Dungeons & Dragons launched the great tradition of roleplaying games in 1974 with an unprecedented mix of adventure and strategy, dice-rolling, and storytelling. Wizards of the Coast continues to honor that tradition, bringing to market a diverse range of D&D game and entertainment experiences and influencing numerous writers, directors, and game designers by tapping into an innate human need to gather with friends and tell an exciting story together.

Introduction

Beasts are intriguing. Behemoths are terrifying. Both can make a story surprising and memorable.

This book takes you on a tour of some of the tiniest and tallest monsters from the world of Dungeons & Dragons. It will tell you where they come from, how they act, and advise you on overcoming their dangers.

Read this guide from start to finish, or open it up at any spot, see a cool illustration that catches your eye, and begin your journey from there. The more you read, the easier it will be to craft your own stories of sweeping adventure against the minuscule and the mighty.

Will your quests lead you to conquer colossal creatures, creating a legacy spoken of for generations, or will you be destroyed, fallen and forgotten? In the end, the decision is yours. Dungeons & Dragons is all about building new stories, and yours can begin right now.

Enjoy!
