Dungeons & Dragons MONSTER MANUAL

For a lot of Dungeons & Dragons players, the Monster Manual was the magical book that hooked them. It's traditionally a tome of magic and wonder for young players, filled with strange beasts that defy description and written to appeal to the kind of kid that obsessively categorizes dinosaurs and devours tomes of mythology. The Monster Manual for D&D's 5th Edition is a grand old book in that tradition, mixing game usefulness and a healthy respect for the mystery and purpose of its own contents. It's a bestiary in the grandest sense.

The Monster Manual is an illustrated bestiary that collects the most iconic monsters of the Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game and provides story hooks for each monster that can inspire adventures. Written for both novice and experienced Dungeon Masters, the book contains page after page of creatures to challenge heroes throughout their adventuring careers.

Each monster’s description is written to help you bring the monster to life, both in terms of roleplaying and combat, and to understand the monster’s place in the D&D multiverse.

The creatures described in this tome inhabit a wide variety of locations, from the deepest caverns of the Underdark to the far-flung Outer Planes.
