Interesting, could have come straight out of the AD&D monster manual for most of that!

Not to mention the cool monsters from the Fiend Folio...

...and the Flumph, too.

Anyone spy any omissions worthy of comment?

You dare mock the Demon Lord of Tongue-twisters and Bad Acronyms? Fool!

Some neat things:

Accerack has his own Stat block. :devil:

Dragons come in four sizes: Wyrmling, Young, Adult, and Ancient

No Archdevils or Demon Lords

No Eladrin, but we have Angels, Devil, Demons, Slaadi, Modrons, and Yugoloths!

Templates are back: Half Dragon, Shadow Dragon(!), and Spore Servant are all ones.

Ogre Magi are just Oni now.

OMG, the peryton made a MM1 for the first time since 1e! And myconids, for the first time ever! Ohhh, I'm going to swoon with joy!

Humans, elves, etc. Though I suspect that one of the appendices will have animals and humans both.

Dire animals, possibly?

I notice we've lost the destrachan from the MM, which was in the 3e and 4e versions. Also, I was hoping for a quickling.

But honestly, this looks like a fantastic list.

The Npc section will probably have the PC races in it. The Basic doc already has info on making elven acolytes, half - orc knights, etc.

The dire animals (dire wolf excluded) seem to be back to giant animals again.
