We have been getting loads of feedback, and we are so thrilled! All feedback (whether it be that you already love it, or that you think something is lacking) is super helpful!
To help us organize feedback as well, so we don't get a lot of the same threads, we are going to make a few Mega-Threads!
Giant Elk - the damage for it's Hoof attack is listed as (22) 4d8+4, which is the same as the DMG & Monster Manual, but this has been clarified as a mistake and it should be 13 (2d8+4), which is the same as many of the other CR2 beasts.
I have seen a couple of threads wishing for clickable spells in the monster descriptions. Or pop up boxes with the spell info. The same for other relevant information that is needed to run the monster without searching in multiple places. Special abilities, magic items. This would be great, and it seems this mega-thread is the right place to ask for it.

Quoting for emphasis. My DM is constantly flipping between monster listings and spells. If you can't list them on the same page, at least link the spells.

or as a mouseover hover, would be really cool. That same code could be re-used all over the site, including on the forums.
I'm thinking like the way sites like wowhead work, where you can put the name of the spell inside square brackets and it becomes a mouseover link.
If I sort the monster search results, then click on a type or otherwise change the filter, the sorting is lost. It would be helpful if the sorting was retained when changing filters.
Just posting to rave about the monsters section! I'm currently DMing a campaign, and for the most part make up encounters on the fly. I have some select monsters for the theme of the campaign that have been my go-to monsters. With the monster tab I love the ability to be able to, for example, look at all the fiends available and sort them by challenge rating. Allows me to make many more varied encounters. Also I try to keep the amount of papers I have to as little as I can, so usually I'm flipping back and forth in the Monster Manual when I need the stats of two different monsters during an encounter. By opening tabs with multiple creatures I am able to get the information much faster and keep the flow of battle going. I haven't found much of a use for the other features yet, but as far as the Monsters section goes, I give it a 10/10! Thanks!
So I started back to D&D after a 20 year hiatus. Overall I am really enjoying 5th edition, but one thing is driving me crazy. Actual size of creatures is sorely missing from the 5th ed Monster Manual. Having a general size category works ok for game mechanics but doesn't do much for quickly giving the players a decent description of the size of the creatures they are seeing. Especially if you have multiple creatures in the same size category. I am really hoping we might see some specific size descriptors in the Monsters section of D&D beyond.
I would like it if in the monster descriptions the picture of the monster was bigger. Also I would like if a picture came up when I initially clicked on the monster. I like the artwork! You guys should show off your awesome artwork :)
Hey really enjoying it! I wish there was some kind of description like in the monster manual of the monster. Otherwide I think your doing great and I will definitely use this site over third party stuff!
I would prefer that the filters at the top automatically sort the content (rather than requiring a button to send a form) and have the filters work dynamically. I do love this though. Great job so far!
Hey Richard - Core rulebooks and supplements are not available at this time. They are definitely planned for the future though. Right now the site is limited to SRD content. For more information, go here.

All this is great! I'm really looking forward to using this while away from the books and being able to get the errata fixes.
Thanks Wizards!

I love having all the monsters in one place, I've been tossing them into Onenote as i use them but its much easier to be able to sort them.
That said I'd really love to be able to tag monsters, that way I can favorite them or build monster lists.
Also I know it has been said elsewhere but formatting the monsters the same way as the print statblocks will prevent confusion and is frankly just an easier to read layout on mobile devices. Opening entries in new windows will prevent me from loosing my sorting everytime I open a "Visit Monster Page" link. It would also be awesome to have a "View Image" link so I can show players monsters.
When it comes to later phases I would love it if I could quick add monsters from the list to an encounter, either in an encounter builder or simply strait into a combat tracker, preferably both. Being able to modify the monsters in the encounter builder would be great as well. Being able to modify HP, add equipment, change NPC race, etc. I'd really love a quick way to adjust CR but I'm not sure DnD actually makes a way to do that without fully rebuilding a creature and doing calculus.

This one will be focused on the Monsters Listing!
I do stuff, sometimes.

When filtering by Legendary creatures, the Couatl is listed as Legendary, but it is not actually a Legendary creature.

Probably adding in information for monster characters, or at least a link to the information once character creation stuff is unlocked.
A way to mark off or list multiple monsters for use would also be good.

Anyway this is a great start.
It looks like the Wight's alignment is listed as Neutral but should be Neutral Evil.
First off, great job on this! I think these tools will be very useful and easy to use.
One small thing I would like to see is the addition of the basic rules as a filter option under sources.
Thanks!
