Archway Walker | 5E Creature
A new creature is here to help dungeon masters introduce unique encounters and dungeon delves into their campaigns. Check out the archway walker by using the PDF below!
A manifestation of the creator god’s final dreams and memories, an archway walker appears as a walking foundation with four legs that carries a portal on its back. The archway walker slowly wanders where it sprang into existence, never traveling further than a day’s journey in either direction out of fear of crumbling into dust. It has one purpose, to find creatures worthy enough to enter its archway portal and experience the last thoughts of the creator god.
Found in secluded and forgotten areas of the world, Archways are doorways to various pocket dimensions created by a large amount of spiritual essence left over after the death of the creator god. Each Archway leads to a unique situation, born from the dreams and memories of the creator god. Once an Archway closes, the event ends, and anyone left inside is ejected out atop the now crumbled archway walker. If an archway walker is killed, the archway portal hovers above the slain creature for 8-hours before vanishing.
For Dungeon Masters
Archway walkers and archway portals are a means for Dungeon Masters to challenge players with puzzles, one-shots and unique dungeons without disrupting a campaign. Missing a player for the session? Want to take a break from being in a jungle and give the group a snowy landscape encounter? Let the players find an archway walker wandering nearby to send them on a unique challenge or let them make a mental note and come back when they're ready.
