New Dungeon World Monsters inspired by J.E. Holmes’ fan novel “Maze of Peril”…

Dagonite Priest (Solitary, Magical, Intelligent)

Warps reality (d8 damage) 12 HP, 0 armor

A human priest of the Cult of Dagon, now touched by the madness of the Old Ones.

Instinct: Corrupt

Transform Human Cultists into Dagonites

Serve the Cult of Dagon (Cthulhu)

Command Dagonites

Spread Madness

Dagonite (Group, Small, Construct)

Trident (d6 damage) 3 HP, 0 armor

Special Qualities: Human transformed by Dagonite Priest, Slave Capturing Nets, Cannabalistic, Aquatic

A worshipper of Dagon (Cthulhu) transformed by a Dagonite Priest in a foul ritual into a sterile servitor slave race of frog-fish men. Dagonites will go insane if their controlling creator Dagonite Priest is killed. Some (50%) will then attack everything in sight in a berserker rage (+1 to all attacks) including each other while others (50%) mindlessly flee. If any survive long enough they will return to human form now loathing the Cult and its entire works. Recovered humans can never be transformed again but retain their gills and ability to breathe water. A distant, lesser cousin to true Deep Ones or the Underdark’s Kuo-Toas; Dagonites are used as cannon fodder in the Cult of Dagon’s war against the Amazons and the Cult’s pirate raids and slavery operations.

Instinct: Devour Infidels

Worship Dagon

Obey your Priest Master

Capture Slaves

Hope the world will end

Very nice

PS. I read dragonite, lol

What does “+1 to all attacks” mean mechanically? Do you mean +1 to damage done by the monster?

Derek Jones +1 to damage and any other applicable rolls as ruled by the GM
