I'm with you! I normally search monsters using DDB, but I have a physical copy of the MM because it's gorgeous, and the first time I flipped through it, I was like, "The hell is this?" Very confusing. I recognize there's no perfect system, but the 2024 version is the least ideal, for me.

Worst is that there isn't even a system. Devils are all under their adjective name like dragons are under their color, but slaad are all in one place under Slaadi.

Most of tge Fiends don't have any adjective, and aren't variants of each other. Different variants of the same Monster are grouped together to allow for CR variant encounters or group encounters (like Slaad or Pirates, or age variants on a type of Dragon) , but entirely different Monsters are listed d separately. It is also very, very well indexed.

That list is really tepid and I see they are sticking to their guns on humanoids having no stat blocks beyond utterly generic NPC types from the main book. Ergh.

Actually they have not been sticking to their guns. For example, drow got unique stat blocks in the recent FR book.

Im hoping for raid mechanics but its a faint hope. I think thats beyond what most players probably want.

The joys of bounded accuracy.

That isn’t a BA issue, it is a CR issue. There are creatures with AC up to at least 25.
