Number five in my quest to draw the entire 5th Edition Monster Manual — the Thri-kreen. I don’t even know what to say about this guy. A large majority of D&D monsters are either taken directly from traditional folklore/mythology/horror sources, or are at least inspired by the same. These guys are just crazy desert-dwelling bug people. I believe they come from the Dark Sun setting, which is a sort of gritty fantasy post-apocalypse sort of thing. I actually recently completed a commission of a Dark Sun party that featured one of these guys, so I had already figured out how to draw them, which made this one easier!
