I was intrigued by the Tane like the Jabberwock. I noticed that Bestiary 5 didn't feature any new Tane.
Are we going to get more in a future book or at least learn more about them?

Jabberwocky
by Lewis Carroll
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe.
All mimsy were the borogroves
And the mome raths outgrabe.
"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that scratch!
Beware the Jub-Jub Bird and shun
The furmious Bandersnatch!"
He took his vorpal sword in hand,
Long time the manxome foe he sought.
Then rested he by the Tum-Tum Tree,
And stood awhile in thought.
And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tugley wood
And burbled as it came!
One! Two! One! Two! And trough! And Through!
The vorpal blade went 'snicker-snack!'
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.
"And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
Oh, frabjous day! Callou! Callay!"
He chortled in his joy.
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe.
All mimsy were the borogroves
And the mome raths outgrabe.
(Recited from memory... I may have gotten a bit of that wrong.)
BTW, this poem is the original source of the term "vorpal sword."
Gary Gygax was a big fan of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass, hence the inclusion of the vorpal sword magic item in the original D&D game.
(Also see the AD&D modules EX1: Dungeonland and EX2: The Land Beyond the Magic Mirror.)

The jubjub bird and bandersnatch are indeed Tane, and have already been statted in the Bestiaries!
Jabberwocky, from my grandmother's 19th century copy of Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There.
’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
“Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!”
He took his vorpal sword in hand;
Long time the manxome foe he sought—
So rested he by the Tumtum tree
And stood awhile in thought.
And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.
“And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!”
He chortled in his joy.
’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves

All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
She was a Scots teacher who taught English, she would read it to me endlessly, and explained what everything meant in the poem. Her copy is also full of illustrations of dozens of scenes from the story.
(Slithy) toves are (smooth furred) badgers with a corkscrew horn going forward over their snout.
Borogoves are wingless parrots with toucan-sized beaks and flamingo-like legs.
(Mome) Raths are a smooth green turtle/tortoise with shark-like mouth/teeth that are (solemn).
I've never thought of what a Tumtum tree was until just now, I just pictured an elm, oak, or chestnut, though an apple or other fruit tree could serve.
You have to read the poem with a brogue, any other way just sounds wrong.
Maaaaaybe. Stay tuned. :)I was intrigued by the Tane like the Jabberwock. I noticed that Bestiary 5 didn't feature any new Tane.
Are we going to get more in a future book or at least learn more about them?
Can you tell more about this yet?

The First World: Realm of the Fey has quite a lot new info on Tane. I believe this book is what James what referring to.
Wow, Reiko was busy in this thread, wasn't she?
