I was thinking recently that intellect devours, are a pretty easy for if you have good intelligence. On the other hand they are absolutely deadly if you have a bad intelligence score. It got me thinking, as an exercise, what other monsters are like that for the other stats?

Probably something like kobolds for dex, due to their heavy use of traps. Strength could be something doing a lot of potentially breakable grapple checks. Con could be a lot of things, probably something poisonous. Wis could be a lot of things too, but for fun let's say something that can kill you quickly if you fail to notice it in time, like rot grubs or green slime. Cha could be a court magistrate who wants you executed unless you can talk your way out of it. lol

Mostly basing these off the 3.5 ruleset incidentally. Older editions used to be a lot more deadly, overall.

I like kobolds for dex! The issue with grapplers is they can be contested by strength or dex. I couldn’t really think really think of anything where if you fails strength check; you are in a really really bad place
