I grouched at WotC some about it at the time and I think one of them actually really listened to what I said (I included a spreadsheet plotting every monster whose defenses was out of whack) so I have hopes that newer monster vaults will be better.Actually, here's a<a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AspswKmHUtyIdEVsaW1ucHdaaXEzZHdnRy1odm8tZ1E#gid=0" target="_blank"> copy of the spreadsheet</a> - note that this was prior to the MV errata (the abyssal ghoul hungerer is off, at a minimum)Also good for noting that minions tend to get too low defenses <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=":)" /> (and they're the ones who can least afford it - at least a brute has a hp cushion)</blockquote>
