It’s wild how I saw the Helldivers bugs and me and all my D&D friends were like “damn that’s just Ankhegs”

[@cernunnos_lives]

And life comes full circle my fine D&D friends ...

[@DiMadHatter]

"I see you, humans" *gulp*

[@cdr1179]

Tarantula hawk is the wasp you were talking about.

[@tattedupgamer8519]

Tarantula hawk is what the wasp is called. And Mantid females will sometimes eat the male bodies but do not always kill the males after mating.

[@MasterTilt]

We need Illian and Beern merch.

[@ManOfSteel6153]

Aw hell yeah, another banger vid to listen to at work 😤 Shout-out to Demigorgon 🙌🏽

[@Paul_aka_Paul]

I'm pretty sure it's been said that they don't use their spray unless threatened because secretion means they have to empty their supply and thus won't be able to eat until it replenishes

[@mulgra]

Your content is always awesome to watch 🤟
Hope you cover Pathfinder soon, especially Fafnir and the linnorms

[@wesleybutcher3389]

One of my fav monsters! Thanks guys !

[@Mal-bp2sp]

I’ve never been so early to a video 😂 This is going to sound so dumb but I always binge Dungeoncast while I’m getting ready for work every morning. Best part of my day.

[@thewholesomecultist6702]

i thought this had something to do with hags and was so excited :'3 i cant wait to see some hag deep dives for specfic ones

[@NamelessKing1597]

Thanks for reading my comment (next episode: I also listen on Spotify) on the Olhydra episode, it was a reference to a sea shanty sung in the hanging scene in Pirates of the Carribean: At World's End.

[@Shakkarz]

Guys are talking about giant ants then you should see-- "them"!! it's a old black and white one of my favorites

[@jonathanhallberg3009]

Think you guys can make a video about the Kruthiks in the future?

[@heathstephens4068]

Glad to have another monster video! Thanks guys!

[@GhostlyGrimace]

I BEEN WAITING ON THIS ONE‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

[@ithinkillpass9056]

I would run this creature without having object permanence so if the players had behind a rock, it would forget they were there

[@shadomain7918]

the 1950s B+W ant movie is called "Them". Because... I guess that seemed cool back then?

[@moonringXD]

A excellent video as always gentlemen! Also what monsters do you have left to cover in the monster manual? Shout out to demogorgon and his ixitxachitls homie!

[@mosshivenetwork117]

Buggies!

[@darkness32185]

I’m a still going to be able to get a copy of star seekers guide to drakkenstar

[@mosshivenetwork117]

Can I pet one? How do I pet one without being killed?

[@blainechaney8617]

WE NEED THE DUNGEONCAST ORIGIN STORY VIDEO! 🤣

[@destonlee2838]

If memory serves ankhegs and bullette have ancient beef...

[@VicariousVorlon]

For the algorithm!

[@justinmichael9043]

Damsel was a terrible movie. The fight with the dragon was so dumb. My wife was watching the movie and I sat down for two minutes and figured out the entire plot and guessed how they were going to end the movie and I was totally right it was extremely predictable.

[@davidrobertson5996]

Great content, but the shittest English accent ever for height and weight conversions. Coming from a Scot, that's something! Keep up the great DnD lore though 🙂

[@Thedungeoncast]

Lol it's a transatlantic accent. Invented to sound vaguely british

[@davidrobertson5996]

@@Thedungeoncast fair play 🙂

[@surewhynot2156]

generic comment

[@BryantVonMiller]

Ankhegs from the first Baldur's Gate game, were such pains to combat.
But if you farmed them for awhile they can make such strong armour for most of the game.
As a kid not knowing what the heck dnd is and these things were, and all of 'em. Still makes my phobia of bugs wig out 😅
