Wild Predators for Fantasy Wild West 5E (2025)

In the wild and untamed frontier, danger lurks behind every rock, in every shadow, and across every barren stretch of desert. This is a land where survival is a constant struggle, and the creatures that roam the wilderness are as fierce and relentless as the land itself. From the stealthy Nightstalkers, whose star-speckled fur blends into the night sky, to the terrifying Riftclaws, whose magical venom can plunge their victims into hallucinations, these predators are not merely hunters—they are the true rulers of the wild. In this guide, we delve into the most formidable and deadly creatures that roam the frontier, each more dangerous than the last. These wild predators have evolved to thrive in harsh environments, using their strength, speed, and cunning to track and hunt their prey. Whether stalking through the night, lurking in the shifting sands, or waiting silently in the shadows, these creatures are a constant reminder that the frontier is not for the faint of heart. Within these pages, you’ll learn about the nature of these savage hunters, the challenges they present to any who dare cross their path, and the tricks and tools needed to face them. For those brave enough to venture into their territories, understanding these predators—and knowing how to survive their attacks—is vital. Whether you're a seasoned hunter or an adventurous settler, the creatures in this guide are as much a part of the Wild West as the rugged mountains and endless deserts. Stay sharp, stay vigilant, and remember: in this land, you’re never alone. This booklet is a selection of creatures for a fantasy version of the Wild West, for 5e.
