Tome of Beasts
The Tomes of Beasts are a series of Monster Manuals for Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition written and published by Kobold Press. Whilst officially setting neutral, all of the creatures entered in these books have an official presence in the Midgard setting, and often include small sidebars addressing lore specific to that setting.
Currently, there are three books in the series; the Tome of Beasts, the Tome of Beasts II, and the Creature Codex, which despite its different name is officially a "Tome of Beasts 1.5", with a number of monsters that expand upon entries seen in the first Tome of Beasts.
