A Horde of New 5th Edition Monsters!

DM: “A collection of hundreds of eyes floats down the corridor toward you, dripping caustic fluid that sizzles when it hits the ground. What do you do?”
PLAYER: “I retire and become a farmer.”

Whether you need dungeon vermin or world-shaking villains, the Tome of Beasts 1 (2023 edition) has it. This book presents more than 400 foes suitable for any campaign setting—from tiny drakes and peculiar spiders to demon lords and ancient dragons.

• Updates to include errata and streamline mechanics
• 11 new creatures like the ashwalker, planewatcher, and the ancient cave dragon
