D&D 5E Monsters You Miss

Sacrosanct

Legend
So, looking at the contents of the MM and the Monsters by CR PDF, the new MM really does seem to cover nearly all of the most quintessential monsters. That said, it obviously can't cover all of them, so many of us will no doubt be missing some favourites. If you could've only added 10 critters to the MM, what would you have slotted in?

My choices:
* Derro
* Beholder: Eye of the Deep
* Barghest
* Froghemoth
* Mongrelman
* Giant, Firbolg
* Giant, Verbeeg
* Ant, Giant
* Grippli
* Cave Fisher

What about you?

This was my big one I wish I saw. Also:

Aspis
rot grubs (although I suspect this will be a trap in the DMG)
green slime (I like the monster version, and I think this will be a trap in the DMG also)
haunt
sea lion
kelpie

First Post
- Catoblepas (I'm about 99% sure it makes it in MM2 now, at least partially due to this post)
- Chitine
- Achaierai
- Attic Whisperer
- Brownie
- Banderhobb

- Grippli, particularly player stats
- Ratfolk, again for PC purposes
- Catfolk, again for PC purposes

Everything super-weird from the Planescape bestiaries. Particularly the mute race that talks in pictures.
 


On the one hand, I want my derro.

OTOH, I still have vague hopes of being allowed to design them myself for a new edition, because I really want to play with their origins a little bit. ;)
