D&D 4E What does your dream 4e Monster Manual contain?

[Shade]

OK, assuming that the 4E Monster Manual follows the similar approach to the 3E and 3.5 MM, and that its' contents will be the bulk of what is available for 3rd-party publishers to use, what would you most like to see within?

Remember that the core game now goes to 30th level.

Here's mine. I've doubtless forgotten some of the many creatures I'd love to see within. My main goal was to get as many base creature subsets into the system as early as possible, notably the exemplars of the various alignments.

To make room for more monsters, none of the playable races from the PHB would be reprinted here.

 

[Upper_Krust]

Asmodeus, Demogorgon, Tiamat...and possibly the Daemons/Yugoloths. All the best stuff from the 1st Ed. Monster Manuals with about 10-20% new stuff.

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

Aspects. Easily one of the best new monster types in 3E.

I also want to see the new monsters with the most "traction" in the Monster Manual.

I want to see a metric ton of choices for familiars.

 

[Ringan]

I will be pretty happy as long as they include death knights!

<--Death knight fanboy

 

[Kunimatyu]

I really want to see core yugoloths.

Grell, grick(but redesigned), and some beholderkin would be icing on the cake.

My favorite monster, the aboleth, I'm actually okay with not seeing in the core book -- aquatic mastermind monsters are definitely niche. (I still want to see the mini, though!)

 

[Thurbane]

1/2 Ogre!

 

[DMH]

30-50 of the most generic monsters and the rest being templates.

 

[Remathilis]

1/2 Ogre!

agreed!

 

[PrinceXaxor]

Core Yugoloths.

 

[JDJblatherings]

all the 1st edition MM monsters along with the original 3e MM monsters with monsternomicon style write-ups.
