The Book of Beasts is a bestiary you can play. It presents at least twenty-five new monsters in great detail, with further bonus monsters unlocked as stretch goals (see below). Each beast comes ready to play with tailored random encounters, presenting the Gamemaster with a handy set of mini-adventures to go.

The book also includes legends about each monster, introduces the option to harvest resources from slain beasts, and lets the player characters use their Lore skills to gain insight into a monster´s strengths and weaknesses. This will help them defeat – or at least survive an encounter with – the book´s monstrosities.

This hardback book will come with faux leather covers and gold foil stamping, just like the Player's Manual and Gamemaster's Guide in the core set. Among the monsters within these covers you will find the Amphibian, the Basilisk, the Iron Dragon, the Twisted Ent, and many more, ready for use in any Forbidden Lands campaign.

The Book of Beasts is penned by seasoned game writers Andreas Marklund and Erik Granström, gloriously illustrated by Henrik Rosenborg and with graphics by Niklas Brandt.
