Wildspace
Wildspace is the empty space in crystal spheres between
celestial bodies like planets, moons, stars and asteroids. The
creatures that dwell here often spend their entire lives in the
airless void and they sometimes make contact with your
Spelljamming vessel. Here are a few examples of wildspace
monsters:
A pack of Bloodsacs descending upon the crew to drink
their blood.
A Stellar Dragon musing on philosophical subjects with
the Spelljamming vessel's captain.
A Dweomerborn seeking to consume the magical energies
of a Spelljammer.
Phlogiston
Also referred to as the Flow, it is the space between crystal
spheres that is filled with a rainbow-colored flammable liquid
of the same name. Bizarre creatures inhabit the Phlogiston
that often prey on Spelljammers traveling between spheres.
Examples of creatures that live here include:
The mysterious Pristatic.
Spacefaring undead creatures.
The massive memory consuming Lumineux.

 The aartuk are nomadic vegetables organized into small
tribes. One elder leads each tribe. Constantly seeking worthy
adversaries, they are religious fanatics that view war as the
ultimate form of art.
Masters of Natural DisguiseAartuk come in a variety of
strains. There are tribes of grey specimens that favor sandy
or very dusty environments. Some tribes look more like
rough stones, ranging from light brown to dark grey. Other
tribes let mosses, mushrooms, and other small plants grow
on their limbs; these types generally prefer to live in dense
foliage. In all cases, aartuk are capable of concealing
themselves in their natural environment.

The albari are a race of magical, bird-like creatures that are

Albari equally at home in wildspace or the phlogiston. They are
dedicated to the call of chaos and seem to exist for no other
reason but to throw other beings' lives into unrest.
Existing Solely to Annoy and Confuse Though albari
revel in chaos, there is often a method to their madness. An
albari will decide upon a specific course of action – say,
insuring that a ship gets hopelessly lost in the phlogiston –
and stick to it for a short period of time. On average, this
period is 1d6 days. At the end of that time, the creature might
then change its mind or decide to continue. Albari usually do
the former. They can be hard set upon ruining a ship one
moment, then try everything in their power to save it the next.
Because albari need air to breathe, they often tag along
inside a ship's air pocket in the phlogiston, remaining
invisible, but casting an occasional spell to keep things lively
aboard the vessel they’ve adopted. Albari frequently sneak
aboard ships, too. Then they are often magically disguised as
a halfling, rock hopper, or other small humanoid. Their meat
is foul tasting and their feathers are too oily for ornamental
use. Much of their time is spent causing as many
shenanigans as possible. They speak their own high pitched,
shrieking language, various trade dialects, and languages of
many space faring races.

take over key personnel with their spells.

 Aperusa
The Aperusa are a roguish, charismatic group of human
spacefarers with a love of fun and freedom, and a mysterious,
forgotten past. Most are natural merchants, bards, and spies
for vigilante organizations. In the Aperusa language, the word
"Aperusa" means "Free People." Some scholars guess that
they were Vistani that long ago escaped Barovia on a
spelljammer. Their true homeworld, if one exists at all, is not
known. All Aperusa are secretive about their people's origins,
never revealing their true homeworld. When asked about
their homeworld, a common Aperusan response is "What's a
homeworld?"
Wildspace Nomads: Aperusa have a natural wanderlust
for wildspace, taking joy in exploring the stars and collecting
trinkets and wares from their travels. These items usually
come from spelljammer wrecks that they salvage. They do
not desire wealth for the sake of wealth, and instead seek to
share their prosperity with others. They are notorious

 Argos
Argos are found in the same regions that beholders are
found. An argos resembles a giant amoeba. It has one large,
central eye with a tripartite pupil, and a hundred lashless,
inhuman eyes and many sharp-toothed mouths. An argos can
extrude several pseudopods, each tipped with a fanged maw
that functions as a hand to manipulate various tools.
Argos move by slithering; they can cling to walls and
ceilings. They can levitate and fly very slowly. Argos colors
tend toward shades of transparent blues and violets; they
smell like a bouquet of flowers. Though they exhibit signs of
being intelligent tool users, they do not wear clothes,
choosing rather to carry gear stored in temporary cavities
within their bodies. However, their digestive juices often ruin
devices within 1d2+1 weeks.
Elite Beholder Bodyguards Although argos are solitary
creatuers, it's not unusual to see them aboard a beholder's
eye tyrant ship. When not in the employ of a Beholder, they
may be found wandering astroid rings and dust clouds alone.

In their combat form, also called their monster form, they
are 9 to 11ft tall,and are muscular creatures with iridescent
exoskeletons. Hard clawlike blades protrude from both
forearms and the head. In addition to the standard pair of
compound eyes, they possess four secondary eyes that can
move independently like those of a chameleon. Pebbly,
metallic-looking muscle fibers are visible at the joints. A
single bionoid is a one-man army that is extremely skilled in
unarmed combat, as well as in the use of a specialized
halberd that only bionoids can use.
Shunned by Their Makers After the Wars, they were cast
out into the cosmos, to make their own way far from the sight
of the elves. Years of ostracism, of living apart from the rest of
elvish society like plague victims, has instilled in them a deep
distrust of all other elven races. Although these bionoids were
instilled with an instinctive urge for combat without quarter,
they are essentially good beings who constantly strive to
control the powers of their implanted nature.
Though they travel nearly everywhere in wildspace,
bionoids prefer to remain alone. Many work as crew
members on spelljamming ships across the flow, or they
reside in country manors or castles. Still others live as
hermits on lonely asteroids far from the normal spelljamming
trade routes. In some cases, elvish communities sympathetic
to the bionoids' situation have taken in individual bionoids.
Though rare, a bionoid family can comprise hundreds of
members, always led by the individual who started the unit,
either the original bionoid or its full-blooded descendants.
Bionoid symbionts are welcome to join the unit, but must vow
to avoid (and avoid infecting) residents of the outside world.
Though engineered for warfare, the family unit sustains itself
primarily through farming. They practice battle skills
primarily as a spiritual discipline. Most frontier cities and
spelljamming outposts welcome bionoid communities.
Bionoid Symbosis The eggs of mature bionoids are disc-
shaped with a single crystalline trigger in the center. This
crystal serves a multiple purpose: it is an attractant to
potential victims since it makes the egg look like a magical
item, and it is also the young bionoid's eye. When a potential

Blazozoid
Blazozoids are huge elementals that represent comets of
creamy white flame. Their spherical bodies consist entirely of
fiery plasma gas, though they often drag a tail of blue fire
behind them when traveling at spelljammer speeds.
Living Plasma Blazozoids are sentient balls of living
energy with the ability to communicate telepathically. They
are always encountered in wildspace, never on planets or in
the phlogiston. Blazozoids usually ignore passing
spelljammer ships unless bothered in some way. However,
blazozoids do approach ships when they want one of two
things: either a ride through the phlogiston or a meal. If the
crew refuses to give the blazozoid a ride, or if it is searching
for a meal, it attacks.

the second head forms, a pair of forelegs begins to grow out
from the body. Shortly thereafter, the burbur splits in half to
form two separate creatures. They are often solitary
creatures but can be found in small groups of up to four
individuals.
Killing It Has Consequences Killing a burbur is generally
a very bad idea. A burbur that has recently fed still has all
that corrosive stuff inside it! A recently fed burbur that ate a
grey ooze will ruin the sword that cut it. Most animals have
long ago learned that eating a burbur can be a painful and,
often, fatal mistake. If the burbur has recently fed, most
creatures that consume it are affected as if they had come
into contact with the creature the burbur recently fed upon.
Thus, those animals foolish or hungry enough to devour a
burbur have been weeded out by natural selection a long time
ago.
Valuable to Adventurers The burbur is much sought after
by adventurers who find the creatures a useful ally when they
do battle against slimes and similar horrors. As a rule,
burburs are extremely docile and do not attack their keepers
or stray unless they are underfed. In order to keep a burbur
content so that it does not seek to escape its owner, it must
be allowed to feed at least once per day. In the marketplace, a
captured burbur can be sold for as much as 1,000 gold
pieces.

 Chattur
Chattur are small mammals that exhibit traits of both
primates and rodents. They are slender and quick and have
very dexterous front paws that are equipped with claw-tipped
fingers and an opposable thumb. Their faces are wide and
their eyes seem even wider, with an innocent stare that many
humans find very appealing. A band of black fur surrounds
the eyes of these creatures, much like the "mask" of
raccoons. It is for this reason, and not for any inherent sense
of maliciousness, that chattur have been dubbed "Space
Bandits".
Benevolent Stowaways They can be found living on many
spacefaring vessels – often without the knowledge of the
crew. Usually their presence is tolerated when they are
discovered – at least, if the discovery is made by a neutral or
good-aligned crew. Superstitions about chattur abound. Their
presence on a vessel is supposed to bring good luck. Ill
treatment of a chattur will reportably rebound against the
abuser at some future time. Most significantly, if chattur are
seen to be leaving a vessel, that is considered a dire warning
about that vessel's immediate fate. They are specialists at
sneaking aboard ships and finding places to live where they
can remain undiscovered for weeks, months, or years. They
arrange very comfortable quarters, scavenging whatever

COLONIAL GRELL

Colossus
These massive dimwitted creatures are 60ft. tall and weigh
70 tons. Despite their massive size, they are not true giants.
They are basically humanoid. Their heads are too small and
their legs are too short. Their features tend to be thick and
bulbous. Their foreheads slope back sharply and their noses
are round blobs of flesh. Their teeth are rarely straight and
always have jagged edges. Their fingers are stubby and thick,
completely unsuited for delicate manipulations. A colossus
can have any color eyes and hair, but black is the most
common. Their voices are like rolling thunder,
understandable but slow and deep.
Colossi wear heavy, coarse clothes – usually a tunic,
breeches, and sandals. Crude though it is, the tailoring is
much too fine for any colossus to have stitched it. The clothes
can be almost any color, with no regard to fashion sense. It is
not uncommon to find large patches covering rips and tears.
Colossi never carry weapons or armor, though they could if
they wanted to.
Lost Wanderers In wildspace these simple creatures are
encountered singly. They are usually lost wanderers. They
talk about a home called Arhoad, assumed to be a planet.
This mythical place has never be found, and the colossi are
never able to describe how to find it or how they became lost.
It is one of the great mysteries of wildspace. Credit: Monstrous Compendium Spelljammer Appendix
They speak of close families on Arhoad, so it is assumed
that they have a clan society. Since they could not possibly
have made their own clothing, many scholars assume that
they are the worker or slave class of yet another race,
although there is no evidence to support this theory. The
reigar accept responsibility for the colossi's plight.
The good colossi are quite friendly and helpful to travelers.
The evil ones are marauders and killers, destroying property
for the sheer joy of it. Neither variety is considered to be very
smart. The only long-term goal they have is to find Arhoad.
However, they never seem to know how to go about doing it.
Spelljamming Colossus In wildspace, a colossus is big
enough to be its own ship. Indeed, it has the same air volume
as a 15-ton ship. It consumes as much air as a full crew of 10.
The colossus can coast through space for months without
running out of air.
Food and water can be a problem, though. A colossus
cannot propel itself through wildspace except by making a
leap from a solid surface, which means it is very slow moving
under its own power. It would be possible to fix a
spelljamming helm to it and make it into a spelljamming
speed "ship" of the lowest possible maneuverability class. Its
plane of gravity makes its back or stomach the walking
surface. This is obviously not an ideal spelljamming vessel,
but it is hope for a stranded crew.

Contemplator
Contemplators live on barren asteroids, pondering the
questions of the universe. Some say that when one discovers
all the answers to all the questions, the universe will end.
A contemplator is found most often seated in the classical
thinker pose on a large stone outcropping. A gray humanoid,
12' tall, they often wear a gray toga. Consequently, unwary
adventurers may easily mistake them for a statue.
Seekers of Knowledge A contemplator yearns for all
knowledge and has deduced that the best way to gather it is
directly from the minds of other beings. To gather
information, they capture any intelligent being who lands on
or comes near their asteroid. It can create three gargantuan
50' long arms out of the surface of their asteroid in order to
complete this task. They then encase it in a stone prison and
slowly drain it's intelligence by 1 point a day. This process
requires the contemplator's undivided attention and if they at
any point becomes distracted,the contemplator does not gain
that intelligence point. If a wish, greater restoration or similar
magic restores a character's Intelligence, the knowledge
restored vanishes from the contemplator who stole it. If this
restored character ever comes within 50 miles of the
contemplator who lost the knowledge, the contemplator
immediately detects, intercepts, and attacks the character. A Credit: Monstrous Compendium Spelljammer Appendix II

Though they love money, the dohwar are generous with

They even call bonding with a mate a "Merger" and their eggs

 Dracon
A dracon is centaurlike in appearance, with the body of a
brontosaur, the torso and arms of a human, and the head of a
dragon. Its feet are flat, like those of an elephant, and it has a
long, snakelike tail. Its hands have six digits (five fingers and a
thumb) and end in claws. They speak draconic as well as
common haltingly and with a thick accent. Their speech is
often formal and ornately ceremonial.
Elegant Duelists The dracons consider themselves
civilized, and have among themselves a stylized dueling code.
Under this code, one challenges another, the challenged
getting choice of weapons (swords, bare hands, etc.). The
challenger then names the terms of the battle (to the death, to
first blood, to half hit points, or to three falls, for example).
Finally, the challenged names the place and time (within
reason, though a dracon rhyme speaks of the Battle Eternal,
in which heroes return each year to fight a single round of
combat). The dracons use these codes among themselves, but
do not offer them to non-dracons. Should an individual

Dragons (In Wildspace!)
For more information on dragons in general, check the
Monster Manual (pg. 86) This section details three additional
dragons found within wildspace habitats. Moon dragons, sun
dragons, and stellar dragons. These dragons are far more
powerful than the usual groundling fare. Beware, traveller!
Here be space dragons!

Moon Dragon
Moon dragons have a strong feeling of superiority. Arrogant
and elitist, moon dragons are obsessed with the moon motif
and the dichotomy of light and darkness.
Moon bases Moon Dragons live in the caves of moons.
Moon dragons eat almost anything, and they keep a well-
stocked larder of frozen victims. Only rarely do they range
about their moon for food. Moon dragons are the mortal
enemies of sun dragons and attack them on sight. Like most
dragons, they prize wealth and power. Their treasure consists
mainly of white or black pearls and diamonds, moonstones,
and any coin called a "moon" by its society.

 Sun Dragon
The benevolent sun dragons live and cavort on the surface of
suns. Though majestic and intelligent, they love life and
freedom, showing this love in a playful attitude. The sun
dragon's coloration changes as it ages, matching stellar
evolution. At hatching, they are fiery red; as juveniles, burnt
orange; as mature adults, brilliant yellow; when venerable,
bluish white. Finally, when a sun dragon becomes a Great
Wyrm, it shrinks back to almost hatchling size and turns a
flat white color. They hate the moon dragons.
Sun Lairs Because sun dragons live on suns, very few
things are going to bother a sun dragon in it's extremely hot
home. They have very little interest in combat. Sun dragons
scoop out the fiery matter on a sun's surface and hollow out
good-sized caverns for their needs. When a sun dragon lays
its clutch of 1d4+1 fire-resistant eggs, it causes a solar flare
to erupt on the sun's surface. Sun dragon treasure is coated
with the beast's saliva to keep it from melting into
nothingness. When the items are removed from the heat of
the sun, the saliva freezes into a kind of sleet that can be
easily removed.
Death of a Sun Dragon When a sun dragon dies of old
age, the body collapses in on itself, creating a sphere of
annihilation (95% probability) or a well of many worlds (5%).
These creations are unstable, with a 1% per day chance to
dissipate.

Stellar Dragon
Big, peaceful, and highly intelligent, these enormous
philosophers of the phlogiston wander the flow seeking
discourse with the keepers of the crystal spheres.
Drinkers of KnowledgeThey consider stooping to meddle
in the affairs of smaller beings to be loutish and in bad taste.
When they encounter humanoids, stellar dragons prefer to
watch rather than involve themselves. Only rarely do they
speak with lesser beings.
However, if one has information previously unknown to the
dragon, this may gain its interest and even useful knowledge
in trade. Information is the stellar dragon's food and drink, if
anything is, and it is willing to trade in kind. (One rumor has
it that the Greyhawk wizard Bigby learned his interposing
hand and grasping hand spells from a stellar dragon in
exchange for a juicy tidbit of information.)
Stellar dragons literally consume their knowledge,
transforming it into clear or milky gems of varying size.
These gems of wisdom and pearls of knowledge push their
way outward to rest embedded in the dragon's scales. The
number of gems and pearls studding its scales mark its
status among other dragons. The encrustation also roughly Credit: Monstrous Compendium Spelljammer Appendix II

entire cosmos, so their exact numbers are unknown; parties
encounter them only rarely. However, once every 500 years,
the stellar dragons convene for their mating ceremony. In this
ceremony, the most worthy stellar dragons are selected by
their tribal head, called the mikado. There is only one mikado
at any time. The mikado is distinguished by the single crystal
horn on his forehead. Stellar dragon territories are vast,
extending into other planes and dimensions. Individuals
negotiate boundaries to prevent intrusion on each other's
space. However, they haggle endlessly to obtain dynamic
civilizations to monitor.
Priceless Knowledge The stellar dragon understands the
underpinnings of the multiverse. These primeval watchers
have seen the rise and fall of many civilizations. Such is the
power of this knowledge that according to some texts, the
power of artifacts and relics comes from the gems that
encrust them. The crystallized everlasting knowledge of
thousands of beings, say these legends, provides the power
that runs these wonderful objects. How these gems were
wrested from the stellar dragons remains unsaid.
Gems of wisdom and pearls of knowledge are valuable
almost beyond calculation. The information they contain can
be liberated and used to gain enormous profit. Sages and
wizards do nearly anything to gain one.

 Dreamslayer
The realm of dreams is a dark, mysterious place in the mind
of every dreamer. Something in the nature of wildspace lets
certain beings use dreams as a portal, allowing them the
chance to depart the immaterial world and walk in the real
world. The dreamslayer looks for sleeping spelljammers and
attacks them through their dreams.
Spooky FormsWhen seen in a dream, the dreamslayer's
most common form is a black-shrouded humanoid figure. Its
covered face is the face of the dreamer, though its eyes are
glowing white sockets, and the facial features are twisted into
a look of pure evil.
A dreamslayer can also appear as the living thing the
dreamer fears most, or in its true form: a 7'-tall bipedal lizard
torso, glistening black, with a 3'-long tail, talons, and a pair of
draconian wings. The face is a glowing, featureless white
oval.
Corrupter of Dreams When the dreamslayer encounters a
sleeping victim in wildspace, the beast attempts to enter the
victim's dreams. The circumstances of a character's dreams
are up to the DM. The dreamslayer always seeks a dream
featuring other people, such as family or friends that the
dreamer misses. The dreamer sees the dreamslayer enter the
dream. To weaken the dreamer's will, the dreamslayer takes
control of the dream and "slays" the dreamfolk in gruesome
ways. It then engages with a mental battle with the dreamer.
Posssession If a dreamslayer reduces its victim to zero Credit: Monstrous Compendium Spelljammer Appendix II
Intelligence, it takes over the body for one day per point of the
victim's original Intelligence. During this time, the
dreamslayer does everything denied to insubstantial forms. It
eats and drinks to excess and tries to experience anger, love,
thrills, fear, and joy. Detect Evil cast on the host shows strong
evil. Detect Thoughts reveals an alien mind. When its time is
up, the dreamslayer is hurled back to the Astral Plane, and
the body collapses, dead. But if Dispel evil is cast on the
victim before that time, the dreamslayer leaves the body,
screaming. The victim falls into a deep sleep lasting 1d6
hours and awakens with no memory of the ordeal.
Dreamslayers only see sleeping beings; waking life is
invisible to them.

 Dweomerborn
Matter and energy are seldom annihilated. The magical
energy used to propel spelljamming ships produces its own
"exhaust" trail, invisible to the eye but detectable by detect
magic. This energy sometimes forms into a sentient monster
called a dweomerborn. These bizarre creatures wander the
spacelanes of wildspace feeding on magical energy. They
look especially for spelljamming ships.
Consumers of MagicThe dweomerborn drains
spellcasters, magical items, and other sources of magic
(except artifacts, relics, and helms). They can cause magical
items to lose their magic permanently and can cause
spellcasters to lose the spells they have prepared. Contact
with an anti-magic field will destroy the dweomerborn
instantly. Once the dweomerborn has consumed 15 spell
levels (for magic items, slots are calculated as Common=1,
Uncommon=3, Rare=5, Very Rare=7, Legendary=9), it jumps
off the ship, having been sated by the ship's magical items
and spellcasters.
