We Have Darkvision

This week The Gang meets a B-list Celebrity (if we're being generous) and a Snake. They're left with some tough choices and Nubz finds another use for The Mirror That Doesn't Rhyme. Then, with the challenge of Temple of the Golden Orb complete, they're ready to head back to their own realm. But someone is waiting for them with aims of making their life more difficult.

Here it is! The most important episode of Monster Friends we'll ever do! It's Dragon time!

Well, ok. That might be a bit of an exaggeration. Dragons are really cool, very powerful and a pretty diverse bunch, but despite being the eponymous creatures of the game we play, they might not actually be the most important monsters around. This week Kyle and Alex learn about the 10 different types of Dragons, breaking down The Good, The Bad and The Greedy. Did you know that Dragons are all Clint Eastwood? Did I just make that up? Maybe, but you'll never know unless you listen to the episode. So go do that and then let us know if you agree with our rating of Dragons. Are they friends or fiends?

On this week's episode, The Gang try to solve the puzzles in the next rooms of the Temple. It gets a little stressful when Bort forgets that he can't breathe underwater though. Will Kroy get over his new found hate-on for Bort? Will Nubz put her paddle to good use? Or will the team finally fail and die, locked in a room in a realm of existence that no one can find?

Kyle and Alex take this week off, but if we didn't tell you that, you'd never know because we had our doppelgangers do the episode for us!Doppelgangers and other similar creatures have existed in various forms pretty much since the beginning of time. Evil twins, lookalikes, supernatural spooky mirror copies, shapeshifters; they all fall into the category of Doppelgangers. Join Not-Kyle and Not-Alex as they learn about these Blue Man Group knockoffs and try to decide once and for all: Are Doppelgangers friends or fiends?Give the episode a listen and then let us know how you would rate them.

On this week's episode, The Gang attempts to prove that they are worthy of entering the Temple of the Golden Orb. Bort and Kroy hate each other for a while, and Nubz learns something new about Flamingoes. Oh, and Bark Scruffalo has a minor mishap.This temple is fun!And don't forget, you can come by out website or check out our instagram to see the full map of The Temple of the Golden Orb!

This week Kyle and Alex travel all the way to the Feywild to learn about the giant mutant kitty cat known as the Displacer Beast.The Displacer Beast isn't just a giant murder cat though. It's also a walking, talking* science experiment, so not only do we learn about the lore behind Displacer Beasts, we also learn the lore behind all of science**.So come give the episode a listen and then let us know what you think. Are Displacer Beasts friends or fiends?*I don't think it talks. I'm not even sure it purrs. It probably screams or something weird like that. ** Ok, maybe not all of science. Maybe just a grade school science experiment.

On this week' episode, The Gang gets a reminder about the power of mirrors, and learns a lesson (or more likely, they didn't learn this lesson, but they should have) about the importance of taking notes when you discover that one of your allies might actually be a bad guy. Bort gets back to his normal self, Kroy gets even sneakier than he was and Nubz talks to a tree.

This week Kyle and Alex get prehistoric and learn all about Dinosaurs! That's right, there are dinosaurs in Dungeons and Dragons. Unfortunately the Monster Manual gives incredibly little detail about them. But, on the other hand, there is so much information available about real life dinosaurs! So Kyle starts the episode giving a brief rundown of how he would use dinosaurs in a campaign, and looks at one of the official D&D adventures with Dinosaurs in it. Then, Alex and Kyle do a little research on something called 'The Bone Wars', a man with the best name of all time, and the real versions of the coolest reptiles in the world. So come learn about The T-Rex, Triceratops, Allosaurus and more! Then let us know if you think dinosaurs are friends or fiends.

On this week's episode Nubz spends a lot of time as an Eagle while Bort and Kroy consider burning down an entire forest to get rid of a couple spiders. Then the gang get worried about mushrooms and discover something that has been missing for centuries.

There are 13 tiers of devils. We've already learned about the two highest tiers of devils in our episode about the Arch Devils and the Rulers of the Nine Hells. This week we're moving on to their devil underlings, and that means we have 11 more types of devils to talk about.

Now, 11 types of devils might seem like a lot to remember, but thankfully devils have a much better naming scheme than demons do. Bone devils are the ones that look like bones, Chain Devils are the ones that have chains, Spined Devils are the ones with spines etc. It's pretty straight forward.

So come join Kyle and Alex to learn all about the grunts and commanders that make up the ranks of the armies of Hell. They're obviously all fiends, so we don't do a rating of friend or fiend, but we do decide that there is one devil that we'd probably hang out with if we absolutely had to. Let us know if you think the same way!
