She would not be in the monster stablock. Even an Aspect of hers is CR30. No way to fight Tiamat herself, she is a god who can un-make you with a thought.

Tiamat, however, does have a page listing in the Character Dossier. And from the leaked Alustriel format of HER Dossier, there is a stat block. I cannot imagine they would be so bold as to create a sb for Tiamat.. but... this is WotC we are talking about..

, she is a god who can un-make you with a thought.

That's not really how gods work in D&D.

They have put her stat block in multiple books already, though.

I have not, but I think I got the gist from the ToC discussions.

Yeah the adventure makes it clear they were both just evil even back when they were mortal.
