have released the 2025 edition of their Monster Manual, which contains a menagerie of the deadliest creatures a party could encounter.
From horrific monstrosities to cunning devils, the 2025 Monster Manual sees returning favorites come back with new abilities alongside brand-new monsters to face.
The strongest stat blocks in this book are only for the strongest heroes who can take down the greatest threats to the world.
Every monster in has a Challenge Rating (CR) tied to their stat block. This determines a recommended level at which your party of at least four characters should be before taking on a monster.
However, some monsters are so strong that they have a CR higher than 20, the highest player character level.
