Tier 1 Loot: The Books
The Borant Corporation has authorized the distribution of documentation regarding its flagship entertainment product. These documents were written by a human named Matt Dinniman, who the Corporation considers a minor security breach that has been reclassified as a marketing asset.
Book 1: Dungeon Crawler Carl
A man loses his planet, his clothes, and his dignity. He gains a talking cat, a velociraptor, and billions of alien viewers. The Borant Corporation considers this an origin story. Carl considers it the worst day of his life. Both are correct.
Full Series (Kindle)
All currently published books. Available on Kindle Unlimited, which the Borant Corporation views as a subscription model it should have invented. The Corporation has filed a patent claim. The claim was denied. The Corporation has filed 11 more.
Book 8: A Parade of Horribles
Floors 10-11. 704 pages. The Borant Corporation reminds you that every purchase is an act of faith in a corporation that dissolved your planet. The Corporation appreciates your loyalty. The Corporation does not understand your loyalty. The Corporation will exploit it regardless.
Books 1-5 in Hardcover
The first five Ace hardcovers, bought one at a time from Amazon. There is no publisher box set, and Amazon's five-book set from a third-party seller cost more than the five books separately when we compared them (see our books FAQ). The Borant Corporation endorses buying in bulk. The Borant Corporation endorses buying in any configuration, really, so long as buying occurs.
Book 1: Deluxe Edition
Cover art by Victo Ngai, an illustrated case with a solvable maze, stenciled edges, a ribbon marker, and a Dinniman Q&A. It comes out November 17, 2026; until then it is a preorder. The Borant Corporation covets shiny objects. The Borant Corporation is, at its core, a magpie with a legal department.
Tier 2 Loot: Audio Experience
New to Audible?
Our pick for most new readers is the audiobook. If you are new to Audible, start with Book 1 and let Jeff Hays do the rest. The Borant Corporation has not endorsed Audible. The Borant Corporation has, however, noted that Audible's subscription model is "impressively extractive." This is the highest compliment the Corporation gives.
Audible: Book 1
Jeff Hays. 13 hours and 31 minutes. The moment he does the System AI voice, you'll understand why we push the audio version first.
Audible: Book 6 (The Eye of the Bedlam Bride)
Patrick Warburton guest narrates. Yes, Kronk from Emperor's New Groove. The Borant Corporation does not know what an "Emperor's New Groove" is but has been told it involves a llama. The Corporation is interested in llamas. The Corporation is always interested in new species to put in the dungeon.
Audio Immersion Tunnel: Seasons 1-3
Full-cast production by Soundbooth Theater with original music and sound effects. A companion experience, not a replacement for the main Jeff Hays audiobooks. The Borant Corporation views this as "fan-generated content" and is currently attempting to claim 60% of the revenue. Soundbooth has retained legal counsel.
Tier 3 Loot: Hardcovers (Ace Books / Penguin)
Penguin Random House publishes the hardcover editions through its Ace imprint. They include bonus content from the in-universe novella "Backstage at the Pineapple Cabaret." The Borant Corporation views physical books as a quaint human practice, like breathing air or having feelings.
Tier 4 Loot: Webtoon and Graphic Novels
DCC Webtoon Print Collection Vol. 1
Episodes 1-13 in print. Released one week after Book 8. The Borant Corporation would like you to purchase both. The Borant Corporation would like you to purchase everything. The Borant Corporation's business model is "everything, always, from everyone."
DCC Webtoon (Digital)
275,000+ subscribers, 8M+ views. Read the illustrated adaptation free on Webtoons. The word "free" has caused the Borant Corporation physical discomfort. A committee has been formed to address this.

See the collectionDCC: Crocodile (Graphic Novel)
An original side story featuring Florin DuPont. Raised $2.6 million from 27,000 backers. The Borant Corporation is upset that it did not receive any of this money. A strongly worded letter has been sent to BackerKit. BackerKit has not responded. The Corporation respects this power move.

Dungeon Crawler Carl merch questions
What is the Borant Corporation?
In the Dungeon Crawler Carl books, the Borant Corporation is the alien company behind the dungeon and the galactic game show it is filmed for. In the real world, "Borant Corporation" is the brand name on the licensed collectibles, which Playmates Toys makes.
This page is an unofficial fan guide, not Borant.
Is there official Dungeon Crawler Carl merch, and where do I buy it?
Yes. Matt Dinniman's own site lists the official channels: the official store, which runs on Threadless and sells shirts, stickers, patches, mugs, bags and notebooks; Kingdom of Threads for stickers and stationery; Foam Brain for enamel pins; Maeve Chocolate; and Hot Topic.
The licensed figures, plush and loot boxes carry the Borant Corporation name and are sold through retailers. Links to every store are in Official DCC Merch above.
Who makes the Dungeon Crawler Carl action figures?
Playmates Toys makes them, under the Borant Corporation name. The first wave of 6-inch "Collectible Crawlers" is Carl with Princess Donut (sold together), Mordecai and Prepotente, according to Matt Dinniman's site in August 2026.
Is borantcorp.com the official Borant Corporation website?
Yes, borantcorp.com is the official site for the licensed Dungeon Crawler Carl collectibles. It does not sell anything itself: each product page links to the retailers that carry it, such as Hot Topic and Books-A-Million.
Where can I buy Dungeon Crawler Carl figures?
Matt Dinniman's site names Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million, Urban Outfitters, Hot Topic, BoxLunch and Five Below, and warns that stock arrives gradually, so a local store may not have them yet. GameStop also lists them. Check borantcorp.com for each figure's current retailers.
Are there Dungeon Crawler Carl loot boxes, plush or trading cards?
Loot boxes and plush, yes. The licensed line includes a Princess Donut loot box (a blind box, one of six to collect) and a set of Princess Posse plush, and Foam Brain sells a mystery pin loot box. The official store also sells embroidered patches.
We could not find official Dungeon Crawler Carl trading cards for sale as of October 2026. The official DCC playing cards from INK Games are a different product.
Does official Dungeon Crawler Carl merch ship outside the US?
Some of it does. Kingdom of Threads ships internationally, and its shipping policy allows 1 to 12 weeks. For the official store, check the country list at checkout; customs fees may apply. The licensed figures are sold through US retailers.
