I don't think they were speaking in a broad sense.You asked for another example. I gave you one. You don't need to take it out on me if you don't like it. I didn't write the book.I can't think of one right now, but then, it's pretty early in the day for me. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />But that's immaterial. It doesn't matter what your type is, just your form. Magic items very rarely ever care what your type is in the first place, unless of course you're on the receiving end of an Arrow of Slaying.I'm sure you're aware that he can wear the ring while polymorphed into a humanoid, so that's not a problem. But, according to the rules, the ring would be absorbed into his body when he changed back.With the exception of their head, Mind Flayers are very humanoid. You have to think in this matter, use your own logic. Besides, you must not have read the drider example above for you to even bring this one up.Again, you've missed something pretty important......almost anything can wear armor or barding. These two examples aren't exceptional at all.That was rather presumtuous. Why on earth would I expect you to cite examples from a book that doesn't contain a single creature with equipment, even humanoids, in the first place? (Again, weapons don't count. Anything with a hand can use a weapon.)It was shown to me above that some creatures, like driders, do indeed have at least some item slots. In other words, it looks to be like a case by case basis, and some creatures are easier to figure out than others. Fun, eh? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
