He mentions deities aren't a focus right at the very end, so the entire question of celestials is left completely in the air at this point from what I've seen so far.But as for what we do know, 130+ pages of monsters, with over half of them being CR 10+, means that we'll likely see 50 - 60 creatures within that CR range. The Demon Lord entries from OotA clock in at about 2 pages each, and I wouldn't be surprised at all if we see them repeated here (it is a bit unfair to make a new DM have to buy OotA just for them), with maybe 1 - 3 more new ones thrown in for variety (Kostchtchie and Pazuzu are definite candidates here, in fact the bird-headed creature on the far left of the special edition might very well be Pazuzu). I imagine something similar for the Archdukes of the Hells as well, which will give us at least 10 more (as Phlegethos has co-rulers, at least as of our last update) and maybe some previous archdukes such as Geryon. With all this focus on the Blood War, I imagine we'll get most if not all of the remaining Yugoloths updated, and hopefully we'll get the General of Gehenna statted out. Modrons haven't been mentioned yet specifically, but this would seem to be a good place to get the Hierarchs in...As for non-planar higher CR creatures, well, this book is just crying out for a high-level Priestess of Lolth as the ultimate drow foe. And one thing that annoyed me in Volo's is that it lacked higher CR beholder foes, so it would be nice to see an Elder Orb and/or Hive Mother here (I'm less hopeful for some sort of higher level mind flayer and yuan-ti foes, as I thought the Elder Brain and Yuan-ti Anathema were tuned a bit too low, and these have always been portrayed as the ultimate forms for each race respectively).As for the lower-level stuff, no doubt we'll see some of the duergar varieties from OotA (and hopefully the derro as well), and likely a few more types of low-to-mid level drow. I also imagine we'll see several varieties of mid-to-high-level gith as well.  And we'll probably get some random stuff that doesn't quite fit any of these, if Volo's is anything to go on...</blockquote>
