D&D 5E RPG: Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes (Hardcover)

Product Review (submitted on November 27, 2019):

This book is split about half and half between lore and monster stats. The lore, is primarily focused on the different races and cultures players may come across or control, as well as information on the blood war between demons and devils. The monster half is where this book kicks off, with tons of new and interesting creatures. Both original, and variants of creatures like drow, trolls, and others. Some of my favorite creatures are the leviathan (basically the CR 20 water elemental), Nagpas (a wicked vulture-like humanoids), and the Astral Dreadnoughts, (hungry gargantuan creatures that scour the Astral Plane for things to devour.
There are a few reprints (the demon lords from OotA) but not enough to change the rating.

This book is great for DM's who are just looking for some new monsters to throw at players, as well as DM's who want to integrate more lore and detail into their world.
