Zombies are one of the most iconic monstrous creatures not only in D&D and fantasy. And over the years of their existence, we saw different variations of zombies in movies and TV. However, today we will be looking at the D&D depiction of zombies and how to use them in our encounters.
Ghouls are an iconic lower-tier monster with their razor-sharp teeth and jagged claws, ghouls roam the night in packs, driven by an insatiable hunger for humanoid flesh. And today, we will try to learn how to use Ghouls in our combat encounters.

Sometimes, they even overuse them by making dull encounters for the party to level up. They are small, fragile, and any adventuring party could squash them in their way. But as a representative of the Dungeon Goblin here, I cannot have this. Killing and using Goblins just for low-level encounters must stop today. Goblin lives matter and Goblins must prevail, and today we will be looking at ways to creatively use them in our combat encounters.

So okay, what can we do to make an interaction with Babau stand out in your game?
