There will be at least the creatures featured in Lost Hall of Tyr, which will be created uniquely for the game. Some may be fairly familiar except for special abilities in keeping with the implied setting I'm drawing from.
Alfar, noršalfs, and a few other creatures for hunting and survival needs will be unique to the book, created as part of Random Encounter Tables that will show up in the newly-added wilderness travel portions of the book, or featured in the encounters that already exist.
I have no intention to feature a monster statblock in the book itself if it's a duplicate of an existing creature from Monsters, with the possible exception of Bear and Dire Wolf, which are so on point that it might be simply be silly to reskin them.
