D&D 5E Fizban Is In The Wild -- With the Table of Contents!

Some people have received their copies of Fizban's Treasury of Dragons, and have posted photos (including the table of contents!) online!

I'm tempted by this one. I guess I can consider it's the Draconomicon for 5E ?

Yep. Chapter 5 is even called the Draconomicon.

I had always assumed that the list of high CR dragons we had seen a few weeks ago was incomplete.

Edit, now that I've seen one of the quick previews, he flips past the Adult Deep Dragon, and it's only CR 11. So presumably the Ancient category is below 19. And presumably the same with moonstone dragons. That's an unexpected twist.

Based on the old flavor of 2E Deep Dragons which I found, I kind of figured they would be weaker, stealthy monsters that aren't as built for direct conflict. Relatively speaking, they are still Dragons.

Animated Breath is now my favorite creature ever! My life had no purpose until I saw this wondrously random monster.

That caught my eye too. Honesty Im pretty sure I was defeated by this creature more than once while out adventuring at my local tavern. Everyones ran into the person whose smoked three packs of non-filter Pal-Mals, has been drinking draft beer and whiskey since 9AM and decides youre their best friend and wont get away from you no matter how many times you try and run away.

Is Aremag new? Is he a friend to children everywhere?

Edited to add: He must be a dragon turtle...

I’m curious to see how closely the Draconians read, given their reskinning: Baaz/Foot Soldier, Bozak/Dreadnought, Kapak/Infiltrator, Sivak/Mastermind, Aurak/Mage would be my guess here

Aremag is really neat! Aremag is full of meat!

Not new, he was in Tomb of Annihilation, and old times Chult too, apparently. But yes, a Dragon Turtle.

My plan is to get the new box set in January, I wonder how much content from this book might come to the new book.. I guess not that much so I could probably buy that one too.

I like how this seems to focus on one concise topic, dragons, and doesn't look like it strays from that. I think this is a first for 5E and I can say I'm looking forward to checking this out.

I mean, Dragons are a big topic, and likely to sell well.

The sidebar examples are a wild bunch: a mix of general Dragon gods, Dragonlance, Eberron, Forgotten Realms, and Greyhawk characters.

Oh good gravy, you're right.

Im sure it will sell well too. I havent even considered using a dragon in my game since 5E came out and I may be inclined to do so after reading this book.

My six year old vets every new 5E b9ok to find the Dragon illustrations. He was ticked off at Theros, but I think this will go over well.

Something tells me Im sure it will.

Interesting how WotC is re-using the art from MtG Forgotten Realms Adventures. Originally, I had figured that artwork would go into a new Forgotten Realms campaign guide. But it seems to turn up in Fizban's and the new Mordenkainen book.

It's great art: it's worth noting that James Wyatt worked on the Magic Set, and then his next project was this book, so he knew the good Dragon art pretty well already.

Is this a turtle soup joke? Aremag is not amused.

That and Dragonblood Oozes. I can picture an Ancient or Great Wyrm fight at the end of the campaign where the breath stays in an animated form and Dragonblood Oozes form when the dragon takes X damage or more from a single attack.
