There's Baby Bulettes and male Harpies in this video, plus Driders, Thri-Kreen (which PC Thri-Kreen already were), Kenku, Yuan-Ti and Lycanthropes as Monstrosities now.

If Kenku are monstrosities now then maybe Aacrokra are too.

Lizardfolk weren't mentioned as being monstrosities.

It is interesting. I was assuming all playable species might be moving to all be humanoids. That is clearly not the case. I wonder if that means gnolls are still on the table for a PC option? @Charlaquin , what do you think?

I think it says a lot about the designers that they decided to give the owlbear a 5 foot fly speed.

To be clear, that was not the owlbear, but the primeval owlbear. A larger and more magical / fey touched version of the creature.
