D&D Alumni: Cloakers! Cave Fishers! Babau!

HELL YES. Cloakers! And cave fishers! Ever since I read Homeland I have liked cave fishers, and I am going to get the opportunity to use one of these guys in my upcoming game. Shame I don't have the stats right the hell now.

Tri-keen are also present! Go bugmen!

Although I'm wary of the Oblivion Moss, which makes you lose your powers. I pretty much hate anything that causes power shutdowns.

There's a brief mention of nalfeshnee being in the book.

I'm most excited about the kraken, myself. One of our favorite old monsters, and pretty excited about the version that can attack spelljammers in the Astral Sea.

I was kind of hoping the elemental evil princes would be lower level so I could include them in my paragon level Temple of Elemental Evil arc, but at least it gives me a baseline to down-level them.

When they started mentioning Imix and Olhydra as primordials (in MotP, I think), that pretty much cemented them as level 30+ solos. Maybe they will include the avatars of elemental evil that appeared in one of the late 3.5e MMs (MM4? MM5?) as sort of "aspects". I know most primordials are imprisoned, but the princes seem like excellent candidates to be among the free-roaming (or at least heavily involved in their return).

I am surprised by the return of the obliviax, and stoked about the cave fisher and kraken.

Really looking forward to the cave fisher and the babau's (and the Nalfeshnee) myself!

What IS a Nalfeshnee?

If they don't have Bwimb, Paraelemental lord of Ooze, I for one am going to boycott. Up with Bwimb!

What IS a Nalfeshnee?

A kind of pig/gorilla demon.

Nalfeshnee - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

They are sometimes described as the "judges" of the Abyss, tasked with determining the fate of damned souls.

I was a bit surprised that there's only two of them in MM3. Ah, well, have to wait for MM4 then, I guess

Babau-oom-a-mow-wow Babau-ooma-wow-wow
Well don't you know about the bird?
Well, everybody knows that the bird is the word!

Perhaps, if the aspects of the Princes aren't in the MM3, WotC will release the aspects in dragon articles.
