D&D 5E My MMII Wishlist

[Anth]

There is an earlier thread about monsters people missed in MM, but my Google Fu is weak today.
And I miss Son of Kyuss.

 

[Eric V]

I agree with, oh, 95% of your list. Well done.

I don't ever want to see gem dragons back, though. I'd much rather the catastrophic and plague dragons from 4E.

While I also love the catastrophic dragons as well, why the gem dragon hate?

 

[Giltonio_Santos]

Adding to your list, I'd love to have official derro stats for my Night Below conversion. Also, the giff would be a good addition. Mercenary spelljamming hippopotamus for the win!

 

[trentonjoe]

I made my own dark creeper/stalker if you want it.

No love for psionic dragon, eh Ari? I say let's have 'em all!

@Jargogle: Great list!
[MENTION=6672108]rjfTrebor[/MENTION]: I second the balhannoth! I love the idea of this monster.

Here you go (although not sure why it has a swim speed lol. Oops.

 

[Trickster Spirit]

Nice list so far - a few that I'd add:

Ant Lion
Assassin Vine
Babau
Choker
Dracolisk
Green Slime
Grues
Ironmaw
Jann

And then Giant Ants in the appendix I guess.

Not to mention that any edition that's lacking the Rot Grub, Ear Seeker and Throat Leech isn't REAL D&D!!1!

... I was going to type "/ragequit", but it was simply too stupid to go through with. Forgive me.

I concur. Excellent list; swap out gem dragons for a couple of demon lords and archdevils, throw in Sons of Kyuss, and it's perfect.
