There’s a lot of activity in the Dungeons & Dragons universe these days. Not only are gamers waiting anxiously for the next installment inspired by D&D, Baldur’s Gate 3, but there’s also talk of a movie reboot coming up in the new few years. Whether it’s computers or movies that fans love, there’s a new adventure on the horizon.

The characters that populate the D&D modules and stories are constant fodder for media of all kinds. There are the protagonists, which make up a number of different races and classes, but there is also a myriad of monsters and villains that make the universe interesting. Dungeon Masters often have whole volumes of guides and books dedicated solely to monsters. Which one would you be based on your Chinese zodiac sign?

12 Rat – Mimic

It’s a combination of creativity. intelligence, and greed that makes the Rat the perfect sign for the clever Mimic. This is one of the smartest monsters in the Dungeons & Dragons universe and can communicate and even negotiate with a curious adventurer. It can also be manipulative.

The reason the Rat is the first sign of the zodiac was that the little animal used his guile and trickery to reach the Jade Emporer’s palace before any of the others, a connection to the sneaky Mimic.

11 Ox – Gelatinous Cube

Slow, steady, inexorable, with an appetite to match, the Gelatinous Cube and the Ox have a lot in common. There’s also more to these seemingly basic monsters than meets the eye, if an unlucky adventurer sees them coming at all.

The Ox loves to surround themselves with lovely things, perhaps even items of luxury, and they can succumb to mindless greed, the perfect symbol for one of D&D’s most iconic monsters.

10 Tiger – Cloud Giant

The Tiger person surrounds themselves with adoring friends, beautiful clothing, and opulence in all things. The aloof and exquisite Cloud Giants of the D&D universe have similar traits and take them even further.

The hierarchy of Cloud Giant society is actually based on how much wealth a giant has and how much of it they can give away in the form of luxurious gifts. That doesn’t include other races though, as these giants are notorious for how isolated and aloof they are, another parallel with the Tiger.

9 Rabbit – Stone Giant

Those that are born under the sign of the Rabbit are clever and, for the most part, peaceful. However, they can be terrible when roused, although that doesn’t happen often.

Like the Rabbit person, a Stone Giant abhors violence and strives to maintain peace and balance with their neighbors. Despite the fact that they’re docile creatures, for the most part, they can be as clever as they are large, and adventurers avoid crossing them if they can.

8 Dragon – Githyanki

Well, they ride dragons, which is an obvious connection immediately, but there are several common traits shared by the Githyanki and Dragon people that have nothing to do with that.

The Githyanki are the masters of navigating the Astral Plane, which is no easy feat, an ability similar to the supernatural Dragon. The Githyanki are also known for their fearless fighting style, and the Dragon of the Chinese zodiac is a courageous fighter.

7 Snake – Mind Flayer

The mastermind of the D&D monster pantheon, Mind Flayers are meticulous planners just like those born under this sign. They have an unnerving talent for duplicity and prefer to conquer using covert means as opposed to force.

A Snake person would secretly admire the Mind Flayer’s ability to twist and manipulate whole races to their own nefarious ends. This monster would then take everything left behind in the carnage, and Snakes are all about wealth and its related trappings.

6 Horse – Dao Djinn

For the most part, these monsters tend to be benevolent, often the only type of genie that is more often a Good alignment as opposed to an Evil one. The Horse person is similar, and like the Dao Djinn, their good intentions are often overshadowed by their impulsive nature or wild impulses.

Despite their power and strength, they are easy to intimidate, which is why most adventurers survive these encounters.

5 Sheep – Yuan-ti

A creature that can’t count on strength to subdue their enemies will instead turn towards diplomacy or stealth to achieve their goals. That could be a description of the manipulative Yuan-ti or the emotionally-intelligent Sheep.

The powers of the Yuan-ti are limited to its psionic abilities, and their societies are strictly ordered according to family bloodlines, a traditional concept that a typical Sheep person would appreciate.

4 Monkey – Lich

The character for the number “9” in Chinese also means “everlasting.” The Monkey is the 9th animal in the Chinese zodiac, and a Lich is what happens when a powerful magic user attempts to cheat death. However, it’s not only their nature that connects these two.

The Monkey is the most curious and inventive sign of the Chinese zodiac, and it’s their unrelenting search for knowledge and power that puts them in the same fearsome place as a Lich. Although a Lich shuns the spotlight, both this monster and the Monkey enjoying showing off their power when the opportunity arises.

3 Rooster – Beholder

For those that know a Rooster person, referring to them as an “eye tyrant” would be an apt description. The Rooster is typically the one in charge and never misses a thing.

They’re often the most capable and the strongest, like the distrusting and authoritarian Beholders, and they have a fierce controlling side when threatened. They are both self-reliant, and that’s a good thing, since they are often too paranoid to work with others.

2 Dog – Kobold

The sign of the Dog is also known for its devotion, even to a bad master, but is also known for being friendly and clever. The Kobold race has a similar destiny. They are bound to serve a higher entity, often a dragon or demon to which they have pledged an eternity of subservience.

Fierce loyalty, even to the death, is what makes the Kobold unique among its fellow D&D monsters. A Kobold with nobody to worship is as sad as a stray dog, but it still has the brains and strength to survive.

1 Pig – Umber Hulk

The parallels with living in the dirt and eating everything in sight, even precious metals, are stereotypes associated with pigs in general, but there are some connections with the actual sign of the Chinese zodiac. Both tend to be hot-tempered, capable of planning but preferring to simply use their strength of character to plow their way through any obstacle.

Like the Umber Hulk, they are also often misjudged as being stupid or impulsive, but they often have a plan in mind and use their intuition as much as their strength.
