Mostly on topic, but I recall how WoTC was saying the 2024 MM was the first 5e book with a naughty word in it. Well, I was doing some reading up on my FR lore, and it dawned on me that Umberlee has a certain title, used in SCAG, that is also a naughty word!

I am very excited for the bestiary! I've been looking at Forgotten Realms stuff on wikis and such, and I feel that there's lots of material to work with! Not even just from 2e, as 3.5 introduced the shades/shadovar, and the kir-lanan! I think the kir-lanan would be a fun inclusion: vaguely...

Oh shoot, I definitely missed that!! Good point!! Well, I guess that might mean two new types of dragons in the book?

That really has me thinking that it's a sneak peek of the spirit dragons they mentioned in the Game Informer article!

I think there's an amber dragon in 2e that breathes heated sap?

That looks cool! Where is that from?

On a side note, is that supposed to be a green dragon? The antlers are odd. I wonder if that's a spirit dragon?

From the Game Informer article. It sounds like it'll be in the DM book!

I somehow missed that!!! That's a good sign for a saurial presence!! Thank you!!

Honestly, I'd be glad with just NPC stat blocks for the saurials! Maybe add them as species in the everything books, but even just a few saurial stat blocks would make me so happy. Where did they mention Dragonbait in this book?

I could see those on your list being included for sure! A few others I can think of (although some of these may be hopeful optimism) include wemics, Beasts of Malar, spell weavers(?), and the goofy monsters that I love so much, the winged wonder.

So, if the Dalelands are being focused on, what does that mean for the Lost Dale (and the saurials within)? I don't know much about the Dalelands, to be honest. Anyone with more knowledge have any input?

Weird that this book isn't on the D&D Beyond app, at least for me. Most of the time they get it on the app as soon as a book releases.
