WTF, D&D: Monster Manual V (3E)
Shardsoul Slayer
Zack: This is another one of those brainstorming sessions at Wizards clearly turned into a monster.
Steve: What? Look at this dude! He’s bada$$. He has knives all over him and a cool name.
Steve: Shardsoul Slayer.
Zack: He looks and sounds like a video game monster from the 1990s. Like something you would be fighting on the way up the stairs in a Castlevania game.
Steve: Those are classic games!
Zack: Also, is he somebody who slays Shardsouls or is he a Shardsoul who happens to be a slayer.
Steve: I mean, look at the guy. Does he look like anything other than a Shardsoul?
Zack: Unlike you, Steve, I try not to judge people on the way they look. This guy could have a family back home on the cutting board. Maybe he’s just trying to earn a living keeping the streets clean and taking out Shardsouls.
Steve: The mean streets of Castlevania.
