Both were introduced with Monstrous Compendium Spelljammer Appendix. Hadozee are an apelike race with vestigial wings allowing them to float in the air, while plasmoids are an amorphous race not unlike giant amoeba. All four were included in Travelers of the Multiverse as playable races alongside the astral elf and the insectoid thri-kreen. Spelljammer also introduced a number of unique races, among them the autognome, giff, hadozee, and plasmoid. It allowed players to navigate space for the first time in D&D with exotic, open-decked starships reminiscent of the Age of Sail. It effectively connects the many worlds of D&D, including Toril (The Forgotten Realms) and Krynn (Dragonlance), with a well-traveled network of interstellar trade routes.

Spelljammer was originally released for Advanced Dungeons & Dragons (also known as AD&D or second edition D&D) in 1989 by its original publisher, TSR. The release could be the first big hint that the long-awaited Spelljammer reboot is on the way in 2022. Four of those races are closely associated with the beloved Spelljammer setting. Titled Unearthed Arcana: Travelers of the Multiverse, it details six new playable races for D&D. On Friday, Wizards of the Coast released new playtest materials for Dungeons & Dragons’ fifth edition.
