New 5e Ravenloft creature

Like a lot of gamers I was excited for the release of 5th edition Dungeons & Dragons last year. The reviews have been fantastic. I've always been a fan of the numerous settings of 2nd edition Dungeons & Dragons too. I find older editions are easily convertible to 5th edition. There weren't a lot of Ravenloft creatures in the Monster Manual. So here's a creature from the Ravenloft Monstrous Compendium Appendix III.

These small jungle creatures look like albino goblins and lurk in jungles. They are known for magic abilities and poisoned weapons.



I hope to add more 5e conversions from 2e in the coming weeks. Let me know what you think! I'm qstor2 on Twitter btw.
