Oh so there are entries for Unique Fey Lords? Is Baba Yaga or similar Arch-Hag featured?

Yes, including Cailleach (queen of the Unseelie court) and Una (queen of the Seelie court), but this isn't official 5e. This is 3PP, Twilight Fables from a couple years ago.

Baba Yaga:

Why does the pronunciation guide say 'Yee-ga'. I've always heard 'Yah-ga'

Because that’s what I found when I was doing research.

How should Baba Yaga be correctly pronounced? I've heard Baba Yaa-Gaa in movies (e.g. John Wick, Ant-Man, Hellboy, etc) but a Russian fri...

Answer (1 of 5): Your Russian friend was right. In fact, he was probably too right. It is an important feature of Russian that unstressed vowels are strongly reduced, and if they are adjacent to palatal or palatalised consonants, they are fronted. Since the name in question is stressed on the e...

Undead and Fey it seems

It doesn't make a lot of sense to limit creatures to having only one type.

I really wish that they had gone with multiple types. It would have made this a lot easier.

Yeah, I don't like the "faerie-land/Midsummer Night's Dream" asthetic.

This isn't really one single aesthetic. It ranges from the saccharine to the grimdark. Of the many interpretations of Midsummer Nights Dream, the best one I've seen was the one the BBC did with the Doctor Who team in the style of Doctor Who.

And, of course, Forbidden Planet is The Tempest in space.

Ogres are an interesting case study for this new typing, because of our old school "ogre magi" AKA Oni.

So you can have Ogres of the Giant type.

And you can have Ogres of the Fey type that might be a little more fairy tale. Maybe they turn to stone if touched by sunlight.

And you can have Ogres of the Fiend type - oni with horns and terrible fangs.

And they can all be Ogres. Some linked to lower planes, or the feywild, or the material world. ...

While the term does encompass creatures that the West would considered demons, it's a much broader term that also includes things we'd call fae, undead, mischevious spirits, garden-variety monsters, dragons, and such.

Most of the time when I see Yokai in 5E, they usually get typed as Fey.

Kobold Press has TONS of Fey Lords/Ladies and Baba Yaga herself in their Tome of Beasts books.
