Hello Everyone!
This month’s winner is morudomunto from Monster Hunter Explorer! This CR 17 Mythic Elder Dragon has the body of gore and arkveld, and outside of the usual attacks it has its own unique gimmicks. Not only does it cause bleed with its claws, but it has the ability to stun a creature with its horns, and it can secrete a black ooze, which I am calling black blood in the stat block. This liquid can pool onto the ground before hardening and piercing creatures stuck in it. Its a creature with a large amount of offensive action denial if you don't come prepared, because you will be attempting to escape the hardened blood before it restrains you, tending to the bleeding wounds of your allies, or left in a daze while you are stunned for a turn.
In the .Zip attached, you will find a PDF for the morudomunto and a token used for online play. Within the PDF you will find its stat block and loot table that is usable with the rule set found within Amellwind's Guide to Monster Hunting located in the description of this Patreon page.

The manifestation URL for this months monster is also available in the Pinned Foundry post. I am considering doing Patreon messages with these URLs each month instead of doing it this way, but I want to poll the patreon on that before I do. Until then, I will continue to update that post each month with the new months monster manifestation URL, but it will only have the last two URLs available.
Two Page Monster Hunt: A Desert Gone Mad
The poll this month gave us the first high level 20+ hunt range in a very long time. These ones are always difficult to make because you all know that high level game play is hard to balance. I've also had a patron asking for people to vote on a 20+ range for the last couple months. Due to this finally winning, I let them choose which monster this hunt would be about. So on this hunt, your party is dealing with a tempered shagaru magala (a CR 30 mythic monster) that recently emerged in the dunes (because we need more dune hunts). The only way to handle a CR 30 monster is to send a party of level 20 hunters after it. The hunt contains some challenging but thematic minor challenges and others that hopefully will use up some of their resources before they get to fighting the magala.
This will be a challenging hunt and might require you to do some adjustments on the fly, but I 100% think its doable. If you are making characters for this hunt. I would give the PCs the choice of materials from CR 20 or below, up to materials from CR 21-23 (except the Ahtal-Ka's Talisman Boost armor effect, unless you want to give them an extreme power boost), and one material from CR 24-29. These are just my recommendations, they will most likely be optimal builds if done this way. You could also do the normal roll for materials if you wanted to as well.
In the .pdf attachment below, you will find the hunt with a link to the Dunes map. As always thank you for the support and I hope you enjoy playing in, or running this hunt; or using the newest monster added to the MHMM.
