Just wanted to point out that there is a very good chance that the green dragon stat block is no longer accurate as it doesn't have legendary actions. We know from the gold dragon preview and the video that dragons have legendary actions

I wish that they understood that the CR rightly belongs to the right of the Name, not buried in the middle of the block. That and if you have room to write "The Empyrean casts Healing Word using the same spellcasting ability as Spellcasting" then you have more than enough room to put "One creature within 30ft regains 2d4+3 Hit Points".

For the life of me, I don't understand why they can't come up with abbreviated versions of (most) spells and put them directly in the Stat Block. I get it for really long complicated spells, but c'mon. Healing Word is not one of those. And yet, I'd still have to look it up to remember exactly what it does.

EDIT: I just discovered that @Reynard made a whole thread on exactly this subject!

Thanks for the collection thread.

Minor gripes being the order of the day...
The Minotaur Skeleton description describes them using great axes. Statbock just gives them a slam. I think this was the case with the 2014 ed also. But just irks me irrationally.

Honestly, it's a legit complaint.

It doesn't look like it.
