Love this book, btw, what did you think of the Luck Leech?

[@christopherbernard8974]

Stretdaww

[@Dahaka-rd6tw]

25:50 Normal Dilophosaurus or Jurassic Park's venom spitting Dilophosaurus?

[@Nex_Addo]

"I could have almost done a top ten in just the letter A". High praise. But as a long time fan of the first ToB, I believe it.

[@Kugo]

holy cow Ted you got like 10 years younger 😂

[@warlockghovat5745]

I am Linus van Pelt. As a child, I did spend many Halloween nights in the pumpkin patch trying to make contact with the Great Pumpkin King. On my tenth attempt he did come and now I serve him.

[@TheodoreMinick]

"Ululation, from Latin ululo, is a long, wavering, high-pitched vocal sound resembling a howl with a trilling quality. It is produced by emitting a high pitched loud voice accompanied with a rapid back and forth movement of the tongue and the uvula." Think Xena.

[@quantum_ogre]

That Dragonflesh Golem looks AMAZING. Imagine a secret baddie taking the parts of dragons handed over by the party from kill quests to unleash that thing.

[@KeithGigliotti]

Kobold Press monster books are amazingly amazing. Love them.

[@KevinVideo]

When I saw the dragonflesh golem I cheered! I haven't seen that sucker since 3.5's Monster Manual II. I'm so very happy to see its return.

[@midnightjester36]

For the garlicle charecter I would suggest the name Alice Lynn - Allicin is a chemical compound found in garlic and is released when the garlic is crushed (alninase->alliin->allicin) it creates the aroma of garlic as well as acts as a defense mechanism against attacks from pests. It is also good for you and important to garlic related fermented products

[@Samyule618]

But Kobold Press loves the puns! Garlic + Oracle = Garlicle

[@calasurien]

I was just reading the first Tome of Beast book Then I checked youtube, you are awesome

[@TVMAN1997]

Time to make Linus from Charlie Brown who is a warlock for the pumpkin king

[@tamaraschmeling7361]

I support this 100%.

[@FightingTheDark]

Aaaay, the Alpha Fish was my creature! Glad you enjoyed the play on words there. :)

[@loganfalvo7349]

Idea for garlical name "clovis" "high Clovis" "bulb-a-fet"

[@Nildread]

Sebulba could also work if your players hate the prequels.

[@skeetazaurus]

Bulb-a Fett is awesome! 🤯

[@GrimBrotherIV]

Spirit Gourdians!

[@zombiemanjosh]

I'm so glad someone else said it. He misses out on the perfect pun chance.

[@jacobyullman5005]

Oh! The 'snake with a hundred mage hands' gives me an idea for an awesome magic item! The Bracelet of One Hundred Hands. Designed to look like the snake and allows you to use the snake's Flying Fists ability a certain number of charges per day, and regains it's charges daily at dawn. Maybe have it give advantage on slight of hand checks so long as one charge remains.

[@samw.6876]

The Lunarian, Ophinix, Satarre, Diminution Drake, Grimmlet, Gulper Behemoth, Malleable, Runeswarm, Spellhound and Stellar Rorqual are my top 10 for my upcoming science fantasy game!

[@Maddog80s]

This video inspired me to purchase my very first 3rd party dnd content supplement. I hope Kobold Press continues to see the value of sponsorship or content creator like yourself.

[@celesteconowitch3121]

Yay!! Thanks for reviewing and so glad to see my Pumpkin boi make the list :D

[@NerdImmersion]

Ah! I didn't know you made that one! Awesome job as usual!

[@zombiemanjosh]

I can't stop thinking of a Garlicle chef that reads cryptic messages in alphabet soup after tossing the cloves in.

[@HiddenNerdySide]

I've used many Tome of Beasts' monsters in my worlds and I INSTANT bought this book when it came out. I can't recommend it enough.

[@madgoat9603]

Why not?

[@JGCH9]

One of my favorite d&d youtubers comments on another one of my favorite d&d youtuber's videos... no way

[@knightghaleon]

Pumpkin king looks badass but also I want to make him my Fey pact warlock patron.

[@Logandroid]

I'm not really a fan of the stats of a lot of ToB creatures, but the lore is always 10/10.

[@Kirusion]

I finally got to use some low level monsters from this book in my new homebrew world, I used those boomer fungi, and oh boy they took down one player and knocked another out while they were running past as they seemed to have forgotten about the 10ft range and left most of them alone as they were level 1

[@marcclement6597]

Garlicle would make great vampire hunters.

[@Torthrodhel]

Pumpkin King: "Are you sure you don't want to stay?" Lightfoot Gnome: "Oh no, we just really want to get home." Pumpkin King: "Ah well... you'll join us someday."

[@ViperLord21]

Snake with a Hundred Mage Hands is now my absolute favorite thing and I'm going to use it, thanks for sharing! Any chance of reviewing Kobold Press' Deep Magic book, maybe a top 10 or 15 of spells from that book?

[@bradjr10]

I would love to see a top 10 video on your for favorite 3rd party 5e supplements

[@brostmech]

Name of high Garlicle should be Dialyll. Its part of the name of the compound that gives garlic its flavor

[@peterterry7918]

Either that or his brother is Dialyll and his other brother is Dialyll.

[@teacup_ninja]

I love it, weird and thought-provoking. My favorite is the Keyhole Dragonette, perfect for the UA Drakewarden released today :D

[@cschwally]

Just used the Haggarna in yesterday’s game. And your top pick is perfect. Good Doggo!!

[@L0rdm3phiston]

I am beyond ready to get this book

[@valiensr1037]

Okay, Snake with a hundred mage hands is now my favorite thing XD

[@miles6283]

Tomb of Beasts is by far my favorite 3rd party D&D book, I am beyoned hyped for ToB2.

[@anix712]

Snake with a Hundred Mage Hands... "The hands can't wield weapons or shields..." art literally depicts one of the hands wielding a dagger. Not a ding against the creature or anything, it looks fun(ny). It just amused me to note it.

[@joshmorgan6703]

Have this on preorder, can't wait to dive in!

[@Kakkarot211]

I hope you cover stibbles codex as well :) good video as always

[@mattbriddell9246]

I'll give a nod to the Degmadu. The thing is literally the Sarlacc from Return of the Jedi (or as close as you get get to it).

[@dragonmaster613]

the Ahu-Nixta is Krang from TMNT of Daleks from Doctor Who!

[@UnableToFindName]

They really did bit it out of the park with this one. I'm already using monsters from it in my on going campaign, like the deathweaver spider and new derro for an Underdark arch.

[@Jerseyangel89]

Bonespitter looks the most like the sandworms from Dune.

[@fanusobscurus]

Just... the twitter thread where they revealed the Ogrepede. It is pure sadistic joy.

[@xxmagixxgamer1741]

Okay I know the snake is my absolute favorite. I love the art

[@kevinwheeler7427]

My party was just on their way to raid the laboratory of an insane dragonborn wizard and lo and behold the Dragonflesh Golem gets dropped right in my lap.

[@jonathanlavy605]

KP needs to make a race book of all the humanoid in their books

[@Howler452]

One of my players hates moths...I must now get this book just because of that Moth Abomination.

[@Spiceodog]

I’m quite fond of the herald of death, bearing golem, and my number one pick .... bloom hydra

[@nickplatt3822]

I’ve got this on pre-order for when ever it drops for the public.

[@NerdImmersion]

It should be soon!

[@cistern]

Haircut for the people! Nice coif.

[@ethanrajczak3041]

Yooo these would be great for a lighthearted or spooky boi Halloween campaign.

[@AAron-gr3jk]

What a monster tome .. of monsters. Jeez it's big

[@MrNetWraith]

Because he didn't mention it, the Garlicle is a new "class variant" of the Alliumite, a race of awakened garlic/onion/leek plant people introduced in the Creature Codex, also by Kobold Press.

[@iangratton6062]

Ululation is a howling or wailing sound. In many cultures, the sound of ululation is common at a funeral, while in others the mourners only sniffle quietly. Ululation is often mournful and it's always full of emotion. It's a common cultural reaction to a death, as well as a highly expressive way of grieving. - From Vocabulary.com

[@AndICanTalk2]

Definitely picking these up

[@AndICanTalk2]

In fact, just did.

[@dirtywhitellama]

"I like tigers, but it needs more dragon." Yes. Every time.

[@GWalmott]

Felid dragon reminds me a lot of Breath of Fire, the fusion crystal and stuff

[@refinedbrass]

omg dude the giant honey bees and garlicle would be awesome to have in the same encounter seeing as honey bees really love allium plants those being onion, garlic, scallion, shallot, leek, and chives and lots more but imagine the garlicle living in symbiosis with the bees doing the bee dance and living in a hive/garden hybrid and have a head of the council that is the queen bees counterpart be called grandmother or grand matriarch Lily Siculum the name comes from Allium siculum, known as honey garlic, Sicilian honey lily, Sicilian honey garlic, or Mediterranean bells it would be cool if you had to help the people defend against a Derendian Moth Abomination seeing as some moth species use Allium as a food source

[@Kineteken]

Garlicle Name Shallot

[@frostdragonking5336]

I am a fan of creepy stuff and the orphans of the black are THE most amazing creature in the entire book imo.

[@NovaGirl8]

My freight forwarder has the physical books but I am waiting on some more purchases before getting it shipped to my country. Not read the pdf yet as I am holding off until I have books on hand to fully appreciate the books.

[@camiblack1]

The goofiness of the SWOMH is what I'd expect from the guys who brought us SWOLEBOLDS.

[@NerdImmersion]

You know that I created the Swolbold right?

[@camiblack1]

@@NerdImmersion oh I do, and they released it to the world. I share your the best things in D&D monsters are kinda goofy sentiment.

[@DracosDiabolis]

Pumpkin King new Fey Warlock patron. Lmao "Hail to the Pumpkin King!"

[@camiblack1]

Ahwwww yeah boy.

[@TenguMonk]

Any psionic critters in this book?

[@Xenofan20]

Wow I love this art!

[@ZetaNiGHT]

Call your elder high Garlicle 'Aglio Rosso' (or any other breed of garlic you like haha.)

[@Lanternman2814]

It's such a good book!!

[@NisansaDdS]

Clovis. The name for the Garlic man is Clovis.

[@salamshalom]

Holy haircut, Batman!

[@NathtouLightbringer]

love everything in here

[@kingdomecore5442]

there is one creature thats missing on that list imo: the mead archon! That angle can spit fire, but only if they drink alkohol beforehand

[@javierpatag3609]

What about the giant mimic? You know... the one that's big enough for high seas adventures? ;-)

[@Negeta]

GarLuke CloveStrider.

[@derskalde4973]

I'd immediatelly buy it, if I had money right now. Funny enough, I myself thought about creating a Tiger Dragon, the link between the two most powerful creatures in the world. I also thought about creating a dog dragon. OK, not really, it's more of a dragon, that happens to resemble a Bernhardiner a lot.

[@wretchedegg5170]

Now they just need to not charge me 65$ for shipping the book to Germany XD. I guess I'll stick with the PDF ^^

[@del799]

Will there be more information coming out on this? Frequent I fusions of draconic blood. How frequent? Hourly, daily, weekly, I assume to an elf that lives 750+ years monthly or yearly would be frequently. How much blood? A drop?

[@MrRawrgasmic]

I would love to play a snake with a hundred mage hands, would probably have to homebrew an alternative sorcerer to not be too op but God does it sound fun

[@ryedj707]

When I got the book I knew the crab was going to be on your list if you did a top 10 lmao.

[@cameronpearce5943]

Is their a Giant Honey Bee Queen? Garlicles should have some ability against Vampires, also a good name for a grand oracle could be Alliumona Satiphonius (Latin for Garlic mashed together with two mythical oricles)

[@rastasplash7334]

Make a garlicle paladin and do a curse of strahd game. Hahaha that was the first thing I thought of when I saw that.

[@fleetfoxification]

Great haircut Ted!

[@punishedwhispers1218]

I literally bought the book the moment this hit my notifications

[@hiei82]

My only disagreement is that Snake with One Hundred Mage Hands isn’t #1. One of those sneks is gonna be leveled up and made into my next big bad

[@stugod5000]

the only names I could come up for the Garlicle were Jean-Clove Van Damme or a Garlicle with a Cockney accent named Oi-Oli (a pun on aioli)

[@youcantbeatk7006]

#15 Pumpkin King Foot Lettuce

[@sambro6657]

Gonna get one soon

[@loganfalvo7349]

Your dragonic blood line sorcerer isn't there this week? They've been kidnapped by a mad mage to fuel their dragon flesh golem.....

[@twilightgardenspresentatio6384]

That moth looks like an adult cartoon crawler

[@michaelomeara1237]

A garlicle leader would have to be the Holy Aioli.

[@IsaacYost-Insanity]

Damn, I wish this could be on D&D Beyond, my current players are very new to ttrpg's and I'm using Beyond to make it easier for them.

[@camiblack1]

Get it, open up make a monster, open PDF, open word doc, ctrl+c-ctrl-v the relevant parts, don't share.

[@Nildread]

This book isn't for your players though, typically. They can still use d&d beyond and you can look at the pdf when you throw one of these at them.

[@IsaacYost-Insanity]

I do understand, but unfortunately due to my current circumstances I don't have the opportunity to manually transfer it. I would love to, and I'm going to buy the book because it is fantastic.

[@topsykretts2364]

Got yer copy too eh? Yeah Boy!

[@zorkwhouse8125]

wow, that thing is huge

[@biancabrooks280]

Lol!! Spirit Gourd-ians!! 🎃

[@Varizen87]

Ululation is the correct word. It's like a haunting cry or wail. The first time I encountered the word was in Final Fantasy XI as one of the tracks is something like Ululations From Beyond and I think the Lamiae in the game use a move called Ululation. Think of an Ululation as the stereotypical OooooooooOOOoooooOooooo people make when they pretend to be ghosts.

[@NerdImmersion]

Oh weird. You learn something new everyday!

[@robertmartinu8803]

Vrocks like to have Murgriks for dinner? Well, got to eat something on diet cheat day!

[@knightghaleon]

Whoever designed the Felid dragon is a Breath of Fire 3 fan.

[@DrCinnabon]

Clobuncle the Garlicle!

[@youcantbeatk7006]

Weird that those snakes don't understand thieves' cant.

[@wingp.7127]

I GOT A GREAT NAME Allicindro (cause garlic has allicin)

[@davidotoole2853]

chamrosh... thank you for your service

[@UKRacer36]

I was thinking the Great Aioli?
