Personally, I'm fond of calling it a Creature Compendium but the Sage Advice Compendium kinda steps on the name.

Eh the sage advice compendium is less important, rename it. Doesn’t really matter if it has a bland name.

I just think calling all creatures that aren’t PCs “monsters” makes D&D look goofy. In an embarrassing way, not an endearing way.

Opponents of pertinent significance? OOPS?

Is it also "embarrassing" that the game is called dungeons and dragons? I mean, it is kind of a goofy name.

I think a lot of things about D&D are goofy, I still enjoy playing.

Nah. Nothing goofy about Dungeons and Dragons.

Compendium of the Living and the Living Impaired, volume .101.

But that excludes the never living Constructs

In all seriousness, a true "monster manual" would be just a list of people who leave their shopping carts in the parking lot instead of returning them to the collection spot.

Taken.

Skills: Perception +4 (to spot said last item), disadvantage on Use Tool (shopping cart)
