Zariel is a devil not a demon

Tarrasque absolutely did NOT deserve to be #2. I would've given it like #7 being generous.

you kinda forgot that Bahamut spawns a whole bunch of gold Dragons, pushing him way above Tiamat.

Niv-Mizzet is TERRIFYING, that dual-concentration thing is just absolutely ridiculously overpowered when you look at his spell list.

Another shortcoming of the Tarrasque is its lack of ranged attacks. If you sit on a flying mount and shoot it with arrows, there is literally nothing it can to to stop you.

I was surprised the Tarrasque even was on the list

I’m surprised they don’t require you to use a Wish spell to finish of the Terrasque anymore. THAT made beating it even more of a pain.

In my last Campaign my party fought both Orcus and Niv-mizzit. I will say we were Lvl 14 when we fought Niv-mizzit and Lvl 20 when we fought Orcus. As a result Niv-mizzit was easily the hardest boss fight our group encountered in our 1.5 year campaign and im pretty sure our DM even nerfed some parts of him. His insane spell casting ability along with the movement of a dragon was almost too much for our party we had at least 5 ko's during the fight and one death. Orcus was fairly tough especially since our DM gave him a legendary action that just refilled his hitpoints to full. But aside from that and the Conjure undead, we had a lot more tools to deal with him. And he was far more vulnerable to our bloodhunter/barbarian and rouge/fighter to just bash away on him

"fighting a Tarrasque on its own terms, is basically impossible"

yeah tell that to my dad's friend, whos Minotaur Barbarian jumped into its mouth and ripped his way out of its chest with its god damn heart between his horns.

the DM literally left to get more snacks he was so flabbergasted XD

Today I just discovered DnDlogs after being a Duellogs watcher, literally both of my favorite games

My party fougth Zariel at the end of Avernus, although she was already a little beaten up, having fought in the blood war with a distraction they created to save the city.
She appeared in front of them furious... the fight was intense, they were hyped but scared at the same time, one of them died and another fell, the only ones left alive were the last 2 members of the group who had less than 10 hp . Surprising end to the campaign. Totally recommended AND amazing video!

do people forget that Klauth the Great Wyrm from the sword coast exists? MFer is like CR 39 and is old enough to remember the war between giants and dragons. he has like a state sized valley all to himself because no one ever wants to go near him... because he kills them... very fast.

I am surprised that the Scion Giants in that Giant book didn't make it in this video xd

Ancient Gold Dragons have literally the same physical damage as Ancient Red Dragons and their Breath weapon deals more damage than a Red Dragons so they are objectively better than Reds, it’s not a trade off they’re just straight up better

As a 3.5 veteran, every time you say "in d&d" my brain is screaming only in 5th Edition. Not a single enemy mentioned even reaches top 10 in 3.5. A greater wyrm  prismatic dragon can literally kill every thing mentioned in this list in 1-2 turns.

Zariel was an angel who fought demons who got turned into a devil pretty much due to her lust for killing demons, pretty much the opposite of a demon lord.

niv mizzet has the terrifying prismatic wall + reverse gravity combo he can tpk very veyr easily

I think its worth mentioning, when talking about which damage types are best. The ranks are from the perspective of the players. Plenty of monsters resist poison, acid, and fire. But that doesnt mean plenty of player characters do

Crazy the first one is a gold dragon! I played a character once, a Cleric that was a Dragon Rider, the dragon was created using a part of his heart. Near the end of the campaign, my character died and his god, seeing the unfairness of his departure, decided wkth the acceptance of his dragon to switch their bodies as a godly interaction, turning my character into an adult Gold Dragon. After the end of the campaign, he continued his journey and eventually became an ancient Gold Dragon, extremely respected by both humans and watched by the god he still follows. Gosh I miss that character

My D&D group fought a Displacer Beast in our last session! The DM had to do some serious fudging of dice and repeatedly ask about our current HP in order for us to not get TPK'd by it.

We.. Uh... We're a long way off ever seeing any of the creatures in this video.
