D&D 5E - Full List of Monsters in Mordenkainen Presents Monsters of the Multiverse

Mordenkainen Presents Monsters of the Multiverse contains revamped stat blocks for 260 monsters previously published in previous Dungeons & Dragons 5E books. The list was compiled by YouTuber Bob Worldbuilder based on some blurry screenshots originally shared by Nerd Immersion (see the video...

www.enworld.org

While reprinted, these races have all been updated to the current standard used by WotC for D&D races used in Tasha's Cauldron of Everything, including a free choice of ability score increases (increase one by 2 points and another by 1 point; or increase three by 1 point), and small races not suffering a movement speed penalty.

The video below from Nerd Immersion delves into the races in more detail.

Half-species in D&D can be explained entirely as a product human determination.

It doesn’t matter how many times you try to impregnate something that’s genetically incompatible with you.

Spoken like a man who hasn't suffered fourth degree burns making a fire genasi.

Except all the discount retailers and online shopping sites. You can find brand new copies of these for $20. Amazon alone will have the brand new $50 books selling for $35 before it’s even released.

The Amazon price for the Core gift set is $87.17 right now. The Rules Expansion gift set will probably be available for ~$90 for those who want it soon enough. Still a deal.

I'm 92.5% sure the statement was meant for humorous effect rather than a comment on genetic compatibility.

Give it time. The Gift set will probably be cheaper on Amazon in time...just like the Core Set is now.

I don't see new copies of the books being sold via Amazon at $20, maybe a third party seller or two, but those normally come in very limited quantities from third party. Amazon does some large mark downs (I see $27 or there abouts for some of the books, not all), so your benefits may not be as large at Amazon as at other book sellers, but the benefit of a lower cost for all three is still there at most places and retailers.

Nothing can go from Zero to Creepy faster than a D&D race discussion.

Quoting Nerd Immersion.

“Orcs got some big changes: Dash as a bonus action, prof bonus times per long rest. When you use it you get temp HP equal to proficiency bonus. Darkvision. Powerful build. Relentless Endurance.

This replaces everything they had previously.”

 

[Professor Murder]

Nothing can go from Zero to Creepy faster than a D&D race discussion.

It is libel to make people come out of their bag.

 

[Cadence]

So D&D races are the same family or genus. Or magic. Most of those listed in the wiki are such “startling” and “amazing” crossbreeding examples such as two kinds of rhino having a hybrid child or two kinds or horse. When a dog and a cat or a fish and a mammal produce a natural, fertile hybrid, then we’re talking.

Same family doesn't seem that close -- chimpanzees and humans are in the same "tribe" (the level between subfamily and genus). That's the same level as Bison and the Cow (although that is being reconsidered to genus). Bottlenose dolphin and false killer whale aren't even in the same subfamily and have fertile offspring.

 

[beancounter]

That some of them can breed with each other shows that’s not accurate.

That's not true. For example, humans and Neanderthal could breed, yet they are different species. Horses and donkeys can breed, but they too are different species.
