D&D (2024) New Celestials | 2024 Monster Manual | D&D

I like that sapient giant animals are now celestials - makes sense to me.

Fine with the change to Sphinx's too, not sold on their art though. I guess it makes for the change though.

I would have preferred they be giants. What about them is celestial, exactly?

I might be the outlier here, but I really like the new sphinx look! They look otherworldly and strange in a way a Celestial should, even if they do diverge from the traditional sphinx appearance.
Also, the explanation about the Sphinx of Wonder being the lil Lawful Good critter makes sense to me, design wise!

I like they are giving suggestions on how to use these celestials in your campaign. Even if they are "good" they can still be antagonists.

I like that specific restoration abilities (for celestials and fiends) listed in stat blocks. Not sure about generic ones, will have to see how that works.

Guardian Naga & Pegasus:

That is the snootiest pegasus I have ever seen.

That is a Pegasus that knows it's in the Celestial category, and wants to be treated accordingly!
