Evil Wizard of Duplicity and Duplication Manshoon is an evil, arrogant wizard who was an instrumental founder of the Zhentarim centuries ago. That Manshoon is dead, and the current Manshoon is one of the original’s many clones. Being a magical copy rather than an original doesn’t make Manshoon any less of a threat, as he’s amassed magical skill and political influence he uses for his own gain.…

The Ankylier invariably give their offspring names that convey strength or power by combining two words, and are usually in their native tongue Archosauric. Names are nether gender- or sex-specific. Common names include: Boulderfist, Ruggedhide, Ironguts, and Booming-Chest. If their names are in Archosauric, to a non-speaker they would sound like: Karko-ragh, Gurrgu, Oo-tarm-ma, and Vro-fath.
Within Mount Karao’kr, a hatching Jeholrak is typically given a simple name. However, once coming of age, Jeholrak begin to bestow upon themselves ever more extravagant names with reference to (supposedly) heroic deeds they have achieved.

Examples include: Borra, Chavazin, Guzzleguts, Vargrelly, Teaneethyn, Thricestrike or Tim.
A name is not given to a Manyhorn until its “right of adoption” has been completed. Names are then issued by a guild elder and each elder may follow a different naming convention. Some examples of different guild names are as follows:
The Pluvenn favour high-pitched squawky names spoken in their ancient Archosauric tongue, such as Skree, Kek, Kareese, or Pip. They also sometimes have names spoken in Common, such as William, Hermione, Richard, or Audrey. Typically, the naming convention of an individual village will be similar among its populace, either all having Archosauric names or all having Common names.

Ankylier Enchanters utilise their magical skills to add further value to the merchandise that the Ankylier forges produce. By commercialising their knowledge, they are able to imbue mystical energies into a piece of armour or weapon, granting it magical properties.

For many years it was assumed that ankylosaurs used their clubs exclusively to fight off predators. However, recent studies of Zuul ’s holotype have revealed that several healed injuries were likely the result of tail-club attacks from other Zuul. This indicates that it engaged in intraspecific combat, although its club was undoubtedly also used as a defensive weapon. Additionally, an…

“Zool” (after Zuul from Ghostbusters) As we moved over the rollin’ scrub, we came across somethin’ remarkable. A lone dinosaur feeding on scrub, entirely oblivious to us. Few times in my life had I ever come across such an unyieldin’ amount of muscle and armour. When I first saw this thing, I knew it was built for one thing and one thing only – defence. We studied it in detail. Armoured back,…
