Monstrous Menagerie: From Stranger Woods

Four fantastical new fey monsters for your 5E game! The goat-horned ochokochi with a bony cleaver; the capricious trickster poludnitsa;  the angelic-looking samovila, ladies of drought and harvest; and the repulsive via, with their gaze of dread. These creatures are inspired by Eastern European folklore. By Artem Serebrennikov; illustrated by Sade.

I think each of these creatures are awesome and indispensable... But for that reason I also feel like art here would have gone a long way! It did feel like something was missing. :p

Liked these quite a bit and will use several, if not all, of them in my campaign. I do wish that you included an image for each of the creatures. I know that art is expensive, but I would rather pay for an article on a single creature, with more detailed background and one or more good-quality images than have several monsters in one article with just statblocks, minimal description, and no artwork depicting the creatures. Others may feel differently, but I can find lots of free "crunch" on blogs and discussion boards. It is quality writing, competent editing, and nice artwork that makes up a package I feel good about paying for.

It gets two claw attacks under normal circumstances, and those two plus an additional cleaver attack if grappling.

Pg 2, The ochokochi makes two claw attacks **"and"** one cleaver attack if it is grappling a creature. So it gets 3 attacks even if it's grappling?
