I was thinking recently that intellect devours, are a pretty easy for if you have good intelligence. On the other hand they are absolutely deadly if you have a bad intelligence score. It got me thinking, as an exercise, what other monsters are like that for the other stats?

I was thinking of that one for strength; but I don’t know if they require strength saves. I couldn’t really think of else for strength though
