[Tales and Chronicles]

I can easily picture a book about elementals and and the elemental planes. It would not only have all the planes from MotP, but it would add many more. Instead of a paltry single Plane of Ice, it would have a plane for each of the know solid phases of water. Can you imagine how exciting it would be to have The Para-Elemental Plane of Very High Density Amorphous Ice? I probably should apply for that design position at WotC.

Id love to have either an aberrant+elemental+demons as a Big Book of Chaos and a Celestial+construct+devils as a Big Book of Creation

I thought Van Richten counted as the undead guide?

I'd be thrilled to have another boatload of creepy undead, for sure.

Or to be honest, any monsters lore dump.

Van Richten's had some solid Undead and other Horror themed Monsters, bit that was more of a Setting/Genre booster book. I think there is definitely room for a Fizban style book providing more guidance on creating NPC Undead BBEG and collecting various Undead from across D&D publishing history.

Yeah, the Creature Types I can see easily justifying a full book:

• Undead
• Aberration
• Elemental
• Fiend
• Celestial
• Fey

These I don't see really justifying a book, but maybe dispersed throughoutthe others:

• Beast
• Monstrosity
• Plant
• Humanoid
• Ooze
• Construct

Xvarts were in Volo's and the Monsters of the Multiverse.

I'd put Elementals, Oozes and Constructs in a book themed around alchemy and transmutation, like Tenser's Treatise of Threats or something like that.

I like where your head is at.

 

[mamba]

I thought Van Richten counted as the undead guide?

that was a Ravenloft setting book, not a monster manual style book, that is also reflected in it having about a third as many monsters as Fizban or Bigby

 

[DavyGreenwind]

I would actually combine monster books with books that have planar info.

A book about fiends, where the first half is about the lower planes, detailing lore and locations, and the second half is bestiary.

Celestials and upper planes.

Fey and Feywild/Domains of Delight.

Elementals and Inner planes (City of Brass Gazeteer)

Undead and Shadowfell.

Etc.
