In our last episode we learned that Demon Lords are bad news. But like, that's to be expected I think. This week Kyle and Alex learn about the lesser demons. You know, the ones that aren't powerful enough to actually become Demon Lords. Turns out these regular baby demons are also awful and quite powerful. They're not any better than the Demon Lords! Oh no! There are a ton of different types of demons and they each have their own pros and cons (I mean, from our human perspective, it's just one big list of cons. But from the demon's perspective, I'm sure they considered some of them pros). So come check out the episode and then let us know what you think. Normally this is where I would say "do you think they're friends or fiends" but since they're all awful, I'll change the question to this: If you were forced to summon one single demon, which type would you summon and why is it the Quasit? Then, we talk about Abyssal Infestations and the end of the world. It's not gonna be fun. Don't open portals to the Abyss! Other things Don’t miss out on all the action of our main podcast.

Ep 68. Backstory to the Future Part 7

There are a lot of demons. Like, an almost infinite amount of demons. So naturally, we couldn't cover them all in a single episode of Monster Friends. But if we tried to cover each type of demon separately, we'd be here for years. So, we've split our episode on demons up into two parts. In this episode we cover the Blood War (the never ending battle between demons and devils) and the most powerful demons of all, the Demon Lords. So come join Kyle and Alex as they discuss the chaotic beings that live in the abyss and help us determine if any of them are redeemable or if every demon really is nothing more than a fiend.

Ep 66. Backstory to the Future Part 5

"It's supercalifragilisticexpialidocious That Flesh Umbrella Darkmantle Is really quite atrocious" - Dick Van Dyke probably The Darkmantle is clearly a squid, but you don't need to go Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea to find it. Or any leagues at all for that matter. Once again Wizards of the Coast decided that an aquatic animal just lives in regular caves. So at least they're being consistent. But is the Darkmantle a friend or a fiend? Kyle and Alex discuss the pros and cons of this fleshy umbrella creature. Let us know what you think.

Ep 65. Backstory to the Future Part 4

"No, I don't know about any...pancakes. What do pancakes have to do with anything?" -I have absolutely no idea what the context of this quote is, but I googled 'Cyclops quotes' and this popped up. Whatever it is though, it's X-Men related  Cyclops suffer from what we're going to call 'Joan Jett syndrome'. They have a bad reputation. But that's mostly because they get mad when people steal things from them. Then those people are like "why you mad bro? Damn, these Cyclops are jerks." Meanwhile Cyclops is actually pretty chill and Odysseus is the jerk. Also, maybe elephants have been the true Cyclops all along? Join Kyle and Alex as they try to determine whether these one-eyed shepherds are friends or fiends. Other things Don’t miss out on all the action of our main podcast.

Ep 64. Backstory to the Future Part 3

"The Addams Family started, when Uncle Fester Farted" -I mostly just wanted an excuse to type out 'farted', but I guess a Crawling Claw is just Thing anyway so it kind of fits.   The Crawling Claw definitely has one of the most unique names in the Monster Manual. Ok maybe that's not true. But it does have the most unique... ummm, actually there is pretty much nothing unique about these little dudes at all. But that doesn't stop Kyle and Alex from having a blast with this week's episode. There's something just so perfectly silly and absurd about these severed hands that it's almost impossible for them to not sit at the top of any "best creatures in D&D" list. But are they friends or fiends? Give the episode a listen and then let us know what you think. Other things Don’t miss out on all the action of our main podcast.

Ep 63. Backstory to the Future Part 2

"I'm half a bird, a snake that flies away. I don't know where my soul is, I don't know where my home is." -Huh. Did you know that Nelly Furtado was a guardian of the gods? The Couatl is the most majestic creature we've covered on the show so far. It's a colourful, benevolent snake-bird protector demi-god that will never lie to you and always has you best interests at heart. Which is nice because the only other snakes I can think of are Kaa and the guy from the Simpsons and neither one of them are exactly stand-up characters. Oh and the guy from Smash Bros that I don't like playing as. So come give the episode a listen, learn about the D&D lore as well as the real life version of the Couatl and then let us know if you think they are friends or fiends.

They both find a treasure that they both individually deem 'my precious'.

Ep 62. Backstory to the Future Part 1

The Cockatrice in D&D lore is nowhere near as cool as it should be. So Kyle did some extra research and we talk about the origins of the real cockatrice. Honestly, the best part about this episode is that we learned that a 'Fart Egg' is a real thing. But is the Cockatrice a friend or a fiend?
