D&D 5e Bestiary — 684 Monsters with Stat Blocks

The SRD (Systems Reference Document) is the open version of the D&D 5e rules, released by Wizards of the Coast under the Creative Commons CC-BY-4.0 license. That means anyone can use, translate, and distribute the SRD monsters, spells, and rules — us included. It is why the monster compendium in Pocket DM is 100% free and lives online for good.

We bring together the creatures from the SRD 5.1 (2014) and the SRD 5.2 (2024) — many are the same creature revised between editions — plus the 357 from Monster-a-Day (a partnership with the r/monsteraday subreddit), also under CC. That's 684 distinct browseable stat blocks, each with a full description, attacks, legendary actions where applicable, and a clean layout. Product-identity monsters like the Beholder and Mind Flayer are not part of the SRD, so you will not find them here.

Pocket DM is built to remove the biggest friction in combat: rolling attacks and saves. When you drop a monster into the combat tracker, every action becomes a clickable button. One click equals an automatic roll with the right modifier. Damage, saves, criticals — all there.
