List of all D&D 5e monsters: WotC + popular third-party sourcebooks

Overview

Xio's Guide to Monsters

If you're a DM like me, and you have multiple sources of D&D 5e monsters that include WotC as well as third-party suppliers, you may have struggled with how to actually make use of it all. The problem is that they're not in one place, so it's difficult to search across multiple books.

This is my attempt to create a single repository that includes:

  • all monster data in one CSV
  • Python scripts to create Markdown files for each monster out of the CSV, for use in tools like Obsidian
  • the created Markdown files with relevant parameters.

Note that the idea is to create an index of monsters to let you find the right one more easily, not a full copy of sourcebooks. Only the following fields for each monster are included:

  • Name
  • Size
  • Type
  • Environment
  • HP
  • AC
  • Initiative
  • Alignment
  • Legendary
  • Lair
  • Unique
  • CR
  • Tags
  • Source

You'll still need to own the relevant sourcebooks to see the full monster stats.

How to Use

If you just want a single list of monsters

... use monsters.csv. It has all the monsters stats, and you can open it up in your IDE or spreadsheet editor.

If you want to import the existing monsters into your Markdown-based editor

... download the Markdown files in /monsterfiles. The monster attributes are listed as frontmatter parameters.

Copy them into the directory used by your Markdown editor. You could use these in conjunction with the Obsidian Dataview plugin to search all monsters by any parameter(s) you choose. (That's what I'm doing!)

If you want to create your own monsters

... first, add new monster data in monsters.csv.

Then, install Python3.

Modify /scripts/create-md.py to change the dir variable with the filepath you'd like the files to be created under.

Run python3 create-md.py. All monsters in monsters.csv should now have a .md file with their parameters filled out.

The goal is to have everything from the core books and all of the most popular third-party content. Here's what's included now.
