12 new monster images revealed from Mordenkainen’s Tome of Foes!

I am no good at posting pictures, so you have to go to https://www.sageadvice.eu/2018/05/09/new-monsters-images-revealed-from-mordenkainens-tome-of-foes/.

Pictures include:

Giff
Eidolon (assumed no caption)
wintery Eladrin
Eladrin design shot
I have no idea, but ugly
The scariest looking Abashai I have ever seen--looks like it deserves a high CR
Abashai group shot
I have no idea, but ugly
Marut--Not your Dad's Marut, but seriously after looking at this, why would you want your Dad's Marut?
Marut design
Something big and scary (maybe a death giant?)
Another Giff
female Drow (matriarch?)

The last is definitely the Drow Matron Mother, they showed that art during the one-on-one battles on Twitch.

Utterly love the white abishai and nightwalker.

Those Eladrin look so sulky

It's so unfair Mum made me tidy my room

The rest are cool tho, especially the black thing - is that the nightmare?

So we finally get to see a Graphics Interchange Format Foe more commonly known as Giff.

Those Abishai! Did Asmodeus impregnate Tiamat?

Abishai have been dragon-themed since... I think 2001? I'm pretty sure they were in Monsters of Faerûn.

Love the Marut. Looks like a Modron on steroids, and I suddenly find myself imagining them as talking like the borg.

"We are the Marut. You will be incarcerated. Resistance is futile."

Cool artwork, but I have a hard time taking any product seriously that has anthropomorphic space hippo naval officers.

Obviously you've never played the Wizardry series of games nor Spelljammer. lol

so glad I pre ored this book on dndbyond roll20 and in my game store

were is the layer/realm of tiamat in 5e again

Pretty sure she is back on the 1st layer of hell (Avernus) in 5e, but no longer its "ruler"

I'm not a fan of the Eladrin ears. Never was a fan of the Giff.

The Abashai and tall smoke monster look great, though, and I am looking forward to the book.

Giff sounds like the younger brother of Biff. In fact Giff was beaten up Marty McFly and Biff in the only bonding moment they ever had.

They've been around since 1st edition, actually...
