I've not seen either of those but a quick search shows me that's 51 episodes of one series, 64 of another and a movie. That might be a little bit too much for the amount of prep time I have

 

I recently watched the Simpsons Treehouse of Horror episode in which they did a parody of "The Island of Dr Moreau" and thought a mad scientist trying to turn people into animals could make for a fun minor character in my campaign. My players are en route to a dungeon and should be there in a few sessions, I'm thinking of making the dungeon the lab of a mad scientist who has gotten locked out of the lower levels due to a containment breach.

The details I have so far is that he is a gnome, currently named Prof. Moreau, who has created mongrelfolk while trying to turn a human into an animal.

The mongrelfolk are safely contained in the lower levels and have started to create their own society, I think the boss of the dungeon should be a Gibbering Mouther called One, as in Attempt One.

I think the Mongrelfolk should worship one as their leader and hate Moreau for keeping them locked in the lab.

What I'm stuck on now is what life is like for the mongrelfolk, what they believe and how they have organised society.

They have their branding which will push people to use their platform. More people using their platform = more content coming from threads. Once they have enough posts from threads that people from other instances are used to seeing mostly threads content they'll defederate. People will miss the volume of posts and then move to threads.

I don't want to make a "lifetime commitment" to a game, I've already tried that with my ex-wife.

Didn't that come out years ago?

99% of the time, PCs abilities aren't your concern, all you need to worry about is knowing if it sounds like they something they might be able to do. Worst case scenario just ask them to read the ability description.

It has intelligence right there in the name, it has to be smart.

Spicy food makes you feel full so if you like heat you can add cayenne powder and hot sauce to make food go that little bit further.

The main 4 monster books from KP are published under an OGL and are available on open5e , you don't get any lore, art, or advice on how to run the monsters without paying for the books, but you can see the statblocks.

The kobold press website also has a tool that can show you the environments a monster can typically be found in.

I would still recommend getting the books, especially if you want to use any of the higher CR monsters as the lore makes it a lot easier to understand the mindset the creators had when designing them.
