D&D is the ever-delightful tabletop role playing game Dungeons & Dragons, now in its 5th edition. I’ve been playing since 1st edition, and have ALL the Monster Manuals.

D&D Monsters/creatures

Abominable Yeti  
Beholder

Bigfoot is not a D&D monster. I checked. Abominable Yeti IS a 5th Edition monster.
