Beast 5e D&D

In the context of the fantasy role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons (D&D), the term “beast” refers to a type of creature that is characterized by its animal-like nature and lack of intelligence. Beasts are typically non-humanoid in shape and are not capable of speaking or understanding language.

In the 5th edition of D&D (also known as D&D 5e), beasts are a category of creature that includes a wide variety of animals and other natural creatures such as bears, wolves, and giant spiders. These creatures are found in many different environments and have a range of abilities and characteristics.

To create a beast character in D&D 5e, you would need to choose a specific beast to use as a template for your character. You could then use the statistics and abilities of that beast to determine your character’s attributes, such as its size, speed, and attack abilities.
