What should the next "Monster Type" book from WotC be?

[haiiro]

Sweet, sweet oozes. It probably won't happen, but a guy can dream, right?

Fey. More info of Pixies, Nymphs, Dryads. Get stuff on Leprechauns and the like. It would be great.

 

[Ogrork the Mighty]

I think Magical Beasts is one of the most realistic for a future product. I thought about Elementals but there's a lot of elemental info out there if you look around. If it was fey, I probably wouldn't buy it. Constructs could be a possibility as well. Maybe giants too. I just can't see them putting out a book on oozes.

 

[FreeXenon]

Constructs or Fey

 

[dren]

The Book of Wonderous Wonders...a treatise on fey would be great.

I think Magical Beasts is one of the most realistic for a future product.

The problem with magical beasts is that it's a catch-all category. Dragons and Undead all have a lot of similarities with one another, so books dedicated to those make sense. Aberrations aren't as connected to one another (unless you run in an Eberron campaign, in which case most of them either come from the plane of Xoriat or have been altered by those who do), which leads to a somewhat disjointed feeling in Lords of Madness (at least from what I've gathered by reading about it). Magical beasts have even less connecting them than Aberrations do, so I don't think a book dedicated to them as a category is a good idea.

 

[Mystery Man]

Toss up between Fey and Outsiders.

Fey over Outsiders

I think the fey need good treatment for D&D from an "official" source. There are some good d20 sources, but I'd like to see how they fit into the strict D&D cosmology. They've got plenty of Outsider stuff in the Manual of the Planes, Book of Vile Darkness, Book of Exalted Deeds, Fiend Folio, etc.

I voted for Giants and Fey would be my second choice. Both need more extended treatment.

 

[IronWolf]

Went with Giants.... Same as I did in the other thread...
