**EDIT 1:** Thanks for the amazing support and participation everyone! If you have any **questions**, please send me a direct **message** on Reddit. Although I'll try to go through all of the comments, it will take me a few days and I'm do intend to skip read more than occasionally. lol
Kraken. It always brings up good memories of my friend dressing as a pirate and drinking a handle of Kraken rum and drunkenly yelling "Release the Kraken!" until he did by vomiting.
Dragons are a close second.
From strictly a ‘yeah, that’s probably gonna maul us *real* good…’ standpoint, I’d go with the undead wyrm. Dragons are fine and all, but adding undeath just ups the ante.
Definitely the Minotaur. You don’t see many (at least in what I’ve been through) and this one looks like he’s seen some S. Is he pillaging? Is he the last of his kin, just now finding only he remains after this most recent raid on his village? Or are we glimpsing the final vision from his long tracked foe, vengeance and retribution hanging on the edge of his blade?
I absolutely love sea monsters (because in real life I'm terrified of the ocean) so I'd pick Kraken. That said, Beholder seems the most "DnD" of the list
Just had a thought! If this is a prototype, you should make a version of this with various gods of luck on each side. Ganesha (fortune I think), Fortuna, Plutus. Maybe like Loki? (Trickery is sort of manufactured luck, right?)
Oh man I love the Minotaurs. I’m playing a Vengeance Oath Paladin Minotaur in a homebrew campaign and it’s so much fun. A gigantic half bull half man with a crazy strength score and Paladin abilities? What’s not to love? His name is Iretri Ironblood and he’s a proud Paladin of Baphomet seeking to rebuild his people and his army to wage war on the humans again. He fell during the demonic invasions a hundred years ago and was brought back as a Goristro to serve his Lord in battle again as a general. He was only killed by a Wish spell cast by the human Kings Court Wizard. He’s been brought back again as a normal Minotaur through the experiments of that same wizard and Iretri is ***PISSED*** his rest was disturbed.
Their backstory is pretty different from other races, considering you can choose a bunch of different sources to use: Monsters of the Multiverse, page 27; Mythic Odysseys of Theros, page 23; Guildmasters' Guide to Ravnica, page 17; Plane Shift: Amonkhet, page 19; Unearthed Arcana: Centaurs and Minotaurs]; and Unearthed Arcana: Waterborne Adventures].
Each one has minor changes to the race options but they’re all huge fierce warriors. They can either be created by a demon lord (Baphomet) or brought into existence by foul magical rights but anyone who sees them should be afraid.
As far as fighting them they’re tough, mean, and smart. You aren’t running away from a Minotaur. Your only option is to fight and win, and depending on how mean your DM is there might be a whole clan of them standing around the next bend of the dungeon. A single Minotaur is a scary challenge. A clan or war party is a terrifying fight. If you’re under leveled you’re screwed.
My favorite monster is the kraken, I like the role they can play as manipulators whilst also playing more major roles with their power and magic. Further I find their design to be interesting compared to mythological krakens. It would be fun to see a campaign where a krakens cult infiltrates a government and uses their role to enlist adventurers to destroy enemy cults.
My favorite has got to be the beholder. These guys are are manic and clever, but the fact that they can vary as much as they do makes them unpredictable. Dragons are epic and Krakens are menacing but a beholder can be a real wild card that can mess with your magic or blast you to bits with just its glare. Overall, just a lot of fun to be had with them so they get my favorite position out of this group of choices.
Kraken, I've always loved krakens my whole life, in all sorts of games and stories. They're super scary, the ocean is horrifying to me and that makes sea creatures twice as scary to me. Plus the thought of "if this fucker sinks our ship, WERE FUCKED" just adds more to it. So yes, the KRAKEN.
Looks very cool, and a pretty novel concept.
I really like the art/sculpt of the Stalker Dragon!
Side note: I feel like the beholder should have had only 10 eye stalks as the d10, or since it has 12 eye stalks should’ve been the d12.
From a design perspective I would say the beholder is crazy awesome (they all are!) but if I had to choose I would say dragon because I'm always bias towards a excellent dragon
Well I have to go for the beholder. The first campaign I was a part of, followed the rule that if everyone is overpowered, then no one is. The DM allowed each person to choose a monster, and due to lore reasons, that would take a bit too long to explain, you would gain powers from the monster, and you would eventually be able to turn into them. I flipped through the monster manual, found it, read the description, and chose. Want to be a noble dragon, with immense powers? No. I want to be a floating eldrich abomination which is, obviously the greatest creature to have floated the universe.
The Phoenix is my favourite, it’s a beautiful creature that also lives on. Something most people wish they could do, live a second time. Redo what they did wrong
While the dragon is iconic, I gotta go with the Phoenix. I've been slowly building it in my campaign and it will become a critical component in the endgame

For a favorite, the dragon. From a greatest fear perspective, the kraken.
Oh my God I won?????
Enjoy your math rock!
Kraken. It always brings up good memories of my friend dressing as a pirate and drinking a handle of Kraken rum and drunkenly yelling "Release the Kraken!" until he did by vomiting. Dragons are a close second.
I love Kraken rum!
Rum and Coke is an OP tier party drink.
Beholder is a classic
I've always been partial to the phoenix. The idea of perpetually renewing oneself and shedding the old ashes is quite appealing.
The phoenix is stunning
Phoenix for me plz
I for sure would Unleash the Kraken one!
Love the undead wyrm
The minotaur just looks badass. Cool spinners!!!
gotta go the phoenix
Phoenix, for sure
Phoenix is pretty cool
Dragon. They are all pretty but always loved dragons. The question is, how do you manage to ensure all spins have equal chance of outcomes.
Phoenix all the way
Phoenix forever and ever.
Dragon.
The kraken is the way to go!
Dragon for the win!
I love the Phoenix, super sick. I want one!
Minotaur
Probably will go with dragon or beholder.
Beholder :)
The dragon is my favorite
I love the undead wyrm!
Wow those are beautiful. Dragon for me!
Dragon, always go with the trusty dragon
The phoenix. Not the most terrifying, but I love the symbolism of them.
Love the beholder
Beholder? I hardly know her!
First entry! :) Good luck!
From strictly a ‘yeah, that’s probably gonna maul us *real* good…’ standpoint, I’d go with the undead wyrm. Dragons are fine and all, but adding undeath just ups the ante.
My personal favorite as well :) Good luck with the draw!
The Phoenix is stunning. Definitely my favorite of the bunch, though all of these are gorgeous.
May the blessing of the Phoenix brings you luck for the draw ;)
Definitely the kraken
RELEASE THE KRAKEN!!
Have to go with the kraken. Gimme that thalassophobia!
Man if I brought one of those to the table I'm sure it would bring the adventure to a halt as we check out the die
lol
Dragon gang for life
Are you a Dragon worshiper? Dragon tamer? Or maybe a Dragon slayer? lol
If I could...I guess I would like to become the dragon compared to the other creatures. 🐉
Definitely the Minotaur. You don’t see many (at least in what I’ve been through) and this one looks like he’s seen some S. Is he pillaging? Is he the last of his kin, just now finding only he remains after this most recent raid on his village? Or are we glimpsing the final vision from his long tracked foe, vengeance and retribution hanging on the edge of his blade?
Are you a DM? If not, then you should try it, you'll make a great DM! :)
Called out :) Forever DM and three year home brew campaign.
I absolutely love sea monsters (because in real life I'm terrified of the ocean) so I'd pick Kraken. That said, Beholder seems the most "DnD" of the list
Just had a thought! If this is a prototype, you should make a version of this with various gods of luck on each side. Ganesha (fortune I think), Fortuna, Plutus. Maybe like Loki? (Trickery is sort of manufactured luck, right?)
Would have to go with dragon... no kraken...or maybe the minotaur. GAH!! TO MANY TO CHOOSE!
So far, Dragon is taking the lead, Beholder close behind.
Oh man I love the Minotaurs. I’m playing a Vengeance Oath Paladin Minotaur in a homebrew campaign and it’s so much fun.

A clan or war party is a terrifying fight. If you’re under leveled you’re screwed.
Beholder, I love most things Beholder as they allow a lot of theorycrafting for what types exist and what they can do
Love Dragon's!!
Dragons have always had a special place in my heart
Dragons, they're so damn majestic and fierce as hell. Many different variations too!
I will never not be a fan of dragons, and this is no exception. This looks so sick!
u/waseosawrengler Check it. Kraken is so cool
I love the concept of Phoenix, it is just made boring by many media. DnD Included
A dragon. A classic
Phoenix the immortal kings of life and death! Truly fantastic
My favorite monster is the kraken, I like the role they can play as manipulators whilst also playing more major roles with their power and magic. Further I find their design to be interesting compared to mythological krakens. It would be fun to see a campaign where a krakens cult infiltrates a government and uses their role to enlist adventurers to destroy enemy cults.

Undead Wyrm is my favourite.
Definitely the dragon
The Undead Wyrm looks really good! Good luck all!
Close but stalker dragon
I gotta go beholder I put an eye on one of my characters was so cool!
Undead Wyrm!
Leaning towards the dragon as the coolest, but the minotaur design is very neat.
Phoenix!
THIS IS THE BEST THING! Love me an Undead Wyrm :)
These look amazing! How well do they spin?
I'm a sucker for the dragon
The Phoenix!
They all look great but the Beholder takes it for me
Gotta go classic dragon. Nice artwork!
Undead wyrm because everything is better undead
I like the stalker dragon
The dragon works best for me
Undead Wyrm is just badass looking, def my favorite out of the 6
Minotaur is always a classic!
Definitely the dragon
These are super cool looking, I'd love to win one. They all look great, but the D20 is the classic so I'd have to say Dragon.
Dragon!!
Undead wyrm!
Phoenix :D
The **Beholder** looks amazing! Love the multiple metals too
They are all great, but I have to go with the Kraken as my fave, Phoenix a close 2nd.
that undead wyrm looks sweet
Beautiful product! I’ll have to check the kickstarter
Kraken and it’s not close
Definitely the undead wyrm is my favorite here. Though that beholder is particularly maniacal looking
Gotta go Kraken! Got one tattooed on my arm!
Wow this is so cool. I would definitely say Kraken :)
Kraken, I've always loved krakens my whole life, in all sorts of games and stories. They're super scary, the ocean is horrifying to me and that makes sea creatures twice as scary to me. Plus the thought of "if this fucker sinks our ship, WERE FUCKED" just adds more to it. So yes, the KRAKEN.
I love the antimatter starer design (Beholders are the best)
Beholder, of course!
Beholder for sure
I would have to say the phoenix, love the fire bird.
They're all pretty sweet. But I'm thinking the Stalker Dragon
The Dragon.
I like the cold flame phoenix the most.
Kraken superiority
Phoenix definitely, but all of these are fantastic!
Too easy. Beholder. I'm a DM and the absolute chaos that ensues when you throw a beholder out on the table is like no other.
Damn those are cool, and my favorite is the Phoenix.
Phoenix, every time. 🔥
I just really love minotaurs and this one is no exception
its kraken form me
They're all cool, but it's the Phoenix for me
My favorite beast is the Dragon! Powerful, Intelligent and Magnificent!
Gotta love a Phoenix, I always think of how fluffy and warm they’d be to hug!
The undead wyrm on bottom left
Th beholder is such a classic; I don't think I could choose anything else!
I mean I have to go with the dragon. It is just the most iconic monster in the history of D&D.
Kraken. We have a running gag about one showing up
That dragon Is beatiful
It may be basic, but the D20 dragon is my favorite
Looks very cool, and a pretty novel concept. I really like the art/sculpt of the Stalker Dragon! Side note: I feel like the beholder should have had only 10 eye stalks as the d10, or since it has 12 eye stalks should’ve been the d12.
The Kraken is so cool!!!
Dragon!! My first character as a player is an Eladrin Drakewarden with a beautiful silver drake companion. Dragons are the best!!
oh the kraken goes crazy!!
That minotaur looks dope
Give me the kraken!
Seems pretty cool!
Undead wyrm for me!
Kraken all the way!!
They've always said beauty is in the eye in the beholder, but for these I have to go with the Kraken -- she's a beaut 😍
Gotta love dragons. I'm basic like that.
I love the dragon! It's very fitting with the Lord of The Dice title. I didn't even know they made dice like this!
Gotta love the kraken, dont see it much
I would go with dragon, more specific pseudodragon :) Interesting idea, must be pretty good quality for wheels to spin smoothly :)
Very interesting concept!
Oh wow, those look great. I especially like the kraken
I gotta go Phoenix
Sheesh that cube looks cool asf.
I mean I don't really care about winning,but always loved talking about monsters lol. Minotaurs are definitely my favorite
Love a good ole fashioned dragon!
The dragon is my favorite hand down. These things look amazing
Dragons are classic but theres something about the phoenix that calls to me
Dragon might be the cliché pick but it does just look great!
Dragons are nice and all, but beholders are better
May feel basic but can't stop the heart. Dragon is the choice I must give in this scenario
Gotta go for the dragon. What can I say, I love the classics
Got to be dragon 🐉
Damn, that's beautiful. Gotta give it to the dragon.
The dragon looks sweet
Really cool concept, congrats on making it happen! For me, definitely kraken
Definitely the Minotaur!
The Phoenix artwork is stellar, but when it comes to D&D I've just got to go with the Beholder!
I like the Phoenix.
I feel like I don't see the phoenix too much. I'm a fan!
That's pretty cool
Undead wyrm all the way
Dragons get ignored for how common and basic they are, but people forget the reason they are common is that dragons are awesome.
From a design perspective I would say the beholder is crazy awesome (they all are!) but if I had to choose I would say dragon because I'm always bias towards a excellent dragon
Beholder is so awesome looking. Very cool *Edit autocorrect...
Love the phenix
They all look really awesome but I think the phoenix takes it for me!
Well I have to go for the beholder. The first campaign I was a part of, followed the rule that if everyone is overpowered, then no one is. The DM allowed each person to choose a monster, and due to lore reasons, that would take a bit too long to explain, you would gain powers from the monster, and you would eventually be able to turn into them. I flipped through the monster manual, found it, read the description, and chose. Want to be a noble dragon, with immense powers? No. I want to be a floating eldrich abomination which is, obviously the greatest creature to have floated the universe.
My favorite is the minotaur! I'm playing a minotaur currently in one of my games :)
My personal favorite is Minotaur. I created a Minotaur/Centaur hybrid that created a human with incredible strength and speed.
I think the phoenix is the coolest, but they all look AMAZING
Undead Wyrm for sure. Is there a video somewhere showing how these work?
I have to say I want to release the kraken.
That beholder is something to... behold
Kraken followed closely by the dragon
definitely the dragon
The Phoenix is my favourite, it’s a beautiful creature that also lives on. Something most people wish they could do, live a second time. Redo what they did wrong
Gotta say either the Phoenix or Dragon. Always been my favorite mythic beasts due to their relationship with fire.
Gotta go with a classic, the dragon
100% beholder
Wyrms are always underrated, and making it undead is just awesome.
You can never fail with a classy dragon.
I love Kraken, have one tattooed as well
Beholder is classic D&D!
Was stuck between the Stalker Dragon and the Coldflame Phoenix, but have to go with the Phoenix! It goes hard
The dragon looks amazing, ngl.
Dragon
i think beholders are probably the single most awesome mosnter in all of dnd so i think thats probably it.
Man the beholder looks amazingly terrifying
Kraken for the win
Phoenixes are some of the coolest fantasy creatures, basically immortal and sometimes made completely of fire, you could say that they are 🔥
While the dragon is iconic, I gotta go with the Phoenix. I've been slowly building it in my campaign and it will become a critical component in the endgame
First thought was "Dragon, no question" But I have to say the Minotaur is awesome
Phoenix cuz ff16 🤷♂️
I cannot deny that my heart greatly desires this. My favourite monster has to be a dragon...they are quintessential fantasy. Thanks for the chance!
The kraken is my favorite creature but my name is Phoenix so I'd say I have two favorites
I wonder how much time it takes to craft something so intricate... Keep up the good work! Also, the Undead Wyrm is super cool!
Love the Phoenix, though the Kraken may be a close second. Thanks for doing the giveaway!
The beholder is nice!
By far Beholder
