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.

That's why I feel there should be stats for mobs of Humanoids. Like 20 to 30 of those are a CR 3 or 4 creature, with an area attack that does 4d6 piercing Dex save for half.

Just briefly looking at the 2024 DMG in the Multiverse chapter, the word Angel was used at least twice in reference to Mount Celestial and what Zariel was. They would not use that word there in the DMG which they wrote at the same time as the MM, if they weren't going to be in the MM.

Are they from the system where there's that planet of Tarrasques, and the Tarrasques are being hunted by some bigger predators?

So Tuesday is Undead and Thursday is Monstrosities Maybe we'll find out if the Owlbear is no longer a Monstrosity...

This is related to the idea that Owlbears must somehow be creations of Wizards because they're a combination of different animals. Well we have the Platypus a creature that's a weird combinations of something like a Beaver with a Duck, surely that must be just as magical as an Owlbear. And if...

The PC rules aren't always going to be the same as the NPC/Monster rules. In the very same book that had Goblins, Hobgoblins and Bugbears PCs as Humanoids with the Fey Ancestry trait, they had Hobgoblins as monsters/NPCs who were actually Fey.

Empyreans are the old Titans from previous editions, but they weren't like Titans from Greek Myth, they're more like Demigods such as Herakles and the like. Angels might be spawned spotaneously by the Upper Planes or they might be ascended souls of dead mortals.

Thanks to the collective bargaining efforts of the Kobold's Worker Union, Kobolds are now recognized as Dragons. Good for them!

For Yuan-Ti I have them being of different cultures and different Serpent Gods or beings. They could be about something like Apeps, Jormangandr, Coatls, Vasuki, Mucalinda and more. They can vary in their agendas, some of this is based off of Eberron having a Coatl inspired order of Yuan-Ti along...

Some would argue that Slenderman is folklore now, it's rather recent.
