When is this coming out again? With the exception of the draconic priest I can't wait to find out what these things are.
December, alas.
The shark thing's eyes scream Daemon to me for some reason...

1. Jabberwocky
2. I really don't know, but if I had to guess, I would say that the Nirvana Dragon has been redesigned.
3. Stygian Leviathan (CR 21, From the Tome of Horrors II). Sure, it looks like a shark and not a whale, but this seems much more frightening and in line with what the greatest predator in the River Styx should look like.
4. Giantess with wild hair, clothes and expression, vaguely knightly armor, two handed warhammer...Definately a Titan.

Wow, epic sweetness, I hope the "epic" book is soon to follow... :D
Well remember that even in a 1-20 game you still need something that is CR 23 for an epic(apl+3) end fight and allow PCs to use all those cool capstone powers. So having CR 20+ is important.
Best hope the PCs have invested in a Vorpal Sword and that the "Mutant Rabbit" doesn't just snap it like a toothpick.
Daemon astral hunting shark? Puts the astral construct to shame. It's Jaws vs. an astral caravan (that looks like a fishing boat).

I have to agree, I'm really disappointed in the "Titan" art. I mean, the only way we know the size is because of the cheap trick of the cape fluttering partially behind a tree - which is necessary because otherwise it is impossible to tell the perspective of the character versus the trees. What is that thing it is a attacking? A chocolate demon?

I'm a little disappointed with the titan, I honestly haven't seen any better than the original 3.0 artwork for one. It looks good, better than the 3.5, but just not...regal enough maybe?
I did think a titan would be a little less...armored? But still she's not too bad. Would be more impressive if she were giving a boot to the face of a building or something. But yeah, whack a mole is pretty addictive, especially when you can chase the mole!

The chocolate demon is actually the monster in that illo. I don't know where ya'll are getting titan from.
That's what I was thinking at first because why would a monster illustration have an attack target of something with horns. Of course, everyone kept saying Titan so I looked at the bigger picture. The problem is the one I mentioned earlier - bad perspective and the cape going behind the leafy blob changes it.

I think once you get to read his totally real "Dark Confection Deception" ability a lot of what you're seeing will make much better sense. But remember, it's not the calories, it's the saturated fat that'll getcha!

I hear that saturated fat doesn't even allow a saving throw.
Edit: Also, that's not a titan. It's a Jolly Red Giant, the rare female counterpart of the Jolly Green Giant. She's punishing that chocolate demon for discouraging people from eating their veggies.

I didn't work on this book, so don't draw conclusions. ;)
How does one draw conclusions, anyway? I always get the wrings wrong.

You know nothing. Jolly Red Giants make people eat red meat. She punishes the little bugger for being a vegetarian.
