Kobold Press always made nasty monsters IMO. I remember using some creatures from the original Tome of Beasts and being surprised how much they could do for their CR.What I like about Tales of the Valant's monster book is that the monsters do high damage. The Fey Guardian, for example, at CR 5, can output 40 damage a round. A handful of these, given their other various tricks, can be a real threat. It means combat is serious, and that players will need to rely on some outside the box tactics to win from time to time.
