These are weird and obscure monsters largely from the forgotten pages of Dungeons and Dragons. The black and white ink rendering is a nice homage to the original monster books (such as the Monster Manual from 1977 and the Fiend Folio from 1981).
First out, starting alphabetically, is the Achaierai - first appearing in the Fiend Folio, and making it into the 3rd edition Monster Manual before falling out of grace. Described as a spherical head-body, with a powerful beak and a feathery crest, atop four long legs ending in strong claws.
For those interested, I've also had a go at adapting the monsters for the the newest D&D rule set (5th edition), and you can see these at the other blog.
