Tired of the Monster Manual? Kobold Press’ Tome of Beasts 3 is out at last, and in it, more than 400 new monsters for 5E.

I cannot recommend the Tome of Beasts series highly enough for anyone looking to expand their D&D collection.

Kobold Press has made a habit of ramping up the intensity and creativity of what a 5th Edition monster can be. You’ll find legendary monsters that break expectations in pretty much any volume. Check out some of the creepy crawlies in the book right here:

If you want to find a catalog of creatures that will make any party of adventurers thinks twice about rolling for initiative, they’re worth checking out.

Especially the final volume in the series, Tome of Beasts 3. This ultimate volume packs in more than 400 new monsters for 5th Edition D&D. Creatures like ghost knight templars and riptide drakes will dramatically expand the tools in your DM toolbox for designing encounters, dungeons, and even campaigns. With foul new fiends and challenging aberrations, you’ll find villains a-plenty.

We can’t say enough good things about the Tome of Beasts series. If you want monsters that pack more of a punch than the ones in the vanilla manual, you’ll find them. There’s a ton of creativity here. And since the Tome features monsters designed by the community, you might find something your players were never expecting lurking in its pages.

    • A remote woodland guarded by overgrown carnivorous denizens.
    • An ancient volcano awakened by an extraplanar portal at its heart.

Inside these 160 pages, you’ll find these 3 adventures and 20 more! Created for the 5th Edition of the world’s first roleplaying game, these 23 standalone, single-map adventures each feature new monsters from Kobold Press’s Tome of Beasts 3.

Weave these adventures into your ongoing campaign, or use them as thrilling one-shot sessions. With adventures suitable for heroes of level 1–12, you will find enough dangers—and delights—for every game night!

Are monsters not enough? You can pick up the Tome of Beasts Lairs book. The Tome of Beasts 3 Lairs book is a collection of monster lairs. Each one is a standalone, single-map adventure. Meaning you can run any of these as a pre-generated dungeon delve, or get ideas for how to make your monsters from ToB III even more unique.

The Void Knight is a great jumping-off point for your next villain, but beware, the Prismatic Dragons will spoil you
