I bought this to go along with my copy of the World of Warcraft RPG, and I don't regret it (especially since, as of this writing, the "Monster Guide" is still months from seeing print).
While there are quite a few omissions that players of the MMORPG will miss (such as Worgen), it covers most of the really distinctive denizens of Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms - and even a few from Northrend. It provides a lot of background information for most of the monsters, and was well worth the read just to fill in some story details that I hadn't yet picked up from the Warcraft games.
Even for players of regular D&D, this book offers some interesting twists on more "traditional" monsters that you might find in the "Monster Manual". And, the monsters here are still usable with the "World of Warcraft RPG" book. (Just keep in mind that "Dexterity" is now "Agility", "Constitution" is now "Stamina", and "Wisdom" is now "Spirit". It's mostly just a change in terminology ... Read More

I bought both the RPG book and this book for just the theme info.
I enjoyed this one more. This gives info on all the monsters(history, culture, weapons) and for the famous characters as well. Though this book doesnt have the history of azeroth like the RPG book does, in this book u will find viewer mistakes.

The long awaited monster manual for Warcraft. Lets admit it no one wants to run a setting game without its proper monsters, so we all complain and whine when they take 3 months after the setting to release it.
This one is worth the wait if any monster manual is.
The monsters are inovative adaptations of the games monsters, though not always accurate and sometimes the spirit of the monster from the video game loses some.
The details for each monster are abit lacking but they give all the necessary information, just some lack of the added fun details we all sometimes enjoy.
The art is of the same quality as the previous Warcraft books and games, enjoyable for its unique qualities.
Two things shine out even beyond the rest.
The dragonflights are marvelous, five different species of dragons at similar power levels, but that are actually different. Sword and Sorcery/ White Wolf, could teach Wizards that you don't always need to make something stronger to make it ... Read More

I used this book in addition to the standard core rule book for DnD, I would like to say that this Manual of Monsters really puts a spin on "well-known" creatures of RPG gaming.
Take the Troll and the Quimera for example, they would seemed twitched but actually they are a different breed, a WarCraft breed (they are very nice fitted and adapted from the RTS).
There are several other creatures that can be used for a normal campaign, such as the Nerubian ( a spider like race ) the Tuskar ( a walrus like race ), Thundering Lizards, Wendigos, Murlocs even Nagas ( here is another interesting change from the typical DnD creature) that come all from the RTS video Game.
It comes with a change for dragons, because it actually includes 5 dragon flights or species: black, blue, bronze, green and red, each with historical facts that fit quite well in any campaign or ingoing game.
Finally it includes several heroes taken from the video game, Sylvanna, Arthas ... Read More
