{"product_id":"dungeons-dragons-reference-cards-monsters-animals-and-npcs-en-aug-18-2026","title":"Dungeons \u0026 Dragons: Reference Cards: Monsters - Animals and NPC's (EN)","description":"\u003ch2\u003eEvery Creature, Every Encounter — Right at Your Fingertips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRunning a session means keeping a hundred things in your head at once — plot threads, NPC names, player intentions, and whether the rogue is about to do something inadvisable. The last thing a Dungeon Master needs is to pause the momentum of a great scene to flip through a 300-page book looking for a wolf's stat block. These \u003cstrong\u003eDungeons \u0026amp; Dragons Reference Cards: Monsters — Animals and NPCs\u003c\/strong\u003e put the creatures you reach for most often directly on the table, ready to use the moment your players wander off the road or pick a fight in a tavern.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in the Box\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis deck covers the bread-and-butter of low-level D\u0026amp;D encounters: 87 beast cards spanning everything from common CR 0 critters to more threatening CR 5 predators, plus 25 humanoid cards for the guards, bandits, cultists, and common folk that populate every town, dungeon, and wilderness your players pass through. Each card is self-contained — a complete stat block with all the numbers you need to run the creature without opening a single book. The large, art-driven card format makes them easy to read at a glance, and easy to hand across the table to a player who just polymorphed into something.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith 112 stat cards total and an instruction card to get you oriented, this deck is built for table utility. Slot a card behind your DM screen, deal them out for a multi-creature encounter, or fan them on the table when your druid wants to know what wild shape forms are available. The CR 0–5 range makes this the essential deck for campaigns in their early chapters — and for Dungeon Masters who run one-shots, conventions, or introductory games regularly, that sweet spot covers the majority of what you'll actually use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWho This Is For\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese cards are a supplement, not a replacement — they work alongside the \u003cem\u003eMonster Manual\u003c\/em\u003e rather than standing in for it. If you already own the core rulebooks and find yourself reaching for the same creature entries session after session, this deck removes that friction entirely. New Dungeon Masters will appreciate having common creatures laid out in a clean, accessible format without the overhead of navigating a full bestiary mid-session. Veteran DMs running published adventures in the first-through-fifth-level range will find the beast and humanoid selection remarkably well-suited to the kinds of encounters those campaigns demand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWizards of the Coast\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSystem\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDungeons \u0026amp; Dragons\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEdition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompatible with 2024 revised core rules\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBook Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSupplement — Reference Cards\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eContents\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e112 stat cards, 1 instruction card\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCR Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCR 0–5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCard Types\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e87 beast cards, 25 humanoid cards\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCard Deck\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLanguage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEnglish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAugust 18, 2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Wizards of the Coast","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44621595279448,"sku":"WTCD6041","price":34.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/4980\/8728\/files\/cGc_407e1ff6-35ce-43af-a4e2-60f81d4499ef.jpg?v=1787079487","url":"https:\/\/borealgaming.com\/products\/dungeons-dragons-reference-cards-monsters-animals-and-npcs-en-aug-18-2026","provider":"Boreal Gaming \u0026 Cards","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
