I think many PC Goblins are going to be "City Goblins" they likely grew up in a city with a mixed population like with Humans or Orcs, maybe that city has a "Goblintown" as a neighbourhood or maybe they were just were that one Goblin family among others. With Githzerai, already Planescape in 2e...

If the Mind Flayer's Extract Brain is the same as it was in the 2014 book, then yes NPC Gith are immune to that. I don't see why that was the case in 2014 only working on Humanoids as I think it's should be easy for a Mind Flayer to extract a brain from a beast like a dog, and probably most...

I think part of the Githyanki's play against any of the Illithid plans are that they have the pact with Tiamat, the most obvious part of that pact is that they get Red Dragon allies. And Gith who lead the original rebellion is imprisoned somewhere in the Nine Hells by Tiamat. The idea that...

Pho might be a bit of a stretch as it would have to come about from a situation that's different from there being a something like a Vietnam that took on both Chinese and French influences for noodle soup. Bahn Mi probably even more, as I'm sure that was invented in Vietnam when some Frenchman...

Beasts are going to be grouped with something else, since they're excluding anything fantastical from Beasts they're mostly things we know about like Wolves, Cats, Horses and Dinosaurs. If I was to guess, it'll be with either Humanoids or Plants.

I guess they'll bringing up NPC Githzerai which were Aberrations in the recent Planescape campaign settings. PC Githzerai will remain as Humanoids.

The Feywild and Shadowfell are a lot more important in 5e (a trend that started in the edition before it). It makes sense they cover all of the planes, as options for places to go to at all levels.

Satyr makes some sense, but they have the quite useful to have Magic Resistance trait to go along with it. Sure being a Satyr is better for resisting spells than being a Yuan-Ti, which also has the trait since a Satyr in Monsters of the Multiverse is Fey while the Yuan-Ti is humanoid. But the...

That's been the thing post 3.5e, and some would argue for most of 3.5e as well as it only really seemed to matter in something like Savage Species were the Species (like if you played an Ogre or Ghaele) were part of the level progression for some characters.

If the 2024 rules are 5.5, then the material in Monsters of the Multiverse, Planescape, Fizban's, and Bigby's is 5.25, those were all books written around the time the process for the revised rules started. There may be some things that might need some more refinements, but they're close enough...

The planes have been a big part of D&D of a long time, and a lot of the monsters from the MM do come from those different planes. And while being one of the non-standard campaign settings, Planescape is still a fairly popular one.

Picking Humanoid usually still is the best option, as you're almost always guaranteed to fight Humanoids. And it goes back to 3e where if your Ranger could pick Humanoid (Human) as a favored enemy, than they should as you'll probably fight a lot of Humans in just about every campaign.

Creatures created or transformed by magic, like the Platypus...

Often brought up on the subject of Goblins being Fey in the Monster Manual, but I feel that species such as Goblins, Hobgoblins and Bugbears which are Humanoids as PCs but have the Fey Ancestry Trait where they get Advantage on saves against and to end the Charmed condition is usually more...

In Monsters of the Multiverse while NPC Hobgoblins were Fey, PC Hobgoblins, Goblins and Bugbears were Humanoids of the Goblinoid subtype with the Fey Ancestry Trait which was Advantage on saves vs the Charmed condition. Monsters of the Multiverse was written when they were considering the...

There's Baby Bulettes and male Harpies in this video, plus Driders, Thri-Kreen (which PC Thri-Kreen already were), Kenku, Yuan-Ti and Lycanthropes as Monstrosities now.

Monstrosities is the Miscellaneous category, some things will be moved out of it, some thing will be moved in.

That's why they're undead, they died from an unfortunate accident while walking through a door.
