The VOIDRUNNER'S CODEX is coming! Explore new worlds, fight oppressive empires, fend off fearsome aliens, and wield deadly psionics with this comprehensive boxed set expansion for 5E and A5E!
This is the impression I am getting. Chasing after a 'feeling' in a hobby can get expensive in regards to either time, energy, or money. If its not working, take a step back.
Its a bizarre feeling to be so weirded out by spider bite discussion (as I have issues with spiders) to the point that I feel I must leave the thread.
The mind is a terribly weird thing.
I think a Red Dragon stands in for the whole lineage of D&D, but that includes Pathfinder, or other 'not 5e' games at this point.
Therefore, Beholder is what I would go with.
