Dungeons & Dragons 5th Ed: Volo’s Guide to Monsters

Research has never been so dangerous…

Explore the breadth of D&D’s monsters in this immersive 224-page
volume filled with beautiful illustrations and in-depth lore. Volo’s Guide to Monsters provides something exciting for players and Dungeon Masters everywhere!

The esteemed loremaster Volothamp Geddarm is back and he’s written a
fantastical dissertation, covering some of the most iconic monsters in
the Forgotten Realms. Unfortunately, the Sage of Shadowdale himself,
Elminster, doesn’t believe Volo gets some of the important details quite
right. Don’t miss out as Volo and Elminster square off (academically
speaking of course) to illuminate the uninitiated on creatures both
common and obscure. Uncover the machinations of the mysterious Kraken
Society, what is the origin of the bizarre froghemoth, or how to avoid
participating in the ghastly reproductive cycle of the grotesque
vargouille.

Dungeon Masters and players will get some much-needed guidance as you
plan your next venture, traipsing about some dusty old ruin in search
of treasure, lore, and let’s not forget ... dangerous creatures whose
horns, claws, fangs, heads, or even hides might comfortably adorn the
walls of your trophy room. If you survive.
