A bestiary of wondrous friends and foes for the world’s greatest roleplaying game
Sparkling with the musings of the wizard Mordenkainen; this tome features a host of creatures for use in the Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game. Compiling and updating monsters that originally appeared in previous D&D fifth edition releases; these creatures represent some of the most benevolent and malevolent forces that D&D heroes might face.
The book also gathers together fantastical peoples from many different worlds. Each of these peoples represents a race option when you create your D&D character; expanding on the choices in the Player’s Handbook.
Includes more than 250 monsters—updates to the monsters include making spellcasters easier for Dungeon Masters to run; giving many monsters more damage and resilience; and improving the organization of the stat blocks themselves
Includes more than 30 playable races—brings the game’s setting-agnostic races into one book; complementing the races in the Player’s Handbook
A multiverse of lore—includes updates to monster lore that refocuses their stories on the D&D multiverse; rather than on any particular world
