So far Blue Abashi, Demigorgon, Deurgar, Star Spawn, for monsters.

For playable races Eladarin and Centaurs. Last time I checked Eladarin was a subrace and playable Centaurs so far in 5e have only been in MtG setting books, Ravnica and Theros. This will be the first time Centaurs will published for the regular D&D multiverse. This could mean fresh lore.

Commence Speculation!

I imagine eladrin as elves+planetaouched, elves with an eladrin(outsider) ancestor.

Sorry, but when I listen about D&D centaurs I can't avoid to try imagine a D&D centaur (mash-up) version of "My Little Pony". And their arms are too short to scratch their hips.

Centaurs - as monsters - have been part of default D&D since the 1st edition Monster Manual. Making them playable does not need new lore.

Explaining why the playable Centaurs are Fey and not the other ones might need new lore.

It doesn't say they are. The lineage version may not be the same as the race. Alternatively, the monster manual version could change creature type from monstrosity to fey. No need to change any of the lore, which doesn't say they are not fey.

MotM is a setting-neutral book. Anything setting-specific doesn't go here.

SPELLJAMMER CONFIRMED!

Quick blurb on how certain centaurs grew up in the Feywild and trace their origins there. They're smaller and friendlier.

Or wait until 2024 and retcon the MM centaur to a medium fey.

I expect very minimal lore: this is a mechanics expansion book, aimed at new players who want to get up to speed with the rules.

Am I the only one who thinks the Star Spawn looks a bit like Jeremy Crawford? I wonder if the artist did that deliberately.
