Monsters Under The Tower

When I started this Megadungeon project back at the end of April, one of the things I really wanted to do was to take advantage of the opportunity of using many iconic monsters I've never used. The list includes, oddly, even Beholders, Dragons and Trolls, so this is something I should really do! I tried to turn the list into something more usable, dividing them between Bosses and Una Tantum monsters, trying to think also about minions, champions and things like these. This list is nothing but a guideline to use during the Ecology fleshing part of the work.
