Big Bads: Most Wanted - 5e D&D Bestiary (PDF)

Ready to be BAD?

Originally conceived as a Boss-of-the-month zine for Patreon, Big Bads is an award-winning project spanning over 6 years and over 100 collaborators. 100% human-made.

Big Bads: Most Wanted collects 25+ more boss monsters from the Big Bads line and includes tons of new content - campaign frames, a new shadowy organization players can join, and campaign frames that connect multiple Big Bads into a larger story.

In the Big Book of Big Bads, we introduced the Big Bad Bureau - an organization that strives to keep the Big Bads in check. But the Big Bads happen to be card-carrying members of their own organization, G.E.I.S.T (Great Evil Inciting Supervillainous Threats)... and they're taking applications.

Do you think you’ve got what it takes to join their sinister ranks? 

If you want to show the Big Bad Bureau who the real boss is, now's your chance!
