Monsters for a Level 18 Party

236 creatures in the CR 5 โ€“ 21 band — the sweet spot for a party of four to five level 18 adventurers. Every stat block is complete and ready for initiative.

A quick rule of thumb when picking from this list: a monster's challenge rating tells you what a fair one-on-four fight looks like. Send several weaker creatures for skirmishes, match CR to party level for a solid standard encounter, and reach a few CR above for a boss your players will remember.
