With Fizban's and now Bigby's, what other groups do you think we'll see with their own books?

[QUOTE="Demetrios1453, post: 8744225, member: 6801060"] With the announcement of [I]Bigby Presents: Glory of the Giants[/I] for 2023 after getting [I]Fizban's Treasury of Dragons[/I] last year, this seems to indicate that WotC is now taking a new approach to monster books. [I]Volo's Guide to Monsters [/I]and [I]Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes[/I] were relatively well received, but they were very scattershot and unfocused, and presented only relatively light overviews of the creatures they covered, simply because they were covering large and varied groups of creatures in each book. Now it seems that WotC is taking a more focused approach - taking a single, but large, group of creatures and covering them in detail (which, in my opinion, is probably the better route). So, assuming this format continues on, which groups do you think are likely to be featured in upcoming products? And which groups, whether you think WotC will do it or not, do you [I]want[/I] to see in upcoming products? And, as a bonus question, which D&D legacy characters will be the "authors" of the books? Obviously, undead would seem to be a reasonable guess for the next one. Would they re-use Van Richten as our guide, or maybe go the more villainous route and use Szass Tam or even Vecna? I'm hoping to see a full-fledged fiends/outer planar creature book after Planescape, and books on aberrations and fey (who are always criminally underused) would be nice to see as well. Do they open Pandora's Box and do a humanoid-focused book on orcs, goblinoids, and the like? Or even on the traditional player races? There was a lot of interesting info on those in [I]Volo's [/I]and [I]Mordenkainen's[/I] that could be revisited, but doing so could court controversy... [/QUOTE]
