What Aberration monsters have in common
Creature types have no rules of their own in the SRD, but some rules treat certain types differently.
- Protection from Evil and Good works against Aberrations: they have Disadvantage on attack rolls against the warded creature and can't Charm, Frighten, or possess it.
- Banishment lasting the full minute sends an Aberration to a plane associated with its type instead of letting it return.
- Hallow can bar Aberrations from willingly entering the warded area.
Across the 9 aberration stat blocks here, 7 of 9 have Darkvision, 2 of 9 can fly, and 4 of 9 speak or understand at least one language. 1 of 9 has Legendary Actions.
