SIMIC CREATURES

Simic scientists a re inte rested in the ways that all life

forms adapt to their changing environme nts, but they

have a particular fascination with the la rgest c reatures.

In a world covered with urban construction, most of

these creatures soar above t he city or glide dee p below

it in subterranean oceans accessible only through the

S imic zonots.

BENTHIDS

Simic scientists use the term "benthid" to refer to the

leviathans of the deep. These creatures vary greatly in

size and morphology, so they might be represented by

the statistics for a giant octopus, plesiosaurus, kille r

whale, giant shark, dragon turtle, or krakeo.

MERFO L K

Ravnica's merfolk are unique to the Simic. They

emerged from the depths of the plane's long-buried

oceans less than a century ago and immediately took on

leadership positions in the guild. They claim a deep con-

nection to Ravnica's primal oceans, which are almost

untouched by civilization. They have the statistics of the

merfolk in the Monster Manual, except that t hey speak

Common and Merfolk, and their legs give them a walk-

ing speed of 30 feet.

A monster that doesn't appear on the tables in this sec-

tion can show up in Ravnica. Other categories of crea-

tures that exist in the world include the following:

Undercity Denizens. Creatures that don't have clear

guild connections, such as carrion crawlers and

otyughs, c reep and s link through the undercity.

Undead. Orzhov spirits and Golgari zombies are not

the extent of undead in Ravnica. Wherever people

die, there's a chance of them returning as revenants,

ghosts. or other forms of undead.

The Guildless. The nonplayer characters presented in

the Monster Manual and other sources can represe nt

aoy of the ordinary citizens of Ravnica, whether they

are connected to guilds or not. Commoners go about

their daily business, bandits prey on the weak, and

cultists lurk in shadowed shrines. either hidde n from

the guilds or beneath their notice.

Ordinary Animals. Virtually any of the creatures that

appear in appendix A of the Monster Manual could

show up in Ravnica. Many s uc h creatures are con-

fined to small greenbelts or the ruined rubble belts,

but others thrive in the urban e nvironment, including

birds. scavengers. and sewer dwelle rs.
