	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]]. Statted Star Spawn in Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes consist of the '''Grue''' (a spindly, ghoulish humanoid, weakest of its ilk), the '''Hulk''' (a skinless, [[ogre]]-like brute), the '''Larva Mage''' (aka the Worm That Walks), the '''Mangler''' (a many-armed horror that slithers along the ground), and the '''Seer''' (a distorted humanoid form that acts like a parody of a cleric), the '''Emissary''' (an amalgam shapeshifting mastermind).

A few of the Starspawn from 4th edition have had cameo appearances in 5e, including some appearing as [[Vestige]]s in [[Curse of Strahd]]'s amber temple.

Further information on Star Spawn was presented in the second and third Monster Manuals, whilst Ulban was fleshed out in Dragon #381 as a potential patron for a Star Pact [[Warlock]]. An article called "Strange Constellations" in Dragon #403 furthered the Star Spawn by converting several of the monsters from the 3e splatbook [[Elder Evils]] into Star Spawn; [[Atropus]], [[Father Llymic]], [[Pandorym]], [[Ragnorra]] and [[Kyuss\|The Worm That Walks]]. It was functionally a repeat of "Wish Upon A Star", with brief adaptations of the Elder Evils into the Star Spawn of the Elder Constellation in terms of lore, plus a [[warlock]] spell or two tied to each one.

When Allabar is bloodied and senses that its enemies pose a true threat, it sprouts more tentacles and enters into a flurry of attacks.

			===The Elder Constellation===
			'''[[Atropus]]''', the World Born Dead, drifts through the gulfs of space, searching for worlds to consume. When it finds a world, it erases all life from it with a single gruesome touch. As the afterbirth of creation, this entity is committed to unmaking all things. Nothing, not even the gods, can halt the relentless progress of Atropus.

			A mote of alien thought given form and flesh, '''[[Father Llymic]]''' dwells in an icy prison, awaiting a time when the world will be right for his arrival. As his age of freezing darkness draws near, his brood begins to appear, stalking the wastes in preparation for his reign. If he is released from his prison, he will cover the entire world with a deadly glacier and remove the world from light and hope for all time.

			'''[[Pandorym]]''' personifies the emotionless void of utter annihilation. Though imprisoned millennia ago, a future era will see its release. The god-slaying weapon awaits the arrival of a being powerful enough to reunite its awesome mind with its potent body. Pandorym seeks freedom, and thereafter it intends to bring about the extinction of every god in the cosmos.

			'''[[Ragnorra]]''', Mother of Monsters, is a primeval source of corrupted life. Bloated, hideous, and filled with a terrible love for her children, this entity waits at the end of time to gather all her fell offspring back to her awful bosom.

			'''[[Kyuss\|The Worm That Walks]]''' is a sentient tear in reality through which one can see a swarming mass of maggots and worms that goes on forever. The light from this star is green, and it writhes eternally. Nihal is brother to the Worm, or rather, they are aspects of the same entity as seen from different ends of time.
