A bestiary of wondrous friends and foes for the world’s greatest roleplaying game

Sparkling with the musings of the wizard Mordenkainen, this tome features a host of creatures for use in the Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game. Compiling and updating monsters that originally appeared in previous D&D fifth edition releases, these creatures represent some of the most benevolent and malevolent forces that D&D heroes might face.

The book also gathers together fantastical peoples from many different worlds. Each of these peoples represents a race option when you create your D&D character, expanding on the choices in the Player’s Handbook.

• Includes more than 250 monsters—updates to the monsters include making spellcasters easier for Dungeon Masters to run, giving many monsters more damage and resilience, and improving the organization of the stat blocks themselves
• Includes more than 30 playable races—brings the game’s setting-agnostic races into one book, complementing the races in the Player’s Handbook
• A multiverse of lore—includes updates to monster lore that refocuses their stories on the D&D multiverse, rather than on any particular world

Face the Denizens of the Cosmos

A companion to the Monster Manual, this book compiles and updates monsters and playable races that originally appeared in Volo's Guide to Monsters, Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes, and other Dungeons & Dragons books.

With insights from the wizard Mordenkainen and the occasional interjection from his friendly rival, the archmage Tasha—the monsters, nonplayer characters, and fantastical races herein provide a host of potential friends and foes to populate your D&D worlds.

Over 250 Monsters & NPCs

From the infamous Demogorgon to flail snails and the Demon Queen of Fungi—expand your bestiary with over 250 monsters and nonplayer characters from across the D&D multiverse.

In this book you’ll find art of previously unillustrated creatures, detailed lore, redesigned stat blocks that are easier to use, and updated monsters that have grown even more fierce.

Over 30 Playable Races

Play as a fairy or a satyr, a firbolg or a tortle—expanding upon the options in the Player’s Handbook, Monsters of the Multiverse collects over 30 additional race options for player characters to choose from.

First appearing in a variety of other Dungeons & Dragons books, this collection presents these options all together for the first time, each updated to fit the current state of the game.
