Monster Variants: 283 Pixel Monsters in Frost, Ember, Venom and Shadow

283 pixel-art monsters, each in up to four new colours: Frost, Ember, Venom and Shadow. 941 variants in all, 32 x 32 PNG, plus the 283 originals. Give your dungeon elite, elemental or corrupted versions of its enemies without drawing a pixel.

• Made to keep the art intact. Each variant moves the monster onto one colour while its outlines, shading and detail stay as drawn, so a frost troll still reads as the same troll.
• No filler. Where a variant would barely differ from its original (a red monster in Ember, a green one in Venom), it is left out: 191 of those, so every file is a real change. The preview shows which.
• Ready to use. Single PNGs, plus one atlas per colour and an index.json with every sprite's position, for any engine. Godot users can cut AtlasTextures straight from it.
