[QUOTE="JEB, post: 8646806, member: 10148"] I can see a number of ways to expand that count: 1. Troll variants and ogre variants (and possibly other creatures of the giant type, like oni). 2. More variants of core giants, like we got for duergar, drow, etc. in MOTM. 3. Giants from settings other than the Realms, reframed in a multiversal way: Spelljammer, Dark Sun, and Eberron have assorted unique giants and giant-kin, for example. 4. And that. Also keep in mind that if they dedicate as much room to the core giant lore generally as they did dragons in Fizban's, they could also dedicate additional special space to troll and ogre lore, which has yet to get any special attention in 5E. So they could cut back the bestiary in favor of more tabular lore options and such. I doubt they'd just cut-and-paste the Volo's giant lore into the book, I'm sure they'd have a multiversal revision in mind. (You would upset some folks who liked the VGTM giant lore, but I don't think they care much about that anymore.) And if some of the reprinted monsters weren't in MOTM, there are also folks who'd appreciate the post-Tasha's update. I certainly wouldn't complain about that; we are overdue for an undead-centric book for sure (unless they counted Van Richten's?). But this UA is the only monster-centric clue we've had, so... Or they're just mashing together playtest options from different upcoming books, like they did last year, and we're going to get a giant-centric book and a prehistoric setting book... [/QUOTE]
