[QUOTE="MechaTarrasque, post: 7734004, member: 6801226"] I seem to recall the devs saying they were looking at reprinting the monster entries from the AP's in one book, and the more I think of it, the more "foes" would fit that idea. We have had a lot of big name foes appear in AP's since 5e began. I do think they will have a bunch of new monsters (probably some archdevils and Iuz [since he seems more Greyhawk-specific then other big bads]) and some CR 19 or less types (some of the missing devils, demons, yugoloths, demodand/gehreleths, and maybe the archons and guardinals*) * The demodands in particular seem good fit, since they always felt like more of a "summons went wrong" then "purposely summoned" fiend, so they aren't things most casters have heard of or dealt with. My guess about the archons is because they renamed the elemental archons into elemental myrmidons (freeing up the name). It seems like they are good with celestial elves filling up the eladrin role (and since the celestial elves can be eladrin subraced elves that probably fits), although I would like NPC classes for them that fit the pre-4e eladrin. Guardinals would primarily show because they had stuff for everyone else (maybe changing the focus to be more about guarding things--adding range for "cosmic guard types" beyond the unicorn, the guardian naga, and the sphinxes.
