Looks like someone already has the Monster Manual.   He has posted a preview of all the art work

Cloaker looks like it came straight out of the movie Pink Floyd The Wall.

Seems pretty nice, but again, it's coming at the cost of far more valuable rules.  The art is easy, type green dragon into google image and out pops thousands of green dragons, several quite a bit better than the one in the MM.  But can I google 5E rules for green dragons?  Uhhhh, nope.

 

The art should be the appetizer, not the main course.  More space needed to be spent on rules for monsters to make the hours of game time you fight them fun and less on the art to make the seconds you look at it colorful.

 

Oh, and of course all the monsters are male, because sexism.

You have no idea how much space is used on rules. This video was obviously just an appetizer of the art. Did I see Ancient Shadow Red Dragon? Shadow dragons are no longer and independent breed?

slyck, i saw that too. my immediate suspicion is that some kind of templating/hybriding option may be available.

That was my take on shadow dragons too.  That opens up some interesting possibilities if other planes will have templates for dragons too.
