Spectator

At a Glance

An aberration and a beholderkin.

Spectators are beholderkin, and therefore pretty much universally hated. However, these creatures are guardians and potentially even friendly… as long as you’re just there to talk.

Slimes

This information is intended for use with the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game.

At a Glance

Slimes, like molds, are considered hazards rather than monsters, probably because they don’t move (much).

So far this category consists of green slime. The similar flareater is ambulatory and properly considered a monster.

At a Glance

Halaster is a wizard— the infamous Mad Mage of Undermountain, though he may be encountered anywhere in the Realms.  Most of his still-living apprentices live in Undermountain as well, including Arcturia, Muiral, Nandel Greenward, and Trobriand.  Another one-time apprentice, Jhesiyra Kestellharp, left Undermountain in the early days and later became the Magister.

It’s believed that his name was once Hilather.

Thanatar

This information is intended for use with the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game.

At a Glance

Thanatars are constructs created by Trobriand, an apprentice of Halaster.  They are typically found only in Undermountain, but it’s theoretically possible that they might stumble through portals leading to other places.  Of course, it’s far more likely that PCs will stumble through a portal into Undermountain and find them there.
