Coming Soon: P.T. Lamark’s Cryptid Codex

A new Dungeons & Dragons 5e bestiary inspired by American folklore, featuring cryptid monsters from all 50 U.S. states with stat blocks, lairs, and adventure hooks.

If you are a Dungeon Master looking to bring fresh monsters to your campaign, our next book is for you. P.T. Lamark’s Cryptid Codex: A Bestiary for 5e is a new collection of monsters for Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition, inspired by cryptids and American folklore.

A Cryptid Monster from Every State

This upcoming 5e bestiary includes cryptids from all 50 U.S. states, from swamp dwellers of the bayou to shadowy figures in the Appalachian mountains. You will also find world-famous legends like Bigfoot, Mothman, and the Jersey Devil, each reimagined with full 5e stat blocks, lair details, and encounter hooks so they are ready to drop directly into your game.

  • Regional lore that ties each creature to real-world myths
  • Unique lairs and regional effects for atmospheric encounters
  • Adventure hooks and story seeds that make prep faster for DMs

Our community loved Mutated Monsters, our first 5e monster book that explored magical evolution and strange science-fantasy creatures. Cryptid Codex is the spiritual successor to that project, but this time the inspiration is folklore. These monsters are designed to feel like they could be lurking just beyond the treeline in your world.

Where Mutated Monsters asked what happens when magic rewrites nature, Cryptid Codex asks: what if every tall tale, campfire story, and eerie sighting was real?

Built for Dungeons & Dragons 5e campaigns

Whether you are running a horror one-shot, a cryptid-hunting mini-campaign, or you just want a surprising encounter, this book is designed for fast use at the table. Each monster includes balanced stat blocks, lore, and guidance for weaving it into an ongoing campaign.

Launching soon on Kickstarter

P.T. Lamark’s Cryptid Codex is coming soon to Kickstarter. Sign up on the pre-launch page to be notified the moment the campaign goes live.

We will share previews in the weeks ahead, including first-look monsters, lore excerpts from Lamark’s “field notes,” and a peek at the journal-style design.
