D&D 5E Monsters You Miss

[ColinChapman]

So, looking at the contents of the MM and the Monsters by CR PDF, the new MM really does seem to cover nearly all of the most quintessential monsters. That said, it obviously can't cover all of them, so many of us will no doubt be missing some favourites. If you could've only added 10 critters to the MM, what would you have slotted in?

My choices:
* Derro
* Beholder: Eye of the Deep
* Barghest
* Froghemoth
* Mongrelman
* Giant, Firbolg
* Giant, Verbeeg
* Ant, Giant
* Grippli
* Cave Fisher

What about you?

 

[Steely Dan]

Archon (the real ones)
Eladrin (the real ones)
Guardinal
Rilmani
Demodand/Gehreleth
Algoid
Opinicus
Catoblepas
Maelephant
Korred

 

[ExploderWizard]

The land of misfit B/X critters:

Thoul
Robber Flies
Cave Locusts
Driver Ants
Living Statues
Rhagodessa
Rakasta
Green Slime
Yellow Mold

 

[Li Shenron]

Achaierai
Allip
Assassin Vine
Bodak
Bronze Golem
Couatl
Nerra
Nightshade
Nishruu
Nymph

 

[Steely Dan]

Achaierai
Allis
Assassin Vine
Bodice
Bronze Golem
Couatl
Nerra
Nightshade
Nitre
Nymph

Nice, odd that Bodak and Couatl were in the playtest.

I have converted the Achaierai, Bronze Golem and Nerra to 5th Ed.

 

[Werebat]

The tirapheg.

 

[77IM]

Catoblepas!

(Couatl is in there, look again)

Noting this thread for my review of the MM.
Surprised by some of the missing iconic monsters, like the Nymph.

The Formians are something I noticed as missing. And nymphs.

 

[The_Gneech]

Pretty much anything with an AC over 15. I can't roll dice to save my life.

I don't have the new MM yet, but I have seen the table of contents, so here are ten monsters I'd have tried to slip in there:

• Archon (elemental style)
• Ascomoid
• Aurumvorax
• Derro
• Destrachan
• Froghemoth
• Quicklings
• Spawn of Kyuss
• Uvuudaum
• Froghemoth
