Yes! You can create custom creatures with the "+ Add Creature" button (bottom right corner). All custom creatures are saved locally in your browser and marked with a purple "CUSTOM" badge to distinguish them from SRD creatures.

⚠️ Important: Always backup your custom creatures using the Import/Export feature (bottom right corner). If you clear your browser data or cache, you will lose all custom creatures permanently.

Battle Preparation Tabs allow you to track multiple creatures' hit points during combat. Open a creature card and click "Add To Battle Tab" to add it to your battle tracker. You can then apply damage, healing, and even track temporary HP. All tracked creatures persist until you manually remove them or clear all.

Use the filter buttons to narrow down creatures by:

• Challenge Rating (CR): Filter by difficulty level
• Type: Filter by creature type (beast, dragon, undead, etc.)
• Search: Search by name or description
• Custom toggle: Show only custom creatures or only SRD creatures

The mobile app works fully offline once loaded. The website requires an internet connection to load initially, but all creature data is loaded in your browser, so you can browse creatures without additional data usage after the initial page load.
