Description

The monster command allows you to: - Search for monsters by name - Filter by source (e.g., source:CR, source:Homebrew, "source:Monster Manual") - View detailed monster information including: - Basic stats (HP, AC, movement) - Ability scores - Attacks and damage - Special abilities and talents - Alignment and level - Source information

Examples

Search for a specific monster: 

!monster dragon

Search with partial name: 

!monster fire giant

Filter by source: 

!monster goblin source:CR
!monster goblin source:Homebrew

Search with multiple words and source: 

!monster fire giant source:CR

Notes

  • The search is case-insensitive
  • You can use partial names or multiple words
  • You can quote multi-word names "Giant, Fire"
  • Results are color-coded by alignment (Blue for Lawful, Grey for Neutral, Red for Chaotic)
  • If multiple matches are found, you'll see a list of matching names with their sources
  • The command displays monsters in an easy-to-read embed format
  • Custom monsters are only visible in the server where they were created
  • Core monsters (source: "CR") are available everywhere

Sources

The source can be any descriptive string you like -- even supporting multiple words with quotes. When multiple monsters match the search query, they are listed with their source in quotes. This is just a descriptive name to describe which book or resource this monster came from.

The data for core monsters came from the Unoffical Shadowdark Monster List by Michael Putlack of Night Noon Games.
