A 5E Supplement of Myth and Folklore

Korean folklore about mythical beings is more than a list of fantastical creatures—it’s a window into the values and worldview of the Korean people. Shamanism and Confucianism run through it, and its stories are woven into everyday life.
A hallmark of this tradition is that most spirits aren’t born good or evil. Their nature is shaped by how they lived—or died. That idea reflects deeply rooted Korean notions of justice and karma: unresolved wrongs or neglected duties can twist a soul into a vengeful ghost. 
We’ve tried to recreate every creature faithfully, and our artist Julia, with great care and love, has illustrated each monster exactly as we imagine them. All these pieces should help you craft an engaging campaign or a memorable encounter.

Key Features:

• • 40+ Unique Monsters & Spirits: Encounter a massive variety of mythical beings, including the boat-swallowing Tanjueo, the mind-bending Odoksini, and the majestic Cheonma.
  • Ready-to-Play 5E Mechanics: Every creature comes complete with detailed descriptions, 5E-compatible abilities, and full stat blocks.
  • Optimized for Mid-Tier Play: The encounters are perfectly balanced for a party of two to three heroes between levels 7 and 10.
  • Adventure Hooks Included: Drop these legends straight into your campaign with built-in adventure hooks and strategic GM recommendations for each monster.
  • Legendary Magical Items: Reward your players with unique artifacts drawn straight from folklore, such as the wish-granting Yeouiju (Dragon Pearl) or the evil-repelling Gyeonggwiseok stone.
  • Stunning Visuals: Bring your encounters to life with gorgeous, full-color art for every entry by Julia.

RULES AND RECOMMENDATIONS

All creatures are built for Dungeons & Dragons 5E and play best with a party of two or three heroes, levels 5—10. To get the most out of the bestiary—especially the spells, abilities, and stat blocks—players will need access to the core 5E rulebooks: Player’s Handbook 2014 or 2024 (PHB), Dungeon Master’s Guide (DMG), Monster Manual (MM), and Xanathar’s Guide to Everything (XGE).
