In particular, a lot more of them have multiple damage types, which makes them more threatening to heavily armoured or (especially) damage resistant characters. There are also a lot more extras that creatures can do in certain situations or as bonus actions. This makes them more fun for me to play, as I have more tactical opportunities, and surprises are always fun for the story. Plus, they are generally a bit tougher, as well.The little tables that are I think mant to work as story hooks are neato, but I haven't used them once. YVMV.I really like the expansion of certain popular mobs to give them higher and/or lower level versions (e.g. vampires, owlbear, etc.). I've used a bunch of the alternate versions and this is something I'd like to see more of.Still salty over the loss of basic representations of iconic species - no orc warrior, elf ranger, and whatnot. Yes, I understand that the generic NPCs are supposed to be applied instead, but it ain't the same. For me.Overall, I think it's a necessary upgrade that probably didn't go far enough to keep up with PC power creep, but at least kept the creatures in the conversation.</blockquote>
