Since we've started posting some 5E creatures here, it seems prudent to have links to all of them in one place. This Index only covers completed conversions.
The Completed Fifth Edition Creatures Index includes links to monster writeups on both D&D Beyond (Monsters) and Enworld (General Monster Talk).
The majority of these monsters are conversions from early editions of D&D (i.e. AD&D Monsters Converted to Fifth Edition and 5E Monsters Based on Third Edition Sources), but some are 5E Monsters Inspired by Fourth Edition or Alternate Takes on Official 5E Monsters. Others are based on D&D-adjacent sources such as White Dwarf Magazine (see White Dwarf Conversion Index) or are Homebrewed original works.
This will be indicated using the following tags:
A = AD&D Monsterᴬ (1E or 2E)
B = BECMI Monsterᴮ (including OD&D)
3 = Third Edition Monster³
4 = Fourth Edition Monster⁴
5 = Fifth Edition Monster⁵ ("Reimagined")
P = Pathfinder Monsterᴾ (All Editions)
W = White Dwarf Magazineᵂ
H = Homebrewᴴ (New Monster)
Note that some monsters are multi-tagged because the thread they appear in (the first tag) is different from the actual source (the second tag). For example, a Giant Horsefly (Tabanid) has its own Homebrew Thread but the monster has AD&D origins so it is tagged HA. Similarly, the Blackscales are extra-tough generic lizardfolk conversions in the AD&D thread inspired by a monster from 3E's Monster Manual III, so are tagged A3.
