Bonus YouTube: MonstROUS Manual Edition

April 23, 2009 by Dave

Just had to post this up as soon as I saw it. A music video walk through many classic D&D monsters… though more from the Monstrous Manual days than the Monster Manual days. If you ever wanted to hear somebody sing about a Beholder, this is the music video for you. Press info about the video after the cut.

    Plus it’s educational, like casually stating that Beholders live underground. Not all kids know that kind of stuff!

    At first I was a bit iffy on the music and animation, but then it sucked me in and I really started liking it by the end.
