A few famousD&Dmonsters , like displacer wolf , mimic , and jellylike cubes , get moments in the spotlight , while others , like rust fungus monsters , seem in screen background cameos . However , some of the game ’s most infamous creature never seem . Here are the ten most notableD&Dmonsters that could have fit into the movie but were take out .
10Orcs
First premise into fantasy by J.R.R. Tolkien , orcs are often among the first enemiesD&Dcharacters encounter . They have few special powers except for the ability to see in the dark but are strong and able in combat . Seldom known for great intelligence , orcs are often the hired muscle for evil masterminds and ofttimes harp underground . InHonor Among Thieves , Forge could have take a band of orcs to pursue and harry the hero or orcish sinew to guard the bowl for the High Sun Games . Alternatively , the company could have encountered orcs in their raw home ground as they ventured into the Underdark .
9Zombies
The walking dead are familiar , andD&Dplayers are probable to confront zombies at some point in their adventuring life history . Honor Among Thievesoffers several chance where these weak but omnipresent monsters could have appear . Some of the deadened in Evermoors Cemetery could have been unquiet in their graves and attack the Hero when dig up . Also , Sofina could have unleashed zombi on the heroes as blow troop in the final conflict . She successfully kill some of the nobles and merchants of Nervermoor with the Beckoning Death . It would have been fitting to straightaway use them as minion , just as the Red Wizards did when they took over Thay .
8Drow
Drow , the sinister cousins of airfoil - dwelling elves , are the quintessential denizens of the Underdark and predominate much of the underground realm with an iron fist . The drow worship the wanderer - goddess Lolth , so when a jumbo spider appear in the forest as theHonor Among Thievesheroes approach the Underdark , a drow confrontation shortly after would have made sense . Drow are first-class fighter , expert in poisons , have numerous wizardly superpower , and train giant spiders as minion . An Underdark struggle with the drow , gargantuan spiders , and driders would have been an exciting encounter on the path to recall the Helm of Disjunction .
7Elementals
Native to take turns dimensions bonk as the Elemental Planes , elementals are living avatar of the elements earth , air , flaming , and water supply . Each has great power befitting its component : Air elementals catch opponent in whirlwind , for instance , while fire elementals set them ablaze . Many spellcasters inD&Dcan summon elementals to serve them . InHonor Among Thieves , elementals could have been in the maze at the High Sun Games . Also , Sofina could have summoned an elemental rather of animating a flying dragon statue for the final battle . An interesting crook would have been for Doric to summon an elemental to aid her friend - in D&D , Druid can cast spells , include Conjure Elemental .
6Ogres
The devil is fulfil a standardised role inD&Dto orcs but notably tougher . Ogres are larger , stronger , tight , and substantially less intelligent than orcs . They tend to make for a brutally straight coming upon since they can rarely be reasoned with or grease one’s palms off and are physically very powerful . An ogre would have been an unsurprising add-on to the freak in the snarl in High Sun Games , a athirst and implacable demon boom its mode through everything in its course . Since they are elementary animal often come across early in an explorer ’s career , an fiend coming upon would also have suit in the flashback collage inHonor Among Thievesas Edgin related his backstory .
5Doppelgangers
One of the more cunning monsters inD&D , a doppelganger in its instinctive pattern , is a featureless Louis Harold Gray - skinned humanoid , but they have the power to assume anyone ’s form . Doppelgangers can read creative thinker and practice their business leader to slip their victim ’s identities . They are naturally urban monsters , well suited to underhanded adventurers in city involving spies and intrigue . InHonor Among Thieves , a doppelganger would have been a natural ally for Sofina and Forge . It is all too well-to-do to envision a cruel shot where the doppelganger disguises itself as Kira to tempt Edgin into a trap when he interrupt into Never Castle .
4Golems
A direct import from existent - humankind folklore , robot inD&Dare animated statues created by spellcasters as guardians for their strongholds or treasures . automaton are usually made of durable cloth such as clay , gem , or iron ( although the game also includes Frankenstein ’s monster - similar flesh golem ) . They are highly resistant to both physical price and magic , making them passing dangerous opposite . An obvious place to admit golems inHonor Among Thievesis when the heroes recovered the Helm of Disruption in the Underdark , as the television camera pan over numerous ominous statues . The audience is clearly mean to require them to rumble to life , a faux - out forego the actual Thayan trap .
3Beholders
One of the most iconic lusus naturae in all ofD&D , a beholder is a hideous aberration , a be adrift sphere of physique with a gawk rima oris , a huge central eye , and eight eyestalks with small center . The central eye plan an anti - witching field that scrub all spell and powers within its regard . Each small eye has its own powers , ramble from sopor rays to psychokinesis beam to a disintegration beam . Intelligent , self-important , and often insane , beholders are among the most feared monsters any venturer can encounter . They often dwell in the Underdark , and a percipient encounter inHonor Among Thievescould have readily replaced the run - in with the red dragon Themberchaud .
2Mind Flayers
The mind flayer is another Underdark dweller feared by well-nigh allD&Dplayers . A majestic - skinned humanoid with a squid - like head , mind flayers have a smorgasbord of psychic and telepathic powers . Their name comes from an onset in which they stun their dupe and then apply their facial tentacle to grab their head and devour their brain . Mind flayers often keep understanding devourer as minions , so many plot - savvy looker expect a mind flayer clash when the grinder encounter those creatures . tot a thinker flayer toHonor Among Thieveswould have been particularly fun in the current papa - polish zeitgeist to showStranger Thingsfans the original monster in action on the enceinte screen door .
1Demons/Devils
Satanic Panic hysterical neurosis aside , demons and devils have always been among the most challenging enemy faced by high-pitched - levelD&Dcharacters . Over the decades , dozens of demon and fiend have appeared in the game , from the infernal Balor based on Tolkien ’s Balrog to the two - headed Demogorgon whose name was espouse by the child ofStranger Things . Characters of the warlock character reference class can even make pacts with demons to gain spells and power . InD&D , evil spellcasters often hold fast ogre into their service . InHonor Among Thieves , Sofina could have summoned a devil instead of animating a tartar statue for a unfeignedly epic final showdown .
