And, mostly, they’re right.
However, the work Wizards does is still crucial.
Recently, that bar was raised in the Monster Manual by the Haunting Revenant.
Haunting Revenant Is A Haunted House… As those of you who read the second paragraph will know, said beast is the Haunting Revenant.
Put simply, it’s a haunted house.
Wait, maybe I didn’t explain that correctly.
If you think of a mimic as a haunted chest, this is a haunted house.
Is it going in yet?
Should I switch to some other vocabulary?
This is not a house that, when you go inside, ghosts appear or paintings move their eyes.
It’s not a house that has hauntings inside of it.
It is a house that is itself possessed ie haunted.
This is not, I grant, an entirely original idea.
It also has a move (Invitation) which can force players inside if they fail a roll.
Slaves would also be a darker twist on this idea.
