allowing the beast to also fly

*DC20 looks great!*

Betting the baby bulettes burrow down & eat other subterrain animals like moles & rabbit hutches for a few decades to grow. Also anything that COULD witness young bulettes probably ends up in their stomachs, using ambush tactics to eat quick meals. Imagine a deer being in a grove when a bullet leaps up & gulps it down quickly then back down underground.

So Illithids have souls too?

From the perspective of the really large and powerful monsters, this thing is very literally the ultimate embodiment of the weird phenomenon of obnoxiously hard to hit and tough small creatures (like turtles in particular, ironically enough!) in Rimworld are disproportionately dangerous, with an obscene ability to maim, mutilate, and outright amputate body parts as it eats you alive or n tiny chunk at a time. It’s no wonder even dragons will hightail it out of there rather than deal with it!

Imagine going to Heaven and finding out it's an infinite rat race/climb and you're starting at the bottom.

No way you pronounce Granite as "Gray knight" :)

My players got in a big fight. Someone died. They all went to jail. they chose to honor the death of one of the players by planting a magic bean in the dead players mouth (in the jail cell. This in turn spawned a burette out of their corpse (based on the table to roll). Fighting a bulette while trapped in a tiny jail cell was chaotic as can be

wow,dc 20 sounds like pathfinder. ....no,really. it feels almost entirely like pathfinder.

In Races of Stone 3.5 (the same book that introduces goliaths into 3.5), there are rules for hatching, raising, and training a bulette. It even has prices for buying bulette eggs and fully trained bulettes.

Did I hear a rock and stone?

there are so many worse things out there than a bulette. Your clickbait is stupid af.

Armored honey badger landshark😂

Not the scariest monster by a long shot, but a fearsome foe in the right conditions or in numbers.

Half a video with 11min of padding and native ad... You are getting worth less of a listen on every instalment, sorry to say. Edit: People don't seem to agree with me. I do like the fact that you're making these videos for more than just my questionable enjoyment. Don't take my opinion too hard and keep up the good work!

Any recommendations for a red dragon/Bulette mix? Mini boss for a game I'm running. I'd give it wings and fire breathing, and that'd be plenty but I could use other ideas.

6:20 sounds like pathfinder. Also, who thinks rolling too high is a waste?

I was honestly expecting you to pronounce it wrong (I'll admit I only knew how to pronounce it right because of the 2e MM). Full props.

LISAN AL GIAB!!

Where's the link to thst DC20 game session?

Wait, this is one of the oldest DnD monsters, and Dragon Magazine didn't tell us how they reproduce?

One of the most powerful arena monsters in dark sun ⛅️

If you make the conversions, Ac 10 is Ac 10, and Ac 0 is Ac 20

Wow it was hard to pick before watching this video

Does it work with yellow?

Everyone hates eating dwarves. It's the super dense, alcohol soaked muscle fibers.

I always called them 'bullets' cause of how they shoot out of the ground like bullets 😏😋🙃

It's a honey badger first and foremost, an alligator snapping turtle, and then an armadillo. The way this thing gives little to no fucks, is totally screaming honey badger to me.

Don't worry, i have a Bullette Proof Vest

If not friend, why friend shaped?

Add the word "nuts" after every time he says "Dis"

I remember my first encounter against a bullette , rough time for sure . It put the fear of Gods in me

alright calm down dude I tamed one and basically turned it into an outdoor cat. Yes I got a nat 20 on animal handling, but STILL.

THANK YOU! I have been wondering how the heck to pronounce Bullette for so long.

Love your videos on relatively lower CR monsters like this. They make for perfect one-shot and side quest inspiration ❤
