That is likely. I do hope they add at least a few new-to-5e monsters though!

What Eberron monsters are they likely to add this time around? What ones were missed in Rising From the Last War?

Looks like it, but it sounds like there'll only be 5 races, which, counting the Khoravar (half elves?), is 5 I believe.

Apparently the monsters are "inspired by a campaign model", which sounds like a neat idea! I have no idea how that works! (Yes, the monsters excite me the most. I am nothing if not predictable!)

Also, unsure if anyone else mentioned it, but I bet that this is the mysterious October release

If they are adding new monsters, I wonder which Ravenloft beasties they'll choose! I love the Skin Thieves from the Ravenloft Monstrous Compendium Appendix III, and although I doubt they'll bring them back, I ADORE these weird bear monsters that pretend to be humanoid by skinning random people...

I love the Reanimator! And I love that one of the options for Improved Reanimation is "Moist". That feels appropriately icky!

Weird thing #2 I noticed: the Tiger in the 2024 PHB and the Tiger in the 2024 Monster Manual are quite different! The PHB Tiger has different HP, and has a multi attack including a Pounce and a Prowl action, whereas the MM Tiger has more HP, a Rend attack instead of Pounce, and Nimble Escape as...

No. Not only is there the Big Ethical Issues, I also find most "AI art" to just be substandard and derivative, which makes sense given how it's made. I'd vastly prefer something made by human hands, even if it's not my favourite style, to the Slop.

Glad to see WoTC isn't abandoning the Radiant Citadel! It is a brilliant concept, and something fresh added to the 5e standard cosmology. In general, I'm all for revisiting and expanding on settings and worlds that have already had products made about them, as opposed to "checking them off the...

I noticed that the word "elusive" shows up a LOT in the book, for some reason! Once I noticed it, I kept seeing it everywhere.

There's this partial table of contents from the D&D Beyond page Here's the link

That's awesome!!! Library Buddies!! 🤓

Also, I had noticed that this piece from the 2025 Monster Manual (one of my faves in that book!) was done by Adam Rex. I work in a library, and spend time shelving books in the children's section, so I recognized the name from books in our collection! Not only is this indeed the same Adam Rex...

I'm such a fan of his work! The gelugon/ice devil he did remains my favourite piece of art for that Fiend.

Mordenkainen Presents: Monsters of the Multiverse has a piece of info that might be useful: that babau demons originated from the spilt blood of Graz'zt, as he fought Glasya in the Blood War. Perhaps this makes Graz'zt and Glasya rivals?
