A small, third-party collection of monsters for D&D 5th Edition, focusing on creatures from Asian cultures. The authors made a point of drawing on cultures outside Japan or China, including Cambodia and Vietnam, though they also didn't feel bound to be strictly accurate to the source material. This is also a conversion of material originally designed for Pathfinder, like many Legendary Games products... but other than a reference to Pathfinder's nagaji, it's not particularly noticeable. As for the monsters themselves, they're reasonably well-done, with the most interesting probably being the neak ta (spirits that bond with buildings), quyrua (turtle guardians of magical weapons), and srin-po (artistocratic undead that feed on fear).
