Minn's Magical Menagerie is a fantastic addition to bring into your game if you're looking to spice things up a bit with some interesting and useful animal companions. If you're party includes a member that oh so desperately wants a pet, and we all have one of those in our parties, then this book is perfect for you to bring in some interesting critters that could help them out!

One thing that really struck me about this was that every single animal there had a purpose that a party could benefit from. From spiders that can repair clothing and armor to bats that act as a sentry for watching your back or standing guard over the night watch, this book includes a ton of fantastic additions to your already spiffy adventuring party. One nice thing as a DM is that the way this is written is so that you could basically read verbatim what is written down as the encounter. Each description of the animals and even the introduction itself is written as though you were describing this scene to your party. I loved each description they had of the creatures because not only did it fill in on the details of the critters but it also gave you a good idea of what their personality was like.

Another great usage of this book is having animals that work for your villains. An opposing adventuring party could just as easily have a hunting dog that is searching for your party or a BBEG could have a number of these sentry bats placed around their castle when you try to sneak in, and it creates a fuller experience for the players because they suddenly have to think about basic wildlife instead of just the monsters around them.

So if you're looking for a great addition to your adventuring party, or you want to spice things up with the enemies that your party will face then i highly recommend this book.
