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.

I always find stuff like this so tragic. There are many cases of Indigenous Peoples expecting the very minimum of fair, equal treatment upon first contact, only to be brutally let down and slaughtered.

Thank you!!

Any word on if the monsters have 2014 or 2024 stat blocks?

That armor and those mace heads are wicked!!

Glad I could help! :)
