I was looking through the monster by CR list in the DMG looking for low level monsters to populate a dungeon meant for level 1 PCs. And I quickly realized that there are a lot of them. Which is great, since in 5e AC doesn't scale very much over time, the low CR stuff can still actually scratch a few points of HP off high level PCs.
So what's your favourite low level monster and what makes them interesting?
As much as I love me some orcs, I feel like they've been done to death. Same goes for cultists and kobolds after running Horde of the Dragon Queen. I was thinking about throwing in some drow since I've never actually used them in a game before and I've read a couple of the Drizzt origin novels where the drow society was the most interesting part of the book (though that's not hard when the protagonist is Drizzt).
