Delicious in Dungeon has been introduced to life in exquisitely delicious type by the acclaimed Studio Trigger, and its mission to deliver collectively traditional dungeon-crawling adventures and the fun of cooking essentially the most sudden dishes has captured audiences in every single place. Thanks to Senshi, a dwarf with a 3rd eye when it comes to creating meals out of essentially the most unlikely sources (even armor), Laios and his group have managed to survive and make it ever nearer to rescuing his sister, Fanlin.
Not solely that, the expertise has triggered (aha) our creativeness about what different legendary creatures might go right into a cooking pot, notably these from the anime’s essential inspiration – Dungeons and Dragons. Without additional ado, right here is our checklist of 10 DnD monsters we’d love to eat ‘Delicious in Dungeon’ type.
Gelatinous Cube
The first creature on our checklist is without doubt one of the most traditional and revered amongst DnD gamers, regardless of its unassuming look. The Gelatinous Cube is a slime-type monster that’s greatest identified for one explicit potential – absorbing something residing that crosses its path and utilizing its gelatinous type to digest it slowly. Afterward, all that’s left is no matter armor or inorganic trinkets the sufferer might have been sporting (as seen above).
What’s the Dish? – Your first thought with a creature like this may most likely be a crude, slimy chilly bowl of monster Jell-O, which is one thing I’d think about even Laios’ iron abdomen couldn’t deal with. However, as Senshi would probably do, a Gelatinous Cube could be significantly better off boiled down right into a simmering soup of types. With the very best spices and the suitable ‘ingredients’ having already been absorbed into its gelatinous type and never but totally digested, you’d have your self the heartiest bowl of stew with relative ease.
Behir
The Behir is one other traditional and odd-looking beast, serpentine in type with a number of units of legs like an insect, and wingless regardless of in any other case resembling a dragon. Coming face-to-face with one in every of these will not be one thing we’d want on anybody, given their large measurement, dragon scale-like armor, their potential to both slither like a snake or scale partitions with their quite a few clawed ft and their electrical breath assaults that may be particularly deadly in the unsuitable setting. Chances are a Behir will spot you properly earlier than you do, as one may very well be lurking in the darkest shadows of a dungeon, ready to ambush you from overhead.
What’s the Dish? – Given its immense measurement and weight, the Behir is a creature that we’d foresee having the ability to make a really hearty meal or 4 out of, with the suitable culinary instinct. After slaying it, we’d think about that Senshi might retrieve loads of meat from a Behir, in addition to greater than sufficient intestines to make one thing fairly particular. Simply by grinding up the meat and mixing in the suitable spices and herbs, the intestines can then be used to make casings for it. Then ‘lo and behold, you’ll have your self a heaping load of Behir sausages, which can be utilized for all method of platters and dishes themselves.
Owlbear
Owlbears are a big and curious-looking monster that many gamers truly discover to be cute, having the four-legged physique of an enormous, furry bear and the alluring face of an owl. However, these distinctive options give method to a carnivorous creature that’s as fearsome as some other monster in the dungeon. They depend on melee assaults with sharp claws and carry eager senses of sight and odor, which make them as ferocious of a foe as they are often an ally.
What’s the Dish? – A giant and burly monster just like the Owlbear is thought for having a virtually insatiable urge for food and thus is one we’d undoubtedly think about to have loads of flavorful meat to go round. Given Senshi’s penchant for bread and frying the suitable forms of meats, we’d eagerly think about a vibrant platter of breaded and seasoned Owlbear cutlets would do the trick for any epic adventurer. Would they style extra like poultry although, or do you assume it’s a particular sort of pink meat? Perhaps it’s a mixture of each, and Senshi would certainly love to flex his culinary expertise with that.
Hellsboar
Hellsboars are one other ferocious addition from the paranormal world of Baldur’s Gate 3, and so they’re actually a hellish tackle the traditional creature, native to the Nine Hells and usually discovered in both the sport’s Grymforge space or the House of Hope. They’re a beastly fiend that provides no quarter in battle, brandishing their horns, scaly armor stuffed with obsidian spikes, and a large maw stuffed with enamel and hellfire.
What’s the Dish? – When it comes to cooking up a hog, particularly an otherworldly one, some adventurers might desire one thing easy like a spicy pork sandwich, and we’d actually discover Senshi baking up some recent bread to put it in. However, since dungeons can yield all types of unexpectedly delicious elements, we selected to assume a bit extra outdoors the field and consider that Senshi would go for one thing akin to hog maw sausages. A mystical soul meals that brings collectively numerous elements of the creature and usually blended with potatoes, greens, and herbs.
Ankheg
The Ankheg is one other traditional monster from the depths of DnD lore that’s not precisely straightforward on the eyes, being an unsettling combine between an antlion and an particularly rabid praying mantis. This menacing bug is discovered not simply in our nightmares, however in forests and grasslands, and when it’s not burrowing underground to ambush its prey, it lunges with large mandibles and grappling claws whereas spraying streams of acid.
What’s the Dish? – Despite their stigma, bugs have steadily turn into a welcomed supply of protein in sure elements of the world, and whenever you’re a dungeon crawler who wants to keep topped off on sustenance, typically it’s the creepy crawlers who can prevent in a pinch. Senshi would certainly haven’t any difficulty with roasting the protected, non-acidic elements over an open hearth with the suitable spices. Like different bugs chosen for cookery, they’d most likely go properly on a skewer and loved in that vogue. Just ignore the truth that it got here from an enormous, carnivorous bug and hopefully it tastes considerably like hen.
Cockatrice
Speaking of hen, our subsequent entry goes to a mystical creature that’s turn into fairly notorious in the world of RPG, and even options in the Delicious in Dungeon sequence itself. The Cockatrice, a descendant of the Pyrolisk, is a menacing hybrid between a chook and lizard, together with the wings of a bat. While not notably large in stature, it makes up for that with its penchant for petrifying its enemies. So if you end up surrounded by a number of of those creatures, you higher hope you’ll be able to dodge or slay them earlier than you meet your finish as a chilly statue.
What’s the Dish? – Despite its identify, we’d assume the Cockatrice is sure to be one thing with a peculiar style, given its numerous anatomy. For these accustomed to the manga, Senshi decides to grind up the meat from a Cockatrice and use it to make a stone-baked dish for the group. While that sounds a lot scrumptious (aha), we wished to work out one thing a bit extra distinctive and seemed to its fantastically clawed ft.
In the identical vogue as a hen, the ft may very well be became a hearty and delicious snack with easy elements, although we’d advocate pickling them moderately than straight-up steaming them. That means boiling them in scorching water, sticking them in an ice-cold tub afterward to tighten them up, after which utilizing vinegar, sugar, and different elements like inexperienced onion and a spicy sauce to give them taste. When completed, you may have a simple dungeon snack to both sit and revel in or whereas on the go from one ground to the subsequent.
The Beholder
Next comes maybe one of the vital well-known monsters in all of DnD – the Beholder. Omnipresent in numerous iterations of the sport and historically residing in the Underdark, for what these monsters clearly lack in nightmare-inducing seems to be they make up for with not solely loads of eyeballs however unbelievable intelligence. They depend on their exceptionally robust perceptive and magical talents moderately than bodily prowess, and their fearsome repute made them one of the vital feared monsters in the Forgotten Realms.
What’s the Dish? – Viewing this creature as something remotely appetizing would definitely be subsequent to inconceivable for many of us. However, must you occur to have that culinary third eye like Senshi or (let’s face it) Laios, there are literally a variety of methods you would rework this monster right into a dish to…properly, behold. Our creativeness led to the concept of taking a Beholder’s tongue, which is a lot sufficiently big for a meal and slicing it into filets.
From there, you craft some makeshift puff pastry from numerous different elements similar to Bluecap Mushrooms, additionally generally discovered in the Underdark. Wrap it round your filets and presto! You have your self some Beholder Tongue Wellingtons! Don’t fear, you don’t want to use these eyeballs for something.
Slaad
Slaadi (plural type) are large, bipedal frog-like creatures residing in the chaotic world of Limbo that, regardless of being sentient, are infamously short-tempered and usually inconceivable to purpose with or perceive when contemplating just about any subject. They come in a number of completely different variants, relying on their colour, and whereas they’ll use magic, they’re greatest identified for imbuing their exceptional bodily energy with it. Oh, and there’s the poison beneath their pores and skin as properly. Facing a number of of those in battle is actually not one you’d need to take evenly.
What’s the Dish? – When it comes to cooking something frog-related, our first thought is often, in fact, frog legs. In the case of getting ready a slain Slaad monster, there would definitely be greater than loads of frog leg meat to go round on your total get together. Going off Senshi’s culinary knowledge, the meat of the Slaad may very well be breaded and both broiled or fried, and served as you’d hen legs or some other poultry. The solely query remaining that Senshi would probably ask is whether or not every variant of the Slaad tastes any completely different.
Grick
Should you end up wandering by caverns of the Underdark, a Grick is one thing you’d actually not need to encounter when you will help it. However, they do like to lurk inside the partitions of such caverns, camouflage themselves, and await any unsuspecting prey that they’ll snatch up with their barbed tentacles. This worm-meets-octopus monstrosity is the stuff of nightmares, and outsmarting its penchant for ambushing is the important thing to not getting chomped by that monstrous beak of a mouth.
What’s the Dish? – In the case of a Grick, we might see Senshi wanting to make full use of the meat, and the tentacles as properly. After all, anybody who’s partaken is aware of what squid and octopus are identified for making – crispy calamari. Plenty of that may very well be made with the Grick’s menacing tentacles and served with some particularly savory dipping sauce.
Bulette
The closing entry on our checklist goes to the Bulette, which is an interesting monster simply in its anatomy. They’ve been escribed by some as ‘land dragons’ or ‘land sharks’, whereas they’ve additionally been famous for his or her snapping turtle-like traits. They hunt their prey very like the latter, burrowing beneath the bottom and detecting vibrations from motion earlier than rising with their monumental maw huge open. Covered in armor from head to toe, few handle to escape their brutal assaults earlier than it’s too late.
What’s the Dish? – In the case of a Bulette, the sheer accomplishment of slaying one in every of these can solely be topped by making an extremely particular, savory dish. Initially, we figured that Senshi would most likely like to make one thing akin to Bulette boudin balls, in which the creature’s meat could be floor up with rice and diced greens, after which breaded and fried to make scorching and crispy snacks. He’d even form them like turtles to boot, which we might completely get behind.
However, to commemorate our closing entry, we additionally imagined utilizing the meat of a Bulette in a one-of-a-kind soup, akin to that of conventional turtle soups. Toss it into a large pot with loads of different elements similar to butter, onion, peppers, hardboiled eggs, one thing comparable to a dry Sherry and Worcestershire, and a wide range of spices. As resourceful as Senshi is, we’d have each ounce of religion that he’d pull off his personal rendition of this dish and have Laios, Chilchuk, and even Marcille begging for seconds.
That concludes our checklist of 10 DnD monsters we’d love to eat Dungeon Meshi type. We hope you loved this, and tell us if there’s a legendary creature we haven’t talked about that you simply assume would make a surprisingly scrumptious dish, if cooked by Senshi.
