What monsters are you hoping are in Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes?

Ah, that would be issue 294. Upon inspection, it presented four Greyhawk gods (Ius, Pholtus, Rao, & Tharizdun) as a preview of/addition to the 3.0e Dieties & Demigods book. Thanks for the heads up.

No problem!

If you're still intewrested in more information on Tharizdun, there's an article in the Dragon Magazine Annual 5 (2000) titled Children of Tharizdun that has a handful of Tharizdun-related maonsters. There was also a "Random Encounters" article title the "The Cult of Tharizdon" on the old WotC site (cached version here) . And, as a cherry on to, there's 22 Questions on Tharizdun answered by Gary Gygax.

Thank you for the info. I think I have copies of the monsters form Children of Tharizdun, but I don't think I have seen the others.

Sometime before the book is released, I should re-post my "100 monsters I would like to see in a Monster Manual 2" list I created a few months before Volo's was announced, annotated for those creatures that were updated in Volo's and various APs since that time. And after it's released, we can see how close we are to getting them all updated for 5e...

Bring back the Devil Swine!

There are some real gems of monsters in the BECMI line. Many of which have inexplicably never gotten further traction.

Personally, I'm all for every creature from 1e & BXCMI getting the official 5e treatment (not that I'm against later edition additions, but they're a lower priority for me).

Extraplanar beasties would make my day. I’d love to see the Astral Dreadnought return.

Also, since Volo’s brought back some Fiend Folio monsters, it’d be cool to see some from the 1e MMII return.

The Astral Dreadnought is confirmed!

I'm starting to think that there will be no new Demon lords, only the ones re-printed from OOTA.

I'd like to read that list - where can I find it?

It's long buried and really difficult to find since searching for "100 monsters" brings up so many hits as to be effectively useless. I'll probably repost the list here in the not too distant future as I mentioned...

Pumpkins. Some can open their wide mouth and swallow you.
Some can spit tiny sharp pumpkin seeds at deadly velocity.
Some are so big that they simply smother you.
Some are so old and rotten that they leap on your head and drown you in gloop.

Huzzah!

The Astral Dreadnought is confirmed!

Perfect, Ive been spending far too much time stating up these and other beasties
