Kill Every Monster Realm
-
- Leisure
Kill Every Monster is an award-winning Dungeons and Dragons podcast about every monster in the manual. Co-hosts Dylan and Aram are joined by a guest for a DM-deep-dive into a classic D&D monster. The first part is a discussion, and the second is a one-shot actual play where our guest takes on the role of the monster.
Dungeons & Dragons is many things to many people, but at its heart lies a system that rewards players for killing monsters. In each episode we ask three central questions:
What is this creature?
Are they really a monster?
How would you change them in Dungeons and Dragons?
Each episode of Kill Every Monster is a contained story, so you never have to worry about being caught up or listening out of order. Pick any monster you like and dive right in!
The show is free and available anywhere you get your podcasts. We are supported by listeners like you via Patreon where you can get ad-free versions of each episode a week early, and Patreon-exclusive bonus episodes like our DM Notes and and Cutting Room Floor series.

Djinni
The Monster Manual describes jinni as “rare elemental creatures out of stories and legend. Only a few can be found on the Material Plane. The rest reside on the Elemental Planes, where they rule from lavish palaces.”

Displacer Beast
The Monster Manual describes Displacer Beasts as a “monstrous predator that takes its name from its ability to displace light so that it appears to be several feet away from its actual location. A displacer beast resembles a sleek great cat covered in blue-black fur. The beast’s eyes glow with an awful malevolence that persists even in death.”
We are joined by Neal Powell.
Neal—whose pronouns are he/him—is a content creator and podcaster that has rambled on about TTRPGs for years on both the Dungeon Master’s Block and DM-Nastics. He is one mind behind Quantum Ogre Publishing that brought to life the Ultimate Guide to Hair, which you can find on DriveThruRPG. He can sometimes be found on Twitter @joatmoniac.
