D&D Monstrous Compendium: Vol. 4: Eldraine Creatures is a Dungeons & Dragons monster companion created for the Magic: The Gathering setting of Eldraine. The book was released by Wizards of the Coast on September 22, 2023 as a digital-only publication, exclusively available on D&D Beyond.[1] The book retails for $5.99 USD, which marks the first time the series has had a cost associated with it, as previously all three volumes were free to D&D Beyond subscribers.
Description
The digital publication features 25 unique monsters from Eldraine, a storybook world of quests and castles, knights and wizards, wicked warlocks and fantastical creatures. Once, valiant knights would venture from five royal courts to fulfill noble quests — but the invasion of the horrific Phyrexians from another world changed all that and left the kingdom in ruins.
The Realm and the Wilds of Eldraine were first introduced to players of Magic: The Gathering with 2019’s Throne of Eldraine set. The 2023 Wilds of Eldraine set presents the world in the wake of the Phyrexian invasion, leaving behind the knights and castles and delving deep into the strange and mysterious wilds. Here, giants lumber through the clouds, faeries make mischief, and witches cackle over bubbling cauldrons.
