Mordenkainen Presents: Monsters of the Multiverse (Dungeons & Dragons Book)
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

To be honest this book is mainly there to balance the player options to allow the races to be fairer rather than have DM's hitting them with the ban stick at their table. Its easy to use and with monster encounters, takes material that has appeared in other titles and stuck it all in one title, so that on sites like D&D Beyond, you don't have to purchase all the other books in order to get the races for you use. If they did this with the classes it would keep it a lot easier for the DM and players to save on purchasing so much more. All in a shame that it seems to be more of a money maker than anything else and with them withdrawing certain titles leaves those who have purchased them feeling cheated.

To any fellow DM's out there. If you already own majority of the other monster books, do yourself a favor and do not make this purchase as you will already have 99.5% of the material this book provides. This is purely pathetic on the part of Wizards of the Coast/Hasbro to sell you in some cases page for page of what you've already purchased with a new cover masquerading as new source material.
