@ChrisPerkinsDnD Just curious, are any of the monsters in Volo's 5e original? Or are they all ported from previous editions?

— Andrew Six (@TheDrewFro66) November 13, 2016

There are a few original monsters, but most have histories dating back to earlier editions. #WOTCstaff https://t.co/gsKqiQYhgu

@mikemearls can you explain your stance on gnolls, at all? Going from *very* good 4e winning races writeup to "they're mutant hyena demons"

Nothing is stopping you from running gnoll PCs in your game. We have to pick what we put into a book based on lore. #wotcstaff https://t.co/JQ9fNkV0Zw

@Sam_Urfer Wasn’t the Gnoll a second tier pick when the race options survey went out? Not clear why Gnoll lore can’t work, but Orcs can?
looking at the data I have, gnolls are at the bottom of the second tier – not 0, but behind a lot of options #wotcstaff

@Sam_UrferOK, so not a super-popular option: that seems a better reason, ad the lore is there historically for playable Gnolls? not per our default lore – we're trying to make each humanoid race more distinct. #wotcstaff

@LeMarcSharma @JeremyECrawfordDo Tritons speak underwater with each other, and if yes, can they cast spells underwater? yes and yes
