- Mind Flayer
The Monster Manual describes Mind Flayers as “the scourge of sentient creatures across countless worlds. Psionic tyrants, slavers, and interdimensional voyagers, they are insidious masterminds that harvest entire races for their own twisted ends. Four tentacles snake from their octopus-like heads, flexing in hungry anticipation when sentient creatures come near.”
We are joined by V.J. Harris.
V.J. (they/he) is a professional TTRPG book hoarder—their friends have likened them to a dragon—living in the Midwest. He is one of the authors of the Platinum best-selling DMs Guild supplement “An Elf and an Orc Had a Little Baby Vol I” and one of three designers of the original 5e compatible game “Those Who Wander.” They can be found on Twitter and TikTok @vjhcreations.

The Monster Manual describes unicorns as creatures with “a single spiraling horn of ivory whose magical touch can heal the sick and the injured. Its ears catch the words and whispers of the creatures that share its domain, and it knows the tongues of elves and sylvan folk. Unicorns allow good-hearted creatures to enter their woods to hunt or gather food, but they hold evil ever at bay. Foul-hearted creatures seldom leave a unicorn’s domain alive.”
In this episode, we are joined by Honey, whose pronouns are she/her.
Honey is a GM and storyteller, host of the Tea with Honey Podcast and creator of the Embrace the Initiative Workshop. A cyber security professional and disability/medical challenges advocate, she is also a charity event organizer who uses gaming and internet safety education as ways to raise awareness to important causes.

About Kill Every Monster
From the publisher's feed
Kill Every Monster is an award-winning Dungeons and Dragons podcast about every monster in the manual. Co-hosts Dylan and Aram are joined by a guest for a DM-deep-dive into a classic D&D…
monster. The first part is a discussion, and the second is a one-shot actual play where our guest takes on the role of the monster. Dungeons & Dragons is many things to many people, but at its heart lies a system that rewards players for killing monsters. In each episode we ask three central questions: What is this creature? Are they really a monster? How would you change them in Dungeons and Dragons? Each episode of Kill Every Monster is a contained story, so you never have to worry about being caught up or listening out of order. Pick any monster you like and dive right in! The show is free and available anywhere you get your podcasts. We are supported by listeners like you via Patreon where you can get ad-free versions of each episode a week early, and Patreon-exclusive bonus episodes like our DM Notes and and Cutting Room Floor series.
