Start Broad, Then Refine
Begin with a wider CR range and fewer filters, then add more specific criteria if the initial results aren't quite what you're looking for.
Experiment with Keywords
Use descriptive keywords like 'stealthy', 'elemental', 'pack tactics', or 'undead lord' to find creatures with specific abilities or roles.
Consider Boss Encounters
Toggle 'Include Legendary Actions/Resistances' and select a higher CR to quickly find suitable foes for climactic boss battles.
