I like the description of celestials material bodies trailing of in cloud/smoke/light wisps.

I like that the guardian naga seems to have more of a South Asian feel to it, which makes sense, given its origins.

I would have preferred they be giants. What about them is celestial, exactly?

They're wanting to move animal-type monsters with human-like levels of sapience out of the beast category, and are using the Beastlands as one of the likely origins for such creatures.

Damn that Solar is ripped.

They seemed to make quite a lot of "celestial conflict" in the video. I wonder of there are specific plans for upcoming adventures or anything.

Damn that Solar is ripped.

Not as ripped as that pegasus.

I like that sapient giant animals are now celestials - makes sense to me.

Fine with the change to Sphinx's too, not sold on their art though. I guess it makes for the change though.

Wait does that include Giant Eagles?

Because that means Druids lose one of their best flying wildshape options.

Pretty sure they mentioned giant eagles (and owls) as specific examples that were changing, so...yeah.

We could stand to see a lot more art of the idealized form. Its called Fantasy folks!

Yes, they mentioned giant eagles as being celestials now.
