Editing Star Spawn

{{dnd-stub}}

'''Starspawn''' refers to either of two groups of [[Monster]]s in [[Dungeons & Dragons]], although precisely which group depends on the edition.

In  [[Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition]], Starspawn is used as a new grouping for various [[Lovecraft]]ian monsters, mostly edition upgrades of the [[Foulspawn]] and a handful of new faces, such as the D&D [[Worm That Walks]].

The original Starspawn appeared in [[Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition]]. Here, they were intimately tied into one of the more Lovecraftian aspects of the [[World Axis]] cosmology; long story short, the World Axis is full of stars that are sapient creatures, strange cosmic [[aberration]]s who were mostly known for serving as patrons to [[Warlock]]s, with a list fleshed out heavily in the article "Wish Upon A Star" from [[Dragon Magazine]] #366, which also features the Student of Caiphon [[Paragon Path]] and the Radiant One [[Epic Destiny]], both tied to these dark stars. The Starspawn, as their name suggests, are cosmic aberrations born from these stars - although it can also be used to refer to the aberrant stars themselves, as Allabar, Opener of the Way, is considered a "Starspawn" in his own right. These Starspawn were detailed in the [[Monster Manual]] 2 and 3.
