Oh so there are entries for Unique Fey Lords? Is Baba Yaga or similar Arch-Hag featured?
Yes, including Cailleach (queen of the Unseelie court) and Una (queen of the Seelie court), but this isn't official 5e. This is 3PP, Twilight Fables from a couple years ago.

Why does the pronunciation guide say 'Yee-ga'. I've always heard 'Yah-ga'
Because that’s what I found when I was doing research.

 



Yeah, I don't like the "faerie-land/Midsummer Night's Dream" asthetic.
This isn't really one single aesthetic. It ranges from the saccharine to the grimdark. Of the many interpretations of Midsummer Nights Dream, the best one I've seen was the one the BBC did with the Doctor Who team in the style of Doctor Who.

And, of course, Forbidden Planet is The Tempest in space.
 

Ogres are an interesting case study for this new typing, because of our old school "ogre magi" AKA Oni.

So you can have Ogres of the Giant type.

And you can have Ogres of the Fey type that might be a little more fairy tale. Maybe they turn to stone if touched by sunlight.

And you can have Ogres of the Fiend type - oni with horns and terrible fangs.

And they can all be Ogres. Some linked to lower planes, or the feywild, or the material world. ...

While the term does encompass creatures that the West would considered demons, it's a much broader term that also includes things we'd call fae, undead, mischevious spirits, garden-variety monsters, dragons, and such.
Most of the time when I see Yokai in 5E, they usually get typed as Fey.
