[QUOTE="humble minion, post: 8487446, member: 5948"] Isn't there an upcoming D&D kids book where the heroine has a cute friendly mimic sidekick, among other critters? A bit of variation like that is a good thing, and I can certainly see the argument that having a single descriptive culture for a monster listed in the MM or Volo's or whatever might be seen to discourage that. What they SHOULD have done of course it provide a list of possible ways each critter could be incorporated into a campaign world, like the setting books provide lists of, for instance, suggested adventure hooks in a location. You don't have to use one, or all, or any of the options WotC provides, they're just there for inspiration. But to do that for a large number of critters from the MM or Volo's would require a lot more work from writers, and WotC was never going to pay for that for the sake of 'errata'. [/QUOTE]
