I did not like it how it was in the MM 2014, because it worked 100%.I liked it how it worked in later books, where an investigation DC was used to determine something is wrong.In 2024, noticing something however is always a wisdom(perception) check. So maybe this is why they did not want that either.Now it is purely in the flavour text. And monsters usually have a stealth bonus... I wish, they would have a hide in plain sight ability spelled out in the statblock as a reminder that they can easily hide in fitting enviroment. Maybe the solution is just using their passive stealth check with advantage as DC to find them there. That seems like a fair way to deal with that.A similar thing I noticed in undeads: they all lost the undead fortitude trait. But they all gained immunity to exhaustion. So they can neither starve, nor suffocate, nor die due to lack of sleep.I wish some things were spelled out a bit more explicitely in the sat block. But I guess, you can´t put everything in there. Short stat blocks also have merits.</blockquote>
