Marshmallow Peaks Bestiary

This file contains all 10 creatures of Marshmallow Peaks, from tiny sparkly hares to roaring avalanche spirits. Cold, beautiful, and surprisingly dangerous — especially when corrupted.

Snowfluff Hare

Beast — Marshmallow Peaks

HP: 8 | Dodge: 12 | Mettle: 0 | Corrupted DP: 2 | Attack Bonus: +2

Attack

Kick (1d4 bludgeoning) — A startled back-kick from powerful little legs. Mostly defensive.

Special Ability

Snow Vanish — When standing in snow or ice terrain, the Snowfluff Hare turns completely invisible until it moves or attacks. (Passive; enemies must roll DC 13 Perception to spot it in snow)

Weakness

Fire — Melts the snow it uses for camouflage and singes its delicate fur.

Loot

Frostdust Pouch

Corrupted Form

When touched by The Unwritten: Tiny black marks appear behind the Snowfluff Hare's ears — easy to miss at first. Its sparkling white fur dims to a greyish-silver, and dark scales emerge in patches along its haunches. Behavior: The hare no longer flees. Instead, it uses its Snow Vanish ability aggressively, reappearing for sudden strikes. Its movements become twitchy and erratic. Attack: Kicks now deal 1d4 + Frozen condition (DC 11 CON save) — the hare's claws carry cold dark energy. Defeating the corruption frees them.

Icecap Yeti

Giant — Marshmallow Peaks

HP: 25 | Dodge: 14 | Mettle: 1 | Corrupted DP: 5 | Attack Bonus: +5

Attack

Smash (1d10 bludgeoning) — An enormous fist that hits with the force of a small avalanche.

Special Ability

Startled Roar — When surprised or hit with a Stealth attack, the Icecap Yeti roars with terrifying volume. (DC 13 WIS save or gain the Scared condition — targets must use their Action to move away for 1 round)

Weakness

Fire — The yeti's thick ice-coated fur melts dramatically under fire, revealing a very embarrassed creature.

Loot

Frostbite Bow

Corrupted Form

When touched by The Unwritten: Black marks appear first on the Icecap Yeti's palms, spreading up its arms like dark tattoos. Jagged dark scales layer over its white fur, and its eyes lose their warm confusion, replaced with a cold, hollow blankness. Behavior: All politeness evaporates. The Icecap Yeti stops waiting to be startled — it charges immediately, roaring continuously, swiping at everything. Its massive size becomes a danger to the whole battlefield. Attack: Smash now targets all creatures in a 5 ft cone, and Startled Roar activates every round instead of only when surprised. Defeating the corruption frees them.

Crystal Lynx

Beast — Marshmallow Peaks

HP: 16 | Dodge: 14 | Mettle: 0 | Corrupted DP: 3 | Attack Bonus: +3

Attack

Claw (1d8 slashing) — Razor-edged crystal claws that leave faint sparkling cuts.

Special Ability

Prism Flash — The Crystal Lynx angles its crystalline fur to reflect light into enemies' eyes. (DC 12 AGI save or gain Blinded condition for 1 round; once per battle)

Weakness

Thunder — Sonic vibrations crack the crystal and disrupt the light-bending ability.

Loot

Moon Gem

Corrupted Form

When touched by The Unwritten: The Crystal Lynx's beautiful pale blue crystals turn a deep, murky violet-black. Dark scales fill the spaces between crystals like shadow mortar. Its light-reflecting ability warps — it now bends darkness instead of light. Behavior: The solitary, graceful lynx becomes unpredictable and territorial, circling prey before striking. Its reflections in the ice become unsettling distortions. Attack: Prism Flash becomes Shadow Flash — instead of blinding with light, it blinds with sudden darkness, and targets also lose their Quick Action on the affected turn. Defeating the corruption frees them.

Avalanche Spirit

Elemental — Marshmallow Peaks

HP: 22 | Dodge: 12 | Mettle: 0 | Corrupted DP: 4 | Attack Bonus: +4

Attack

Snow Crash (2d6 cold) — A churning wall of packed snow hurled at tremendous speed.

Special Ability

Blizzard Surge — Summons a localized mini-blizzard in a 15 ft area. (All creatures in area take 1d6 cold damage and have disadvantage on attacks for 1 round; DC 13 CON save to halve damage and ignore disadvantage; once per battle)

Weakness

Fire — Fire disperses the snow that makes up the spirit's form, forcing it to reform.

Loot

Frost Shard

Corrupted Form

When touched by The Unwritten: Black marks spiral through the Avalanche Spirit like smoke in a snowstorm. Dark scales crystallize within the swirling snow, giving its form sharp, jagged edges. The wind it carries turns from howling to a low, threatening drone. Behavior: The spirit grows in size and intensity, expanding its blizzard to cover more and more ground. It stops distinguishing between friend and foe. Attack: Snow Crash becomes a charging wave that hits all creatures in a 10 ft line, and Blizzard Surge now lasts 2 rounds. Defeating the corruption frees them.

Syrup Slug

Beast — Marshmallow Peaks

HP: 10 | Dodge: 10 | Mettle: 0 | Corrupted DP: 2 | Attack Bonus: +2

Attack

Slime Trail (1d6 bludgeoning) — A slow but surprisingly forceful slam with its sticky body.

Special Ability

Caramel Creep — The Syrup Slug's trail halves the movement speed of any creature that steps through it. (Passive; lasts until end of battle or cleaned up; affects a 5 ft trail behind the slug)

Weakness

Fire — Heat melts the caramel, destroying the trail and sending the slug into a panic.

Loot

Sweet Syrup Bottle

Corrupted Form

When touched by The Unwritten: The Syrup Slug's golden caramel body turns dark brown, almost black. Black scales bubble up through the caramel like hardened tar. Its trail, once sweet-smelling, becomes acrid and sticks like tar instead of syrup. Behavior: The passive slug becomes territorial, actively laying trails in circles around enemies to trap them. It seems almost pleased by the entrapment. Attack: Caramel Creep becomes Tar Trap — creatures that fail a DC 12 STR save when entering the trail are fully Stuck until freed, not just slowed. Defeating the corruption frees them.

Polar Cub

Beast — Marshmallow Peaks

HP: 14 | Dodge: 11 | Mettle: 0 | Corrupted DP: 3 | Attack Bonus: +2

Attack

Swipe (1d6 slashing) — A wide, uncoordinated paw swipe that somehow still stings.

Special Ability

Adorable Distraction — The Polar Cub makes its most irresistibly cute face. (DC 11 CHA save or target is Charmed — they cannot bring themselves to attack the cub for 1 round)

Weakness

Fire — Gets very dramatic and very loud when heated.

Loot

Fur Trinket

Corrupted Form

When touched by The Unwritten: Black marks appear around the Polar Cub's eyes like a sad mask. Dark scales grow along its paws, making the small claws sharp and threatening. The round, sweet face takes on a hard, hollow expression. Behavior: The Adorable Distraction is gone — replaced by aggressive posturing. The cub charges forward rather than charming, and its normally small swipes become a rapid flurry. Attack: Swipe becomes a multi-hit — two swipes per Attack action (each dealing 1d4 slashing), and the cub can no longer trigger Adorable Distraction. Defeating the corruption frees them.

Blizzard Bat

Beast — Marshmallow Peaks

HP: 10 | Dodge: 12 | Mettle: 0 | Corrupted DP: 2 | Attack Bonus: +2

Attack

Sonic Screech (1d6 thunder) — A burst of focused sound aimed at one target's ears.

Special Ability

Echo Locate — The Blizzard Bat navigates by sound, never suffering disadvantage from Blinded or darkness effects. (Passive)

Weakness

Fire — Warmth disrupts its sensitive echolocation.

Loot

Echo Lute

Corrupted Form

When touched by The Unwritten: Black marks ripple across the Blizzard Bat's wings like ink spreading across wet paper. Dark scales riddle the membrane, making each wingbeat sound like a drumbeat of dread. Its sweet cave song becomes a discordant shriek. Behavior: The bat no longer sings — it screams. It uses its echolocation actively to target the most vulnerable member of the party, always knowing exactly where everyone is. Attack: Sonic Screech hits all creatures in a 15 ft cone instead of a single target, and creatures who fail a DC 12 CON save gain the Deafened condition for 1 round (disadvantage on Perception checks). Defeating the corruption frees them.

Frostfang Wolf

Beast — Marshmallow Peaks

HP: 20 | Dodge: 13 | Mettle: 0 | Corrupted DP: 4 | Attack Bonus: +3

Attack

Bite (1d8 piercing) — A powerful, precise bite that clamps and holds.

Special Ability

Ice Breath Cone — The Frostfang Wolf exhales a 15 ft cone of freezing air. (All targets take 1d8 cold damage; DC 13 CON save to halve; once per rest)

Weakness

Fire — Fire evaporates the wolf's ice breath and melts its frost-coated fur.

Loot

Frost Fang

Corrupted Form

When touched by The Unwritten: Black marks appear across the Frostfang Wolf's muzzle, spreading back through its blue-white fur. Dark scales layer densely along its spine and shoulders. Its howl deepens from a hunting cry to a sound that seems to drain warmth from the air itself. Behavior: The wolf becomes a coordinated predator even without a pack, targeting the player with the lowest HP. Its Ice Breath recharges faster and it prowls constantly, never standing still. Attack: Ice Breath Cone becomes available every 2 rounds (not once per rest), and on a failed save targets also gain the Frozen condition for 1 round. Defeating the corruption frees them.

Caramel Golem

Construct — Marshmallow Peaks

HP: 24 | Dodge: 14 | Mettle: 1 | Corrupted DP: 5 | Attack Bonus: +4

Attack

Sticky Slam (1d10 bludgeoning) — An enormous caramel fist that splashes on impact.

Special Ability

Caramel Trap — The impact of Sticky Slam coats the target in caramel. (Target must succeed DC 12 STR save or gain the Stuck condition for 1 round)

Weakness

Heat — Any sustained heat source softens the Caramel Golem, reducing its Mettle by 2 (min 0) and its Dodge by 1 for each heat attack it suffers.

Loot

Caramel Gem

Corrupted Form

When touched by The Unwritten: The Caramel Golem's golden-brown body darkens to a deep, burnt black-brown. Dark scales harden through the caramel like obsidian shards embedded in toffee. The sweet smell it once carried turns acrid. Behavior: The Caramel Golem becomes aggressively sticky, reaching for players and trying to pin them. It focuses on restraining rather than damaging, holding targets in place while it slowly squeezes. Attack: Sticky Slam deals an extra 1d6 cold damage as the caramel freezes, and the Stuck condition now requires a DC 14 STR save to break free each turn. Defeating the corruption frees them.

Snowdrift Owl

Beast — Marshmallow Peaks

HP: 12 | Dodge: 12 | Mettle: 0 | Corrupted DP: 2 | Attack Bonus: +2

Attack

Talons (1d6 piercing) — Silent, precise strikes from above with no warning.

Special Ability

Snow Burst — The Snowdrift Owl claps its wings, sending a burst of blinding snow at a target. (DC 12 AGI save or gain Blinded condition for 1 round; once per battle)

Weakness

Lightning — Disrupts the static in its feathers that keep it silent.

Loot

Feather Pendant

Corrupted Form

When touched by The Unwritten: Black marks web across the Snowdrift Owl's white feathers like frost in reverse. Dark scales cluster around its beak and talons. Its legendary silence becomes oppressive — like a sound void that makes nearby creatures uneasy. Behavior: The owl circles endlessly above the battlefield, never landing, diving for sudden Talon attacks that are nearly impossible to anticipate. Attack: Talons deal an extra 1d4 cold damage, and Snow Burst can be used every 2 rounds instead of once per battle. Defeating the corruption frees them.
