Huh- is this made explicit in the book, or does the vine blight just have basically the same thing going on?
Oooh, good ones!

I thought that the vine blight was a renamed vine horror.

(3E) Assasin vine is a large plant that can look like a plant, then constrict and entangle targets. As an attacking plant, it has blindsight.
(4E) Vine horror is an evil medium plant that can look like a plant, then constrict and entangle targets. As an attacking plant, it has blindsight.
(5E) Vine Blight is an evil medium plant that can look like a plant, then constrict and entangle targets. As an attacking plant, it has blindsight.
Note that all three have some reach/area affects, so can attack a wider area then a standard medium creature. If you had to differentiate the 3, vine horror is more mobile, and less dependent on looking like a plant to get prey then the assasin or blight.
EDIT: well, and the vine blight can speak...and this is linked to its new shiny lore...

The Dabus? They're pretty fun but they can be a bugger to run when as the DM if you want to use actual to rhebuses in play.
Gorgon and Nymph were the big two I was surprised to see absent. It also would have been nice to see the Kirin, the other two Sphinxes and at least a couple of unique fiends. I've actually never used a demon prince or anything similar in a game, but they are still fun to read about.
The AD&D monster manual had a huge number of "sexy" female monsters, and these were all removed from 5e or given male counterparts in order to be more inclusive, which is not necessarily a bad thing. I'm glad the majority of them were removed, because they were redundant IMO, even if mythology is full of such things. I still wish there was a least one though, just for old times sake.

For the record, the gorgon and succubus (& incubus) are both in there.
I am extremely eager to see a 5e MM2 already, and really hope it includes ki-rin. They're a great powerful good monster. And I completely agree on unique fiends. The other sphinxes I could take or leave, but no two people have the exact same taste in monsters.
