Here are the best swamp monsters in Dungeons & Dragons!
They are large creatures that can ensnare and engulf combatants with their leafy tendrils.
Plus, lightning does not affect this creature and can restore its health.
This makes the shambling mound a great option for DMs contending with large parties that they need to separate.
Similarly to the shambling mound, the violet fungus necrohulk can absorb other creatures during combat.
This makes this creature great for high-level parties, as it has lots of strong abilities.
These monsters take toughness to a whole new level.
The best feature this creature has is its Animating Spores ability, which allows the myconid to reanimate corpses.
This is a great combat encounter for horror campaigns and striking fear into the hearts of your players.
An awakened tree is just that, a tree thats come to life to attack the party.
This will force your players to never take anything for granted again.
On their own, these creatures are not very tough to take down.

But, as a mob, they can prove formidable.
These monsters are perfect for a D&D one-shot.
Consider using twig blights inmob-based battle encountersthanks to their Pack Tactics feature.
Shambling Mound by Robson Michel
These creatures are also fantastic minions for a larger boss or creature.
It can escape later on with a DC 12 roll.
In fact, these creatures dont really attack at all and cant really be used for larger combat encounters.

However, there is a creative use of this creature available to DMs.
Unlike most plants, this blight actually has resistance to fire and necrotic damage.
Between a series of tough physical attacks, this blight can deal a lot of damage quickly.
Violet Fungus Necrohulk by Viktor Titov
The toughest feature the party will have to contend with against the gulthias is its Life-Draining Root ability.
This ability can grapple targets and deal necrotic damage.
Treants make for good boss battles for mid-level parties.
Myconids by Caroline Gariba
The treant has multiattack and a ranged attack in the form of its Hail of Bark.
These trees then take on the treant stat block.
