    Great video. My arena has mock sea battles, monster/adventurer fights, and chariot racing. I find it's a very handy excuse to use creatures your party might not otherwise fight (my party is about to fight a bunch of swamp denizens despite being a desert campaign).

      Absolutely -- even weird planar stuff, crazy monsters, all kinds of kooky stuff, it all works!

    Having felt like I stumbled upon this, looking for arena ideas for my 5e homebrew/spelljammer campaign, I can say here we have some great ideas. Thanks for your time my friend.
    DM idea note: Scrying to spy on your players, use it so your enemies know your players strategy, arena's are in big cities *usually* so spying can be pretty easy

    Excellent video and ideas to spark some creativity! My friends and I are starting up a multiplanar coliseum campaign, “Portals and Pit Fighters.” It’s really an excuse to use a whole bunch of everyone’s minis that don’t share an ecology. A coliseum is perfect fodder for off the wall combat encounters

    Very helpful! I'm running an Arena battle in Hell for our Avernus campaign, def using the Naval Battle for it.

    Well manticores and chimeras are obvious picks for colosseum enemies, wyverns are another great pick

    My arena is an underground fighting pit, and it's champion is an extremely buff Aarakocra.
    (Yes, it's a Paper Mario reference...)
